j. 5. WARSHIP
Will CARRY CASH
TO PAY FOR HEMP
Extraordinary Action Deem
ed Necessary in Order to
Protect Wheat Farmers.

Washington, March 23.-By ar
rangement with the state and navy
departments a warship will take i'm
from Galveston about
$3.50, 900, the property of cordage
ProgresO, Yucatan, to expedite the
purchase and shipment OF hemp to
the United States.
The arrangement was competed
this evening between Secretary Dan
iels and Edward c. Ieid>ichs, .Jr., of
the Peoria Cordage company Of
Peoria, Ill.,
1t had been suggested earlier in
the day that navy or army transports
might be utilized 10 bring the raw
product, but the plan was not ADOPT
ed.
Secretary Bryan and other officials
said today that extraordinary action
had become necessary because of the
great demand for hemp in the United
States especially for Irvine to be
used in the harvesting of the wheat
crop. Mr.. Bryan said that scarcely
more than three weeks remain to get
large quantities OF the hemp into the
United States.
The hemp crop is in danger of de-
struction from irresponsible persons
in Yucatan during the present revo-
luton. A large number of bales have
been burned at Merida. The news to
the state department today, however,
is that CarranZa now has the situa-
ton under control and that all that
is necessary is to get the money for
the purchase of the hemp to the SELL
ing wharves in Progreso.
The money will be paid to the
planters or their agents. Out of this
the Carranza agents will take the ex
port tax and let the commerce go on
About s3O,000,000 worth of hemp is
manufactured annually in the United
States for home consumption. About
per cent goes to Great Britain and
about per cent to South America.
