True, one farmer escorted the investi-
gator out Of his granary with neck
yoke, and paid 500 in court for the
satisfaction, but it was worth the price
Most citizens, however, met him with
due humility.
HE vas de kaiser, and We say nod
ings,'' commented one man.
Grimes Has New Auto
Grimes, lieutenant of the investi-
gator, rides around in an automobile,
obtained in trade in which checks
made out by farmers for expense Of
the Food administration, were turned
in as part consideration for new car
the food investigators bought!
Elevator men were advised not to
pay out any cash for wheat delivered
at that time, but to give the farmers
receipts to be taken to WYE for con-
sideration. WYE then designated the
disposition Of the proceeds. Original
owners of the wheat were given the
alternative Of donating to the Red
Cross a sum determined by Vye,-
usually consisting Of the major por-
ton of the wheat sale proceeds or
taking the case direct to Administrator
Wilson. In most instances the farmers
chose the immediate penalty. Then,
they assert, wye demanded that they
paw for certain expenses entailed by
him, and, frequently, that they purchase
War Savings Stamps, subscribe Tor
Liberty bonds, and join the county
farm bureau.
Soon after wye was sent to Sleepy
Eye last July, the system OF forcing
every alleged hoarder to join the Brown
county farm bureau and pay a fee
of S. came to the notice OF the food
administration, and caused Mr.. Wilson
to consider withdrawing WYE from the
work, he declared.
Father Praises Sons Work
| At that time he sent j A. WYE, father
of Vidian, to investigate the work OF
Ibis son. The elder Mr.. Wye, who is
ran assistant to the food administrator
returned with such a glowing report
of the value of Vidian's methods that
all thought of recalling him was dis
sipated, said Mr.. Wilson.
In regard to Vye'saction in arbitrarily
filming farmers to pay for expenses,
Mr.. Wilson asserted it was done without
his knowledge or consent, and that
there was no reason for it. All legit-
innate expenses Of food administration
agents are paid by the government.
he declared.
He did not know until three or four
weeks ago that WYE had collected money
in this manner, he asserted. Upon
learning of it, he began an investl-
cation. wye had not drawn upon the
government for duplicate expenses
covered by his levies on the. farmers, he
said.
Used Farm Bureau Name. H
Checks were made out payable o5the
farm bureau. But Berkner refused to
indorse these checks.
Then wye and Grimes arranged the
matter by having the farmers checks
made out to Grimes and Wiedenmann.
When Wiedenmann discovered what
was. being done and ended the partner
ship, the checks were made out to
Grimes. At least that is the way
Grimes said he drew expense money
for the car after the dissolution Of the
partnership.
Bureau Checks Were Endorsed.

farmers in connection with the settle

M EXlCO WILL
ARREST JENKINS
Formal Orders Issued Charg-
ing False Declaration
and Threats.

{ Mexico City. Nov. ia formal or
der for the Imprisonment of William
o. Jenkins. of Shelbyville, Tenn,
United States consular agent at Pu-
ebla, on charges of having made false
declarations and threats against
poems in case they testified they saw
him at his hacienda in company with
Federico Cordova, the bandit chief
tain, was issued today by Criminal
Judge Gonzales Franco, at Puebla,
according to advices received from
that city. Jenkins, however, is not
yet in Jail and in a. statement to the
press, asserts 1t is untrue that he is
not allowed to leave the city. The
exact legal status of the jenkins af-
fair is obscure, as apparently he is
under arrest, but Is free in the city
of Puebla without bail.
The next move in the case evil
IDENTIFY devolves upon the officials
here, as jenkins has given his word
he will be present in court when
needed. Assertion is made at the for
eign office here that no formal note
has been received from the United
States demanding the release of Jen-
Jenkins, although it is know that rep
reservations had been made to the
Mexican government regarding his
"molestation." Charges against Jen-
kins thus far seem to be based on
testimony of poems who allege they
saw him in company with Cordova
but newspapers publish stories to the
effect that there was coercion or
both sides, which will probably be
developed if Jenkins succeeds in Sc
curing formal trial on allegations
that he conspired with the bandit
chieftain for his own abduction.

The proposals of the operators to

ministrator Garfield told representa-
tives of the bituminous coal operHtors

as the government stands they will
not be prevented from getting 1t by
anything the operators or miners
may do"

pose was to furnish the conference
the data which he would use In de-
termining what wage advances, II
any, agreed to by the operators and
