come with the object of negotiating for
the practical assistance Of the United
States.
The estimates OF the total amount OF
money which Russia may obtain from
the United States have not been made
public. but unofficial estimates place
the sum at sl00,000000 month for the
next five months. when winter condi-
tions will considerably diminish the
amount needed for immediate use. The
largest single item probably viii be for
locomotives, rails and freight cars, TO-

y. S. Enjoys Reach
Sebastopol in Midst
OF Sailors Mutiny
Glennon and Aids Believed
Safe; Kerensky Hastcns to
Black Sea Port

Petrograd. June 2l delayed A
mutinous outbreak of the sailors of
the Black Sea fleet is reported from
Sebastopol. Rear Admiral Glennon
and other naval members of the Amer
lean mission arrived in Sebastopol in
the midst of the trouble, but while
no news has come through yet re-
garding them, there is no reason to
doubt their safety or to assume that
the disorders were connected with
their arrival.
The government declares no official
description of the outbreak will be
published for two or three days, but
il is believed the worst is over. II is
expected that delegates from the
Petrograd Council of Workmen's and
Soldiers Deputies, with Minister of
War Kerensky, will start for Sebas-
topol tonight.
The outbreak appears to have been
organized by followers Of the agitator
Lenine. backed by the extremists from,
Kronstadt, who arrived at Sebastopol
about a week ago. These emissaries
took advantage of the absence ut
Petrograd of the responsible leaders
among the sailors of the Black Sea
fleet. and accused the officers of con-
spring to restore the old regime.
A majority of the sailors, with
some of the officers, are said to have
supported the Leninites, whereupon
the local council of sailors deputies
expressed general distrust of the re-
naming officers. ordered their disarm-
ament and declared the deposition of
Admiral Koltchak. the commander of
the feet. who formerly was very pop
ular with the men. Commander Grubin
and three other officers were arrested.
simultaneously Admiral koltchak
was recalled by the Provisional Gov
ernment, which charged him with neg
lecting TO exercise his authority. The
command of the fleet was temporarily
transferred to Admiral Lukin.
The government demands the res
toration to the officers of their arms,
and announces that any sailors who
refuse to return to their duty will be
denounced as traitors to the father
land.

SEATTLE, Jan. 9.-Geo B. Grlgs- by leaves tonight for Juneau to take over the duties of territorial coun- sel on which he had been regularly installed by Governor Strong when Cobb's resignation was accepted.
 An interviewer sought to make capital out of the Grigsby trip on behalf of the "wets" so that prohi- bition legislation may be given set back and wholly prevented.
 It is understood here that some of the legislators who are "wets" wanted to job the matter to ease themselves.
 The interviewer squarely put the question to Grigsby if he would say if the Alaska legislature had power to pass a dry law, and if such law would be operative. Grigsby said that he hadn't given the question a thought as yet, and hadn't concerned himself with the powers of the le- gislature in this regard. He said that he must decline to express an opinion as yet.

 The closing of the arguments is followed by conjectures as to the probable decision. It is likely to be considered at an early date and without doubt there will be no delay in handing it down. Most people form the impression that the Court will declare the act unconstitutional, although the closing argument in it's defense is described as exceedingly powerful.

SLAV$ REGAIN TRACT
 LOST TO THE TEUT0NS

BERLIN, Jan. 9.-The opposition which is being offered by the Rus sians in the Rumanian theater of war is stiffening as the Teuton ad- vance proceeds. The Slavs have greatly strengthened their lines with endorsements and are making vici- ous counters on the Teuton right which caused the abandonment of some few unimportant positions. The aggressiveness of the Russians is in marked contrast to their indifferent resistance throughout Dobrudscha, and is the subject of comment among the Rumanians themselves.

What is declared by competent lawyers to have been one Of the greatest forensic fights ever heard before the Supreme Court marked the closing arguments of the Adam son bill, the efforts of both Hines, the railroad attorney and Davis the Solicitor General being marked by extraordinary depth and brilliancy of argument.
 In brief, however, Hines dwelt upon the unconstitutionality of the regulation of the scale of hours, and declared that the law was in effect nothing but a wages statute, a clear and recognized infringement of the right of freedom or contract and wholly invalid. He declared that such law was only to be permiss-

 The most sensational episode oc- cured during the remarks of Solici- tor General Davis who spoke with great vehemence and at considerable length in what is described as an ar gument of surprising breadth. This was when Davis declared that the right to fix wages was vested if necessary in the government. There was no such constitutional nmita- ton to the powers of government" said Davis "The Government can if public occasion calls for it, and pub

The entire front is marked by raids and count CT raids of some greater or lesser importance but without any serious present time significance. Thus in the Vosges, several German attacks were repulsed. The French bomb ardment of the Germans on the east Mouse occasioned spirited replies.
 The British repulsed several attacks on the Somme and Ancre while the Germans maintained a strong mad successful opposition to continued raids of their lines southeast of Ar ras. The German view that the British are feeling for position to att tack in force in Flanders or around Arras is not shared by local experts.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. g. The Rules Committee unanimously approved Bennet's motion to cite Lawson for contempt for his failure to answer questions. The motion was tabled for action. This all hap pened at a private session of the Rules Committee when the stand of Lawson was fully debated by the members. Lawson, thereupon being brought before the Committee to show cause why he was not in con- tempt, maintained his attitude with insolence.
 Lawson had told the committee
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-01-10

that he would disclose the name of Senator, cabinet official and New York banker who a member of con gress had told him were engaged in stock gambling partnership if an investigation was ordered. Bennett demanded the Congressman's name but Lawson refused to divulge it.
 Bennett again asked Lawson who was the congressman. Lawson promptly replied that he was al- ready in contempt, and it would be foolish and inadvisable to name the man now, when the committee had taken no precaution to secure the

LONDON, Jan. 9.-The desperate resistance of the Russians is evid- ently hampering the Teuton advance but experts do not believe that the Teuton advance will be stayed now until Rumania is successfully cover- ed by the Teuton forces. Everything indicates that the struggle will be bitter and prolonged as the Slavs are fighting with an abandon of fury according to reports from every side involved.
 The fighting on the Danubian del ta today according to German re- ports was fierce beyond words.
