A Battle Over
 Titanic Suits
CASE TO BE ARGUED IN SUPREME
 COURT TODAY.
INTRICATE QUESTIONS
Defendants Seek to Have Liability Limited to seo,ooo-Piaintiffs Want Them to Face Claims of s1s,ooo.o 900.

Washington, Jan. 12@Conpensation for the stupendous loss of life and of property when the steamship Titanic sank will come before the supreme court for decision tomorrow. On the outcome Of the argument of sonae of Americas leading admiralty lawyers will depend whether the Oceanic Steam Navigation company. ther owner Of the Titanic,m must face the payment of some S13,000, 900 of claims. or whether it's liability is to be limited to some s9o.- 900.
 Intricate Questions of Law.
 Intricate questions of law, which have perplexed legal minds of the United States and Great Britain ever since the Titanic's maiden voyage was ended by the iceberg's fatal blow, and which have not yet been decided by decision.
 To Limit Liability.
 The Navigation company seeks to have the American court hold the ad- miralty laws and rules of the United States applicable to the case, and thereby limit the liability of the com pany to the salvage from the wreck and the passenger and freight money received on the voyage. amounting in all to some 10000.
 Score of Lawyers to Appear.
 Claimants seeking to recover for loss of lives, baggage and freight have de- spatched about score of lawyers to the supreme court with their briefs in their behalf. Every inch of the ground upon which the Navigation company is passing its claim to a limitation of liability is to be contested.
 Some of the Contentious.
 In the first place 1t is claimed that Ar,,a -r~avz low AAa1 r1k the disaster occurred on the high seas. Furthermore, it As contended that the American law contemplates limitation of liability only when the disaster re- suits from the collision of two vessels and not when it occurs from striking an iceberg. Some of the lawyers also argue that British law fixes the Habii- fly of the owner. becanse the Titanic carried the British flag, and that the supreme court should 50 uphold.
