arrested, will have his hearing at the
same time. Kornemann was a guest of
Heynacher while here Where he was ne

Saliett, in a statement, declares his
loyalty to the United States and says
he left Germany because of his opposi-

dom nor Germany in he war.
Kornemann, it is alleged. transmitted

activities.
The arrests OF the two men at Aber-

by federal officers on the Offices of the

home here. The meeting place of the
Germania Vcrein, a local German So
