OVER TO GRAND
JURY; BOrJD SET
Reason to Believe Foreign
Government Communicated
With, Finds Curry
I have reasonable cause to believe
the defendant euilty of the second,
third and fourth charges in the com
plaint, and so hold.'
With these words 1'. S Commission
er GeorKp S. Curry yesterday after
noon brought to a close the prelimi
nary hearing of Honolulu's first "spy
case' and ordereu George Roenitz,
former clerk to the commandant of
the Pearl Harbor naval station, bound
oser to the federal grand jury for
further Investigation
One of the three charges alleges
that the defendant communicated to a
foreign government information re
latin? to the national defense of the
I'nited States, although Attorney E.
C. Peters counsel for Roenitz, has con
tended throughout the hearing that
there has been no evidence tending to
prove this allegation.
Bond Remains at M 5,000
At the close of the hearing. Com
missioner Curry intimated that the
bond of the defendant might be lixed
at $2.j,00o instead of at SM.OoO, the
present figure Attorney Peters
branded the proposed increase as an
absurdity.
"The evidence here discloses that
everybody was doing it," declared
Peters, referring to the taking of pic
tures at the Tearl Harbor naval sta
tion. Curry paid the pictures were only
a part of the case; that there was a
list of the titles of 19 photographs,
written in German, that was also im
1 ortant.
"There are not sufficient facts and
circumstances to warrant a prohibi
tive bail," reported Peters.
Peters wanted the .bail fixed at
510,000. "We carralve $15,000," he
added. -
"If it wasn't for the element of com
munication to a foreign government,"
said Curry, "I would have reason to
believe the amount of the bail too
high as it now stands. But, in the
presence of that element, I do hot
believe $2.,000 is too high." And he
added that the list ot the picture
titles in German had been found In a
locked trunk, according to the evi
dence. U. S. Satisfied With Bond
U. S. Attorney Hubei said that the
government would be satisfied with a
bond of $15,000 and. with this assur
ance, Commissione Curry allowed the
ball to stand at its present figure.
Roenitz has been in Oahu prison
Bince his arrest, following his arrival
here from Manila on a transport,
abofh a month ago, having been un
able to secure sureties on Hs bond.
Shortly after his arrest, Roenitz asser
ted his innocence to the U. S. attor
ney's office and offered to give It
every assistance in clearing up the
case.
The only witness, and the last wit
ness for the defense, called yesterday
afternoon was Pvt. Paul Rhinehart,
Marine Corps, who testified that he
took, developed and printed the four
post card photos of scenes at Pearl
Harbor alleged to have been found In
Roenltz's possession.
He said that he took these picture
about a year and a half ago, and that,
in taking them, he had no authority
whatever to so do. He added that he
did not know at the time that it was
necessary to secure such authority.
There was no commissioned officer
about when he took them, he went on.
adding that he had printed about 75
copies from the plates. He said theBe
prints had been sold to the enlisted
men at the post.
Negatives Destroyed
Bj( the negatives were destroyed
thrpe days after they were taken up
on the order of one of the officers, the
witness testified. He said he had sold
huh- of these particular pictures to
Roeaitz or to any civilian; said he
did not even know the defendant.
Private Rheinhart testified further
that there were eight or ten cameras
at the station, as well as a yard
photographer. He said there were
several persons competing with hint
in the selling of photographs.
'.'Enlisted men and officers both
had cameras and took pictures until
lately," the witness added.
Following the testimony of Rtaeb
hart the defense rested and submitted
the case without argument. The
prosecution also waived argument and
Commissioner Curry ordered the de
fendant bound over to the grand jury
Artists
r Society
First Exhibition Tonight
Without precedent bnt bright with
promise is the first exhibit of the
Hawaiian Society of Artists, which
opens to invited guents tonight at S
o'clock in the Pan Pacific pavilion.
Bishop Square
After tonight the exhibit is opn
to the general public and will remain
so for two weeks. Preceding th
formal opening tonight, a dinner of
the Hawaiian Society of Artists and
and their friends wi!l be given at Iani
akea. beginning at 5 ?' 0 clock.
Out of more than 40 members of ths
society, some 3G or are represented
in the paintings, sculpture and other
objects of art on display in the Pan
Pacific building. Many of the exhibi
tors are now quite unknown to the gen
eral public but it Is predicted that this
display will be the mesns of bringing
them into notice.
Virtually all of the artists whos
work has delighted Honolulu in the
past half-decade aie represented in
the pointings now hung on the walls.
Under the rules of the society, no
artist may show more than six can
vasses. Quite a number have entered
the limit, while others have only one
or two. Ijonel ".Valden, for instance,
has one. the already noted surf-rider
painting which was exhibited at th i
Paris Salon and has won laurels for
its creator.
POWER OF POEM
The new musical setting for "The
Ballad of Reading" Gaol," w hich Frank
Moss and Will Lewers will present
at the Lanai theater a week from Sat
urday night, is proving itself more and
more interestine as rehearsals pro
gress. It is the latest composition of
Mr. Moss, and tlxe great uossiDinties
of the Doem which has been chosen
have been f ullv worked out in the ;
musical accompaniment which he has
arranged for Mr. Lewers' reading.
Parts of the uoem. as everyone
knows, are tragic aad despairing, and
Mr. Moss has brought out the hope
lessness of these moods by the use
of the whole tone scale where they
occur. This scale, which has been
used by Debussy, Cyril Scott and other
modernists in music, gives the feeling
nf relentless fate cwine to its unus-
ual progression by vhole tones instead!
, -a
of the conventional whole and halt
tones combined. Great strength ol
tragic emotion is characterized by
this method, and its use in ' The Bal
lad of Readins Gaol" exDresses to the
full the deeper, more tragic portions
of the poem.
The diatonic scale such as the older
masters of music employed is used in
the haDDier and more hopeful parts
of the ballad with telling effect. The.
combination of the whole tone scale
and the diatonic, composed of whole
and half tones, helps to bring out in
strong contrast the two differing
moods of Oscar Wilde's masterpiece.
A reading of "The Raven," by Edgar
Allan Poe, with musical setting by A.
Bergh, will share honors with the
Wilde poeni. This composition, whicu
is comparatively recent, has already,
won a firm place in the opinions of I
musical critics as the best setting
which has been yet done for "The
Raven." Mr. Lewers brings out in his
interpretation the more spiritual qual
ities of the poem, p, well as its hope
less tragedy and sense of loss, and
Mr. Moss at the piano ably seconds
him.
As a contrast to the two long selec
tions of the evening something in the
way of a lighter and happier number
has been promised as a surprise for
the end of the program. The recital
in the Lanai theater is sure is be a
social event of prominence, and many
parties are already being arranged to
enjoy one of the interesting musical
events of the early summer. Tickets
may be secured from Mr. Moss at
Laniakea.

REMAIN POPULAR
Much enthusiasm in school garden
work is being displayed by pupils on
the other islands, says Henry W. Kin
ney, superintendent of public instruc
tion, who. recently returned to Hono
lulu from a visit t.i the outside dis
tricts. "Genuine interest is being shown,"
says Kinney, "and the pupils are work
ing in their gardens after school, af.
noon, in the mornings and during
recess."
The superintendent edds that the
pupils are going into crops that can
staa Lhe sumzcfr vacation without a
great amount of care, especially beans
end potatoes. Beans, l.e says, is the
popular vegetabl?, although each gar
