WHEAT PRICES
Cook County District Attorney
Summons Grain Companies
to Produce Their Books.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Charles f. Clyne,
United States district attorney, an
nounced today that he was investigat-
ing the rise in the price of wheat and
other cereals, but declined to indicate
what action he purposed taking. He
said that there is much smaller
amount of wheat in Chicago at present
than there has been at any time In
several weeks.
SubpOenaes for representatives OF
three of the largest grain companies
and elevator concerns to bring in their
books and records of business transac.
tions covering several months were or
dered issued by the district attorney
today.
"There is a million and quarter
bushels OF wheat in Chicago today. if
my investigation is correct" Mr.
Clyne said Last year at this time
there were between eight and ten mil
lion bushels of wheat in Chicago
These figures do not mean anything
unless it is granted that the condi
tions last year and this year are the
same That question is a debatable
one. There are 100000 bushels OF
wheat in Milwaukee and a large
amount had been shipped to the east
81 am sure that | know the amounts
of wheat in all the central markets
Against the million and quarter
bushels of wheat in Chicago there are

HIGH WATER IN
PENNSYLVANIA
Allegheny and Monengahela
Rivers Reported Steadily
Rising and Doing Damage.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 2.-The crest OF
the flood, which began descending on
this district yesterday, was expected
to pass the point where the ALE
gheny and Monongahela rivers form
the Ohio at midnight tonight.
The weather bureau forecasts 2a
ce point at that hour. Early
tonight the gauge there showed q
feet. with the Allegheny still rising.
The low lying sections of the city
along the Allegheny and Ohio rivers
were inundated and trolley and rail
road traffic there was at a stand
still Hundreds of families left theiI
homes both here and a, points up the
Allegheny river.
The breaking of huge ice gorge
at Freeport caused the Allegheny tt
rise rapidly today and much ice flow
ed out. Many manufacturing plants
along the three rivers were forced te
cease operations temporarily.
At Martins Ferry, Ohio, 1000 mef
were forced to quit work. At Easi
Liverpool four potteries and the munic
ipal pumping station were isolated.
Rain ceased falling early today and
the thermometer dropping, caused tht
weather bureau to express the hope
that the floods crest would not reacl
30 feet.

EXPERTS BELIEVE GERMANS
WILL NOT REACH WARSAW

higher than on the left banks. SO that
a decided advantage.
Should the Germans break through
this barrier there is another line of
entertainments half way between the
Bzura and Warsaw with Blonie as the
center, which would have to be forced
before the Polish capital fell.
In the Carpathians, the Austrians
and Germans are offering vigorous re-
sistance to the Russians and a decis-
Ion has not been reached in the battle,
which has been in progress there for
some days.
The statement in the official report
that there has been fighting to the
southeast of Uzsok pass, in tn einterior
of Dukla pass, and to the southeast of
Beskid pass, indicates the extent of
the struggle for the possession of
these important strategic points.
The attempt of a German submarine.
as officially reported, to torpedo the
British hospital ship Austrias, has at
tracted a great deal of attention in
England where it is strongly con-
demned.
There has been another skirmish
between the British and Turkish
scouts east of the Suez canal near
lsmailio. The Turks were driven off
with some losses and the British had
six men wounded. The opinion still
prevails in London that the Turks will
not attempt to cross the desert with a
large force and that the present pin
pricks were arranged only to compel
the British to keep troops in Egypt,
instead of sending them to France.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-l0:3O p. m.)--
With comparative quiet prevailing on
the western front, the fighting in the
east, which Is more strenuous and
widespread, monopolizes attention.
While the Russians are on the Of
fensive in East Prussia, in Northwest
ern Poland and the passes of the Car
pathians, the Germans continue their
attacks on the Russian line along the
Bzura and Rawka rivers. The invad-
ers reached the Rawka line about the
middle of December and since that
time have made at least half a dozen
attacks in force against the Russian
trenches, each time at undOubted
heavy cost.
Nothing daunted, however, they have
been repeating the attacks in the last
week and while they have made a
slight advance, it has been accom-
plished only after further great losses,
according to the reports from Petro-
grad. Now it is believed that the Ger
mans are preparing for still another
onslaught, for only by compelling the
Russians to strengthen their lines pro-
tecting Warsaw, can they hope to d.
vert the Russian attacks against East
Prussia and Hungary.
Military men here hold to the be-
lief that the Germans are attempting
what seems virtually impossible in
their efforts to force their way
through Warsaw. The Rawka and
Bzura lines, which they have been at.
tacking for six weeks, are exceedingly
strong, for on the right banks of the
rivers, which the Russians for the most
part hold, the ground is considerably

received here says that the execution
of three of the conspirators in the

DIVER GRANTED PERMISSION TO
RECOVER PLUMBER FROM SHIP

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Feb. g.
The war department has granted per
mission to submarine diver, Charles
Stagger, to recover the copper boilers
guns and church fittings sunk with the
Russian sloop of war Neva sixty years
ago off Cape Hitcom, Alaska, after the
vessel struck reef. Stagger located
the wreck in sixty feet of water last
summer and expects no great difficulty
in working in the wooden hulk. which
still holds together. It is not true, as
reported, that the Neva had $200,00(
in coin, but she was carrying golt
ikons, crucifixes and altar ornaments
for the Russian churches of Alaska
having artistic as we'll as intrinsic val
ue. The Neva carried six ten-pount

Villa has proclaimed himself in
charge of the presidency of Mexico
This was announced in a telegram
from General Villa received tonight
by his agents here. Villa appointed
three ministers to take charge of the
civil government.
The northern chieftain by his act
becomes the tenth man to assume the
provisional presidency of Mexico
since the downfall of the Dia2

reason for assuming the office that
his forces had been separated from
the convention government headed by
Rogue Gonzales Cara, as provisional
president, who left with the Zapata
forces when they departed from Mex
