The Question of
Responsibility
WILL BE DECIDED BY THE COURT
OF ADMIRALTY.
SUIT FOR H -AVY DAMAGES
Brought by White Star Line Against
Italian Line-Owners Of Florida
Bring Suit Against the Republic.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Just which ship
was responsible for the collision be-
tween the White Star liner Republic
and the Italian liner Florida. off Nan
tucket, and which company shall pay
the damages, will be decided by the
court of admiralty.
Blame for Collision Placed on Florida,
Both companies filed suits today.
The owners of the Republic claim DAM
ages of 100000 and recite, in con-
else legal form, the story of the mar
velous sea disaster. The blame for the
collision is placed on the Florida and
the contention is made that the latter
ship was steamlng at IAN immoderate
rate of speed" when the crash came.
Florida Owners File Libel Suit.
The owners of the Florida also fled
libel suit and a petition for a limita-
ition of liability against the Florida.
The petitioners ask that their liabil-
ity, in case the suits are decided
against them, be placed at S224,000,
the value Of the damage to the F'lori-
da.
Later the Florida's owners applied
for and obtained an order from Judge
Adams in the UH4Aed States circuit
court staying all suits for damages
against the steamship Florida on the
ground that their petition for limita-
ton of liability probably had been fled
before the s2.O00,CO0 libel suit of the
Oceanic Steamship Navigation COM
pany.
In their suit proper the Florida
owners allege that the collision was
due to the neglect of the Republics
officers.
Italian Captain and Crew Should Re-
ceiVe Some Praise.
c. B. Richards & company, agents
for the Lloyd-Italiano line, to which
the Florida belongs, believe that Cap
tain Ruspini, his officers and crew
should come in for some of the praise
that has been bestowed upon the OFF,
GERS of the Republic. In a statement
issued tonight they point out the
bravery and humanity displayed by
Captain Ruspini, who. despite the fact
that his vessel was sorely damaged.
stood by the Republic for more than
twenty-four hours, rescuing the pzs-
sengers from the Republic and then
transferring them to the Baltic when
that ship reached the scene. The
statement is made that had the Baltic
not arrived Captain Ruspini would
successfully have brought his over
crowded ship into this port.

in the green tops of the laurel trees

artificial flowers.

THE "sALoME" DANCE ?
BY MISS MARY GARDEN.
Those Who Expected to Witness the

"Salome," which had been Anticipated

son. was given at the Manhattan opera
house tonight in the presence o. a
brilliant audience which had paid
double prices for the privilege Of
hearing it.
The music drama. which is written
on a theme furnished by Oscar
Wlldes poem, had a previous presenta-
ton in New York two years ago at the
Metropolitan opera house but the
Dance of the Seven Wells" which
forms one of the chief features OF the
opera, aroused such criticism that Af-
Ter a single performance the work was
withdrawn from the Metropolitan rep
ertoire and never repeated.
Tonight's rendition differed I'm many
respects from the one given two years
ago. particularly as regards the IA
nous dance, and gave absolutely no Of

tablished by Nine. F'remstad, who Gre
ated the role OF "Salome" In the Metro

GREAT FREIGHT RATE WAR
May Result from Action of the Boston
& Maine.

Baltimore, Jan. 2s.-Oficials Of the
Baltimore & OhiO railroad refused to-
day to comment upon the action of the
Boston & Maine railroad which yes
terday notified the interstate commerce
commission that it would insist on a
freight rate of 81 cents per hundred
pounds from Boston to the west, the
same as from Baltimore.
Opinion in local railroad and ship
ping circles, however, is that the ac-
tion of the Boston & Maine leaves no
avenue for escape from great freight
rate war.
The Baltimore G. &Ai5 railroad
against which the Boston & Maine ap-
parently has chiefly directed its action.
has not yet adopted any retaliauoiy V
measure, but there is little doubt that
it will lower its tariff to meet the cut
of the Boston & Maine.
This, it is expected, will be followed
by similar action by the Philadelphia
and New York lines, and later by those
in Canada and roads centering at New
OsieanS.
