Mr.. FiXit-There is a very annoy

Groom, representatives Of the de-

DR.. John Lee Coulter, former presi-
dent Of the North Dakota Agricul-

Chicago this week to investigate the

siastic about its possibilities, Groom
said. ..r...
1.-THE machine does the business, -
Groom said on his return here Satur-
day. II put some bundles Of dry
hemp stalks through the machine
and the fibre came out thoroughly

1.-The fibre separator is the inven-
ton of H. w. Bellrose of Ottawa, Ill.
He has been working on it for the
last six years and now has 1t prac-

Tried Out Before
because of the high prices de-
manded for sisal by foreign producers
during the war years, the 1nterna-
tional Harvester company tried out
the production of hemp in the north
west. They found that fine quail
ity of hemp could be produced there,
but under the process now In gen.

work was so slow and costly that the
American producer could not COM

work. .......

il it works out as we believe it will, this
northwestern country will again be
producing hemp in large quantities in
a few years.
"Dr. Coulter is particularly en-
thusiastic about the possibilities Of
adding another important cash crop
to the farm production possibilities
of the northwest.
1T is reported that three to five
tons of hemp an acre were produced
by valley farmers. and Bellrose and
his associates say they expect to be
able to pay about SIS ton for the
hemp
Tests on growing hemp will be
made this year by the state agricul-
tural college. agricultural experiment
stations in the state and by farmers.
One of the separating machines
would take care of the crop from
1000 acres of hemp here this sum-
about 30 tons q day.
The plan of operation would be to
have 1000 acres grown in a compact
area. set up the machine at a Gen.
trail point in that area and haul the
bundles Of dry hemp to the machine
from the farms.
The hemp is cut and then shocked
to dry for about two weeks, after
which it Is ready to 60 to the separat-
ing machine.

A tariff on foreign oil and another

by a coalition which roughly split
both parties In two. The first was
voted in 43 to 81, the second by 80 to

the bill eventually, but no time soon.
AS things stood Saturday the senator

when the fiscal year begins.
The two votes sought Saturday to
complete the bills tariff schedule
were on lumber and copper. The same

to function with equal effect, and at
some point during the debate it was

Abandons Search Of Rogues
Galleries For Mystery
Mission Saturday
LAWYER TALKS TO CURTIS
Washington Police Arrest Man
Who Says Woman Killed
Lindbsrgh Child

Hopewell, N. J., May 2l.-tR-Dr
John F. Condor, the Jafsie Of the
Lindbergh case. sped on a mysterious
mission into New England Saturday
and state police announced that his
examination of New Jersey rogues
galleries had been postponed until
next week.
While DR.. Condor was driving at
high speed through New England and
John H. Curtis, the l1oaxer of the
Lindbergh case. conferred with his
Virginia attorney in the Remington
jail. state police made public an
exoneration Of mysterious Oriental
whose name up to that time had not
appeared in the case in any way.
The Virginia attorney. w. C.. PEN
der, spent two hours with Curtis in
Jail and shortly after he left it was
learned that local counsel also had
been retained.
Washington police arrested a man
who walked into headquarters will,
the statement that he knew the
woman who killed the Lindbergh
baby" The man was sent to hos
pital for mental observation.
Search was intensified for the
mysterious gangster. believed to be
connected with the kidnap case, who
recently said In Maryland before the
babys body had been found, that the
child was dead.
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, SUI
perintendent Of state police. disclosed
Friday that this gangster was being
sought and Saturday he gave him
first mention In his morning bulletin.
The man was said to have lone
been identified with liquor
activities in New Jersey.
He Is said to have informed Arthur
Mills, Identification expert at the
Maryland house of correction that
the body of the kidnapped child would
be found within five miles of the
Lindbergh estate two days before It
actually was discovered.
The possibility that Curtis story of
his astonishing lie may in itself have
been false In part, also received DO
lice attention Saturday.
A portion of the Norfolk shipbuild-
er'S confession that his intermedia-
ton in the Lindbergh baby case was
a hoax already was considered as
disproved. That was the portion in
which Curtis explained his purpose
in the elaborate lie was to get money
by the sale of his story to, newspapers.
Police pointed out the hoax was
three weeks old before Curtis at
tempted to sell his story; and that
even so, he could not hope to find
any buyers unless he recovered the
stolen Charles Augustus Lindbergh,
Jr.-.which he must have known was
impossible, inasmuch as his negotia-
tons were not negotiations at all.
An inquiry was quietly under way
to learn If Curtis may not have had
some other motive, quite removed
from the sale Of his STORY" for in
venting the deception.
It was recalled that due to the
"delicacy' of the negotiations with a
vessel at sea, coast guard craft re-
Trained from their usual careful pa
trolls in some waters, fearful of caus-
ing the collapse Of negotiations for
the baby's ransom.
