DAMAGE SUITS ARE
TO Be INSTITUTED
Relatives of Those Lost on
Titanic Will Ask for
Large Sums.
National News Association

NEW YORK, April 20.-Damage
suits involving millions of dollars will
be filed against the White Star line
by those who lost relatives in the Ii
tanic disaster. Other damage suits
will be filed to secure compensation
for the personal loss of those who
We're saved.
AS result of the high speed at
which the ship was travelling when
she struck the berg which plunged
her to the bottom and the fact that
she had been warned of ice foes, and
that ]. Bruce Ismay. managing direct
or of the International Mercantile Ma
rine. owners of the White Star. was
on board, the opinion is held by law
yers that the Harper law which linn
its recoverable damage to the value
of the ship and the passenger and
freight receipts for the particular voy-
age on which the disaster occurred
would not apply in this case.
Maurice Leon, wall street lawyer,
whose cases have been largely of in
ternational character, has been re-
tdiueu IN Dendl1 OF nelTS OF some OF
the French victims and has already
begun to study the various legal as
poets of the disaster.
There is precedent in a supreme
court decision, written by present
chief justice White upon the occasion
of the Bourgoyne disaster in the fol-
lowing court decree:
Every steamer now on the ocean
shall be provided with such number
of life boats, RATS, life preservers and
drags as will best secure the safety of
all persons on board"
AS there is physical evidence of the
shortness of life boats on the Titanic
Mr.. Leon believes that there is good
grounds for damage suits.
AS to the aggregate recoverable
amount even 1t were based upon the
provisions of the Harper law, this
sum will probably exceed SIS 200, 600.
The total monetary loss from the
disaster has been estimated as high as
s35, 900, 900.

FAMILY NARROWED

Every little river has an island all

This touching little ditty would
have been extremely apropos in the
case of Jonathan c. Evans and fami-

they awakened one morning this week
to find that the two foot bridges
leading from their island" in the mid
die of the Whitewater river to the
east bank had been washed away. The
cause of this distressing fact, it is be-
lieved, was the throwing of trash and
tops of limbs into the river at a point

Holes In Everything.

It Is held by more than one high
authority that matter is neither coll
tinuous nor homogeneous. Thomson
showed by an experiment that hydro
gen can be passed into a vacuum tube
through an incandescent platinum
window. In similar way sodium
passes through glass. and this Is a
useful fact in the manufacture of
vacuum tubes. because sodium can be
passed into the tube to absorb the
residual oxygen. Bellati. the Italian
physicist. has shown that hydrogen
can pass through cold iron. Matter
may therefore be generally regarded
as full Of holes.
