GERMAN CONSUL AT HONOLULU
AIDED COMMANDER IN BURNING
THE INTERNED CRUISER GEIR
HONOLULU—(By Mail.) — When
the crew of the interned German
cruiser Geier set tire to their vessel
here Sunday in an attempt to destroy
her, George Rodiek, the German con
sul in Honolulu, stood on her deck and
warned the commander of a naval tug
j coming to the rescue that if he or any
i of his men came aboard it would be
I “a hostile act."
This warning was sufficient to keep
the tug away. Although the flames
! were discovered by the pubLj and
government authorities at 9 a. m.,
Rodiek and Captain Grasshof, com
manding the cruiser, did not surrend
er the Geier until 1:30 p. m. Engines
of the city tire department stood idle
| on Pier 7 until just before the captain
i surrendered his ship.
Burns Ten Hours
At the time the flames were spread
ing so rapidly that the crew was
forced to leave the vessel. The tire
men did not succeed in subduing the
blaze until o p. m., after it had been
burning nearly ten hours.
Investigation by U. S. officials ot
the disabling of eight German mer
chantmen interned here indicates that
the damage to the ships will total
$500,000. Preparations were under
| way to sink the Hommern, largest of
the refugee ships, at her berth by
opening the sea cocks when deputy U.
! S. marshals rushed aboard and put
the Germans under arrest.
It was declared the work of dis
abling the Teuton craft began Jan. 31,
ami had been in progress four days
before the officials received orders
from Washington permitting them to
! take the crews off. For several days
prior to this action it had been widely
reported that all the ships had fires
in their boilers.
When the vessels were boarded,
however, it was found the fires had
been built under empty boilers, thus
i ruining them beyond repair.

Immediately after the discovery or
; the fire on the Geier orders were sent

k
to every fort on the island of Oahu to
rush reinforcements to the water
front. A good deal of excitement
prevailed when several companies ol
troops hurried into the city from Fort
Shafter. The first infantry, by forced
marching covered the distance from
Fort Schofield, 30 miles, before even
! ing.
! Before the troops arrived the U. S.
i naval tug Navajo hurried over to the
I Geier prepared to attach a line and
1 tow her into midstream.
Consul Shouts
It was when Boatswain Percey of
the Navajo brought his vessel up that
German Consul Rodiek shouted a
warning against any attempt to board
the Geier. Percy drew away.
Meanwilc military authorities had
seized all telephones along the water
front and had stationed guards on the
wharves, who forbade civilians to ap
proach. But the excitement quickly
subsided when, after an hour’s parley
with Commander Hart of the U. S.
submarine flotilla, Captain Grassof o!
the Geier and his men left their ship.

An I’nhappy Inference
A student assistant, engaged * in j
reading the shelves at the public li-1
brary, was accosted by a primly dress
ed middle-aged woman who said she
had finished reading the last of Laura
Jean Libby’s writings, and that she
should like something just as good.
The young assistant, unable for
the moment to think of Laura Jean
Libby’s equal, hastily scanned the
shelf on which she was working and,
choosing a book, offered it to the ap
plicant, saying, “Perhaps you would
like this, ‘A Kentucky Cardinal.’
“No,” was the reply, “I don’t care
for theological works.”
“But,” explained the kindly assist
ant, with needless enthusiasm, “this
cardinal was a bird!”
“That would not recommend him to
me,” said the woman, as she moved
away in search of a librarian who
should be a better judge of character
as well as of Laura Jean Libby’s
peers.—Harper’s.

NATIVE WOMAN
KILLED IN CABIN;
SUSPECT MINER
DOUGLAS.—Maggie Mitchell a
young native woman about 20 years
of age was shot and instantly killed
on the evening of Feb. 16.
When the officials arrived on the
scene, the woman lay in a pool of
blood at the side of the bed in a lit
tle two room cabin which had been oc
cupied by Marina Albertina, an Aus
trian who has been in the employ of
the Treadwell company. A 38 calibre
Smith & Wesson revolver was found
near the door of the front room, and
upon examination it was found that
one bullet had entered the right side
of the abdomen, and the one causing
instant death had entered at the top
of the head on the right side and
ranged downward through the brain,
lodging in the lower left jaw.
At the coroner’s/inquest held late
last night, testimony was brought
out that a young Austrian by the
name of Marina Albertina, had met
the girl about five o’clock near the
store of Mike George, and invited her
to his cabin, telling her that he had
some beer there for her. Soon after
the natives and neighbors heard three
distinct shots and saw the Austrian
leave the cabin and go toward town.
