PARIS. Nov. 15.-Sebastopol has
fallen. the Russian BolshevlN having
occupied the city last night, accord
ing to information received by the
French Foreign Office. The Bolsheviki
are reported to be masters of the
whole Crimean Peninsula.
Gen. Wrangel, members Of his staff
and NJ. Martel, French High Commits
sloner at Sebastopol were taken on
board the French warship Waldeck
Rousseau and are expected to arrive
in Constantinople late tonight or to-
morrow.
Some OF those connected with the
Foreign Office estimated that Bolshe-
Wiki had captured between 100000 and
zoo, 900 Wrangel troops. Bolsheviki
losses in killed and wounded are esti-
mated at 10000.
American Red Cross storehouses
are reported to have been pillaged
by "a mob.
The Waldeck- Rousseau and pe
other French and the American and
British ships at Sebastopol did not
leave that port until the Bolsheviki
were within the walls OF the city.
These ships, according to the Foreign
Office advices. were loaded to ca
pacity with refugees and the rem
nants of Gen, Wrangle's troops.
Many refugees were left behind, and
these, it was said, probably num-
bered 100000
The fate OF these refugees is caus-
ing great anxiety, as the American
relief organization has also left the
Crimea. The majority of the refugees
have been dependent upon the Ameri-

During a conference between the
Lockwood Housing Committee and
the Board of Estimate to- day, Samuel
Untermyer. chief counsel of the for
mer body, declined the invitation of
the Estimate body to go into gem
eral investigation Of all city con-
tracts at this time. He made 1t clear
that the specific purpose of the Lock
wood Committee on Housing was not
to Investigate city departments but
all the elements which contributed
toward creating the present housing
situation.
The Board Of Estimate "cconvened
after its conference with the Lock
wood committee and decided to con-
duct u separate investigation of its
own Of all city contracts. This in.
vests cation will be open to the pub
lie. The resolution was introduced
by the Mayor.
After having Informed the Esti-
mate Board that the Lockwood com
mittee had bigger tasks on hand than
even the investigation Of city con-
tracts. and that 1t has merely
scratched the surface" in its search
after corruption, Mr.. Untermyer Of

only that but many thousands OF men
will be turned out OF Jobs, important
city improvements will be held up
and the injustice and misery which
would follow would be incalculable.
Therefore, the city should not take
so brutal a step as to hold up all
city contracts and place every con-
tractor in the limelight OF suspicion"

THE MAYOR.
Mayor Hylan interrupted Mr.. I'm

your letter on the subject that you
meant that the Estimate Board should
hold up all contracts pending the
outcome Of the investigation"

to scrap all city contracts, good and
