May Settle Salvage Row Out 01 Court Damaged U. S. Ship Enroute To Britain Ixmdon, Aug. 0-IVPI—It appeared today that the International salvage row over the $4,500,000 American farmer might be settled amicably out of court. It wax understood that the I'niled Slates lines, owners < f the Amercan Farmer, had indicated a receptive attitude toward the Hudeon Steamship Co., whore ship, the Eliza lade, first put a prize crew aboard the derelict fr»i»hter. The Elias beta's crew left the American Farmer, reportedly at the orders of an American crew from the Farmer's sister ship, the American Ranger. The Ranger crew Is bringing the damaged Farmer in toward Britain at a speed of about X knot*. A new development wax a report that the Ellzabete crew left the Farmer at orders from the American drotroyer Perry. A small British steamer, the Ellzabete, reached the American Farmer first. Capt E. Millers and hie crew claimed the salvage prize, hoisted the British ensign, and started towing the Farmer toward Cardiff. laiter the American Ranger hove into sight. A larger crew wan sent ahoard the Farmer from her sister ship. ('apt. Millers said the American* struck the British ensign, raised the American flag, and cant off her tow line. Millen* said he had signaled: "Hands off. this prize Is mill'*." He said the Americans ignored his warning and started the American Farmer off in a different direction under her own power. Official* of the Hudson Steamship Co.. Ltd, who manage the 2,000-ton Ellzabete fir the British transport ministry, said the American action wax “high handed." They appealed to the admiralty and treasury solicitors to intervene. A > Hudson director said l*oth the Farmer and the Ranger may Im "arrested" when they reach port, probably in four or five day*. In New York, officials of the United States lines, which owns ts'ili the Ranger and the Farmer, had a different story. They said Capt. Oscar Johnson, of the Ranger, had radioed that the Ellzabete was “Incapable*’ of towing the 8,258-ton Farmer into port. A company xpokromun said Johnson was instructed to "assert the rights of the owner” In any dispute with the British prize crew, and tiiat numerous radio Birosages had indicated that the British crew wax “disinclined to lea’e the American Farmer and disinclined to let its line elip from the ship." The 8. lines conceded that the British crew probably had boarded the Farmer fitwt. but said the courts would have to decide who wax entitled Io the salvage 1 prize.
