STERN NOTE SENT PERSIA!
U. S, Warning Outlines Imbrie Case
Course Reparation Asked.
Washington. 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."
CORN PRICE HITS

Chicago. - Corn, hogs, oata, rye and
provisions left wheat lagging Monday

and rye surpassed any prices hereto
fore paid In 1924 and the provision
market equaled the feat.
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
