Despite Presidents Two MesHaE aEes
House VIII Not Pass Reme-
dial Measures.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-Even a second
veto message has not convinced members
OF the house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce OF the entire wisdom OF
the presidents views on the granting of
dam privileges on waters under the con-
troll OF the United States. and as a result
it is almost certain that there will be no
remedial legislation at this congress
The main point of difference between
members Of congress and the executive
arises out of the presidents proposal to
tax the party constructing the dam for
that privilege. While the committee seems
willing to agree to license fee Il hesi-
tates TO concede to the desirability and the
constitutionallty of an annual tax on the
use OF the waters.

INSULT TO FLAG is DENIED

WASHINGTON, Jan, 2s.-Reporting upon
the recent riots in Prague, Ambassador
Francis OF Austria Hungary takes occasion
to deny the report that an American flag
vas torn into strips and trampled in the
mud. The riots were the result OF the sd-
vertised laying of a cornerstone OF a new
German university in Prague. The Bohe-

played together, says Mr.. Francis. but the
rioters tore down only the flag Of England
and left the starry banner in its place
These facts were established after an in

REPUBLIC OWNERS In COURT
Sue Proprietors of Steamship Florida
for Heavy Damages.
CHARGE LATTER WAS AT FAULT
Libel Asserts Italian Boat Was
Running at ImmOderate Speed
and Failed to Give Warm
Ing Signals.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.--Counsel for the
Oceanic Steamship Navigation company,
owners of the White Star line steamer
Republic, today filed libel suit in the
United States district court against the
steamer Florida of the Lloyd-Italiano
line, which ran down and sunk the Re
public off Nantucket lightship. Dam
ages amounting to $1,500,000 for the loss
of the ship and S500,00O for the loss of
the cargo and effects of the passengers
and crew were claimed. 1t was asserted
in the libel that the collision was due
to no fault on the part of Captain Sealby
of the Republic, but wholly to the fault
of - the Florida, which, IL Is alleged,
did not keep proper course, had no suf-
ficent lookout, did not give proper
whistles nor pay heed to the whistles
of the Republic; that the Florida failed
to indicate it's change of helm; that it
was proceeding at an immoderate speed
and did not stop or back its engines.
The assertion was made that when the
officers of the Republic first heard the
whistles of the Florida in the fog the
Republics engines were run full speed
astern and that it's helm was put aport.
Shortly afterward the Florida appeared
broadside off the Republics portside,
tearing down at right angle below amid
ships
In the effort to escape the blow" de-
clared the libel, "the master put the en-
gines of the Republic ah cad, but the
Florida came on at a high rate of speed,
apparently swinging under a starboard
helm, and crashed head-on into the port
side of the Republic, penetrating into the
engine ROOM
ReuuhIic Raining slowly.
II was also asserted that at the time
of the collision the Republic was run
ming at reduced speed; that the captain
two officers, a quartermaster and sea
man were on the bridge with two look
outs.
Tue Florida, it is declared, struck the
Republic nearly a square blow and made
cut extending below the water line
starting the bulkheads. The top of the
Florida's bow passed above the Repub-
lies side platings, wrecked the cabinets
along the saloon and promenade decks
and killed two passengers and injured
others. The Republics bulkhead doors
were closed and the ship began to settle
The court is asked to condemn the
Florida and order the payment of $1,000
600 damages to the owners of the Re
public.
The Lloyd-Ttaliano Societe De Navi-
gatione, owners of the steamship Florida
also filed In the United States district
court a libel and petition for a Limitation
of liability against the Florida, its
freight and passage money. The papers
state that the collision was solely caused
by the faults and neglect on the part of
the Republic. The petitioners say that
damage value Of the Florida now does
not exceed s224,OOO and asks the court
to fix the liability at not more than that
amount

ceedings against the Florida, United
