PORTO RICO, act of April 12, 1900, §§ 33, 35 (see Jurisdiction, A 11): Kent v. Porto Rico, 113.
TARIFF, act of October 1, 1890, § 25 (see Customs Duties): Anheuser-Busch Assn. v. United States, 556.
TIMBER AND STONE ACT of June 3, 1878 (see Criminal Law; Public Lands, 3): Williamson v. United States, 425.
1. Recognition of claims not denied by the admiralty.
Where a fund is being distributed in a proceeding to limit the liability of the owners of a vessel, all claims to which the admiralty does not deny existence must be recognized, whether admiralty liens or not. The Hamilton, 398.
2. Right of seaman to recover for tort, in action brought under state statute- Damages recoverable.
Where both vessels in collision are in fault the representatives of a seaman on one of the vessels, killed without contributory negligence on his part, may, where a state statute gives an action against the owner of the other vessel, recover full damages, and are not limited to dam- ages recoverable under the maritime law against the seaman's own vessel for death or injury caused by negligence of the master thereof or his fellow servants thereon. Neither the seaman's contract with the owners of the vessel he is on, nor the negligence of his own vessel, nor any provision of the Harter Act affects the claim against the other vessel. Ib.
3. Enforcement in admiralty of state statute.
The statute of Delaware giving damages for death caused by tort is a valid exercise of the legislative power of the State, and extends to the case of a citizen of that State wrongfully killed while on the high seas in a vessel belonging to a Delaware corporation by the negligence of another vessel also belonging to a Delaware corporation. A claim against the owner of one of the vessels in fault can be enforced in a proceeding in admiralty brought by such owner to limit its liability. Ib.

See CONTRACTS, 2.
1. Immigration Act; application of § 18; deserting sailors.
Even though one who makes it possible for an alien to land by omitting due precautions to prevent it, may permit him to land within the meaning of the penal clause of § 18 of the Immigration Act of March 3, 1903,
12 Stat. 1217, that section does not apply to the ordinary case of a sailor deserting while on shore leave. Taylor v. United States, 120.
2. Immigration Act; effect of § 18 on sailors' shore leave.
This construction is reached both by the literal meaning of the expressions "bringing to the United States" and "landing from such vessel" and by a reasonable interpretation of the statute which will not be con- strued as intending to altogether prohibit sailors from going ashore while the vessel is in port. Ib.
3. Immigration Act; right of master of vessel to employ as sailor one ordered to be deported.
The fact that an alien has been refused leave to land in the United States and has been ordered to be deported does not make it impossible for the master of a foreign vessel, bound to an American port, subsequently to accept him as a sailor on the high seas. Ib.

APPEAL AND ERROR.
1. Application of rule as to joinder of parties.
The rule that all the parties must join in an appeal or writ of error unless properly detached from the right so to do applies only to joint judg- ments and decrees. This court has jurisdiction of an appeal taken or writ of error sued out by one of several defendants if his interest is separate from that of the other defendants. Winters v. United States, 564.
2. Right of one of several defendant trespassers to maintain separate appeal. In a suit against several defendants as trespassers in which some of them defaulted and others answered, held, that each defendant was a sep- arate trespasser and that while those who defaulted were precluded from questioning the correctness of the decree entered against them, the answering defendants had nothing in common with the others and could maintain an appeal without them. Ib.
3. Record; evidence not disclosed by, will not affect decision of court. On writ of error to review a final judgment in habeas corpus proceedings this court must determine by the record whether the state court erred and its decision cannot be controlled or affected by an apparent ad- mission of defendant in error that certain affidavits annexed to the
petition were used without objection as evidence. McNichols v. Pease, 100.
4. Record; necessity for showing that constitutional question was raised below. Application of rule to cases brought from Philippine Islands. Where a case is brought up from the Circuit Court on the ground that the construction or application of the Constitution of the United States is involved, the record must show that the question was raised for the consideration of the court below; and, under § 10 of the act of July 1, 1902, 32 Stat. 695, this rule-applies to writs of error to review judg- ments of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands. Paraiso v. United States, 368.
5. When writ of error from this court will run to inferior state court. Where the highest court of the State dismisses an application for writ of error for want of jurisdiction, the judgment of the lower court becomes the judgment of the highest court of the State to which the case can be taken, and the writ of error will properly run to it from this court. Sullivan v. Texas, 416..
6. Writ of error; parties; effect of failure of district judge to sue out or join in writ allowed by Circuit Court of Appeals after mandamus issued. Where the Circuit Court of Appeals after issuing mandamus to the district
judge requiring him to modify a decree so as to conform to the decision of this court, allows the party in interest a writ of error and the district judge declines to sue out or join in the writ, the writ will not be dis- missed because the district judge is not a party and the fact that he has obeyed the order will not prejudice the position of the plaintiff in error. Ex parte First Nat. Bank of Chicago, 61.
1. Laches in suing for fees excused when payment awaits an appropriation by Congress. Where one interested in attorney fees for collection of government claims
can expect nothing until the amount adjudged has been appropriated, laches will not be charged against him if he bring the suit for an account-
ing within a reasonable period after the passage of the appropriation act. In this case two years was not unreasonable. Earle v. Myers, 244.
2. Right of administrator, completing business of his intestate, to allowance for his and his intestate's services and expenses.
Where an administrator of an attorney performs services and incurs ex- penses in completing the business in which his intestate and another attorney were interested he should be allowed therefor and those serv- ices and expenses as well as those rendered and incurred by the intes- tate can be settled in one suit where the account has been treated by both parties as one account. Ib.
ATTORNEY AND CLIENT.
See CRIMINAL LAW; 1.
1. As to authority of District Court to control litigation by trustee.
The decision of this court in First National Bank v. Chicago Title & Trust Co., 198 U. S. 280, merely gave directions in general form to be carried out by the District Court and it was not intended to supersede the authority given to that court by the bankruptcy law to control litiga- tion by the trustee. Ex parte First Nat. Bank of Chicago, 61.
2. Appeals; application of general order XXXVI, clause 3.
Clause 3 of general order in bankruptcy XXXVI applies to appealable cases and must be complied with. Chapman v. Bowen, 89.
3. Appeals; when maintainable.
This appeal cannot be maintained because it does not come within either paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 of § 256 of the bankruptcy act. Ib.
4. Writ of error from state court; when not maintainable.
Where the decision below proceeds on principles of general law broad enough to sustain it without reference to provisions of the bankruptcy act, the question involved is not one which would justify a writ of error from the highest court of a State to this court. Ib.
