D. C. Stern warning that continuance of American dtplo mafic and consular officers In Persia will depend upon action taken by the Persian government to protect ade quately the American nattouals in thai country has been served on the Per sian foreign minister, by Minister Joseph S. Korufeld at Teheran. The note made public Monday at the state department was dellveied Sal urday and deals only with the mm- tier by a mob In Teheran of Vlce- t'onsul Robert W. Imbrie. It was sent before word was received of the sub sequent attack by "hoodlums" on thi consul's widow. Mrs Katheriue G. Im brie. A further communication in con notion with that attack was sent immediately by the state department to Minister Kornfeld, instructing him to make certain representations orally to the foreign minister. It is under stood nothing will be made public her with reference to this statement, how ever, because of its oral character. In connection with the murder of Consul Imbrie. the state department pointed out to the Persian govern ment that the facts disclosed by its investigation "do not indicate that the police or military authorities made any adequate effort to protect the Amer ican consular representatives." "There appears in fact," the note continues, "to be evidence which it is believed the Persian government will itself desire t investigate most vigorously that certain military ele ments participated in the assault." Preliminary official reports regard ing the later attack on Mrs. Imbrie by 'several hoodlums" .also showed a failure on the part of the Persian police to afford protection. A police official was reported to have stood idly by within lo feet of the point where Mrs. Imbrie was subjected to Insult. In outlining steps which it be lieves the Persian government should take in connection with the murder of Consul Imbrie. the state depart ment notes that the Teheran authori ties on their own initiative already have declared their purpose of making redress to the widow of the slain of ficial. That redress should extend, the note declared, to the payment of costs for the sending of an American war ship to bring home the body and also the establishment of a military guard of honor over the casket containing the body and the "rendering of appro priate honors at the time of leaving Persian soil."

Reports that corn growth had fail ed to make the progress it should have achieved In the last week start ed a rush of buying in the corn mar ket and with hog arrivals scarce at the stockyards here, the upward swing of all farm produce markets, excepting wheat, became an extraordinary force. Predictions that certain definite high figures for corn, wheat and oats would be realized "were ascribed to James A. Patten, who at times has be-n a big trader in grain, but Mr. Patten declined to verify such reports. The fact that he had been active of late In the oats market, however, made that grain especially sensitive to the reports in question.
