 Sensation
 Commuters opened their papers last April 27 to discover a sen- sation in their midst. The half burned body of a girl had been found under small fir tree beside a Scarsdale road.
 Presently, from small piece Of dress which flames had not con- sumed, the body was identified as that of Mrs Dorothy Peacox, 20- year-old bride of year.
 Her husband, radio repair man at Mt. Vernon, was arrested as a witness, and three days later, off, cials announced, he had admitted the crime.
 His story, as they announced .t, was this:
 Police Story

 The young wife, returning to the apartment, remarked: Well, it's the same old dump" That angered him, Peacox said, and they grap- pied. He struck her with gun, and she knocked the weapon from his hand. He seized her neck and mouth

THE decision of a number of dis
tinguished Americans to recon-
mend Secretary of State Frank
Il B. Kellogg for the Nobel Peace
Prize on the eve of his retire
ment directs attention to Mr.. Kellogg S
record in office, which, aside from his
negotiation of the more recent and bet
ter known treaty for the remuneration
of war, represents diplomatic achieve
ment equaled by few American Secre-
taries of State.
Situations inherited" in many parts
of the world by Mr.. kellogg when he
was elevated from the post of Ambas-
sador TO the Court of st. James to be
President Coolidge's leading cabinet
member in February, 1925, were diff
cult ones for this Government and re-
quired delicate diplomacy.
Mr.. Kellogg "bequeaths" to his sue
cessor at the State Department better
relations with Mexico than have ex-
listed at any time since Porfirio Diaz. an
impending settlement by his efforts of
the ancient dispute between Chile and
Peru over Tacna and africa, a tran
quilted Nicaragua, with both Liberals
and Conservatives requesting the pres
ence of American Marines for the pres
emit; a Nationalist China, which he has
assisted with treaties and recognition,
as against junction with other powers
seeking punitive expeditions: a new
relationship with Europe, which has
placed the American point Of view on
record before the world with relation
to arms limitation and cooperation or
economic matters.

SECRETARY OF STATE KELLOGG.

Aside from the anti-war treaty, he
has signed Cancellation treaties with all
Latin American nations except Argen-
tina and Is other powers.
Chinese Crisis Recalled.
Perhaps the greatest test of the KEEL
logg diplomacy as 1t is known to stu
dents of international affairs came on
May 80, 1925, three months after he
took Office. On that day, during a
strike in a japanese cotton mill at
Shanghai, man was killed Chinese
students began demonstrations and
proclaimed boycott on Japanese goods.
Down the Marking road at Shanghai
came the procession of young Chinese.
A clash with the police ensued and
police fired and number of students
were killed.
Here started one of the most danger
Gus agitations in China against for
eigners In many years. In June at
Canton, where the Nationalist govern
ment was seated after the death of Sun
Yet-sen, another demonstration grew
into march on the foreign conces-
sions. The foreigners erected sandbag
barricades and general exchange of
shots was fired with Chinese casualties.
The situation was bad. with the for
eign concessions in a state of siege.

ments were aroused Troop ships be-

At that time all the other powers
we're urging the United States to join

Secretary Kellogg stood out against the
powers. insisting that a policy of re-

good purpose. 1t was the Secretary Of
State of the United States alone who
prevented occurrences in China at that
time which might have divided China
and created grave international COM
plications. Hc'won his fight. The Ma
tionalists captured Picking. The last
opposition to Nationalist rule disap-
peared in China.
The sequel to this Kellog diplomacy
came in July last year. Mr.. Kellogg
at that time directed the American
Minister at Peking to seek the first
opportunity to negotiate a tariff auton-
omy treaty with Nationalist China
That was accomplished on July 25 and
the United States was the first nation
to recognize the Nationalist govern
ment and to negotiate treaty with it.
A British treaty followed in December,
then came Nationalist treaties with
Spain, Germany, Norway. Belgium,

Rabbit Runs at Pace

A. rabbit can run at approximately

cussed by hunters, was determined re-
Gently by Ira NJ Gabrielson of the
Biological Survey. Having been inform
ed by stage driver. he describes his
own experience in which a rabbit ran
ahead of his car, as follows: Suddenly
we remembered the stage drivers re-
mark OF the night before and increased
our speed gradually to 35 miles an hour
before we were holding our own.
"On went the rabbit for perhaps half
a mile, with us slowly closing up on
him by running little over 35. Sew
eral times we brought the car to IS
and each time our speeding friend held
his own" This speed is about the same
as that of the best running horses, and
about miles an hour better than
the best PAGERS. A man can run over
short distances, a hundred yards or less,
at about 20 miles an hour.

of cheaper transportation and better

Equalization Fee Dead.
Beyond question, the much discussed
and twice voted equalization fee is dead
beyond recall But 1t is still quite
probable that there will be established

OF all our foreign trade customers,
only England is in less robust economic
condition today than year ago; and
even England promises, according to
the Department of Agriculture, to be as
good customer for foodstuffs this year
as last. The farmer faces. therefore,
not only the prospects of lower produc-
ton costs In general, but the stimuli

mand for his product the world over.
Europe Stabilizes Currency.
Indeed, some observers regard the
general economic improvement abroad

China. Foreign nationals throughout
China were ordered out of the interior
to points where they might be pro-
tected.
Recognition Proposed.
In the face of such a situation in
China Secretary Kellogg communicated
with the powers that had been repre-
sented In the Washington conference
of 1929 to ascertain whether they
were ready to carry out promises made
to China at that time relative to tariff
autonomy and recognition Foreign
troops had arrived in China in suff1-
Gent number to protect their nation
ais. Mr.. Kellogg sought international
agreement to give tariff autonomy to
Nationalist China. He had all but sue
ceeded when the Nationalist govern
ment disappeared. China remained in
chaos.
In the Fall of 1926 the Nationalist
drove on Picking. On January /. 1927,
they seized Hankow and with it the
British concession. In January Mr.
kellogg took matters into his own
hands in a courageous declaration of
American policy toward China regard

toriality.
