Columbus, March 12.-This after
noon the state board of public works
and state canal commission will act
upon a petition filed by Mr.. julius
Whiting, Jr, of Canton, asking for
a lease on portion of Turkeyfoot lake
district, seven miles from Akron. Mr..
Whiting desires to establish a summer
resort in that section and his appli-
cation has been in possession of the
canal commission a month. For some
reason not stated, the application was
not disposed of at last months joint
session of both bodies. Not wishing
to invite competition, since filing his
application, Mr.. Whiting refrained from
taking the public into his confidence
regarding his plans, until today, when
he consented to discuss the project
with the News-Democrat representa-.
tive. 1t is a new venture with him
and one in which he has no associates,
If the lease he requests is granted, he
will begin active preparations immedi-
ately to put his plans into effect. He
is unable to state definitely at this
time how much money the undertaking
will require. His idea is to convert the
spot into a modern summer resort
especially adapted for boating, bathing
fishing and shooting. Attorney w. A.
Lynch has had an application before
the commission for certain privileges
in the Turkeyfoot lake district, but
he has waved whatever claims he may
have had by right of the priority OF
his application, in favor of Mr.. Whiting
whose petition was filed subsequent to
that of Mr. lynch Mr. Writings an

afternoon, is as follows:

REFUSED
Reply Made as to Hay
Pauncefote Treaty.
DECLINED TO AMEND
An Expression Of Regret That
Such Course Was Forced
Upon the British
~ Government.

Washington, March 12.-The long
expected answer from the British
government to the state department 5
communication reciting the action of
the senate upon the HayPauncefote
treaty, was officially returned at the
state department. Lord Pauncefote,
the British ambassador. already had
acquainted Secretary Hay with the
fact that he had received a communi-
cation from his government on the
subject, and it is believed it had been
in his possession for several days.
Secretary Hay had acquired a gen
eral knowledge of the character Of
the British response.
Pauncefote Called on Hay.
Lord Pauncefote came to the state
department by appointment. He
brought the answer with him and
read it to Secretary Hay. 1t was, in
form, an instruction from Lord
Lansdowne, the British minister Of
foreign affairs, Lord Pauncefote, and
of this instruction he left copy with
Secretary Hay. The secretary and
the ambassador were closeted for
about half an hour. At the cOnclu-
sion of the conference it was stated
that the instruction to Lord Paunce-
fOte was to notify the government OF
the United States that the British
government did not see it's way clear
to the acceptance Of the senate
amendments. The amendments We're
treated in detail at some length, in ar
gumentative fashion, the purpose Of
the British government being to show
that 1t had sound reason for declining
to accept them. After disposing of
the details the note concluded with an
expression of regret that such a
course. was forced upon the British
government. There was nothing in
the nature of counter proposition,
nor was any opening left for further
action by the British government. 1t
was stated that II there Is to be a
further attempt to amend the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. so as to authorize

On Monday OF Next Week--Attorneys

Is In Judge McCartys Hands.
A LARGE NUMBER OF AFF|DAVITS READ
The Hearing Attracted Large Audience In the
Court Room---The Commissioners, Watson
and Hoover Interested Spectators---WiII

Question,

The Canal Fulton bridge case was
placed on hearing before Judge Nc
Carly Monday afternoon at / o'clock.
The case was stated on the part of the
state by Prosecuting Attorney r. II.
Day, who is assisted in the case by
Attorneys John c. Welty and Lorin c.
Wise. In support of the allegations
in the petition filed in the case, the
affidavits of County Surveyor Hoover
were read, and those of other architects
who had examined the plans prepared
by said Hoover.
The commissioners and Contractor
Watson, who are parties defendant
are represented by Attorneys Taylor
and Stewart and c. G. Bow. AS a
defense they presented the affidavits
of the commissioners, Architect Guy
Tilden and others, in which it is as
serted that the changes made in the
plans were necessary in order to secure
good bridge. The effort plainly was
to throw the blame on Surveyor Hoover
who made the original plans.
A large number of affidavits were
read in support of the claims of both
sides, and Monday afternoon Prose,
cutor Day made his plea to the court
He was followed in turn by Judge Tay
lor and G. G. Bow for the commission
ers and Contractor Watson. Court

dered. 1t also was held that Great
Britain had certain vested rights in
Central America, which had given
place to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
so that if the treaty was to be sue
ceeded by something less substan-
tial, then the old vested rights Of
Great Britain were obuterated, with
out any adequate return. At the
same time the understanding here is
that the sentiment Of British officials
was to try and reach an agreement.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1901-03-15

The arguments Of the attorneys on
both sides showed that the case had
been carefully studied. At the con-
clusion of Mr., Weltys argument, Judge
McCarty stated that he would like to
take the case under advisement and
render his decision next Monday.
Throughout the hearing of the case
there was a large audience in the
court room. The commissioners, Con-
tractor Watson, Surveyor Hoover and
some other interested parties wero
close observers of the progress of the
trial.
There is considerable discussion
among the people as to the outcome Of
the case, many being of the opinion
that Contractor Watson, who furnished
the material and did the work, should
be paid, but that those who plunged
the county into this extra expense
should if possible be made to suffer the
penalty.
The point at issue in the case is as
W WHetneI Ut not lne court VIII grant
an injunction restraining the commits
sioners from paying for the work due
on the bridge. The grounds on which
the restraining order is asked is that
the laws require the commissioners to
submit all contemplated expenditures
that exceed ten thousand dollars to q
vote of the people of the county before
letting contract. In this case the
outlay was greatly in excess of the
limit fixed by the statute.

ply drops the matter ut this point.
Secretary Hay carried the communi-
cation to the white house. to talk to
the president as to the future action
of the department.
Although the text is withheld, it IL
understood that the answer takes uD
each of the three amendments made
by the senate. and presents the diff.
cuities in Il way of asserting to them
AS to the amendment which struck
out all that clause of the treaty invlt-
ing other maritime nations to concur
in the neutralizing of the canal, the
British view is that while the United
States and Great Britain can bind
themselves by treaty to neutralize
the canal they cannot make this ac-
tion binding on all other governments,
unless these governments concur.
AS to the entire abrogation of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, as provide i
by one of the senate amendments, it
appears to be the British view that
such step is too far reaching to be
taken without some negotiation in
which the1 British side of the case is
presented. The sO-called Davis
amendment appears, however, to be
the chief obstacle in the way of au
agreement, and while the British an
swer makes no suggestion of any
further negotiation, yet it seems to
be fair inference from its general
tenor that If Il modification treaty
were adopted, and the treaty was
ratified as amended. The two other
amendments abrogated the Clayton.
Bulwer treaty and struck out the pro
vision of the treaty which invited
their approval of it.
Didn't Agree with Old Treaty.
AS the amendments created condi-
tiOns which the British government
had not concurred in when the orig
inal treaty was made, it was neces
sary to present the instrument, in its
amended form, to that government
for its approval. 1t Is understood
that one moving consideration in the
minds of the British statesmen eff.
fected not only Great Britain and her
interests In the canal, but all the
maritime nations of Europe and of
the world at large, as the complete
neutralizing of the canal under the
terms of the treaty would have the
effect of comforting the same rights
and usage to Germany, France and
other nations that were enjoyed by
Great Britain. 1t wa rather in the
character of trustee for the maritime
nations that the amended treaty was
considered. Furthermore, an import
ant consideration was as to the eff.
feet of the new instrument in COM
pletely wiping out the Clayton Bull
wer treaty, and the rights which
Great Britain claimed under that
