Milwaukee Founders on the
Sands Of California Coast,
Being Total Loss.
EVERY MEMBER OF
CREW TAKEN OFF
NOt Even Dog Mascot Is Allowed to
Lose Life When Cruiser. Trying
to Salvage Submarine, Is
Driven on Sand.

Eureka, Calf, Jan. 13.-In tight
for their lives against heavy sea,
more than 300 United States sailors
were brought ashore tonight in
Waukee, which rolled and tossed in
the surf, with a possibility of being
total loss on the northern California
coast, where she struck shore in
heavy fog early today.
AT $50 o'clock tonight, the last
member Of the crew was landed on
the beach, Not a life was lost. and
only one man was hurt, in the res
cue of the hundreds of men aboard
the stranded vessel. Breakers were
spraying over the warship's super
structure. and the incessant pounding
of the waves was driving the vessel
further ashore and into the sand.
The Milwaukee's false bottom was
flooded, in an effort to anchor her
against the wash of the sea. Naval
officers ashore said it was hardly pos
sible the $4,000,000 cruiser will ever
float again. The Milwaukee is stuck
hard only a few hundreds yards from
the submarine H-3 which grounded a
month ago near the entrance to Hum
boldt bay. The cruiser was attempt
ing to salvage the submarine at the
time of the accident. Six other YES
sells have gone ashore in that immedi-
ate vicinity in the past few years, and
none has been saved.
Dog Mascot Comes Ashore with Men.
Four breeches buoys were swung
to the Milwaukee, and the men We're
brought ashore as rapidly as possible.
The line had been attached to the
mast. With each roll of the vessel,
the troleys would flatten and then
straighten, Hopping the buoys with
their human burden into the breakers,
and then alternately hosting them
high in the air.
Fifty men and "Sea Rover" the
ships dog mascot, were landed just
before dark, with the aid of surf boats
manned by members of the coast
guard. One man said eight feet OF
water was in one fire room, and that
two of the boilers had shifted.
Medical treatment was given the
rescued men here by the naval militia
of Eureka, members of which arrived
with emergency equipment late in the
afternoon.
The Milwaukee was under command
of Lieut.. W. S. Newton. She carried
13 commissioned officers, ten war;
rant officers and reduced compile
ment Of between 400 and 500 men,.
Seventy Of the crew were ashore
when the Milwaukee struck.

DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE OFFERS
8-h0UR Plan
In Supplemental Brief in
Adamson Law Case, EN-
ployes' Idea Given.

washington, Jan. 13.-In a. supple
case, received today at the supreme
court for formal filing next Monday,
the department of justice makes
suggestions for machinery to put the
law into effect.
Under existing wage contracts, the
brief declares, the phrases days
work. and days wage have we'll
recognized meaning in freight SER
vice contracts to be 600 miles or
less at ten miles an hour" but by sub
shutting 10 " miles per hour "speed
basis" for the existing 1OO-mlle. ten
hour day scale, the brief asserts, the
Adamson eight-hour standard can
generally be put into operation. The
following endorsement to the exist
inc schedule was submitted to the
court:
"Wherever by this schedule more
than eight hours constitute days
work, the same is hereby reduced to
eight hours. whether herein stated
in terms of hours or in terms reduci-
bic thereto, and all overtime shall be
paid pro rata
Regarding the brotherhoods, the
brief says:
"The Adamson act declares in ef-
feet that every employe of the class
affected, no matter what his task,
shall be considered, at the end OF
eight hours, to have earned the con-
tract price payable for a days work.
If he is worked longer. and he may
be. such work will constitute over
time and entitle him to extra pay.
The burden of this extra pay is de-
pended upon to produce an actual
shortening of hours. and this short
ching can be effected without curtaal-
ing the mileage of days trip II
the speed per mile is increased. II,
however, like engineers and conduc-
tors, the employee is laboring at
task which can and usually is accom-
plished in less than eight hours, ne
is. of course, unaffected by the act
The acts purpose was to decrease
not increase, the hours OF actual
labor. It is only when the employe is
set to a task of longer duration than
eight hours that the act steps in and
penalties the employer for imposing
overtime"

his speech in the senate, but to a
later transaction by which the board
acquired 1,400 acres which have been

RUMANlANS GET
TRENCHES FROM
AUSTRO-GERMANS
Slight Advantage on Mol
davian Front Is Offset to
Other Losses.
(Associated Press Summary

Further successes by the Teutonic
allies on the lower line of the Sereth
river, near it's junction with the Dan
ube, officially reported Saturday, are
partially offset by a Rumanian ad-
vance and the capture of trenches ii
the Austro-German forces along the
Moldavian frontier, in the region OF
the Kassina river.
At one point on the Moldavian from
tier, north of the Slanic valley, the
invading army delivered strong at
tacks and drove the Russians from
heights, capturing machine guns,
mine throwers and ia men.
Fierce fighting along the lower Ser
eth line resulted in the capture by
Turkish troops of the Rumanian
town of Mihalea, northwest of Braila,
and 400 men of it's garrison. Others
of the defending forces, attempting 10
escape, were drowned in the Sereth
river.
The Bulgarians have taken mon
, astery near the confluence of the
Ruzeu and the Sereth rivers. Heavy
!, fighting is in progress on both sides
of the Oituz, in the mountains of Mol
davia, where strong attacks by the
invaders and the defenders alike
were repulsed.
Aside from the Rumanian theatre
activity, and even in the Riga sector
of the Russo-German front, there was
little of Importance to transpire. Ger
man attacks south of Lake Babit were
lrepulsed.
| British troops launched new at
! tack against Sorry and gained foot
ing in one of the advanced German
positions. Otherwise only artillery
fighting in the region of Chaulnes is
reported from the French front.
! The usual artillery duels were
maintained along the whole Austro'
Italian line.
Entente forces advancing to Striv-
ma, in Macedonia, were checked.
A Russian squadron is reported tc
have attacked and sunk, off the Ana
tolian coast of the Black sea, 40 Turk
ish sailing vessels carrying food sup
| plies.

ing of the higher court will directly
affect ten other states where the 2
cent rate is in effect
