FOUR OF SUNKEN SHIP'S GREW RESCUED AT SEA Fonnd Starving and Exhausted In Yawl Six Others Perished.

Tbj. Caracas bore down on the ynwl and found four men In it, almost xhausted. They were hauled aboard with lines and tho Caracas proceeded. After the men had been revived by drink and food Capt. Furst learned from them that they weru the survivors of tho crew of the four masted American schooner Hattle P. Simpson of Uoston, which foundered In heavy weather off Cape Lookout, about seventy-fiv- e miles south of Cape Hatteras, at 1 o'clock on Saturday morning. The survivors are Becond Mate FrcU Haslan, John Moreana, donkey engineer, and Seamen John Folmer and "Charles Nelson. Capt- - Furst so Informed the world ashore by wireless lost night. The Simpson sailed, from Philadelphia on March 10 with 1,860 tons of anthracite for Charleston. She ran Into a cyclone and sprang a leak, which kept the men at tho pumps for days. Another wljd storm smoto her a few days later and In the midst of It she suddenly sank, taking down with her her skipper, Capt. Strong, and flvo of her crew. Second Mate Haslan and the other survivors managed tu reach tho yawl, slung out over tho stern davits, and got clear of the Simpson Just before sho plunged to the bottom. It was impos- sible In the darkness for them to at- tempt to rescue any of their luckless shipmates, even if they were afloat Tho probability was that they were carried down In the whirlpool of the vanishing schooner. , After the disaster the survivors made an effort to get Into tho steamship track. Tho yawl was not provisioned and they drifted five days with nothing to eat and tlttlo to drink except the water from a friendly rainstorm. They were then neatly 200 miles from tho spot where the Simpson went down. CARTOONS TO FREE CONVICT. Prisoner's Art Wins Brmnatar f California's Uoversor. Sacramento, Cal March 20.

AGREES TO PAY BIG INDEMNITY "Substantial" Amount Will End Long "Goodwin Paten t' Fight. A settlement was reached yesterday In the long legal fight over the "Goodwin patent." the use of which Involved mill- ions of dollars of profit. Tho Eastman Kodak Company, alleged to have made uu of the Invention, will pay a "sub- stantial" amount of uioney,to tlie Ansce Company, which holds the patent.

"The settlement end the matter as far as the F.oatmnn Kodak Company und the Ansco Company are concerned," said Thomas W. Stephens, president of the Amto Company, last night In his home In Montclalr. "I cannot give out the exact terms of the settlement, other than to say that It was a substantial amount." This agreement, made at a conference In New York, ends a legal battle which has been going on since 1902, The Ansco Company brought suit against the K.ut-ma- n Kodak Company, alleging the defend- ant had made uso of tho 'Ooodwln pat- ent," which was controlled by the Ansco Company by virtue of controlling the Coodwln Film und Camera Company. The plaintiff w'on In tho Circuit Court and that court's decision was upheld by the Un'ted HtriteM Circuit Court of Appeals. That meant that unless It was possible for the llastman Company to carry the suit to tlu; United Stated Supreme Court It would have to account to tho Ansee Company for all cartridge films, dim packs and cinematograph lllms madu by It In the last fifteen jears. The settlement does away with tho necessity of this ac- counting.

EASTMAN CO. AGREES

TO PAY BIG INDEMNITY

"Substantial" Amount WillEnd Long "Goodwin

Paten t' Fight.

A settlement was reached yesterdayIn the long legal fight over the "Goodwinpatent." the use of which Involved mill-ions of dollars of profit. Tho EastmanKodak Company, alleged to have madeuu of the Invention, will pay a "sub-stantial" amount of uioney,to tlie AnsceCompany, which holds the patent. Howmuch will be paid In settlement Is notknown, but It Is expected to run Intomillions.

"The settlement end the matter as faras the F.oatmnn Kodak Company und theAnsco Company are concerned," saidThomas W. Stephens, president of theAmto Company, last night In his home InMontclalr. "I cannot give out the exactterms of the settlement, other than to saythat It was a substantial amount."

This agreement, made at a conferenceIn New York, ends a legal battle whichhas been going on since 1902, The AnscoCompany brought suit against the K.ut-ma- n

Kodak Company, alleging the defend-ant had made uso of tho 'Ooodwln pat-

ent," which was controlled by the AnscoCompany by virtue of controlling theCoodwln Film und Camera Company. Theplaintiff w'on In tho Circuit Court andthat court's decision was upheld by theUn'ted HtriteM Circuit Court of Appeals.

That meant that unless It was possiblefor the llastman Company to carry thesuit to tlu; United Stated Supreme CourtIt would have to account to tho AnseeCompany for all cartridge films, dimpacks and cinematograph lllms madu by ItIn the last fifteen jears. The settlementdoes away with tho necessity of this ac-counting.

Hwart tho political crisis so far its II

affects the present Government's retentionIn oOlce has not developed materially Inthe last twenty-fou- r hours, except trmt asthe criticisms of the extremists havo

less audible tlM Governments posi-

tion has become correspondingly moresecure.

It is obvious that the opposition can-

not turn out tin- - Cabinet, which, apartfrom tho defection In Its own ranks, can.within (onatltutlon.il limits, tlx Its owndate for retirement. For the purpose, ofpacifying tho objectors still furthir or,nccordlng to some reports, owing to theWar Minister's own Insistence, there Isa practical certainty that the Govern,ment will find another poet for Col. .1

K. U. Seely. The most favored specula-tion Is that he will chango posts withtho Hon. I'wls Harcourt. Secretary ofStato for the Colonic- -. Another Is thatJohn Hums. President of the Hoard ofTrade, who Is much Intt rested in militarymatteis, will go to the War oillce. Athird Is that Secretary of War Seely willquit tlio Cabinet altogether and that thelion. Lewis llaivourt will succeed him,while Huron Kmmott, Under Secretary otState for tho Colonies, will succeed Mrllanourt.

Tho talk of tho approaching dissolu-tion of Tnrllamiiil Is Inui easing in allquarters. Tho bulk of the opinion, whichIs supported by tho iisNiir.iuces which arereported to have lieen clcn to John Red-

mond, thV Irish Nationalist leadi r. Is thattho home rule bill nnd probably tho WelshditeMubllhhmeut nnd plural voting billswill bo passed first ami that this will befollowed by u general election In July.

Tho Conservative .Sdinrfurd, however,professes to have "unquestionable author-ity" for sajlng thut tho Government willhnsten tilings so ns to bring thu electionat tho end of May or car! In June

llfllcers Acceifril In King's With,The 7'lmis prints the following In a

conspicuous manner:"Wo are assured on good authority

that u majority of the infunti-- j oillctrsIn Ireland only agreed to go to I'IMcr onbeing Informed that It was in iicconluii awith the Kind's wish und In loyalty to hiMajesty. They had expressed a willing-ne-s- s

to be dlsmli-t-c- before thin Informa-tion was commiiiilcated to them. '

Tho Tinn i ronllruis the report that theresignations ot Field Marshal Sir JolmFrench and Adjt.-Ge- Kwart, tho twoleading military members ot the ArmyCouncil, have not been accepted. Thorime says It understands that Lord 11a.-dan- e,

thu Lord High Chancellor. Is draft-ing an explanatory document, u hlch maybo addressed by Field Marshul Prenctito Hrlg.-Ge- Gough and which will bo tuthe satisfaction of buth.

manders who attended the eonfe rene'e attho War oillco wero unanimous hi theirtestimony that the solidarity of the urtnyhad been absolutely unimpaired by theevents of tho last few elajs.

It Is reported that tho othcrr oftroops at Glasgow, whcin
