TOKYO, Jan. 10.-An echo of ten years ago, when the governments Of various White Russian adventur- CTS were making their last stands in Siberia against the Red ad- vance, has resounded through le- gal, financial and diplomatic circles in Tokyo.
 Two White Russian factions, agreeing to end a ten-year squab- ble, obtained court order on which they received from the Yokohama Specie Bank about 100000 yen ($70000O to be used for unstatcd purposes. in spite of the belated protests of the Soviet Embassy.
 The story began in 1919 when At aman Semionoy, White Cossack leader in Siberia. came to Japan with more than a million yen in gold bullion. earmarked for the pur- chase of war supplies to be used against the Bolsheviks. The gold was placed in charge of Major Gen. eral Podtiagin, military attache of the still surviving Tsarist Einbas- sy, who deposited it with the Yoko- hama Specie Bank.
 Later Semionov's government collapsed and he took refuge in Ja- pan Meanwhile General Podtia- gin had tired of his empty job in Tokyo and joined the White Rus sian colony in Paris.
 There followed years Of litigation, Semionov suing to compel Podtia- gin to make over the gold deposit to him, while Podtiagin maintained it should be held in trust for the

SITKA

We do not know how you ar rive at the conclusion that the Sitka A. N. B. team was defeated 3y the Douglas A. N. B. team. Our team has not left town this season to play any team. They met and defeated the $. J. $. (locals) two games to each with the final game in the offing. However, there are some Sitka boys fooling around Juneau and j. is probable that they have or ganized a team, but they are by no means "A. N. B., either. The regular team here was certainly surprised to see that they had been defeated in Douglas at a time when they were right here. n fairness to our boys, please make correction.

GARDNER AS A PROSPECT

c. T. Gardner seems quite anx- xious to become a Senator from the First Division. He tried to break in on the Republican pri- mary two years ago, against Charles Benjamin. But he sig nally failed. And then instead of being a good sport and sup porting the Republican ticket at the November election he turned in and fought the ticket that he sought to get on, and af- ter declaring in his filing that he would support a majority of the nominated.
 Men of that type can scarcely be relied upon, as their opinions on public questions are usually subject to pressure. Opposed to such a man as Senator Steel, who has positive convictions and who has been one of the most effective and valuable legislat- DTS the Territory has ever had, the candidacy of MT. Gardner should mean very little to the voters of the First Division. The present Senator has proven himself. the prospective Senator has been tried, in measure and found wanting. Why make a change?
