PANAMA SIGNS
CANAL TREATY
Secretary Hay and the Min
ister Of Panama Make
New Agreement
MOULDED AFTER THE FIRST ONE
Cities Of Panama and Colon to Pass
Under American Jurisdiction - We
May Fortify the Canal and Police It
With Troops.

Washington, Nov. 19-The Haydn
nau-Varilla isthnian canal treaty was
signed az the residence of Secretary
Hay by the secretary and Philippe
Bunau-Varilla, tie minister from Pan
ana. Hearty congratulations were ex-
changed, and it was agreed that the
news Of the signing of the treaty
should be kept from the public for the
present. President Roosevelt was i'm
mediately advised of the signing OF the
document and Minister Bunau-Varilla
sent a confidential cablegram to his
government stating that the treaty had
been signed.
The treaty in its text cannot be
made public at this moment for two
reasons: First. because of the un-
written law which obliges the state
department to await the pleasure of
the senate in the matter of publicity,
and, second, because the president has
not yet determined when the conven-
tion shall be be submitted to the sen
ate for ratification. His present pur
pose is to withhold it until there is
reasonable assurance that its consider
alton viii rot obstruct any of the legis
lation for which the present session
of congress has been called. But Ger
ain facts have been disclosed as tC
The provisions Of the treaty which
make it appear that in its general out
lines the new Hay-Bunau-Yarilla con
vention is patterned upon the failed
Hay-Herran treaty, with the exception
that the new convention follows mo-
only ,the spirit but the letter OF the
Spooner act. Thus. instead of thu
lease for a fixed period of the cana
strip this new treaty provides for
perpetual lease Of the right Of way 4
the United States. And instead Of
complicated provision for courts O
mixed composition-half American an
half Colombian--to administer justic
over the canal strip. the new treat
permits the United States governmer
to exercise the most complete juri
diction thereupon. The United State
may fortify the line and the terminal
and Il may police it with troons.

MAYOR BIRD

Taxpayers Confident That
He Will Refuse to Sane
ton Water Deal
HAS MADE AN EFFICIENT OFFICIAL
Political Friends Fear For His Popu-
lsrity in the Event Of Him Signing
the Agreement Entered Into With
the United States Filtration Co.

Mayor Charles d. Bird has the COM
tract entered into by the Water De-
partment with the United States sand
Filtration Company for the construc-
ton Of a new filtering plant VIII he
sign II, is the question being asked on
all sides.
From all sides protests are heard
against the proposed lavish expendi-
ture of the peoples money and all
eyes are turned on the mayor. His
record since taking up the duties Of
his office as the citys executive officer
has brought him prominently before
the people of Wilmington as con-
scientious official and a man OF dig
nifty and noble character. He is be-
lieved to be familiar with the peoples
wishes I'm the matter and the ques-
tion arises will he do as they wish
him?
There is no more popular man I'm
Wilmington than Mayor Bird and his
political friends. who have n future In
store for him, fear that in the event OF
him approving the contract he will
lose the popularity he now enjoys.
Much pressure win be brought to bear
on him to return the contract without
! his approval.
1t is said that several lawyers have
advised Mayor Bird TO sign the con-
teract on the ground that he has no
discretion i'm the matter. as under a
lrecent decision of the court former
Mayor Fisher was Obliged to sign the
garbage contracts. A new point has
been raised. however, which puts an
other complexion on the subject. The
decision OF the court in the garbag,
case was on a contract m0de by Cit,
Council and did not go so Tar as L
compel the mayor TO affix his sigma
teure TO any contrac. which a city de
lpartment may make.
The outcome of the matter Is anx
iously awaited. although there ar
many who firmly believe the mayor wi
not sign the contract and consequent
do not worry over the matter. Th
: majority of City Council oppose n
, contract.
