NEW YORK, April 1S.-The Jap anese government suspects 'one or two American missionaries of a con- nection with the present uprising in Korea" but has followed the most considerate method of dealing with the matter and has not arrested them,'' according to an official cable message from Tokio, made public to- day by Chonosuke Yada, Japanese consul general in New York.
 The cablegram denied reports that at Pinkyang "a Japanese soldier struck an American lady missionary with the butt end of his gun Or that at Noburu-Kawa 'Our soldiers search ed the home of an American mission ary and forced their way into the bedroom of his wife" Thorough in vestigation of the Pingyang incident, the message showed the report orig mated from the action of a Japanese soldier trying to force back the pas sage of a crowd with his gun held horizontally"

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Julius F. Barnes, president of the Federal Grain corporation, has been appoint ed wheat director of the United States by President Wilson it was announced tonight at the office of the food ad- ministration in this city
 Mir. Barnes will direct the handling of the entire 1919 wheat crop and will administer the S1,O00,000,000 fund ap- propriated by congress to take care of the crop under the government guarantee price. He was selected TOT the place, it was announced, upon recommendation of Herbert Hoover

Barnes will remain president of the S150,000,000 government grain corporation, which will continue to function as the com mercial agency for carrying out the governments policies and which also acts as the purchasing representative of the American relief administration.
 President Wilson said in his cable to MT. Barnes, requesting him to be- come wheat director:
 "Your responsibility will be directly to myself after MT. Hoover's retire ment as chairman of the grain cor poration on July 1. The experience which you have gained and the sue cess which wou have attained in hand ling the wheat and cereal crops un- der the food administration has been so generally recognized by expressions from the different sections of the country that feel it would be a na- tional loss if we could not have your tion of this most imyportantoinnninn service continued until the compile tion of this most important national undertaking
 T should like to take this occasion to express the high appreciation and gratitude which have for the services performed not only by yourself but by the directors, vice-presidents and other members of the grain corpora tion. The services which these gen. tlemen have given in a time of nation al emergency, the skill and integrity with which they have carried out so difficult an economic undertaking, is one which I am sure the whole of our people must appreciate. I am in hopes that these gentlemen will remain with you in this service and I would be glad if you would convey to each of them my personal gratitude for the ex- intuition of sacrifice and willingness to national service which is so promising to the future welfare of our people,"
 The executives of the grain corpora tion in the 14 zones into which the United States has been. divided for ad- ministrative purposes will hold meeting in New York Wednesday, ar which the personnel of the grain cor poratiOn for the coming year will be determined upon.
