Galveston and Texas City, the launch.
Globe, carrying six men, arrived here
this morning at 11 o’clock. The Globe
started from Texas City for Galveston
early Tuesday morning. When about
half of the trip had been accomplished
she grounded on a sandbar where she
remained tight and fast until this morn-
ing when pulled off by a passing
launch. Those on board the Globe, ow-
ing to the inclemency of the weather,
went through an unpleasant ordeal, but
otherwise were uninjured. They had
nothing to eat from the time they left
Texas City until they arrived here,
a period of over 24 hours. The following

By Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 2.—Extension of its
investigation of the Hog Island ship-
yard to a general inquiry into the ac-
complishments of the shipping board
was voted today by the senate com-
merce commission by adopting a reso-
lution of Senator Nelson of Minnesota
calling on the board to furnish it with
information relative* to all of its work

. dertaken. Senator Nelson called on the
Emergency Fleet corporation to give
the committee information relative to
published reports that the ship pro-
gram .had slowed up and that no troop
transports had been turned out by the
fleet, corporation.
Charles Piez, director general of the
fleet corporation, present to testify at
the hearing, said deliveries had been
slowed up to give the corporation an
opportunity to ascertain whether peace
conditions would bring about a change
in the specifications of ships.
The fleet corporation has decided to
take over the. Hog Island yard at this
time, M. Piez told the committee in
view of a marked improvement in con-
ditions there.

THE MEN IN
CLASS AI
A sound, healthy man is never a back
number. A man can be as vigorous and
able at seventy as at twenty. Condition,
not years, puts you in the discard. A
system weakened by overwork and care-
less living brings old age prematurely.
The bodily functions are impaired and
unpleasant symptoms appear. The weak
spot is generally the kidneys. Keep
them clean and in proper working con-
dition and you will generally find your-
self in Class A. Take GOLD MEDAL
Haarlem Oil Capsules periodically and
your system will always be in working
order.® Your spirits will be enlivened,
your muscles supple, your mind active,
and your body capable of hard work.
Don’t wait until you have been reject-
ed. Commence to be a first-class man
now. Go to your druggist at once.

Constitutionality of Detention Feature
Assailed in Appeal.
By Associated Press.
Austin, Jan. 2.—The constitutionality
of the act providing for the detention
for treatment of persons affected with
venereal diseases is attacked by a writ
of habeas corpus appeal filed in the
Court of Criminal Appeals by ex parte
Grace Brooks, who, the brief filed in
the court alleges, is restrained by the
chief of police of Houston at the mu-
nicipal farm.
Among other arguments, the brief ad-
vances that the act places “it within
the hands of one individual (a health
officer), not a judicial officer or board,
to arbitrarily impose his will upon per-
sons within the state, and imprison
such person during such time as he
may see fit regardless'of the necessity
therefor.’’.'

Federal Judge Takes Control of Kansas
City, Kan., Street Lines.
By Associated Press.
Kansas City, Jan. 2.—Under orders
from Judge John C. Pollock of the fed-
eral court, United States marshals to-
day took control of the street cars
and property of the, Kansas City Rail-
ways company in Kansas City, Kan., as
an outgrowth of the strike of motor-
men and conductors in progress since
Dec. 1. Trainmen as well as guards
are being employed by the federal au-
thorities and assigned to duty as rap-
idly as they can be sworn in. All are
armed.
The order of Judge Pollock taking
control of the street railway from the
city authorities was taken on an in-
tervening petition of the Kansas City,
Kan., chamber of commerce in an in-
junction suit of the Street Railway
company against the strikers, asking
protection of property. In Kansas City,
Mo., there was no change in the strike
situation.

