TOKIO, July 18. Tho rccout sur
loiuler by the Korean officials of the
right of police control in Korea,
coupled with tho general increase of
Japanese garrisons throughout the
hormit kiugdom, is expected to re
sult in complete subjugation of tho
littlo nation.
liesideut General Viscount Tornu
chi has completed nrraugenients for
the installation of a police bureau
at Seoul and already Japanese
agents aro active. Although dis
patches from Seoul are strictly cen
sored, it was learned hero today that
tho apparent readiness with which
police control was surrendered by tho
Koreans really was cloaked in much
bitterness nnd it is reported that the
Koreans cherish vacuo hopes that the
United States will intervene in behalf
of Korea following an understanding
with Japan.

sweetheart's love for sweets and
pleasure led Lester Stevenson, 19
years old, to grief today, when he
admitted to Police Justice Harris
that he stole a sum of money from
his boarding mistress, Mrs. Sarah
Reed.
"I didn't want to be cheap, and I
spent more money than I could af
ford and then had to steal," declar
ed tho youthful prisoner. He ex
plained tho "fellow" his sweetheart
had before him used to spend about
0 a week on her.
Stevenson assorted that he en-'
dcavored to be even more generou
and he admitted that his income was
only $8 a week. The judge's heart
softened nnd he placed the prisoner
on probation with a warning to get
a less costly girl.
