LIABILITY
TRIAL Is STARTED
More Claimants Withdraw
From Proceedings Here and
Will Sue in England.
LIMIT OF S97,722 ASKED

The action begun by the white Star
Line in the fall of 1913 to limit Its
liability for the sinking of the Titanic
to s97.722 under the United States Ad-
miralty laws was brought to triS be-
fore Judge julius NJ. Mayer Of the
United States District Court yesterday
after many delays.
At the beginning of the trial 1t was
announced that several more OF the
claimants had decided to take advan-
tage OF a recent decision OF the United
States Circuit Court OF Appeals permit
ting those who suffered loss through
the steamship disaster to withdraw their
claims here and start suit In England.
where they may be able to get more
substantial damages.
Among those who withdrew at the
last moment were Mrs. Charlotte u. NJ.
Cardeza and Harry Cardeza Of Ger
mantown. Pa. Mrs. Cardeza submitted
the largest baggage claim-s177.352 for
the loss OF her wardrobe and other per-
sonal effects.
Charles c. Birmingham. proctor for
the White Star Line. opened the case
by outlining facts which, In his opinion,
entitled the company to a limitation
under the FEDERAL law limiting liability
In case Of sea disarters TO the amount
Of the passenger and freight money

cred. provided the vessel liz not wrecked

safe. While in the ice field Oft New
foundland, he argued. additional watches
were established and other safety meas
ures taken To avoid i.ebergs.
George w. Belts, Frederick VI. Brown.
A. Gordon Murray and G. Leonard
B~roughham. attorneys for the claimants,
contended that the Titanic was not
properly constructed with "A view to ABB
solute safety. as her watertight doors
were not as strong as they should nave
been and as she was without watertight
decks, longitudinal b%ulkheads or an in
ner watertight skin.
Moreover, Attorney Belts said the IT,
,anic ran through the ice field at a
speed OF twenty-five and one-half nauti-
cal miles an hour. which would have
been too high under the circumstances
even waving the consideration that the
captain had received warning wireless
messages which had caused other nip
TO change their course to avoid iceberg
To prove his contention that the shiI
had foundered with the privity of the
owners he cited the fact that J. Bruce
Ismay. then managing director OF tbs
White Star Line. was aboard the vesseI
and made no attempt to reduce hei
speed.
On these and other grounds the claim
ants moved for the dismissal of the
White star Lines petition. but Judge
Mayer denied the motion. preferring &c
hear the evidence. which will last for a
number OF days. The remainder Of yes
terday's session was consumed in read
ing from the testimony taken at LORI
