SMALL HOPE OF DAMAGES
Court Decisions against Money Re
couerY IN Such Disasters.

Lawyers familiar with admiralty practice said
yesterday that there little hope OF recover
ing damages from the owners OF the General
socum. In order TO encourage the merchant
marine there was passed several years ago
law which limits the recovery OF damages in
case OF a vessel laundering to the actual value
OF the vessel.
In a case like this to-day" said a lawyer TO
a Tribune reporter yesterday, all the owners
need TO do is 10 say to the first claimant for
damages: We have turned what is left OF the
SlOcum over 10 the United States government
Any verdcts for damages VIII have TO be salts
fed with the value of the vessel as turned over
Our liability stops with transferring the boat TO
the government.
This is the statute that was invoked when the
French liner BourSogne was lost. and recently
in the Federal Court in Brooklyn a defendant
took advantage of the same law.
The BourSoEne sank I'm a collision with the
Cronartyshire. off Sable Island. on July 1. 1898
more than one hundred and fifty suits for dam
ages in connection with the disaster came up in
the United States courts and the Supreme Court
of this State. There were fifty similar suits in
courts. Only In the English courts were there
any decisions against the French Line
On March 80. 1900 Jones & GOWN Of No *
Cedar-st. attorneys for the French Line cot an
States District Court restraining all actions N
the United States courts against the French
Line. The court held. IN granting the injunc-
ton, that liabilities, under the federal law were
limited 10 the value of the ship in her injured
condition. with the freight. AS the ship and in
cluded freight were total loss. it was held
that the liabilities were nothing.
The test case in France was that OF the widow
of Paul Rese, who sued for 100000 francs y
verdict for 100000 francs granted to her in
the lower courts but the decision was reversed
the company nor the ships officers could be held
responsible for the catastrophe.

THE CHURCH'S HISTORI.

School First Planned.

The disastrous excursion was the seventh an
nual outing of the Sunday school Of ST. Marks
German Evangelical Lutheran Church, az NO

the pastor. The excursion was in charge OF
committee of the church. headed by MISS May
Abendschein. Of No. SO East Eighteen1h-st
The church has an interesting history some
time in the forties certain Germans on the Eas'
Side conceived the idea of founding German
school in their district. They eventually de-
cided that they needed l church rather than
school and the present church is the resuiI;
In the beginning. when the Rev. y Fl. NJ Hela
organized the congregation. they rented tne
present building in Sixth-st.. between FRS.
and Second ayes. They paid a yearly rental Oh
$50 which was la ter increased 10 S25O
In 1873 Mr.. Held resigned, and Herman
RaeEner was called 10 I'LL his place
In the course OF a few years the property
was bought.
Connected with the church IS a day school
acconlnnoda ting some hundred pupils. In Sd-
dition the church boasts a Freuen Nerein en-,
Gagged in charitable work. a Mission Verein ana
the Luther Lisa, q young folks league; AS
far back as 1897 the church recorded 2UVv

WORK OF THE CHARITIES BOATS.

Charities Commissioner Tully. as he
heard OF the catastrophe ordered the four boats Of
the Charities Department-the Vitality. the Gilroy
the Companion and the Wickham-to proceed at
once to North Brother Island and render whatever
aid they could. Mr.. Tully said last night he had
heard indirectly that they had given efficient help
Commissioner Tully also telephoned to Dock Com
missioner Featherson, who immediately gave orders
that the band the recreation pier at East Tween
ty-second-st. should discontinue its concerts until
all the bodies had been removed from the tenn
porary mOrgue at the Charities pier.

MADOO DIRECTS WORK.
Photographs of Bodies Taken By
FlaShHght.

Police Commissioner McAdoo. accompanied by
Secretary Howell. arrived at North Brother
Island early in the afternoon in the police boat
Patrol. After a quick survey OF the situation
he went TO the telephone and called up Com
missioner Tully OF the Department of Charities
and asked him to have at once erected al East
Twenty sixth-st.. close to the pier a temporary
morgUe for the reception OF the bodies sent from
North Brother Island This was TO be done he
explained later. not only to relieve the regular
Morgue from the great throng that was sure
to look for relatives for a week or more but
also because it was nearer the homes Of those
interested in the identification Of the bodies
Commissioner Tully at once agreed to Com
missioner McAdoo's suggestion. and said the
work would be begun at once.
Il have nothing but praise for Coroner O'Gor-
man." said Commissioner McAdoo. as he was
leaving the island in the launch Oneida. for
the great work he is doing. and for
his great assistance to US in another way. He
might have raised all sorts of obstacles by re-
fusing to allow the bodies to be transferred from
The Bronx Borough to Manhattan Borough: but
he has been broadminded and liberal in this
great emergency"
The Commissioner next called up a firm of
photographers and asked them to send at once
some men with cameras. to take hashlight
pictures OF the dead for identification. Some go
bodies were at the time laid out on the lawn
Owing TO the coldness of the water, they were
all in a good state Of preservation. and their
features and clothing. he said, could be recog-
nized by their friends if pictures were made at
once. Results would be different in twenty
four forty-eight hours after being taken from
the water.
The photographers arrived with two large
cameras at o'clock They took the first fash
light Of half dozen bodies in a group at $40
p m. and they continued until long after mid
night. The Commissioners plan was carried
out to the letter.
He said that he had sent for divers who when
they came. would report to Inspector AIbertson
and he took occasion To thank Commander
Franklin Of the LIST Naval Battalion. who so
promptly sent the two steam launches the

SMALL P0X AT GEYER
Four Families are Guaranteed

Small pox has broken out at Gayer,

Toe inf rmarv directors we're called

of the small pox epidemic which has
broken out in that village. Four
families have been affl cted with the
disease and twelve cases have SO far
developed. Tue chances are that
this number will be greatly increased
as it was several days after the first
case was discovered before quarau-
tine was established. In the mean
time the afflicted persons we're visited
by their friends and TO measures
were taken to prevent cpntagion.
The disease is supposed to have
been introduced by a young man
from Dayton who visited in that viii
lage W, sk or so ago. Four men,
bers of Widow WtnegardneI IS family

pretty well developed Cases an
