Steam navigation a little over a hundred years old. The Scientific American notes the Aquitania and Waterland as two of the Atlantic liners over 900 feet long. The Titanic disaster influenced ideas for inner hulls and watertight compartments to save ships after iceberg or collision damage.

The design, already costly, is framed as insurance against disasters like Titanic and Empress of Ireland, despite higher construction costs.

The Supreme Court held constitutional a 25 dollar penalty on railroads for failing to settle land claims within sixty days and on claimants pursuing fraudulent claims. Chief Justice Alvin L. Brown wrote the opinion. Riskin of Cohasset shipped 36 dollars of goods to J. Possum in Duluth. Great Northern failed to settle within sixty days, prompting a suit in Duluth municipal court where the loss and penalty were awarded.
The plaintiffs argued the statute was unconstitutional class legislation and deprived them of due process, seeking a ruling that the law violated their property rights.
