AMERICAN MOTHER LOSES
APPEAL TO BRITISH COURT
Ignorance Of Law No Excuse,
Judge Rules, in Steamer otranto
Litigation.
BY the Associa ted Press.


LONDON, January 23-In proceed
ings originally instituted by the
American government against the
Peninsular and Oriental Steamship
Company. the appeal court dismissed
an appeal of Mrs. Trimpe, the mother
of an American soldier drowned in
October, 1918. when the steamer
Otranto, carrying a large number of
American soldiers, was sunk off the
coast of Scotland in a collision with
the steamer Kashmir.
The appellant had asked for an ex-
tension of time for the bringing Of
her claim against the steamship COM
pany, Notwithstanding that the two
years legal time limit had expired.
The appeal court upheld the judg-
ment-of the lower court that the mere
fact that the appellant was ignorant
of her legal rights did not constitute
ground for extending the time for
filing a claim. During the hearing 1t
was said that $50 claims were de-
pendent on the courts decision.
The Otranto and the Kashmir came
into collision early in October, 1918.
Nearly 400 American soldiers were
drowned. Many OF the bodies were
washed up on the shore of the Island
of 'lslay. where they were buried.

Washington. - Intoxicating liquors,

within three miles Of the shores of the
United States, the Supreme Coure held
In a decision which declared, however,
that outside the three-mile limit Amer
lean vessels can legally sell intoxicants
to passengers. The right Of foreign
shops to do so had not been ques-
toned. e..
The opinion, rendered in ten cases

Reynolds dissented. Justice Sutherland
In n dissenting opinion agreed with the
majority of the court in reference to
American ships, but declared that for
eign vessels had the right to bring liq-
uors into American ports under restrlc-
lions adequately guarding against leak

The effect Of the decision was to af-
firm that of Federal Judge Hand In

opinion of Attorney General Daugher-
ty that intoxicants could not legally
be brought Into American ports, and to
reverse 1t with regard to the right Of

The court pointed out specifically
that Congress has the power, II 1t sees
fit to exercise 1t, to forbid all ships
flying the American flag to carry and
serve liquors outside the three-mile
limit. This view Of the court resulted

"Where is Its mother7' sez the
colonel. "Why isn't she here, takin'

like she ought to be1"
"She's In the front car, sir" sez the
young woman, chokin' up. "She's In
the front car--in a box, dead; we're
takin' the body nd the baby back

The colonel didn't wait for no sec.
ond thought. he Jest reached out his
big bony hand md he sez: "Young
woman, 81 me that baby" sez 1t so
quiet nd 80 gentle like that 1t wuz
the baby's mother that wuz speakin'.
The colonel took the baby and
now maybe you won't believe me
the colonel held that baby nd rocked II
In his arms nd talked to It like 1t had
been his own child. And the baby
seemed to know that II lay agln' q

sez he, "you 90 ahead nd tell the con.
