SUPREME COURT RULES
 FOR ALASKA BARGE LOST

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9-In a long and highly technical admiralty opinion written by Chief Justice Taft the Supreme Court affirms the ruling of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and thus reverses the ruling of the District Court of Alaska in the case of the British Columbia Mills & Trading Company. Ltd. against A. w. Mylroie.
 Mylroie was owner of the barge Ban- gor. He engaged the British Tug Con- modore, owned by the British Colum- bia company to tow the barge from Washington to Anchorage, Alaska. In a storm, March 26th, 1917, the tow sep arated from the tug and was wrecked on Mary's island. Mylroie brought suit against the tug owners for damage, al leging negligence but lost in the trial court. The Circuit court of appeals re- versed this finding, holding that the tug was unseaworthy. It directed de- cree for the owner of the barge and sent the case back for assessment of damages. The Supreme Court affirms this finding.
