PORT OF PROGRESO
REOPENSON ORDER
Mexican Chieftain Abandon! Block
ade of Harbor on Earnest Re
quest from United States.
ACTION IS TAKEN SATURDAY
WASHINGTON, March 15. Gen
eral Carranza has abandoned his
b'otkade of the port of .Progreso on
urgent representations by the United
State.
The Mexican gunboat Zaragos ha3
been called off and two American
fehips laden with sisal for the United
State were cleared Saturday without
interference.
Rear Admiral Caperton, command
ing the American fleet in Mexican
waters, reported the raising of the
blockade in his official dispatches
early today and reported that tha
Zaragosa has returned to Vera Cruz.
The admiral s dispatches telling of re
lief of the situation crossed a new note
from the 1'nlted State, which was sent
on Its way to Carraniia this morning glv
tns notice that the United States was
determined to raise the blockade, and. If
necessary, use the cruiser Des Moines to
do so.
Inures Twine Supply.
Tt became known for the first time to
day that last week the Mexican gunboat
had stopped one American ship with a
hot across its bows, had held up another
and had Interfered with British
shipping. The seriousness of the
situation growing out of the QiTkade of
Progreso was pointed out by Secretary
Hotiaton of the Department of Agrlcul
ture. who advised the president that 200.
000.0(10 pountis or twine are used each
year In .the United States In binding
grain, and flax crops and that nine-tenths
of the supply Is made from sisal grown In
Yucatan and exported through Progreso.
Telegrams from, manufacturers and
farmers In the grain growing stater
pouring Into the White House and
les.4 sisal were obtained through Progreso
the harvesting of this year's grain crops
would bo embarrassed.
Since February 25 the State department
lias steadily protested to Carranza against
closing I'r.'grcRo where there have been
factional - troubles - between Mexicans
nominally under his control. The people
of Yucatan, It vx raid, obtain all their
food from outside sources and were as
anx"iu thai the. embargo be raised as

: President Wl!fo:rs reply to General
tAirranz.i's ncte of March 8 which was, in
I : sihkis,- in the i.i gent representations of
tio Knltcil states for better treatment of
forejiur l;i .Mexico, whs lis follows:
"I thank you for your message of
March S for the reinsurance It conveys
ami for our Kind personal words. I beg
trial you will understand thiit It our mes
sages i.ci'aei umll v are couched in terms
of strong eini'lias's. It Is only because
they contain some matters which touch
the very anfety of Mexico Itself and the
whole process of its future history.
"We. seek always to uct as friends of
tho Mexican people and as their friends
It is our duty to speak very plainly about
the danger which threatens them from
without, whatever happens within their
borders which Is calculated to arouse the
hoRtlle. sentiment of the whole world.
".othlug will stir that sentiment more
promptly or more hotly or create greater
danger for Mexico than any (even tem
porary) disregard for lives, the safety or
tho rights of the citizens of other coun
tries resident within its territory or ap
parent contempt for the rights and safety
if those who represent religion.
"Any attempt to justify or explain these
thingd will not eradicate this sentiment
or lessen the danger that will arise from
them
"To warn you concerning such matters
Is an act of friendship, not of hostility,
and we cannot make the meaning too
tannest. To speak less plainly or with
less earnestness would be to conceal from
you a terrible risk which no lover of
Mexico should care to run."

NO WAY TO TREAT
VICTIMS OF DRUGS
(Continued from Page One.)
lessened portion of dope each day, was
most advisable.
John W. Cochran, 27 years old. who said
he had taken dope one year, and who was
carried into the county jail six weeks ago,
was the first man questioned. He had
gained many pounds in weight im he
had been shut up without any dope, and
declared he had no desire for It now. He
is In excellent physical condition, he said.
Cochran was so sure he would be able
to do without dope that several members
asked the county official) to send him to
the county hospital, which was done.
Cochran declared he was, anxious to (to
to Texas where, he said, his mother lived.
The committee aftera-Aril Imvm
learned from another man that those!
fiends who desired to continue the habit
were planning to go to Juares, Mexico,
In case they were unable to get dope on
account or the new federal law, which
somewhat shock their faith In the pros
pective success of their desire to assist
Cochran.
Kffort. Are 1st Tain.
John Washington, an intelligent, well
educated man, 37 years old. who had been
using dope five years, told of vain efforts
to reform himself.
"I have tried many times to make a
man' of myself," he said. "I have climbed
down a sixty-foot pipe to escape from
the Lincoln sanitarium; I have escaped
from the county hospital and from other
sanitariums. I could not help It,
"Now that I have been without dope
for forty-five days my brain Is clear and
I believe that I can do without it.
"The best way to treat a victim of the
drug habit is to cut it off entirely and
lock him up. If he Is allowed a little each
day It does him no good and keeps the
craving alive."
Barney Kemmerling, 45 years old, a vie
tlra of the drug habit for thirty years,'
according to his statement, exhibited
arms and legs the skin or which was a
fabric of scars left by the "needle." "I'm
a real dope fiend; these others are only
fakes," he said, with a sad smile, for,
he declared, he realised that he was not
a man.
Causes Sarferinar.
Barney declared he did ont believe in
cutting off a dope fiend's entire supply
of ' drugs, insisting that It caused too
much suffering.
Washington's account of dope fiends
and his suggestions concerning him were
considered most reliable and valuable by
the committee. Washington has used and
sold dope In many cities of the United
Rates.
A peculiar coincidence was that each
of the three men declared they had first
felt the effects of dope through medical
treatment following illness or injury by
accident. All three testified that their
physical condition had been greatly im
proved by their stay in jail.
It waa the final opinion of the com
mittee that . principal assistance which
could be rendered drug victims was the
rigid enforcement of laws forbidding sale
of dope. Step will be taken to co-operate
with the federal government in an effort
particularly to stop "peddling" or "boot
legging" of dope by Irresponsible indi
viduals, since. It was believed, drug stores
probably will be deterred from selling It
by fear of government prosecution.
The members of the conference will
watch particularly the future careers of
Cochran, Washington and Kemmerling,
or whom they made particular requests
that they cease the dope habit and who
Immediately or wKhIn the next few days
will be allowed to , recuperate their
strength at the county hospital.