Dunraven's stern.
Although he knew that the magazine
must explode if he waited, and that a
gun and a gun’s crew lay concealed
over the magazine, Captain Campbell
reserved his fire until the submarine
had passed clear of the smoke. A mo-
ment later there was a heavy explosion
and the Dunraven’s gun and its crew
were blown into the air. The concus-
sion started the fire gongs at the re-
maining gun positions. The screens
hiding the guns were dropped and the
only gun that could be brought to bear
opened fire. The submarine commenced
to submerge. Knowing that a torpedo
would surely follow, Captain Campbell
had all the wounded brought up and
concealed in cabins. The after part o
the Dunraven was a mass of flame, but
the crew fought the fire with hose while
wireless signals, were sent out warning
all other vessels to keep below the
horizon so as not to interrupt the nal
phase of the fight. _
Twenty minutes later another torpedo
struck the ship abaft the engine room.
Another “panic party” was sent away
in the boats, leaving the ship appar-
ently completely abandoned, with the
British flag flying and her guns un-
masked, but Captain Campbell and a
handfull of officers and men had re-
mained on board and lay hidden for
nearly an hour while the submarine
commander held off watching the burn-
ing ship through his periscope. 3
During all that time boxes of cordite
and shells were exploding every few
minutes and the fire was blazing furl-
ously. ■ Eventually the submarine
emerged astern where no guns could
be brought to bear upon her, and shelled
the Dunraven for twenty minutes. The
U-boat then steamed past the ship 100
yards off, and Campbell fired one of his
torpedoes at her, but missed by a few
inches. A second torpedo also missed.
The submarine saw it and submerged. .
A bird “panic party” was planning to ,
jump overboard and leave one gun crew
for a final attempt to sink the U-boat
when British and American destroy ers |
arrived on the scene. The Dunraven's
wounded were transferred, her guns re-
calld and the fire extinguished. The
Dunraven, in a sinking condition, was
taken in tow, but the weather grew
worse, and on the following morning
she sank with her colors flying.

New York, Jan. 2.—An opening ad-

considerable realizing in the cotton

MUCH PRELIMINARY WORK.
Before General Gathering of Peace Del-
egates Is Possible.
Bv Associated Press. ,
Paris, Jan. 2.—As the time of the
opening of the peace conference ap-
proaches it is becoming clear that there
must be much preliminary work done
and many sectional conferences held
before a general gathering of the dele-
gates of all the accredited powers
about the peace table will become pos-
sible. The American delegation is ap-
parently convinced that the many com-
plexities of the situation and the great
number of powers participating will
render impossible the holding of gen-
eral meetings in the immediate future.
Were only two powers, or three at
most, to participate in a peace confer-
ence the delegates pointed out, condi-
tions are quite unlike those where
| nearly the entire world takes part, as a
rule general meetings, for the actual
consideration of important points of the
treaty are impossible until most points
are threshed out by the powers most
interested in them.

Although the American representa-
tives have received many reports of
conditions in the Baltic states and in
the Ukraine, these reports are very
conflicting and the delegates are not
at all satisfied with the information
at hand.
The policy of the American delega-
tion with regard to the Russian situ-
ation and its general complications,
with the unrest in the Balkans and in
the former Russian districts, has not
yet taken form. The American dele-
gates apparently do not consider that
France and England either have out-
lined a definite policy toward Russia.
In this connection it may be stated that
Foreign Minister Pichon’s statement
to the effect that France favored de-
fensive intervention in Russia is not
looked upon in peace conference cir-
cles as a new declaration, as defensive
interference already exists, and the
process of hemming in Bolshevik Rus-
sia by allied forces in support of the
anti-German governments in Russia
has long been in progress.
Conversations among representatives
of the allies will begin at the French
foreign office upon the return to
Paris of Premier Clemenceau, which is
expected to be about Jan. 6 or 7. The
premier is taking a brief rest in La
Vendee.
President Wilson is expected back
in Paris at the beginning of next week,
while Premier Lloyd-George will arrive
Saturday.

London, Nov. 30.— (Correspondence of
the Associated Press).—The loss of the
British decoy ship Dunraven in a des-
perate battle with a German submarine,
the story of which has now been made
public by the British admiralty, con-
stitutes one of the most daring and
heroic episodes of the anti-submarine
war. With their vessel ablaze, and
boxes of cordite and shells exploding
every few minutes, the after gun crew
stuck to their gun until the magazine
exploded and blew them and their gun
into the air. Meanwhile the battle with
the submarine was fiercely waged.
This action took place in August,
1917. The vessel was one of the decoys
which was commanded by Captain Gor-
don Campbell, who had previously won
the Victoria cross by heroic and suc-
cessful work in decoying submarines to
their destruction. In her role of an
armed British merchant ship, the Dun-
raven was zig-zagging her course in the
lanes haunted by the submarines when
a U-boat opened fire upon her at 5,000
yards. The Dunraven returned the fire
with her merchant ship gun and re-
duced. her speed to enable the Hun to
overtake her. To coax him on, wireless
signals were sent out reading: "Help.

Stand on Guard.
Washington, Jan. 2.—Members of
the national women’s party, wearing
seamen’s slickers stood in driving rain
on the sidewalk before the White
House today to keep burning in a
metal wash tub the “watch fire” which
they say will burn until the senate
acts favorably on the woman’s suffrage
amendment. The fire was lighted in
the tub last night after citizens and
men in uniform had extinguished one
