A novel point in admiralty law was
raised In the answer filed in the United
states District Court yesterday by
Charles c.. Hardwick. q Lusitania claim
ant. to the Cunard Steamship Company's
petition for a Limitation Of It's liability
in the Lusitania disaster to Ss1.2ss.
Hardwick, who lives In orange. n. j..
and was a passenger on the Lutitania,
asserts the line II not entitled elimination
because IT failed TO stipu!ate Its readi-
ness to turn over to the cou whatever
reimbursement II may recover against
the Imperial German Government. The
line. Hardwick AYERS, should also have
surrendered to the court all Its interest
In the Lusltania. namely. In the wreck
age recovered plus the freight and pas
senger money
Hardwick also raises the points cited
by other claimants to the effect that the
line was negligent In falling to heed
warnings about submarines. The CON-
pany. he says. failed to exercise the
highest degree OF human care. prudence
and foresight In the carriage OF Its pas
sengers."
BY a previous order OF the court yes
terday was to have been the last day for
fling claims against the company. but
Judge Mayer signed q supplementary or.
