crowd assembled today when a small
gray mouse trotted out the door OF a
candy store on Chestnut street below

the Hotel Adelphia.
Right in his path was woman weigh
ing not less than 234. She shrieked twice
and leaped off the curb into the middle
of the street. The mouse followed. but
three more jumps landed her safely on
the opposite curb. The mouse made
face at her and ran down a grating into
the hotel.
Colored silk stockings are much the
vogue this summer, though many women
favor black ones, very sheer and deli
cately embroidered.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Toxic, January 17.-The return OF
General Kamio and Admiral Kato
to Toxic after their successful cam
paign at Kiao-Chow was made the
occasion for dedicating the new central
railroad station in Toxic.
The site is hardly more than a
stones throw from the imperial pal
ace and on that account particular eff
forts were made to build a station
that would harmonic with it's clas-
steal and imperial environment. The
architect was DR.. Kingo Tatsuno, who
studied in Europe but who is now hon
orary professor in the Imperial Uni
versity of Japan.
The building is in the style of the
French Renaissance, and it's total
length is 1,104 feet The total floor
area is 2S,96S square wards
Two massive domes visible from
afar surmount the station at either
end. The builders have tried to In
troduce every modern convenience.
Hotels, restaurants, both European
and Japanese, public telegraphs and
telephones, writing rooms and waiting
rooms, elevators, latest arrangements
for handling baggage-all are found
in the new building.
The imperial portion in the center
covers an area of 1,100 square yards.
1t contains the emperor's waiting room
and accessory rooms, a hall, two wait
ing roms, a porch, a veranda, a corri-
dor, and passage to the platform
The imperial suite is furnished in the
beautiful Rinoki wood of Japan. In
side the main portal are oil paintings
presenting an image of Japan at labor

The station cost s1,5o0,ooo. It is al
most unique in that it stands in the
heart Of the most artistic and attrac-
tive part Of the city.

An Investigation
In Wheat Prices
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Jan. 17.-Pres. Wilson
today directed Attorney General
Gregory to investigate whether there
had been any violations of law in the
rise of wheat and flour prices.
The department of commerce prob
ably will be asked by the president
20 furnish information showing what
degree of increase in exports of wheat
and flour followed the outbreak of the
European war.
Mr.. Gregory has promised prosecu-
tons on any evidence that illegal
combinations have forced up the
price of wheat and flour or other food
products. An investigation in Chi
cago is being watched closely by the
department of justice.
From various sources suggestions
have been made to the president that
an embargo be laid on wheat and flour
exports to keep home prices normal
Officials declined today to comment
on any Of them.
Department of justice officials to-
day were watching developments
from the recent jump in the price of
wheat and flour with a view to pos
sible discovery of evidence of Illegal
combinations behind the increases.
Federal attorneys throughout the
country are looking into the situation
under instructions which were issued
by direction of President Wilson when
food prices increased AFTER the begin
ming of the European war. Discov-
cry Of evidence of Illegal combinations
would result in prompt prosecution,
according to the attorney general,
President Wilson had before him to-
day the suggestion of Mrs. Julian
Heath, president Of the National
Housewives League, that he order an
embargo on wheat exports should the
prices continue to rise.
