With Currency As Material Is
.
Needed In America.
WASHINGTON, March 24.—It Is
announced that an American warship
will take $625,000 in currency from
Galveston, Tex., to the Mexican prov
ince of Yucatan to aid in moving
the hemp crop of that district. Gen
eral Carranza’s forces are reported to
have started the destruction of great
stores of the hemp because it was
being prepared; for shipment to
America.
The warship will go to Progresso,
the principal port in Yucatan, and
the money will be paid from the ves
sel for fear of confiscation by Car
ranza’s forces. Dealers in hemp in
America state that a grave short
age will exist in material for the
manufacture of binder twine to har
vest the crops in America if the
| hemp of Yucatan is destroyed.

ITALIANS WANT
CONSUL AT JUNEAU
Believe That Fellow Countryman Sup'
posed To Have 8uicided Was
Murdered In Juneau.
JUNEAU, March 24.—The Italian
•residents of Juneau, Douglas and sur
rounding districts, have petitioned
Governor Strong to assist them in
getting an Italian consul appointed
for Juneau. There are nearly 200
Italian residents in Juneau and Doug
las, and they feel that their mother
country should appoint a consul to
look after their interests. Many of
them are unable to understand Eng
lish and have difficulty in transacting
business.
It is hinted by Italians that John
Salima, a countryman, who was re
cently found dead and, according to
•the coroner’s jury, had committed sui
cide, may have been foully dealt with.
Two Italians are leaving on the next
J>oat to take up the matter with Sa
lima’s relatives to learn if possible if
he had any enemies who would de
sire his death.
