SCHROEDER MAY STAY HERE
UNTIL SUMMONED TO COAST
BY u. S. ATTORNEY PRESTON
Huber Discounts Theory That
Honolulu Men are Merely
witnesses"

Heinrich Augustus Schroeder, clerk
In the insurance department OF II.
Hackfeld & Co., who surrendered him
self to local federal officials on Sat
urday following the preparation of a
warrant for his arrest on "a charge
OF completely in a plot to foment a
rebellion in India, may remain in Hon
olulu until summoned to the main,
land by District Attorney Preston of
San Francisco.
This is the opinion Of U. S. Attorney
5. G. Huber, who says he Is informed
that Schroeder has notified Preston
that he Is ready to proceed to San
Francisco as soon as the coast Off.
Gals want him. 1t was expected that
Schroeder would leave for the main
land in the Wilhelmina tomorrow but,
when seen this morning, he said the
date Of his departure is indefinite.
Schroeder will leave here unattend,
ed. as the bond of $4,000, signed
Saturday morning with the Hartford
Insurance Co. as surety, is for his ap'
pcarance before the San Francisco
officials
1T is quite likely that the federal
officials in San Francisco will want
Schroeder within a very short time,
as do not believe there will be any
delay in the arraignment of those
who have been indicted" says At
torney Huber.
Attorney Huber says he has every
reason to believe that no other resi-
dents Of the territory are under sus.
picion OF being implicated in the plot
with which 1t is alleged Schroeder
and Georg Rodiek. president Of the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association
and former German consul, we're con
nected.
He also scouts the theory that Ro
dick and Schroeder have been indicted
merely to hold them as witnesses.
This is not DONE, says Mr.. HUI
Der. Witnesses are not indicted"
A theory advanced by federal Off
cials is that certain correspondence
regarding the Hindu plot may have
come through the local German con
sulate and that, by the transmission
Of this correspondence, Rodiek, who
was then consul. and Schroeder, his
secretary, may have become aware
Of the existence Of the plot.
Had any other residents of the ter
rftory been connected with the plot
thinks Mr.. Huber, they would have
been indicted with the others, as the
federal officials in San Francisco
would have mot delayed this long. He
points out that all the alleged con
spirators were indicted ION the same
testimony and information and, be-
cause of this, he believes that all in
dictments to be returned have been
handed down.
While Rodiek and Schroeder may
have had no direct connection with
the sending Of one Hari Singh, Hin.
du, to Los Angeles to aid Fin the col.
lection Of money for the rebellion, as
mentioned in the radiogram received

BUYABUNCHOF
BANANAS URGES
KRAUSS OF MAUI
Only Way to Get Cheap Food
and Relieve Congestion,
Thinks Food Agent

Buy a whole bunch Of bananas in
stead of just a hand or two. A bunch
costs little more than a hand, and a
bunch of bananas in the house is an
incentive to eat moro Of the fruit
thus providing a cheap, yet highly
nourishing and palatable food.
This is the suggestion Of Frederick
G.. krauSs, agent OF the territorial
food commission on Maui for con,
serving the hundreds OF punches OF
bananas which are going to waste
daily in Honolulu because OF lack OF
cargo space to get them TO the main
land. Mr.. krauss, who is in Honolulu
on business, was to return to the Val
ley Island this evening.
Mr.. 'Krauss says that Maui is just
beginning to awaken 10 the need OF
producing more food crops. but points
out that the response thSt the re-
spouse that island is making to the
call is highly patriotic.
The important thing tint Should g

BILE the expense incurrd ia gettin=
food from the produccI to | be con
sumner. In this respect he believes
that the middleman's rfits should be
reduced or eliminated, ifp0ssible, and
that transportation rates Should be
cut to the minimum.

under cultivation. . About $50 have
been planted out in the pineapple
fields. Further paintings OF seeos
were made during the fiscal year.
Over 100 cross-breeds are under cui-
tiyation. Several hundred selections
have been made in the Gelds OF
plants TO be propagated by slips or
by suckers to determine whether GER
