ENGLAND EXPLAINS.

LONDON. May 2O.-m an effort to correct what the government believes to be a misunderstanding of Great Britain's attitude toward American ships and American cargoes, in other neutral bottoms, detained under the order in council, the foreign office has issued an explanatory memcran- dun. It declares the detained ships are being investigated as repidly as possible and that the government is ready to pay for the cargoes of cotton as soon as papers. showing owner ship and cost, are received from Anne rica.
 The memorandum is supplemented by an explanation that the cotton cargoes which the government agreed to purchase under the cotton agree ment, have all be bought by the gov ernment and that the actual details concerning the payment only await the proof of ownership and the papers showing the actual contract price. which must come from the United States before the owners of the cotton get their money.
 The memorandum says there are at present three American ships detained in England, two cotton ships while the third is the Joseph w. Fordney. The Fordney is being held for inves- tigation because of suspicious action in trying to escape British warships. also because of the fact the British are unable to fud any person ihMtl.

ROCKEFELLER IN DENIAL OF ALL
 IMPLICATION
John D. Rockefeller, in State ment Before Commission,
 l-E~o -l4e Ha5 Nothing to Do With Colorado Strike.

WASHINGTON. May 2O.-John D. Rockefeller. Jr., read a detailed stote- ment aJ the resumption today Of his examination before the Industrial Re- lations Commission m connection with the Colorado strike. He reanirm ed his denial that he was the direct ing mind in the strike and detailed suggestions he made for bringing au end Co the industrial strike.
 Mr. Rockefeller, in support Of his contention that every effort was made to bring abou. peace. read letters and telegrams containing the substance of suggestions made by him and asso- ciates to the Denver officers Of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company dur ing the strike
 Mr. Rockefeller denied that he or his associates had anything to do with the prosecution or John E. Lawson, mine union officer. recently convicted of murder in Colorado. as he said newspapers have stated. NIT. Rocke- feller reiterated his announced inten- tion of visiting Colorado to investigate conditions which he said had SO far been prevented by an unfortunate succession of events. He assured the commission that in the meantime of- ficers of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. are cooperating with employees to improve conditions and that these efforts are meeting with gratifying success. Mir. Rockefeller also gave the commission the statements of de- nial he made to the press on April % last in answer to the charge that correspondence filed with the com mission shows that he exercised ca personal influence that extended even to the state house at Denver and pre- stunned to dictate letters that went out to the president Of the United States and the governors of the states over the signature of the governor of Colorado"
 After quoting from the statement he made at the commissions hearings in New York last January to the ef- feet that he never sought to dictate policy or to arbitrarily control any situation relative 10 the strike. MT. Rockefeller said that "all policies as well as matters of detail were decided and carried out by the executive of- ficers at Denver without asking our advice"
 Neither my New York associates nor ] conducted the strike. As my associates and I acquired fuller know ledge of the situation our efforts were directed to making suggestions which we hoped might help in terminating the controversy"
 Mir Rockefeller then gave the sub stance of every suggestion which we made to the Denver office during the strike. quoting the letters and tele- grams bringing forth these sugges- tions. The suggestions MT Rockefel- Ter grouped under ten headings as follows:

San Francisco, CAL, April 8.-When
Old Sol peaks over the high Sierras in

upon tall, alert and athletically built
young woman walking swiftly along
the winding pathways of Golden Gate

gent necessity for her being at the
other side of the city's big playground
without delay. There is none, how

distinguished California songbird,
Margaret Jarman, who is singing
here in grand opera. The early morn
