FORMER CHEF FOR
 ROYALTY IS HERE
Man Who Served ez-KaiSer
 SCOrnS To Work For American

New York, July 2 GPl-The aged chef of three generations of Hohen- zollerns, looking more like a diplo- mat than a kitchen functionary, ar rived today on the United American liner Cleveland.
 He is Rudolph karg, who spent 47 of his 73 years serving the for mer imperial German household and has now come to live in retire. ment with his son at Ridgewood, x. J. He avoWed he had rejected many fabulous offers to preside over the kitchens of wealthy Americans.
 T do not wish to take a post of this sort" he said, "after serving a monarch. I had one offer of fab ulous sum from an immensely wealthy New York banker. I re- fused it. I forget his name, but fig ured he wished to build up a repu- tation on my past performances.
 "I have pension from both the kaiser and the German government and need worry no more as 10 how to get along"
 Karg first served the kaiser's grandfather as a special cook, then the kaiser's father, and then the kaiser prior 10 his flight to Doorn. Regarding the kaiser, he said:
 The emperor usually enjoyed any food if he was in a good temper, but he enjoyed none if he were not" karg has many medals and wore iewelry given him by Czar Nicholas of Russia and the kaiser. He was dressed in a cutaway suit with pince neg glasses on his nose.

GERMAN PROPERTY
 ISSUE IS UP AGAIN
Socialists Resent Failure To
 ConfSCate Holdings

Berlin, July UP}-The question of the disposition of the properties of Germany's one-time rulers again is agitating the political world.
 The socialists, resentful over the failure of the recent referendum to declare for confiscation of the vast properties. in caucus have declined to accept the governments royal claims compromise bill and planned that the reichstag be dissolved.
 The compromise bill, which is now before the reichstag, while not depriving the former rulers con- pletely of their properties, never theless takes scant cognizance of their claims to unmolested possess sion. In the bill number of settle ments entered into with Russia and other federated states by the rulers are made retroactive. Also the bill disregards the alleged titles of ex- rulers to numerous castles and places which the government be- lieyes should remain public prop erty. The bill already has passed It's second reading in the reichstag.
 The action of the socialists means that the government cannot obtain the necessary two-thirds majority to pass the measure, as the right par ties also are opposed to it, and it is thought the government will be compelled to withdraw it.
 Among the eventualities suggested by the demand of the socialists for propagation is that President Von ndenburg may intervene and de- cree an emergency empowering act, which may provide for the creation of special tribunals for determining the justice of the claims of the members of the deposed ruling house, The president has stated that he is opposed to confiscation as being immoral.
 The socialists decision to reject the governments compromise bill reached the members of the cabinet in the midst of a state dinner al the Russian embassy, where ratification of the Russo-German treaty was being celebrated with champagne, caviar and pledges of friendship.
 After the dinner the cabinet mem- bers withdrew for an informal con- ference, which was supplemented by a formal session this morning to decide the governments course in view of the certain rejection of the bill.
 The socialists demand for disso- lution of the reichstag meets with no favor in parliamentary circles, nor does it seem likely that Presi- dent Non Hindenburg will take such action. Resignation of the cabinet is also considered unlikely, as the political situation is such that no other coalition seems available at present.
