The substance of tho following Is digested from an article by Hon. George U Cnnfleld, of tho Detroit liar nnd one or the best known nnd most universally recog nized authorities on tho subject of Admiralty Inw in tho United States. Ho snys: "Salvors nro exported to exhibit great good faith In their dealings with tho subject of their work. Tho courts treat them with fnvor when this clement Is present nnd nro cor respondingly sovoro when It Ih nn. They must deal very honestly with ino property, nnd linvo no r k it to appropriate any of It to their own use. '1 no best courso Is to promptly Bin-lender It to tho court iindor a iniel ror snlvngc. They luivo no right to rotnln possession ns against tho owner. The law protects their right to comnensatlon liv n nmrlMmn lien j which hns no relation to possession j:md which run only bo displaced by an admiralty sale or their own laches " In enforcing It. "Practlco In snlvntro cases ocens- tonally brings ono In contact with nonio of tho very primitive notions or law. Ono of theso is tho Idea that the finder of wrecked property becoiuos Its owner, or that such prop- eriy is suujeci to appropriation by tho first occupant. There nro prob ably fow shipwrecks which fall to occasion applications, of this theory. Tho neighborhood takes what it can and is usunlly slnroro In tho belief thnt It has a right to do so. Tho oldest sea codes contain denuncia tions of tho prnctlco, but It was not considered reprehensible In tho enrlior periods of tho common law. and perhaps tho populnr notion Is n survival of an ancient custom oMho sen shore. It does not, howovor, find any ' countenance with tho courts. Tho Albnny, -14 Fed. 431, presents such nn instnnco. Sho wns stranded In tho Straights of Mnelnnc with a vnlunblo cargo und Jettisoned in considerable quantity which wns I appropriated iy various peoplo along bootlegging wns successfully cnrrled on at the Inst carnival, It has prob ably led them to bollevo they can do the same thing on a larger scale this year. Any lnboring undor this Idea, howovor, will find It erroneous, and thnt It will bo to their own ndvan tago to comply with tho law. The Agnto Carnival nt Port Orford Is cither going to bo a moral institution whom law, and decency reigns, or It Is going to die, nnd It Is n good two to ono bet thnt It Is not going to die."
