ans to torture have reached the gov
ernor general of Korea and Director
Akaike of the police bureau has issued
an order to the provincial governors to
put stop to it. The director an
nouneed that it was with great regret
that he heard, now and then, a eriti-
cism that 'even of late, policemen often
fail to behave properly toward the
people" Referring to reports that the
people are apt to think the police and
torture are inseparable the idea of the
one being inevitably associated with
that Of the other" he pointed ont
that even II torture were practised only
in few eases It naturally diseredited
the whole system of the police. He
added:
As you know very well. in modern
courts, judges rely on evidence rather
than ON the confession Of offenders. and
therefore torture has no place in our
police system. | trust that in acting
against any offenders you will do yonr
best TO collect evidence but never at
tempt to extort confession from them
by the brutal means of torture

vention parleys.
1t is understood former Senator
Crane of Massachusetts, leader Of
the mild reservation group, first sug-
gested compromise on the Root plank
after he had been in cable consultation
with its author
Discounting the possibilities of a
blow up in the full resolution commit
tee or on the convention floor, those
on both sides of the treaty fight as
serted that in their opinion another
great party crisis which had threat
ened for a time repetition of the dis
astrous division of 1912 had been
avoided.
After the agreement, Senator Borah
said the unanimous compromise would
be submitted to the full committee
within an hour with every prospect of
approval and that it was planned TO
present the complete platform to the
convention at 4 o'clock.
The compromise plank was described
by Senator Borah as establishing these
three principles for which the irrecon-
cilables had contended:
Omission of any pledge for ratifi
cation.
Commentator of the Senate for re-
fusing to ratify.
A statement that any future league
must be in accord with American ideals
and the principles of Washington.
Senator Borah said that as the
treaty plank had been approved by Mr.,
Mills he presumed it was also accept
able 10 former Senator Crane.
