In ordinary circumstances claimants for damages would have to prove that the vessel was unsea- ^ worthy when she left the last port and that the owners had not exer- . clsed due care lor the selection of officers. If they cannot prove this 1 matt tm coalent *Uh jgjm- " ey could be obtained from the sale of the damaged vessel after the ac- * cldeut.. In the case of the Titanic ? only a few life boats remain. It would be difficult to prove un- C der English laws that the floating * palace was unseaworthy, bdeause 1 those statutes are very favorable to ship owners.

Segregation In Newjersy T uherculosit What la designated by the Nation 1 Association for the Study and Pre entton of Tuberculosis, in a state lent issued today, as the most ad anced legislation In the campalgi gainst tuberculosis that has beei nacted by any state In the Unite* tatc^ If noi by any country in th< orld, is found in a bill just passe* y the New Jersey Legislature an* igned by Governor Wilson. The new law provides that tuber ulosls patients who refuse to obe: -xi lOBuiKiiuuB iHia aown oy im tate Board of Health concerning tb< reventlon of their disease, and thui ecome a menancc to health of thos* rlth whom they associate, ^hall b< ompuibory segregated by order o; he courts, in Institutions provide* ur this purpose. If such a patlen efuses to obey the rules and reR lations of the institution In whict e is placed, he may."be Isolated oi pparated from other persons and re trained from leaving the institu Ion." The law further provides tha II counties in the State of New Jer ay shall within six months fron prll 1st, make provisions in specia lstitutions for the care of all per >ns having tuberculosis in thew aunties. The state treasury will sul idise each county to the extent o: 3.00 a week for each person main lined in these institutions excep hose who are able to pay for th< laintenance. Commenting on this legislation th< iatlonal Association for the Stud] nd Prevention of Tuberculosis says hat this is the most advanced leg ilatlon of its kind that has ever beei nacted in this country by any stati rhlch provides for compulsory seg egation of dangerous cases of tu erculoals, is Maryland. The onl; lty in the United StateB which ha dopted a special* ordinance provid ag for compulsory removal of dang roun tuoerculoals caaeB, is San Fran isco. A few other cities, such a lew York, exercise this powqr unde ertain provisions of their sanitar; rdinance on the subject. The National Association declare: hat a consumptive who oxerclae ufflclent precautions in the dlspos 1 of his sputum need not be a men nee to anyone. The association goei urther. however. In saying . tha rhen a consumptive refuses to adop he proper method necessary to .pre ent the spread of bis disease, hi hould be forcibly isolated and seg egated in a special hospital prorid d for that purpose.
