Hawaii Representative of Ship
' ping Board Believes Maui
and Matsonia if Comman
deered Will Be Replaced By
Other Cargo Carriers
Declaring thst be had accomplish
-exactly hat he went to Washington
to do. J. A. Kennedy, president of
the Inter-Island Navigation company,
"and Hawaii representative of the na
tional shipping commission, returnea
to Honolulu this morning. Due to ma
connection with the shipping commis-
aion the inter-laland president did not
feel free to Uctjs8 in detail the OD
iert af hlu triD to Washington, but sd-
miitd that he had ma-de satisfac
tory arrangements for the future to
, assure the shipment of coal here for
the use of the inter-island fleet.
He was reluctant also to talk of
" the call to Washington of George
jltolpb, manager of the California Ha
waiian Sugar Refinery company, by
. 'Herbert Hoover, the national food di
rector, although admitting he waa fa
miliar with its purpose. The state
ment waa volunteered that, in Mr
Rolph, Hawaii would hate a man in
.Washington in close touch with f!a
" wail needs,
. - N Doris Due In Today.
. President Kennedy was just as ad
'Terse to announce the cost of the
new inter-island steamer Dorist con
lining himself to the comment that
- It tost $200,000 more than it should
hare. He 'said he expected the new
Winter-island vessel to arrive here this
- afternoon. The torsge would have
teen completed sooner It It had not
' been tor a heavy storm along the Cal
t ifornla coast the first two days after
the Doris left Ban Francisco.
- Stanley Kennedy, who left here two
veeks aeo with the intention Of try
mr to tret Into the officers' trains
'lnr camp at the Presidio, met hlsJ
father In Ban Francisco. His father
says that Stanley's Intentions are now
' undecided, as he found It almost Im
. possible to set into the training camp.
Young Kennedy was - contemplating
:a trip East when Ms father left the
i coast. . '
Skeptical of Rate Cut
President Kennedy was plainly skep
tical of the announcement that the
- government is w6rking on si piss to
commandeer all shipping with the pur
k pose of reducing ,: present freight
"charges. He does not 'believe It Is
: practical as he says that the com
petition of neutral shipping would otf-
cet any gam from the plan.
He believes the Maul and Matsonia
wm be taken over by the govern
ment as soon as they are needed and
that they win be replaced with other
cargo carriers' not so ellssuttfiditot

and then think as he chooses,' said
District Attorney S. C. Huber, when
shown the clipping from the Sa&
Francisco paper.
Attorney Huber declares he has had
absolutely no information from the
mainland to the effect that Mr.
Rodlek, or aay other resident or for
mer resident of Honolulu, has beex.
indicted is connection with the Hindu
Plot.
"Mr. Rodlek nor any other Honolu
lan is involved in any testimony
we have obtained, says Mr. Huber.
"The matter we had under InTestlga
tion here pertained to matters In In
dia, but which were hatched up m the
United 8tates.
"Our evidence involved no one In
the territory. The information we
received was from people residing lu
the territory, but who had secured
their information on the mainland.
It Involved no local activities, and the
information did not come from per
sons ! would class -as prominent. All
I can say is that I have received abso
lutely no Information."
Attorney Huber scouts the report
that Kodlfk was summoned to the
mainland by the U. S. on the ground
that his office has heard nothing con
cerning it
"It he had been sent for," he says,
"the marshal undoubtedly would have
been Informed to that effect"
Marshal J. J. 8 middy this morning
declined (o talk on the matter. lie
said he was not in a position to make
any statement
Attorney Huber has already made
public the fact that Prior to the re
turn of the indictments in San Fran
cisco, he furnished the San Francisco
district attorney v with considerable
information regarding the movements
of Hindus. .
Over the telephone this morning
J. F. C. Hagens, vice president and
auditor of U. Hackfeld St Co Ltd
and president of the Chamber
of Commerce
of Honolulu, said,
of the Information
Wben Informed
contained In the San Francisco news
paper, that he did not think there
was. any other Rodlek, although his
attention was called to the fact that
the name in the San Francisco paper
was "Roedlek." .
"I know nothing about it," said Mr.
Hagens, "but I do not believe that
Mr. Rodlek had anything to do with
the alleged plot I also believe that
the report that Mr. Rodlek was sum
moned to San Francisco Is untrue."
: Upon reliable authority today it
was learned that Schroeder Is a re
servist of the German army. When
Consul Rodlek gave up that office in
February, Schroeder, who was his
private secretary, became consul for
a time, later being succeeded by S
nor Luis OIL who now has charge Ot
the German consulate.
Accusation Set Fortfty '
Thi' cotufracy, according to the
indictment - started In . San Francisco
on Aug.: 1, 1914, when the co-conspira.
tors held a meeting with . Dhfrendra
)
i ; Noa W. AlulL chairman ot the ctI1
service commission, has no intention
of dropping his proposition of aiding
deserving members ot the civil service
by lending - them money, but Is still
working on the plan and will call an
other special meeting shortly to d la
cuss the matter, with the other mem
bers of the commission and Interested
persons.'-jv? -r U - - ' .
At the meeting held several weeks
ago when Alull presented the; plan to
the commission and Sheriff C H.
Rose and Fire Chief CVH. Thurston,
the idea was coldly - received. This,
however has not dampened his ardor
and he still intends to see it through.
"Of course the money would not be
lent Indiscriminately, but only whea
It is found that a man Is deserving
after a : thorough investigation 'said
AlulL ' ?No man can : do his work
properly if he Is worried over money
matters, ; and If the commission can
help a man , who has ahown himself
to be worthy it- Is only right that it
ahould.- .-
An Interesting comparison of what
It cost to run the city out of the gen
eral fend two years - ago and now is
given in figures obtained from the
a. y and" county auditor - today.
Inning, the first six months of 131S
the average monthly pay rolls and
expenses amounted to $53,500, while
dniing the first six months of 117
tt amounted to $67,250, or an increase
ot $13,750 in two years. For m. year
this increase is $165,000.
A part of the appropriations out cf
the general fund of Che city and coun
ty .Is set by the legislature, and in
clude the pay of . the mayor, super
visors, county clerk and other- coun
ty elective officers, deputy sheriffs,
district magistrates and employes of
the circuit and police courts. Previous
to th 1915 legislature these appro
priations amounted to $3139 a month;
The 1915 legislature. raised the total
to $5965 and the , 1917 legislature to
$7055, or more than doubla in two
years. The increases occtrrea pnn
ciiallyin the police and circuit courts.
FOUR PIECES OF REAL '

