Bowman, who d took the eyidence in the ess Sophia case, failed to fol- ‘u.\ the rules laid down by the court, and in arriving at the awards made in his recent findings of fact, |did not reach his conclusions as {fixed by statute, attorneys for the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pany argued their exceptions to the rmmlt Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer heard the arguments and took the matter undm advisement. ost At Sea The Pnn((‘», Sophia was lost in; Alaskan waters October 25, 1918. On Febru 28, 1919, the heirs of those lost at sea started suit against the company under the statutes of | Alaska, which limit the liability for a death of an adult to $10,000 and |for a child to $5,000. In reaching the damages, it was argued, the commissioner failed to follow the Alaska statute which | provides that the measure of dam- ages must be based upon earning capacity, prospective life, ability to save and accumulate money and other matters which would give llhe court an idea of what the per- son would have been worth if life had not been lost.
