ence to the company recent operations
in Kansas.
The order followed call at the White
House by Representative Campbell of
Kansas. who procured yesterday the
passage by the House OF resolution
providing for such an investigation.
President Roosevelts action is, how
ever. independent of that taken by the
House. He is determined that the fullest
possible investigation be had of the
charges made against the Standard oil
Company in the Kansas field. and per-
sonally wrote 10 Commissioner OF Cor
porations Garfield this morning, after
Mr.. Campbell's call, directing him to set
the machinery OF his office to work at

Nature of inquiry.
Representative Campbell asks that the
department inquire into The causes OF
the marked difference in the price Of
crude oil or petroleum at the Kansas oil
wells and the price Of refined oils and its
by-products at the Kansas City re-

said this morning he felt sure the de-

would also unearth evidence of monopo

BIG FREEZE IN THE SOUTH

For the next day or SO. at least. there
will be q moderation in the weather.
The temperature rose rapidly this
morning, and will continue to rise dur
ing the afternoon and night.
At o'clock this morning the ner-
curry rested at above zero. the coIdest
In the last twenty-four hours. From
that time on the temperature took
rise. At 10 O'Clock the official record
was IL degrees above, change OF Z
degrees In two hours.
Washington was about the coldest
SPOT in the East last night It was
colder here than at Philadelphia and
New York. but the moderation in
Washington today has been much faster
than in those cities.
Prof. Garriott says there are no more
cold waves in sight. and for day or
two there viii probably be no snow.
Freeze Throughout South.
Throughout the South there has been
a terrible freeze of three days and there
was no moderation until today. All
along the Gulf border the temperature
was below freezing point. and In the
mountains of Tennessee and North Car
olina many towns reported from to IL
degrees below zero. much colder than
the weather in washington.
/. While 1t is impossible to tell yet the

Florida has suffered more from the cold
! than in many years. If this be true
