SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 23.-The long arm of the United States govern ment reached out to a Pacific liner, five miles at sea and Snatched from fancied security a procuress, and two of her quarry whom she was taking to the bagniOs of the orient. It was the United States District Attorney John L.

 A few days ago McNab received in formation that a woman known as Mrs. Bernice Ward, also by the aliases of Mrs Bernice Bayley and Mrs. Vera Denries, reputed to have grown rich in her nefariOus trade of procuring young women for resorts in the cities of the far east, had engaged passage in Seattle for herself Mabel Kelley and Helen Heath on the liner Manchuria scheduled to said from this city for the orient today.
 Under the law which makes it a fe1- ony to engage in the transportation of women of immoral repute, the Offense not completed until the act has been carried beyond the limits of state. So McNab summoned United States Mar shal T. C. Elliot. two deputy marshals and Immigration Inspector John Ro- bins, and arranged to have the United States army tug SlOcum placed at his disposal. They awaited the sailing of the Manchuria at one o'clock. After the liner passed out of the heads, the Slocum went in pursuit and when the vessels were five miles at sea, the gov ernment officers signaled the Manchu- ria to heave to.
 Accompanied by the marshall, Me Nab boarded the steamer and the form CT placed the woman under arrest. They gathered their belongings and the sea being calm, the Slocum lying alongside, they marched them down a gangplank and brought them back to port.
 Mrs Ward remained in the custody of the marshal pending the disposition of her case in the federal court. The two young women were taken to the immigration station at Angel Island, where they were held as witnesses. The women declined to make any statement concerning the action of the federal officers until they have con suited their attorneys.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-It is be- Ieved here that Colonel Roosevelt will take the stand within few days before the senate sub-commit- tee Investigating campaign eXpendi- lures to answer the charges made to- day by John D Archbold that Roose- welt had knowledge of the use of Standard Oil money in his campaign of 1904.
 The committee is divided tonight over it's future course. Upon the arrival tomorrow of Senator Luke Lea. the one absent democratic mem Der of the committee, a meeting will be held to determine whom to call and where the next meeting will be held. Several members favor trans ferring the hearings at once to New York. where Roosevelt, George w. Perkins. George B. COrtelyOu and members of the Standard Oil com panys board of directors might tes tify
 The statement made today by John D. ArchbOld, financial head of the Standard Oil company, made clear cut the issues between him and Roosevelt, according to the members of the subcommittee. ArchbOld tes- tified that he understood that ROOse welt knew about and endorsed the Standard Oil company's contributions which came through the late Cor nelius N Bliss, treasurer of the re- publican national committee. AL though Roosevelt publicly stated that it was absurd for him to appear be- fore the senate committee, it is un- derstOod that he has consented to take the stand, if desired, in view of the direct charges made today by ArchbOld.
 If Cortelyou is recalled, it will be to explain the statement made by Archbold that Cortelyou, as chairman of the national committee knew of, and sanctioned the Standard Oil con tributiOn.
 In reply to the statement of RoOse- cit in New York today, Senator Penrose said tonight: Colonel Koosevelt's relations with the Stan dard Oil company have clearly been established. The Standard Oil com pany through John D. Archbold, who contributed $125.000 to the republican national campaign in 1904.
 Colonel Roosevelt did not consider that amount sufficient. and demand ed an additional contribution of s150,- 900. Tn reply to the disclosure of these facts, Roosevelt submits let ter. which in police circles would be known as a frame up,' an attack upon me personally.
 The exposure of RoOsevelts negO- tiations with the Standard Oil com pany are such that the frenzied cry of liar will not satisfy the people John D. ArchboId's statement before the senate investigating committee today substantiated every assertion l made on the floor of the senate on Wednesday relating to the Standard Oil company's contribution in the campaign of 1904.
 MT. ArchbOld appeared before the committee at his own request The members of that body informed me today that no such request had beer received from Roosevelt. I intend tC follow this matter to the end Arch hold left Washington this afternoon with the understanding that he would again appear before the committee and submit the books and other rec ords bearing upon the Standard Oi company's contributions. I shall in- sist that all persons mentioned in my statement in the senate on Wednes day, including Colonel Roosevelt, be summoned by the committee"
