SAN FRANCISCO. June J.-W. R.
Green and J. R. Porter, who were taken
to police headquarter and questioned In
connection wfth the mysterious dlsaip.
pearance of $22,000 ln gold on the steam
er Alameda, on her trip from Australia
to this port, were released by the po
lice after a few hours at haedquarters.
The police have concluded that Green
