falling $4,000 Entered in
Southland Action

Compromise settlements amounting
to $4,000, growing out of the sink
ing Of the fishing vessel southland,
near Beaufort, N. c., on Nov. II,
1899, when ten men lost their lives
were recorded in a decree entered
by Federal Judge Luther B. Way
here today.
The settlements were in accord
ance with agreements reached by
attorneys in the cases Jan. 9, after
a trial which was ended when the
attorneys decided to compromise all
claims arising from the disaster,
which occurred when the Southland
was in collision with the barge Es-
pee No. 4, which was being pushed
by the tug Especo, in the inland
waterways channel near Beaufort.
Nine death claims were filed in

Ill members participated.
Although democratic leaders
said that even without amend

Portable majority for the measure,
they nevertheless were asking as
great a showing Of unit as pos

During today's session, friends
and foes of the measure had mixed
it up in some warm debate.
Pleading for passage of the
measure, Rep. Mccormack of
Massachusetts,, majority leader,
asked:
What do you think Nazi Ger

"A victorious Axis will demand
tribute of us in some way, and
unlike the crude method of tn e
pirates of the Barbary Coast of old,
they will exact tribute in a brutal,
vicious, ruthless modern manner"

invitation to an eventual attack
