MALL DAMAGES FOR VICTIMS. OF DISASTER, Although the New York Central Paid $1,500,000 for Persons Slain in Tun- pe : nel Accident, Slocum Owners’ Lia- bility Is Limited to Value ot Boat. Under the laws of the United States thé surviving relatives of the victims of the Gen. Slocum disaster have practically no chance to recover anything from the owners of the boat, even though it can be shown that the employees of the Knickerbocker Steamboat Company were negligent and that the captain did wrong in running his boat a mile and a half be- fore beaching her. ‘All the interest the heirs and assixns of the dead have in any claim they : might wake against the Knickerbocker Steamboat Company 18 limited to the value of the hulk of the Gen. Slocum as it lies under water off Riker's Island. There is nothing left of the Slocum of more value than as junk, ‘ir. E. G, Benedict, of the firm of Benedict & Benediet, the noted admir- alty lawyers. said ‘to-day that the owners of the Gen, Slocum are liable for damages only to the value of the ship at the end of her voyage. To all intents and purposes the Gen. Slocum ended her voyage at the bottom of Long Island Sound, between North Brother and Riker’s Islands. The point is covered in section 4,283 of the Revised Statutes of the ¥ United States, which rads as follows: “Tho liability of the owners of any vessel for any act, matter or thing, loss, damage or iorfeiture, done, occasioned or ineurred, without privity or knowledge of the ', shall in no case exceed the amount of the valu of the interest of cuch owner in such vessel and her freight then pending.” J ————_—2 $2 $$ WIFE, THREE CHILDREN, _ FOUR RELATIVES LOST.
