WANT DAMAGES
FOR LIVES LOST
ON S. S. SOPHIA
Suit for $50,900 was filed in the su
perior court at Seattle recently
against the Canadian Pacific Hallway
Company by Katherine Somerset, as
administratrix of the estate of Henry
Albert Somerset, who lost his life in
the wreck of the defendant company’s
steamship, the Princess Sophia, on
October 26. This is the first suit filed
there growing out of the wreck, in
which more than 340 persons lost
their lives, and from which not a
soul was saved. The action is brought
through Attorney William Martin and
the law firm of Myers & Johnstone.
A second complaint, drawn at the re
quest of Mrs. Bessie T. Kendall,
widow of Alexander W. Kendall, who
lost his life in the same wreck, waB
drawn, but not filed. This complaint
asks $20,000.
The complaint charges that the
Princess Sophia left Skagway for Van
couver on October 23 at 10 o’clock
p. m., during a blinding snowstorm
and blizzard, and continued on her
journey until October 24, when she
struck Vanderbilt reef, in Lynn canal.
The danger of Lynn canal and the ,
presence of the rock were both well :
known to the defendant company, ac
cording to the complaint.
It is charged that after the Princess
Sophia struck the rock, and during
the time that she hung there for forty
hours before she was swept off, and
all on board perished, the passengers
were prevented by Captain Locke,
master of the vessel, from attempting
to save themselves in the lifeboats.
Other boats came to the rescue, the
complaint charges, some coming as
near as fifty feet, but when passen
gers attempted to get into the life
boats and make their way to safety
on the rescuing craft they were driven
below decks by Captain Locke and
his officers. The complaint states that
many passengers insisted that an at
tempt be made to remove them.
According to the allegations of the
complaint, Captain Locke communi
cated by wireless with the defendant
company at Vancouver and Victoria,
B. C., and that the company ordered
the steamship Princess Alice to pro
ceed from Victprla to the rescue of
the stranded ship. Though the Jour
ney was fully sixty hours, it is
charged that the company instructed
Captain Locke to keep his passengers
aboard until the arrival of the Prin
cess Alice. The rescue ship sent out
by the company larrived after the
Princess Sophia had founded and
sunk.
In their attempts to escape, which
were frustrated by the action of the
ship’s officers, according to the com
plaint, many of the passengere were
bruised, cut and injured, and either
in this manner or by drowning when
the vessel foundered, the plaintiff al
leges, her husband lost his life.
The sum of $50,000 Is asked for
the loss of the life of her husband
by Mrs. Somerset, and the $900 is
the amount of money which she al
leges he had on his person.

LETS OUT WOMEN CLERKS j
LONDON, Jan. 5 (by mail).—Eight :
hundred women clerks employed by :

while another felt that they were “ex- •:
cellent and charming,” but they could J
not “work under pressure.”
