Whether white light indicates dan

question for consideration for a jury
In the United States court at Duluth

VIII pc the fourth time it has been
submitted to a jury to decide.
Inc question arises in the case of the
s eI States against the Davidson
steamship company, of Saginaw, Mich,
and G. c. Houpt, United States dis
tflct attorney for Minnesota, will pros
ecute the case. The government sues
the steamship company for $4,012.50,
pelng the amount actually expended IN
repairing an injury to brealwater
AT Two Harbors inflicted by the steam
er Shenandoah in 1898 in collision
with the breakwater.
Inc government alleges that the
master of the Shenandoah was negli-
gent in entering the harbor, and the
owners OF the vessel set up a claim of
negligence on the part of the govern
ment In displaying a white light on the
sbreakWater instead of red light. The
government contends that red is not
necessarily an indication of danger.
The case has been tried three times
and three judges have sat in the hear
Ing. In the first trial, Judge Shiras
presiding, the government got a YER
dict, but the company secured new
trial. AT the second trial, Judge Ami
don presiding, the jury disagreed. AT
the last trial. Judge Morris on the
bench, verdict for $1,000 was given
the government, but the district attor-
ney secured new trial, contending
that ii the government was entitled to
anything it was entitled to the full
amount claimed. The costs in the
three trials now amount to $500 or
more,

he was not a candidate for governor,