Among the recent real estate, trans

PLOT CONSPIRACY
Nath Sarkar and Harama Lai Gupta
to prepare for a soiliUry expedition
which would carry into India from
the United States to overthrow Brit
ish rule there.
The object of the enterprise, it
alleged, was to Incite mutiny and
armed rebellion in India; to destroy
the government and to hinder and
obstruct military' operations and to
assist Germany in the war.
it was agreed, the indictment says
to secure men in the United States
give them) military training and
to furnish Them with arms, ammunl
tion and supplies, the greater portion
of the money being supplied by the
German government in carrying out
the plans.
The conspirators themselves, it
said In the bilL agreed to go to India
and to send from the United States
seditious literature intended to incit
rebellion. The purchase of ships with
German money to transport ammunl
tion was also a part of the scheme.
While the Hindus were striving
for the freedom of their land, Ger
many was urging the conspiracy to
draw men from Jhe theater of the
war and force England to maintain
larger armed forces in India, it Is al
leged.
On August 20 Ram Chandra, Bhag
wan S(ngh. who have surrendered to
the United States marshal in San
Francisco, and who are In prison ua
able to furnish the kZo.ooo ball re
quired, and Mobsmen Barkatotulab
caused Jewalla Singh, Keshar Singh
and Jogat Ram to sail on the Korea
bound for India.
Ram Chandra's Part
In February, 1915, Ram Chandra,
says the true bill, sent Rikhi Kesh,
alias Zesudin. Amin Chand Sharma,
Shlb Dev Singh, Kedernath and Kar
ter Ram from San Francisco to Ger
many, and in May, 1915, Jodha Singh,
another defendant ssidel from there
on the Tenyo Maru for Manila.
John F. Craig In March of 1915, as
a part of the conspiracy, it is alleged,
purchased the Maverick from the
Standard Oil Co. and a month later
Hari Singh, Chambir Singh, Mangu
Ram, Har Charan Das and Hamarm
Chand were sent from San Francisco
to Los Angeles to meet the German
agents there. Haramba Lai Gupta,
another conspirator, was sent on the
Mongolia to Japan in August 1915.
J. Clyde Hlxar, the government al
leges, Is connected with the plot in
having J. H. Rinder charter the An
nie Larsen from Olsen tc Mahony.
A telegram sent by Joseph" L. Bley
of 8an Francisco to Cspt H. C. Nel
son of the Maverick Just prior to Its
sailing en route to Batavla loaded
with ammunition for the rebellion, the
allegation says, shows his part in the
case.
Fred Jehsen's departure from San
Francisco In March, 1915, was to as
sist the Hindu plot the indictment
sets forth., and money transmitted by
Ram Chandra, to N. Chat ter Ji at Ma

Two years In Oahu prison and -f
a fine of 9100 was the penalty
Imposed by Circuit Judge Heen
today on S. M. Smith, who plead-
ed guilty to three charges of
passing forged writing. Smith
at first asked to have his plea
reserved, but a few moments -f
later pleaded guilty.
According to the three Indict-
ments returned by the terrltor-
la! grand jury, yesterday after-
noon. Smith forged the signature
of Theodore Baumann to three
checks for $17.50, . JL2.25 and
$1150, respectively, and cashed
4- them at the bank of Bishop &
4- Co. In the Tlrst case he was
sentenced to two years and pay

U. S. TAKES OVER
raw. BOATS
News that the American-Hawaiian
freighters Dakotan and Montanan
have been commandeered by the gov
ernment for use In carrying cargoes
of munitions and supplies for the
American troops in France reached
Honolulu today, and was confirmed
by General Agent C. P. Morse of the
steamship line's local office.
Both steamers were taken over by
the government while they were in
New York. The Dakotan is reported
to have been ready to sail for South
American ports with a general cargo,
when the government took her over.
ordering the steamship company to
unload her cargo and put it back on
the wharf. Both freighters were In
the South American trade, and Morse
says they have now gone to French
ports in the service of the United
States. The two freighters are of
9000 tons each, and have both called
here before, although not in the last
year or more.
Whether this means similar .action
may soon be taken by the government
as regards the Matson fleet Is a mat
ter of conjecture today. E. D. Ten
ney, president or Castle ft Cooke, the
local agency, received another letter
this morning from Captain Matson, but
it threw no further light. on the sit
uation. The captain still thinks the
Maul and Matsonia will be comman
deered, but has no idea when.
