Capt. Peabody was asked IL he at
tributed the developments to enemies in
the department, and IL he thought he
had any. His answer was:
why, I've been the Patsy Bolivar OF
the department all along. It's the. petty
jealousy that exists against anybody

Swami Issues Statement.
District Attorney Swami made the fol-
lowing statement in connection with the
presentation Of Peabodys case to the
Grand Jury:
IT was willing to decide the matter
myself. We went before the Grand Jury
and told them that the stories came
from highly tainted sources and that II
was not fair to the defendant IL they
did not hear his story. I didn't want to
do him a mean or unkind act, but the
stories coming to us were very direct
and circumstantial"
Capt. Peabody was a professional
boxer before Joining the department,
January 8. 1900, and rose rapidly In
1907 he was a lieutenant under Com
missioner Bingham, but was discharged
by the same official for working pr-
vately for Howard Gould in an effort to
obtain evidence to be used In Gould
divorce proceedings against his wife.
Two years later he was reinstated by
Commissioner Baker and was made a
captain by Commissioner Rhinelander
Waldo. He was dismissed again on
July s, 1915, by Commissioner Arthur
Woods, but carried his case to the courts
and was finally reinstated a second time
on January 6, 1917.

OUTLINES WORLD
FOOD SITUATION

LONDON, Oct. s.-"The truth Is:
There is at present cOmplete uncer-
tainty as to the course the worlds
markets will take during the next
twelve months"
That was the gist OF a statement
given, by the Food Ministry IN an
gWer to what one should expect in
that direction.
'If the problem were purely an
economic one" the statement con-
tinued, 1T would be possible TO make
q reasonable forecast. But so long
as the political situation remains Un-
settled there are no firm premises on
which to base conclusions.
The war has stimulated the pro-
duction Of corn (cereals) and meat in
all the great producing countries,
and IL the worlds demands for the
produce OF these countrise were no
greater than before the war, the SUD
plies In sight would be abundant
The worlds effective demand for the
immediate future, however, Is entirely
unknown. 1t 10 possible, though,
under present circumstances extreme
ly difficult, to estimate the worlds
present requirements. But effective
demand Is often very different from
needs.
"It may be remembered that i'm
mediately after the armistlce insis-
tent statements were made as TO the
shortage OF grain supplies then ex-
listing in Germany; but although
Germany has been practically free
to buy during the current year, and
has been assisted by the allies to do
so, she has IN fact taken only a
moderate quantity.
while therefore, on paper Eu-
ropes demands appear very alarm
ing 1t still remains to be seen to
what extent they will become ef-
fective. Not only this problem is
solved and the political and economic
position OF Russia made clear, is IL
possible to make any forecast Of the
and the only safe course Is
10 prepare. as far as possible, for the
worst event.
"It Is evident that there is a risk
during the next twelve months that
the worlds supplies will be less than
the worlds demands, in which case,
of course, world prices will remain
1t high levels"

INFLIGT CRUELTIES
ON men OF KOREA

TOKYO, Oct. s.-Every credible
eyewitness from Korea testihes that
the Koreans are coWed. but still bit
terly hostile TO their Japanese rulers.
The tremendous series Of punish
ments which followed the suppression
Of the independence demonstrations
of last spring have caused Infinitely
greater resentment than the ruthless
severity OF the suppressions them
selves. Nearly 10000 persons have
been imprisoned, and many thousands
hogged with the wooden paddle" a
barbaroUs weapon inherited from old
Korea.
This cruelty, which was largely ex-
ercised on male students, accom-
panied by other cruelties and indigni-
ties offered to women students, has
inhamed the population more than the
massacreB and burning Of villages.
The reason for these bFutalitieB un-
quesionably lies in the military rule,
which has now been abandoned. The
authorities in Tokyo, from the pre-
mier downward, were kept in ignO-
rance Of the troops methods, and are
sincerely shocked by the belated
revelations Of the missionaries.
"Humnne' Governor.
Admiral SalLOs the new governor OF
Korea, Is a laFge-minded man and in
tends to carry out q humane policy
but the best qualified AnglO-Ameri-
can observers in Korea believe that
many long days must elRpse before
the japanese administration will be
rehabilitated in Korean eyes.
With a magnificent gesture, Ad-
miral SaitO, the day after his attempt
ed assassination, issued q proClama-
tiOn TO the Koreans, breathing Glenn
ency and promising immediate ameli-
Oration Of the conditions and eventual
self government.
He calls on the people to speak
freely OF their grievances and ad-
monishes the officials to administer
the spirit rather than the letter Of
the law. He enUnciates the principle
that the success OF colonial admins
tration depends on the self-governlng
qualities OF the people, and therefore
local institutions are being intro
duced.
Admiral saito declares that Japan
does not desire to eradicate Korean
culture, but to cherish II, and prom
ises freedom of speech and educa-
tionaI reforms. In q notable tribute
he clears the missionaries from the
charge Of fomenting discomfort.

ClaTeS GFOnna.

While production Of many neees-
stiles is being cut by Industrial trou-
bles, the American farmer will see
to it that the nations food supply
Is not interfered with, Chairman
Grcnna, of the Senate Agricultural
Committee, declared in an interview
today.
The farmer will make strong ef-
forts to increase the food supply.
Revolution may result II industrial
warfare continues to interfere with
production, Gronna warned.
The natioin's food basket will be
piled as high as the American farmer
can make It, working night and day
II necessary, GrOnna, who Is one cf
the largest farmers in North Da-
kOta, he predicted.
Farmer VIII Never Strike.
THE farmer Is proceeding with
production and he will continue to
DO So" he said. 'The farmer will
never 60 on q strike. With the de-
velOpment OF good roads and motor
truck transportation, he will take
his own goods to market regardless
Of strikes and tis-upS."
Better marketing facilities and di-
rect dealing between farmers and
city consumers Is urged by Gronna
as one way Of reducing the cost Of
living and the resulting unrest.
''Unionism will never spread to the
farmer, although Il Is being attempt
ed in my State" he continued.
Farmers oppose the movement for
shorter working hours. The farmers
production will be maintained, He
viii never stand by and see the peo-
pie staFve.

''The farmer, OF course, tends TO
sympathize with the labOring man
but he does not sympathiEe in any
attempt to stop work to the extent
where Il will endanger production.
Unrest will not get to the farm
ers, for they have always had their
crop failures mixed with good
years"
Gronna said he believed that
farmers IN no part OF the country
are going to reduce their acreage.
Every farmers association ought
TO adopt resolutions and make its
position clear on this question" he
went, on. 'The only real cure for
the high cost Of living Is Increased
