NAL PROPOSITION IN WASH
lNGToN COURTS.
Has Filed Bill in Equity for Injunction
Against Secretary Shaw and 9th
ers to Prevent Payment Of Money
and Estop Construction Of the
Panama Canal.

Washington, D.. c., March 30.-War-
rem ". Wilson, a lawyer or Chicago, has
filed in the district supreme court a
bill in equity for an Injunction against
Secretary Shaw, the republic OF Pan
anna, the New Panama Canal company
Of France and others to estop the con-
struction of the Panama canal.
He asks that Secretary Shaw be en-
joined from permitting the payment of
any moneys under his control under
the pretended authority of the void act
of June IS, 1902, entitled An act to
provide for the construction of a canal
connecting the waters of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans.
He AYERS that there is no appropria-
ton by law of any money for the pay
ment of any of the construction ex-
penses and declares hat the act OF
June 2S, 1902. is in violation OF the
constitution of the United States n
is null and void. He charges that the
treaty is wholly unconstitutional ana
invalid. both in the United States and
in Panama. in its essential features and
colfers no rights and imposes no obi
cations on either of the parties direct,
~ concerned.
Mr.. Wilson charges hat eve if that
act were valid its terms and conditions
nave not been complied with and do
not authorize the proposed payments.
which will, therefore, he alleges, VIC
late the constitution.

would do. Harry s. New of the COM
mittee suggested that there were some
things for which the national commit.
would be compelled to pay and he
thought 1t well II the local men would
place $4,000 at the disposal of the ma
tional committee. This the local men
agreed to do at once. and the money
given. AIT convention bills will be sent
to the local committee. The total num-
Der of seats in the hall will be 8,428.
