TITANIC CLAIMS In
BAD LEGAL TANGLE
Under Judge HOIt'S Ruling
Many Suits for Loss Of
Life May be Barred

NEW YORK, April 25.-Judge
Holt's decision dismissing the petit
tition of the Oceanic Steam Naviga-
ton Company, Limited, owners Of
the Titanic, that the company's liza
bility be limited under the American
laws, has raised a curious kink in
the situation for those who have
failed to file suits for losses in the
State courts.
There are 3S1 claimants for dam
ages for loss by death and it is pos
. sible that under Judge Hollis deci-
sion 100 of these will never have the
chance to sue, as under the British
law. under which Judge Holt has de-
cided the suits must be brought, a
claimant for damages because of
death must file a suit within II
months of the death.
Lawyers say that while there is no
precedent to the present situation,
the law in the matter is plain, and
those who have failed to bring suit
are barred from claiming damage. In
view of the fact that the Federal
courts decided some months ago that
ell that was necessary for a person
to do who had a death claim was to
file the claim with a United States
Commissioner, and that the 3S1 per-
sons having death claims did this,
many think that the plaintiffs have
done all they could.
In January of this year A. Leonard
Brougham, attorney for Mrs. Eliza
beth Natsch, whose husband died on
the Titanic, filed suit for $250,000 in
the State courts. He was fined 5000
for his action by Judge Hough, who
held that he had acted in contempt
of court for bringing the very suit
which it is now thought is necessary
TO have his request for damages heard
at all.
The present situation does not af-
feet those who are suing because OF
property losses, as the year limit
does not apply to them.
If the United States Supreme Court
upholds Judge Holt in his decision
that American law does not apply in
limiting the liability of the Titanic
owners, the next move will be for
the company to petition the court to
limit its liability under the British
Admiralty laws if the company wants
to do this. In case it did it would
have to deposit S3,000,000, the amount
of limitation, With the court, and it is
possible that the company will prefer
to fight out the individual suits in
court
If the United States Supreme Court
reverses Judge Holt, the $50 claim
ants who want damages for deaths
but who have failed to file suits, will
be entitled to their share of the dam
ages they can prove. but all of the
damages of the 3S1 who claim death
damages will be limited to $4,000.
