DEAD BOYS PARENTS
ARRIVE
MR.. AND MRS. n. p. BARRlNGER
ARE HERE FROM ARLEE-
MOTHER FRUSTRATED.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. p. Barringer, par
ents of Hudson Barringer. the Swear
old boy who died as the result of an
attack made on him by two dogs, ar
rived last evening on No. from Ar
lee. Announcement of funeral arrange
ments will probably be made today.
The father brought the body of his
child to Missoula Tuesday and then
left for Arlee, having sent message
to his wife telling her Of the child's
awful death.
When he arrived at Arlee he found
that the message had never been re-
ceived. He was forced to secure sad
die horses and strike out into the
hills, where his wife, with two other
children, both girls, was living on q
claim. He was forced to tell the story
of the boys death without any prelim-
mary to break the shock. Then he
started back to Arlee and last even
ing the whole family reached Missoula.
The mother Is frantic with grief.
The story of the death of Hudson
Barringer, as told In The Muscular
on Tuesday morning, has attracted
much attention throughout the state
and has caused much sympathy for
the Barringer family. The tragedy. by
It's very unusualness, has caused par
ents In all parts of Montana to exer-
else more care over their children and
so, perhaps, little Hudson BarringeI
did not die in vain.

NEW YORK.

New York. Jan. 27.-There was a

ors Oh Tie reeent disaster sateIy into
port. Several hundred seameu, prln-
clpally Gown De.oW men,, croWoed
INTO the rooms and discussed incidents
OF the crash, wnle they listened to
the music.
e. ". 4. Thurston, first British vice
consul at this port, addressed the crew
OF the RepuDllc late yesterday alter
noon. outlining their rights and priv
iieges and explaining Wnal they could
expect from the White Star line in
accordance with the laws OF the mer-
chant marine. The men had voiced
some complaint Wnen it became known
mat their wages stopped Wnen the
Republic sank; that is, that they were
to be locked for lost time because of
| the accident. Mr.. Thurston said that
the men could not reasonably expect
to receive pay during the time occu-
pied on their return trip to Liverpool,
whittier they will be taken free, prob
ably on the Baltic on Saturday. The
full amount of wages will not be paid
until the men make application for
for it in Liverpool, but the company
will advance small amount of money
to those who are in need.
The promise was made of certain
employment by the White Star line
In the future, although it was hoped
provision would be made for ALL
Attorneys for both the White Star
line and the Lloyd Italian, the latter
owners of the Florida, are preparing
for a battle in the courts arising be-
cause of the accident. Litigation in
volving approximately 100000 will
probably be thrashed out, but which
vessel was to blame for the disaster
will be settled first by court of in
quiry. If the Florida was to blame
the Republics owners may libel her
to the value Of the boat and the pas
senger and freight receipts. This holds
true in the event the Republic being
found at fault.
But the Lloyd Italian line may re-
cover only the amount which the Flor
Ida was damaged. Although the White
Star line may be sued by passengers
who were injured in the collision oc
for the deaths of passengers, as there
is no law governing loss of life on thu
nigh seas, it is doubtful If any such
suits will be brought.
According to stfpulations on the
back of each ticket, the passengers
may recover only 800 each on their
baggage, although many lost far
ercater amount The total loss on bag
gage and personal effects is variously
estimated at from $4,000 to s250,0o0.

asserted his determination to stick to
the policy of the open saloon for that
city.
The Milwaukee executive contended
that the eulogy of Milwaukee INDUCED
in by President Roosevelt in a recent
conversation, wherein the latter COM
mented on it's absence of crime and
the infrequency of drunkenness, was
founded not on the fact that it is
largely a German community but be-
cause the wide-open policy eliminates
the desire of possible inebriates to

chance.
