General Investigation Is Ordered By
Commerce Commission.
By Associated Press.
Washington, April 5.—A general in-
vestigation of railroad freight rates
on petroleum products was ordered to-
day by the interstate commerce com-
mission.
The investigation was decided on in
view of wide differences in the
amounts and percentages of recent
rate increases sought by the railroads.
It appeared, said the order, that an
equitable adjustment of rates could be
effected only by a general investiga-
tion covering the whole situation.

ing punished by a military court. The
baron now charges that Von Bernstorff
with fourteen others caused his di-
vorce and dismissal from the army by
circulating untruthful reports.
According to the statement of Ray-
mond G. Miller, examiner in charge
of the offices of the United' States em-
ployment service bureau here, he has
applications for two farm hands which
he has been unable to fill despite the
fact that the places in question are
close to Galveston and pay good money.
One of them offers thirty-five dollars
a month, board and lodging) and the
second offers twenty-five dollars, board
and lodging. One of the positions is
in San Leon an the other is just across
the channel at Port Bolivar.
Mr. Miller stated that he usually had
several applicants a day just dropping
in casually, but he added that these
men had failed to show up within the
past day or two and accordingly he
had to again call for men to take the
positions. Both are very desirable
places for a man engaged in that kind
of work, and the pay is very good
for that class of labor.

Amsterdam, April 5.—Berlin society
is much stirred by a suit for libel
against Count Christian Gunther von
Bernstorff, son of the former German
ambassador to the United States, by
Baron Walter von Radeck, a member
of an old Prussian military family,
who lived for many years in England.
Count Gunther’s wife, who was Mrs.
Marguerite Vivian Burton Thomason,
of Burlington, N. J., and a number of
others, including the wife of one of the
generals commanding an army on the
Western front, are also defendants in
the suit.
Baron von Radeck and his wife, ac-
cording to the Rhenische Westfalische
Zeitung, were divorced in October, 1917,
and she subsequently married Count
von Bernstorff.
The result was a physical encounter-
between the two men in which Von
Radeck tore the epaulettes from Von
Bernstorff’s uniform. Thereupon Von
Bernstorff declared that Von Radeck
was not capable of giving satisfac-
tion as a gentleman, and he charged
Von Radeck of spying for England.
This resulted in Von Radeck leav-
ing the army and Von Bernstorff be-

Sir Frederick Black, head of a Brit-
ish mission in the United States, will
arrive here this afternoon according
to Alfred J. Ogston, British counsel
in Galveston. The petroleum produc-
tion of the United States is of particu-
lar interest to Commissioner Black,
but it is not known just what his
mission to Galveston concerns. The
commissioner will come by boat from
Houston.
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela-
tion if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul-
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. ’An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drugstore all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in-
gredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive-
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can .tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a. sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis-
ease.— (Adv.)
pany with several other local bakers,
will attend. The object of the meet-
ing of the bakers is to make plans for
the greater conservation of wheat, by
co-operating in every way possible with
the food administration. Rules may
be adopted at the meeting by which
all the bakers who attend may be gov-
erned. The annual convention of the
Texas Bakers’ association will be held
in Houston Tuesday and Wednesday,
and the Galveston bakers will prob-
ably attend, while in Houston.
A Child 2 or 3 Years Old
requires something stronger than the sweet liquid
laxatives now on the market which are prepared
especially for infants.
LAX-FOS WITH PEPSIN fills this long-felt want.

Ouch ! ? ! ? ! ! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn stops soreness
at once, and soon the corn dries up
and lifts right out without pain. A.
delightful surprise awaits all who try
this.
He says freezone is a sticky substance
which dries immediately and never in-
flames or even irritates the surround-
ing tissues or skin. A quarter of an
ounce of freezone which will cost very
little at any drug store, is said to be
sufficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from one’s feet. Millions
of American women will welcome this
announcement since the 'inauguration
of the high heels.
Count Christian Gunther von Bern-
storff and Mrs. Thomason were mar-
ried last December 8th. He is 26 years
old and in 1913 was a clerk in the
offices of Speyer & Company. He en-
tered the German diplomatic service
shortly after the outbreak of the war.
Countess von Bernstorff is about 30
years old. Her first husband was an
American, from whom she was di-
vorced, after which she married Baron
von Radeck. She was born in Strouds-
burg, Pa., of English parents, and was
adopted by E. J. Thomason of Bur-
lington, N. J. After her first marriage
she met Baron von Radeck in New
York and they were married in Lon-
don in 1911. Two years later she
filed suit for divorce on the grounds
of cruelty and the case dragged on un-
til last October. ■ Four years ago the
countess fell heir to an estate of $100,-
000 from her foster mother.
Baron von Radeck was formerly at-
tache to the German embassy in Lon-
don. His father was a general in the
German army.

Washington, April 5.—The interstate
commerce commission today ordered
an investigation of the physical valua-
tion of forty-five telegraph and cable
companies’ property and of their
financial condition, similar to the
caluation proceedings of railroads un-
der way for several years.
The inquiry is understood to be un-
dertaken principally to assist the com-
mission in passing on rate questions
and includes the Postal Telegraph com-
pany and a number of its subsidiaries,
the Commercial Cable company of New
York, Mackay Telegraph and Cable
company with several subsidiaries, the
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk,
New England, the Kansas, American
District, the Lehigh, and Chicago, Mil-
waukee and Lake Superior telegraph
companies. The Western Union is not
included.

The largest field meet in the history
of Fort Crockett will be staged at
• the fort on April the 17th, in behalf
of the third liberty loan campaign.
The participants will be the coast ar-
tillery and the regiment of United
States marines stationed at the fort^
The arrangements of the meet will be
under the supervision of the Y. M. C.
A. Some orator of national promi-
nence will make the opening address
on the stated day, and Col. L. H. Moses,
commander of the marines and John
L. Roberts, Jr., commander of the ar-
tillerymen, will make short talks.
The regular field meet program will
be arranged by the men in charge and
in addition there will be several box-
ing matches of interest. These boxing
matches will be under the direction of
Lieut. Antonio Moschella. There are
some very good boxers at the fort and
a boxing exhibition is always certain
to be an attraction which will draw
well. The rounds will be for three
minutes apiece.
The marines and the coast artillery
band will render special selections
throughout the entire program. The
personnel of both the bands, com-
bined bring the total to over fifty
men.
The Robert I. Cohen pennant em-
blematic of the championship on track
records, will be awarded to the com-
pany that scores the most points
throughout the contests. At present
the pennant is resting in the hands of
the 112th company of marines, and
according to reports from that com-
pany they intend to keep it there.
All the companies will begin getting
their best men out for training in
preparation of the event and some
keen competition is expected. With the
coming of warm weather some of the
old records made early this year, will
be smashed to smithereens.
A strong effort will be made to
have the business firms of the city
declare a half holiday, in an effort
to let a large crowd of civilians come
to the fort for both the speeches and
the meet. Any civilians who have gone
to any previous meet, have spent an
