The latest Standard Oil bulletin
publishes the following item:
1T has been rumored that the
Standard Oil company has purchas-
ed, or about to purchase, the Ford
Motor company.
This company has not purchased
the Ford Motor company, nor has it
had any negotiations to that end"
The best information is to the eff
feet that rivals of the'Ford circulat-
ed this rumor, together with the
other rumor, that Fords could be
be had in year or so at $500 apiece.
The purpose of the rumor being to
persuade people to postpone the
purchase of Ford cars, and in the
meantime, press the sale of their
own brand.

Of
Bonded Goods
Awaits Law

A practical demonstration of one
result of the new tariff law will be
given almost as soon as it is signed
by President Wilson. Huge guam
titles of foreign-made merchandise,
already imported, will be thrown on
the market at large centers through
out the country.
For the last two months importers
have been storing goods in bonded
warehouses, to be held there until
they may be admitted under the
lower rates to- be provided in the
new law. Figures compiled by The
journal of Commerce show that
goods in bond in New York alone on
August 81 wereLvalued at $67 7,30l, :
900. Since that time the total has
increased largely.
While it was said that in some
cases decided changes would be
made in wholesale prices, no esti-
mates were obtainable as to the
probable effect on retail trade.

CAPT. NIkLAUS AND ENGINEER
ToMPSON DENY REPORT.

In an article published last week
inquiry on the burning of the tugboat
FL MOso, it was stated that the crew of
the boat were responsible for the dis.
,aster on account of neglect of duty
having been asleep at the time the fire
broke out.
Capt l.. r. A. Niklaus, who has been
in charge of the tugboat for a good
many years during the night and who
has always made an efficient officer,
states most positively to the public
that he was not asleep at the time the
fire broke out and came at the first call
of the alarm. Further than the state
ment that he was not asleep and was
on duty, the Captain preferred to leave
this statement suffice.
Engineer II. J. Tompson also made
statement to The Herald, in which
he states that he was on deck and dis
covered the fire in the hole in the drip
pan in the fire room and consequently
could not have been asleep at the time
of the fire. Mr.. Tompson also denies
that the Waterman made any report as
stated in the inquiry.
Both of these gentlemen are highly
respected Algiers citizens, have always
been sober and Industrious, are heads
of families, and we hope full justice
will be done them by the officers of the
Southern Pacific Company, who nc
doubt, will, after further investigation
restore them to their positions.
