Clnims Made Against Owners Of

Especial to The Times-pispatch.

Especial to The Times-D Dispatch.
Norfolk, Va, January 20.-Suit for
claims aggregatinE $4,000 against tho
owners OF tho British steamer Indra-
kula, which ran into and sank the
steamer Luckenbach In Chesapeake
Bay, on January 3. 1913. began In tho
Federal court today. Fourteen lives
We're lost when the Luckenbach went
down.
The claims are filed by owners of
the vessels cargo and relatives OF
members OF the crew who lost their
lives. The case will be on trial for
several days. Counsel said the lndra-
lsula was proceeding down the bay and
the Luckenbach going in tho opposite
direction. Both sides seemed to agree
that shortly before the accident one
of the Merchants and Miners steamers
passed, proceeding In the same direc-
ton with the Luckenbach, and that the
Luekenbach was at the time OF the
collision heading to the westward in
tending to go TO anchor. The lawyers
for tho 1ndraItula said that she had
slowed down ready to anchor. and that
the Luckenbacl changed her course and
attempted running at full speed to
pass ahead, cross the bows OF the In :
drakula. Both vessels charge failure
upon the part OF the other to sound
proper fog signals, maintain n good
lookout and proceed at Il sufficiently
reduced rate of speed.
