which Is revived in the Treaty of 1928.
The portion governing this reads;
"And to prevent entirely NIL disorder

HEIRS ABANDON HOPE;

Lawyers Say Oath of Sailing on
Lusitania Sufficient to Prove
Death.

The abandonment OF hope on the part
of relatives of Philadelphlans on the Lu-
eitania that any Of those listed as miss
ing" eventually would be found saved
was made evident today by preparations
for settlement OF estates Of the dead.
In regard to the legal length OF time
a relative must wait before the legal pre-
sumption of death Is established. so that
letters Of administration may be taken
out, lawyers said that letters could be
taken out after the applicant had proved
that the decedent booked passage on the
