RODIEk LOSES !.
CITIZENSHIP
SAYS JURISl

Personal opinions expressed today
by Federal Judge Horace w. Vaughan
and Assistant U. S. Attorney J. ].
Banks are that Georg Rodiek, vice.
president OF II. Hackfeld & Co., and
former German consul here, has been
shorn OF his American citizenship
rights as the result of his conviction
In San Francisco of activity in the
plot to foment a rebellion in India.
The federal statutes provide that
when person is convicted of felony
he forfeits his right to vote as well as
his right to hold public office. AS re-
CARDS the determination of a felony,
the statutes definition is that all of:
lenses which may be punishable by
death or Imprisonment for a term ex-
ceeding one year, shall be deemed a
felony. I'D r~
Instead Of being given a prison sen.
tence for the felony he pleaded guilty
to, Rodiek was fined $4,000 by the
San Francisco judge now hearing the
Hindu conspiracy matter. Judge
Vaughan points out that the fact that
Rodiek was merely fined does not re-
iieve him from the forfeiture of his
citizenship rights. II
Citizenship rights may be restored
only by the president Of the United
StateS

With rules of procedure adopted the

Kaiser Would Summon Rulers
Dispatches from the Kaiser which
reached Copenhagen said that he had
informed the government that If the
diplomats would agree to the Russian
peace proposals or such counter pro-
posals as the present council might
favor he would personally go to Brest-
Litovsk and call for assembly there
all of the sovereigns and regents Of
Europe to a peace conference similar
to the one which followed the Napo.

The Kaiser declared that everybody
wants peace and that the future Of

Rumania is not credited with having
sent any delegates to the conference
and has possibly decided not to par

Ell PASO, Texas, Dec. 24.-Charles
Feige who, all the evidence indicates,
was German spy, was shot and kill
ed yesterday by army patrols as he
sought to cross into Mexico. When
his body was searched there were
found upon him papers that appear to
indicate clearly that he was a spy.
Among therpaper were ground plans Of
troop camps and Notifications. He
also carried camera.
When Feige was seen by the army
patrols approaching the international
line he was ordered to halt but failed
to obey and quickened his pace. No
heed was paid to second order
whereupon the patrols fired and Feige
dropped dead few yards from the
safety which Mexico would have az
forded him. t --

CHILD SUCCEEDS
CASTLE AS CHIEF
FOOD DEXECUTIVE

J. F. Child, federal food admins,
traitor for the territory. has been ap,
pointed executive officer of the terri
torial food commission, thus giving
him practically entire control over all
food conservation and food regulation
matters in Hawaii.
Administrator Child succeeds Attor,
ney A. L. Castle, who resigned re-
Gently. Mr.. Child was assistant execu-
tive officer, and it was while he held
that position that he was appointed
federal administrator by the president.
The territorial food commission has
abolished the office of assistant execu.
tive officer, but it is likely that Mr..
Child may appoint some one to assist
him.
The necessity of speeding mp the
work of the food commission has been
pointed out from time to time, and
this is to be taken up by Mr. Child
when he visits Washington to confer
with Herbert Hoover Mr.. Child is
now allowed a substantial sum- of
money each month for the employ
ment of assistants, and he will prob
ably gather a staff of workers about
him upon his return from the main.

IN GEIER PLOT
immigration Inspector Says
Ex-consuI Got Him to Send

Since the publication Of the Grass

charge of the Hawaii immigration sta
tion, declares he believes false repre.
sentations regarding the physical
condition Of a member Of the Geier
crew were made personally to him by
former German Consul George Rodiek
and H.. A. Schroeder, the consulate
secretary.
It is q reference IN the Grasshof d.
ary to Geier sailors and officers who
are sick for whom II is believed pos.
sible to secure permission to travel TO
the states" that causes Mr.. Halsey TO
believe he was duped by the former
German consul and his secretary.
He says that he remembers Rodiek

sey says.
AS revealed in the CRASHED diary,
this was ali part Of plan to get the
Geier officers and sailers to the main
land and eventually TO Germany, In
contrayention Of their parole.
Only this one instance is remem.
bered by Mr.. Halsey because the re-
quest Mas made to him personally,
and he is not certain that others of
the Geier crew were, not given similar
privileges subsequently. o..
The underground plan to slip Ger.
mans away from here on the way to
Germany is told of in the diary in
these words: t

those who are sick have been given

This same faction has begun the
