KAISER
HONORS

London, May ia Central News
dispatch from Amsterdam says that
Captain Karl Boy-Ed, formerly Ger
man naval attache at Washington, has
been decorated with the order of the
Red Eagle, third class with swords, by
Emperor William.
Captain Boy-Ed was appointed to
the Washington embassy, December,
1911. After various charges had been
made against him in regard to his
connection with passport frauds,
equipment Of German commerce raid
ers from this country and German
intrigues in Mexico, President Wilson
requested his recall.
After the president had declined a
request from Berlin to explain the
reasons for the demand for Boy-Ed's s
recall, the attache was ordered home
last December. Charges against Boy
Ed continued after his departure from
this country. In March of this year,
when Horst Won der Goltz was arrest
ed in New York in connection with q
wild plot to blow up the Welland
canal in Canada, he made a statement
charging that Boy-E had proposed
an invasion of Canada from the Unit
ed States. >-

SILK CONCERNS CHARGED
WITH MISBRANDiNG

Washington, April 5-The work of
the federal trade commission in DO.
icing the avenues of trade begins in
dead earnest today. when hearing
Will be held on the cases brought
against New York and Philadelphia
thread concerns, who are charged
with unfair business practices. The
members of these firms have been
cited to appear today to show cause
why they should not be restrained
from continuing the alleged unfair
practices.
The complaints charge that the
firms manufactured and sold mercer.
lzed cotton thread as silk" and that
the product had no portion of silk. 1t
is charged that to brand this sewing
thread as sewing silk" is misleading,
and the rival manufacturers have
been injured in their business.
The commissions complaint sets
forth that the word silk when ap.
piled to thread or textile goods, both
in the technical and popular usage
has precise and exact meaning, and
is only accurately and properly used
in describing materials derived from
the cocoon of the silk worm"
