SHIP OWNERS
 MAKE PROTEST
What Might Happen if Wilson Bill
 Becomes Law.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8.-The chief ship owners of the Pacific coast met here today to protest against the passing in it's present form, of the Will son bill, now before the senate which deals with the Manning of American ships. Objection found to the bin was that the ship owners believe it will put them at a disadvantage with other merchant marines less strictly regu- lated
 Section twelve of the bill provides that the collector may upon his own motion and shall upon the sworn in formation of any citizen of the United States setting forth that if this sec tiOn has not been compiled with, cause a muster of the crew of any vessel to be made to determine the fact, and no clearance shall be given any vessel failing to comply with the provision of this section.
 Ship owners interpret this to mean that any irresponsible person may at any time tie up a ship loaded with passengers and ready to proceed to sea This would cause endless eX- pense and inconvenience if the owners at the time were in controversy with any labor union. protest has been sent to Washington asking a delay of action until the ship owners side of the case can be heard.

Prices here," he said are thirty percent cheaper than in Chicago for choice cuts and ten to fifteen percent cheaper than in the Pacific north west but won't last. The retailer here has cut prices to the lowest possible point in an effort to meet before the fire prices.
 This is the explanation of the purely local differences up and down the coast. But as concerning the great market of California and Ne vada the ranges will soon be unable to supply the demand. There is not enough pork raised west of the Rockies to supply the local demand"

Rockefeller Has Furnished District Attorney Whit man Evidence of Police Graft and Stands Ready to Furnish Funds
BEEN INVESTIGATING
 ON HIS OWN HOOK
But the Story Is Denied That He Has Been Run. ming a Disorderly House for the Purpose of Trap ping Police Officials
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

NEW YORK, Aug S.-The fact be- came known today that John D. Rock efeller. Jr., had been instrumental in obtaining evidence of police graft which he has turned over to District Attorney Whitman for use in connec- tion with his investigation of the al- legged corruption among the higher po- lice officials, that has grown out of
 the murder of Herman Rosenthal the gambler
 While Starr J. Murphy, Rockefellers attorney, denied today the published report that the millionaire's son had been conducting a lisorderly house for l the purpose of obtaining evidence of
 black mail against the police he had let it be known that Rockefeller who about a year ago was foreman of the grand jury that investigated the white slave" traffic, had placed in the hands of the district attorney information bearing on the police situation" Rockefeller having become interested l in white slave" matters while foreman of the special grand jury and has since i been securing statistics with regard to the social evil.
 | Murphy's statement says: whatever | information was secured bearing on the
 police situation has been placed in the possession of the district attorney. The
 statement that Rockefeller or his rep
 resentatives have been conducting & | disorderly house is entirely without | foundation
 The information, it was learned to-
 night will be presented to the grand | jury in conjunction with a mass of
 similar evidence which the district att torney and his assistants have un-
 earthed since Bald Jack Rose made
 his charge involving high officials and gambling graft.
 Along with the publication of a re- port that Rockefeller had been con- | ducting disorderly house for the pur-
 pose of trapping the police it was re-
 ported that detective agency had been
 operating a gambling house for the
 same purpose. If this is so it is news
 to Whitman who has received no re- ports on the result that may have been l obtained.
 | AS far as Rockefeller in concerned, ! it was learned tonight that the young
 millionaire is prepared to furnish all 1 the funds necessary to enable the dis l trict attorney to conduct a sweeping | investigation designed to wipe out the alleged corrupt alliance between the
 police and the disorderly element Whitman said tonight he had been
 informed that police inspector had
 received $500 a month from a disor-
 derly house. The district attorney be- | fore the grand jury today had sixteen
 witnesses, one being police lieuten- ant, who testified that New York City
 had been wide open a year and half. Another witness Giovanni Stanach who saw the murder of Rosenthal who is reparded by the prosecution as one l of it's most important witnesses thus l far. was subpoened. It is believed that l the grand jury will hand down two murder indictments on Tuesday.
