TITANIC DAMAGE SUITS
SETTLED FOR $4,000
Court Grants White Star Line
Petition, Limiting Liability.

Granting the petition of the White
Star Line for Limitation of liability for
the loss of the Titanic, Judge Mayer
brought an end yesterday, in the
United States District Court, to litiga-
ton arising from the catastrophe.
Claims aggregating Sls,000,0O0 had
been brought against the company.
Under a compromise, made outside OF
court, however, the claimants agreed
to withdraw their opposition to the
Limitation of liability in consideration
Of payment to them Of about $500 900.
In asking for the limitation under
the American statute, the steamship
company deposited with the court
Sl17,101.35 as the equivalent of the
freight and passage money collected
and the value of the lifeboats that
were saved. This money das returned
Yesterday, upon the filing of the decree.
The claimants alleged in their suits
that the Titanic was lost through the
negligence of her navigators and with
the privity and knowledge Of her own
ers. This allegation was oyerruled by
Judge Mayer.

Characterizing the military policy Of
President Wilson as one Of mastery
inactivity" United States Senator A B.
Fall, of New Mexico. asserted yester-
day that II the troops are kept on the
border until after election the people
must draw their own conclusions con-
cerning it's political significance.
Senator Fall, who had a two-hour
talk with William X. Wilcox, chairman
of the Republican National Committee.
has studied the Mexican situation and
conditions on the border. He had a
talk with Governor Hughes and Theo-
dore Roosevelt, but denied he had ad-
vised Hughes to interject policy OF
Intervention into his acceptance speech.
After the last three months on the
border, Senator Fall said, he is still
strongly in favor of Intervention with
strings" He explained this by stating
that he was in favor Of going into
Mexico, taking charge Of affairs,
placing some one in power who could
restore peace and then Withdrawing
without acquiring one foot of territory.
Mexico the Big Issue.
"The Mexican question" said the
Senator, "is an issue in the campaign

nue. and tariff. / did not come here to

in Congress last March a resolution
calling upon the President to seize

make the Mexicans catch the bandits,
force the holding of an election, and
then clear the United States soldiers
from the country. He observed yes
terday that the resolution was "either

Hughes League of Refugees.
Concerning charges that capitalists
in Mexico were backing the Republican

"Hughes and intervention" Senator
Fall asserted that several days ago at
San Antonio 300 refugees formed
Hughes League, and there was not an
American who had fed from Mexico
who was not for Hughes.
The Senator was also asked his opln-
ion concerning whether Carranza Is as
bad a head of the Mexican government
as Huerta was reputed to be.

replied. "a murderer might have some
good qualities that a thief lacked.
So far as the soldiers on the border
are concerned. Senator Fall SAID they
