The case is expected to develop nu

methods .employed by Captain Bailey in
handling shipping at the mouth of the
Columbia. He has been repeatedly ac
cused of refusing to respond promptly
to signals for tows from inbound ves

the Puget sound porta to the detriment
of the Columbia rJrer, but this la the
