Shipping Bill Sparks Senate Debate on American Trade Power
The Senate opened debate on the shipping bill to back ocean mail service and boost United States trade and defense. Senator Frye argued protectional policy is essential to prevent reliance on foreign bottoms and to maintain shipbuilding, warning that without strong ships American exports could be carried by rival nations. He estimated substantial costs and asserted subsidies as protection, while noting current crew composition questions and a two-year timeline for citizen hiring.

Writ of Mandate Quashed in Minnie Healey Case
Supreme Court quashed an alternative writ directing Judge E W Harney to show cause why he had not ruled on a new trial motion in the Minnie Healey case. The ruling cited insufficient facts in the petition and affidavit to warrant issuance. Arguments debated whether action should be in Miles Finlen’s name and whether court authority could review a lower court motion. The court allowed amendment to the petition and reserved judgment on a water diversion dispute involving Black Tail Deer Creek and Colusa Parrot.
