NOW— NAVY DEATH SUITS HELD PROHIBITED Solicitor General Declares Families of Sea Victims Have No Right to Sue. By the Associated Press. Officers and enlisted men of the Navy injured at sea on naval vessels and their familles when death results from the accident are prohibited from suing the Government for damages, the United States declared in a brief filed yesterday in the Supreme Court. ‘The brief was signed by Solicitor Gen- eral Mitchell and urged the court to refuse to review cases brought by the estates of Lieut. Rodney H. Dobson, captain of the submarine S-51, which went down off Block Island, R. I, after collision with the steamer City of Rome, September 25, 1925; of Lieut. James D. Haselden, jr., and Ensign Edmund W. rt. The United States contended that the decision of the lower Federal courts holding that these estates were precluded from suing the Government should be permitted to stand. Asserting that the disaster which took such a heavy toll of lives was caused by defective navigation lights on the submarine, the estates of the officers Pay All Bills at 8th & E Streets N.W.

The United States takes the position that Congress, having provided an elab- orate pension system for personal in- Juries and loss of life incurred by offi- cers and enlisted men in the Navy, did not intend that they should have fur- ther relief under the “public vessels act” which, the Government insists, was intended solely to permit suits against the Government by persons not aboard Government vessels for damages caused by such vessel HELD AS EMBEZZLER.
