Shipping Laws-Two Suits
Against the "fiewe.

| are lOI lhr
schooner Frank w. Howe and her mas
| ter, Captain S. B. Atkinson Two new
suits were instituted yesterday against
the vessel. and the prospects are that
the Howe will not go out of the hands
of the United States Marshal for
months to come.
There is already standing over the
skip a judgment for $3.50 obtained by
provisions, and yesterday two new suits
were instituted. claiming altogether the
sum of $1,211 from the owners of the
vessel.
David Hall and Edward Woods, the
sailors who obtained the Judgment for
short rations, and who now claim to
be suffering from scurvy, brought sec
ond suits for injuries resulting from
the voyage. claiming the sum of $4,000
each. The claim for damages was in
cIuded in the first suit against the
Howe, but Judge Estee declined to pass
upon that question until the sailors had
been released from the hospital. so that
the amount of damages could be ascer-
attorneys.
Three more members of the crew of
the Howe also put in claims for short
rations allowance yesterday, amounting
in all to $1211 Gill & Farley are the
attorneys and the plaintiffs in the case
are VIM. L. McAllister. the second
mate; John Coolagan and Francioli G..
c.. B. Pietre. The first two named
plaintiffs shipped from New York, while
Pietre did not board the vessel until she
reached Mauritius.
The plaintiffs allege that during the
voyage their allowance of provisions
was reduced by more than one-third of
the quantity specified by law, and that
such provisions as they were allowed
were not good and wholesome, but were
OF bad quality. and in this behalf the
libellants further show that the pro-
visions upon which principally and for
the greater part of the voyage they
were compelled to live, consisted of salt
beef and soft bread. each of which ar
ticles. by reason of defective prepara-
ton, was unfit to be eaten"
The libellants complain also of the
lack of sugar, lime juice. vinegar, cof-
fee. vegetables, etc, on the voyage.
VIM. L. McAllister for wages and
short allowance of provisions claims the
sum of 1927. Coolagan wants 1894 and
Pletre says he will be satisfied with the
sum of $3.50.
LEWIS, TURK AND YOUNG.
Information was filed Yesterday
Young, charging them with
the United States navigation
laws. The particular violation with
which they are confronted is the board
ing Of the American ship Arthur Sc
wall on April 10th, before she had been
passed by the customs officials. This
is said not to be the first offense of |
the kind of which the defendants were
guilty. and Collector Stackable had
warned them several times against a
-epetition.
When the defendants were arraigned
Il United States court yesterday after
noon William Young entered a plea of
guilty. He will be sentenced Monday
morning. Lewis and Turk did not have
IN attorney, but in response to Judge
5stee's questions. said they were able
o employ one. and the court refused to
accept a plea until they had consulted
With counsel. All the cases then went
'ver until Monday morning.
The punishment of the viola ton
harged against the defendants is a
Inc of not more than 800 or imprison-
nent for six months. or both within
he discretion of the court.
