Taft approves Isthmian policy to buy ships abroad
The Isthmian Canal Commission, with Secretary Taft, adopts a policy to purchase ships and materials in world markets rather than American yards. The move aims to cut costs for Panama Canal construction, despite outcry from manufacturers and ship owners. European ships could be available immediately, while American builds would cost more and take longer. The decision preserves the option to buy abroad and urges American firms to match foreign prices to win future contracts.

Obstruction in St John River in New Brunswick
A plan to delay removal of pliers and booms placed in the St John River at Van Buren Maine by St John Lumber is under review after a British government communication. New Brunswick Attorney General Pugsley says England is unlikely to object to court action to compel removal on the New Brunswick side and possibly on the Maine and U S sides. A mandatory injunction in the Supreme Court in equity is anticipated to force removal, with possible follow up in Maine courts.
