there was ao doubt that the Ta

Jurisdiction ; over these waters.
Further, It was added, there was
ao doubt that a hot and eontiau

she was sunk by gun tire. .
Both rotate Are
Considered Important
These are two ot tho most Im
portant, points to be determined
The state department late today
forwarded' to tho Caaadiaa gov
ernment a copy of the coast guard
report ot .the sinking ot the "I'm

The department of justice today
started aa independent lnvestiga
tlon of the case with a view to the
possibility that it might have to
prosecute the members ot tho T;
Aloae's crew who were landed at

Justice is expected to devote spec

be predicted. - .

matter of material reparations
would depend largely, it was said
today, upon whether tho dead sea.

just what type ot contract the sea

pon 'were three ot the largest
spears that the cemetery has pro
duced. A number ot copper ves
sels, a copper tray made to imi
tate basketwork and, piled - with
bowls and , vases of novel forms

were three strings of -beads of
gold, colored stone, agate, caren
liaa. jaspar. chalcedony, and
sardstones which are rarely found
before the time of Sargoa of Ak
kad. early Babylonian king. -
. On tho wrists were four heavy
gold bangles and tour bangles of
