TREASURE SHlP,
TURNED BACK BY
WAR, IS LIABLE
Court Holds That Owners Of
Bullion in Cargo May Re-
cover Damages.

= Boston. Nov 13.-The act OF Captain
Polack, of the North German Lloyd
steamer Kronprinzessfn Cecllle, IN
abandoning a. voyage from New YORK
to France and Germany and returning
hurrtedIy to Bar Harbor, Me-. on re-
ceipt OF a declaration OF war In 1914.
entitled the owners of 5000, 900 worth
Of gold bullion which was part OF the
steamers cargo, to recover damages,
the United States circuit court Of ap-
peals held today.
The court ruled, however, that
Charles w. Rantoul, Jr.. of New York,
and Maurice Hanssens. OF Belgium,
passengers, we're not entitled to dam
ages for the personal Inconvenience
caused by landing them at Bar Har-
Dor. instead Of at Cherbourg. France.
The effect of the decision Is to refer
the case back to the district court fer
trial on the basis Of the ruling by the
court OF appeals.
The National City Bank, Of New
York, which owned S,1S5,s ,s72 OF the
bullion cargo. and the G.1mantry Trust
company, of New York. which was
sending bullion valued at 1892. 9ss
abroad, are plaintiffs in the suit. The
former seeks damages Of $44s,SzS. and
the latter $1,O40,4S1 The kr1nflhzSS-
sin Cecilie, which ts now a refugee at
this port, has been Nbelled for these
several amounts.
The court in it's opinion stated that
determination of liability rested On the
question whether the Kronpffnzessin
Cecilie's captain acted under restraint
by foreign governments. Judges Dodge
and Bingham. held that in the absence
of any declaration of war when the
vessel turned about in nlid-ecean,
there was no restraint, judge Putnam
in dissenting centended that the con-
ditions obtaining at the time were
such as to cause restraint and to JUS
tify ths captain in reversing his
course.

The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1916-11-18

The papers in the case were issued
at Hartford last night and the Scott
Co, furnished the usual bond Of $3.50
cash to cover the costs Of the attach
ments. The order for attachment
was given to Deputy Marshal Timothy
Hawley, who went to New London to-
day and made service on the DeutscfsA
land.
The allegations Of the r. A. Scott
Co. against the Deutschland, in the
main. are:
That on November II, at 2:3o a.
m. the night being clear. the wind
north-northeast and moderate, the sea
choppy and tide running strongly at
flood, in the Race so-called, between
Race Point and Little Gull Island at
the entrance to Block Island, Sound,
the Deutschland was in collision with
the steam tug +. A. Scott, Jr.. in
which the latter was sunk and all the
crew drowned.
It is alleged further that the
Deutschland which had been holding
a parallel course on the port side Of
the tug suddenly sheered to starboard
and struck the tug, causing her to fill
and sink.
The faults alleged are:
That the Deutschland did not have
proper 1ookouts; that she did not have
a competent man on deck In charge
of the vessel; that she did not have
a competent man at the wheel; that
she suddenly changed her course SO
| as to bring her into~eollisipn with the
tug; that being an overtaking vessel
approaching more than two points
abaft the beam she did not keep out
Of the way of the tug; in not giving
proper consideration Of the force and
action Of the current in the Race, and
in allowing her bow to swing sudden.
ly to starboard, in not stopping and
reversing and thus avoiding the col-
k lision and in not having proper
lights.
AT the office OF the clerk Of the
court here it was stated that one Of
the parties who was interested in the
| filing of the libel papers, said that
the tug was struck on the port side
forward of amidship and just about
at the wheelhouse in which was Cap
tain Gurney and that the tug keeled
over to starboard and that Captain
Hinsch, who was saved, could not
swim and although in the water fully
ten minutes he was probably held up
by air which was under a heavy over
coat which he was wearing. 1t was
also pointed out that probably <the
only material witnesses of the accident
were Germans unless it is shown later
that the members Of the crew OF tho
Cassie which was astern or the keep
er of Race Rock Light were able to
see just what occurred.
WORKING ON U-BOAT.
New London. Nov. 1S-Herbert
FIilken, president of the Eastern For
warding/ Co., said this morning that
the damage to the submarine Deutsch-
land in the collision with the tug
T. A. Scott, Jr., had been greatly ex-
aggerated in the stories that have
been printed. He said that the only
real damage was the slight twisting
Of the bow. He did not know when
the repairs would be completed.
Captain Frederick Hinsch, who had
such narrow escape from drowning,
Is able to be out today but he Is very
weak as the result OF his experiences.
The T. A. Scott Co. men are still
at work on the submersible at tho
state pier. The United States steann-
boat inspectors will resume their fn-
vestigation Of the disaster next Wed-
nesday.

WILLS OF SOLDIERS
 CAUSE LEGATIONS
Associated Pressl

BERLIN, Mar 3.-Questions of the validity of soldiers wills, generally made in the field and often in the form of letters home, have given the civil courts some hard nuts to crack In more than one case the perfectly patent intention of the devisor has had to be ignored because he did not know how to draw up binding document.
 Two such cases have just been passed upon, and the verdicts have been opposed to each other through sheer accident. The first is that of a soldier who wrote from the trenches of France to his fiancee, telling her that if he should fall he wanted her to have one-half of his property. He sent second letter to her parents, which he signed, Your Son, Fritz" The first was signed, Your true Fritz"
 By accident rather than by design he wrote out in one of the letters his full name and address to indicate how letters to him should be made out. The court held that this accidental insertion of the full name legally es- tablished the identity of the testator, as his signature did not, and therefore upheld the validity of the letter-will
 A similar case went the other way because the letter was signed only by a Christian name. A mother sued in behalf of her daughter for half of a fallen soldiers estate, on the basis of letter signed only Heinrich" and not dated from any definiate place. Though there seemed to be no moral doubt of Heinrichs intentions, the court ruled against his fiancee.
