Rose Pastor Stokes, speaking at a
mass meeting of 700 held at the Man
haitian Lyceum, So East Fourth Street,
last night, predicted America will be
"Bolshe~ized" in spite of the efforts OF
the authorities to stop il. She declared
that the more the government passes
laws TO suppress radical propaganda
the more the radicals will be driven to
underground methods in spreading
their propaganda.
The meeting was held by the Com
runist party, which Chief Magistrate
McAdoo in a recent decision declared
was "at war with the United States"
Besides Mrs. Stokes, who is at liberty
on bail pending an appeal of her SEN
tence of ten years Imprisonment on
conviction of violating the Espionage
law, two men who spoke are under in
state anti-anarchy law. They were C.
Z. Rutherford and I. f. Ferguson.
The headquarters Of the Lusk Lecja-
1ative Committee last night announced
that arrests of radical agitators are TO
be made throughout the state following

Although debated in the Chamber of

Planters, Many of Whom
Are OH the Verge of
Bankruptcy, Says Dealer
Prices Take Big Jump
Cabrera Reported to Have
Urged Banisllment From
Country of Americans

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-Condtions
in the hemp producing sections o; Yu-
catan, Mexico. resulting from the ac-
tion of Mexican government officials
are alarming, Michael J. Smith, of New
York, hemp merchant. Testfying at a
Kearful, counsel for the Senate sub
committee investigating Mexican af-
fairs. Mr.. Smith said:
"unicss some thing Is done to relieve
'hc situation. it is practically certain
that within few years the farmers OF
the United States will be without bind
er twine for their crops"
Smith said the planters had been
robbed by the Mexican authorities and
were on the verge OF bankruptcy Be
cause of the monopolistic practices en-
crcised by Mexican authorities for tho
purpose of controlling hemp production
and prices. American farmers, Smith
testified, paid an excess Of SIP, ,00O
from 1916 to 1919.
Under regulations brought about by
1ucatan, he said, hemp prices advanced
from 7as cents pound in 1917 to
1875 cents that year and to 1874 cents
IN 1918. This year the price fell to
1914 cents because of accumulated
stocks.
Smith charged that through q
"reguladora" formed TO control the
hemp output, Alvarado had accumu-
lated large sums of money, much of
which had been used to promote anar-
chist;c propaganda in the United
States and South America and to aid
Alvarado in his candidacy for the
Presidency.
Smith also testified that Luis Ca
brera, Minister of Finance in Car
ranza's Cabinet, had said that Amer
leans had exploited Mexico long
enough and should be driven out of

judgment of all concerned, by their
participation in the conferences at
which the same is to be worked out.
"As you know, to prevent further
disintegration and other serious con-
sequences, speedy action is impera
tive"
Commissioner Delaney repeated his
opinion that the present rapid transit
lines, if complete municipal ownership
can be secured, can oe made self
sustaining without imposing any un-
due burden on the travelling public
and without increasing the city debt.
Delaney said that the city could
acquire the lines without paying q
cent from the city treasury, if the
companies would agree to the plan.
Showing how the public pays. an in
creased fare even now. he said:
"Under existing conditions there will
amounts to a siS-cent fare on rapid
transit lines, for the reason that the
city will contribute nearly $4,000, 900
of public funds to pay interest and
sinking fund on the city debt of $780,,
100000 incurred for rapid transit con-
struction. This city contribution aver
ages more than threefourths of a cent
for each of, the 1,11S,215,449 riders
who paid fares during the past year,
and amounts to about IL poi,.ts of the
tax rate"
A meeting of the board of directors
Of the lnterborough was held at 165
Broadway yesterday, but no announce
ment was made in reference to the
financial difficulties facing the corpora
ton.
81 can say that we have not the cash
in hand to-day" President Hedley said
after day Of conferences among bank
ers, stockholders and other interested
parties. His bearing, however, was op-
timistic.
James l.. Quackenbush, the COM
pany's attorney, explained that SO 33OO,-
000 was the least with which the In
terborough could be tided over the first
of the year in addition to S4,000,000
which the company has on hand in
cash. He said that with this minimum
the company would be compelled to
lead hand to- mouth existence for the
next six months and that SIS 100000 was
what they were trying to get.
Asked how much of the $1,000, 900
had been secured or pledged, Mr..
Quackenbush said:
81 can't tell you that, because in
this case it is all or nothing. We
haven't clinched the whole yet, and
because of the absence of interested
stockholders in Florida and other
places we won't be able to tell until
tomorrow. Well keep working. how
ever, until the last available moment
tomorrow night before we admit de-
feat. | can't give an idea of the out
look, because we deal only in facts"
On January 2, 1920, it was pointed
out yesterday, the Interborough must
pay to the owners of the Manhattan
Elevated Railroad Company a quarter
of the annual dividend of s4200,000,
which is per cent on 100000 900 of
stock. If this sum, $1050 900. is not
paid. it was said. the owners of the
elevated system can go into court and
This would leave the Interborough in
possession Of elevated extensions cost
ing millions to build, but which would
be practically worthless as separate
units.
