WOULD ENJOIN CANAL.
Chicago Attorney Files a Bill in
Equity in U. S. Court.

Washington, March 29.-Warren 5.
Wilson, a lawyer of Chicago, has filed
in the district supreme court a bill in
equity for an injunction against Sec
rotary Shaw, the Republic of Panama,
the new Panama Canal company of
France and others to stop the construc-
ton of the Panama canal. He asks
that Secretary Shaw be enjoined from
permitting the payment from any
moneys under his control under the
pretended authority of the void act
of June %, 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 appropriation by law of any
money for the payment of any of the
construction expenses and declares
| that the act of June 2S, 1902, is in vio-
lation of the constitution of the United
States. and is null and void. He
charges that the treaty is wholly UNI
constitutional and invalid both in the
| United States and Panama. in it's es-
sential features and confers no rights
and imposes no obligations on either
| of the parties directly concerned. Mr.
Wilson charges that even if that act
were valid its terms and conditions
have not been complied with and dc
not authorize the proposed payments
Mr.. Wilson, who came here solely tc
|
cago last night. He said that in
bringing the proceedings he represent
ed no person OF persons whatever ex-
cept himself, although he does not ex-
pect people to believe that statement
he said the question appealed to him
personally and that he proposed Il
fight the case along the U. s. supreme
court which was the only tribunal that
could pass finally on so important &
matter.
Chicago, March 29.-Several iRhuen-
tiai persons in Bogota are believed to
be instigators of the suit which was
brought by Attorney Wilson to prevent
the purchase of the Panama canal by
the U. S. government. Attorney
Halves who occupies the same office II
this city with Mr. Wilson, said:
IT am of the opinion that some
Bogota.- people who are opposed to the
Panama canal project are behind Will
son. Mr.. Wilson started working OF
the Panama canal case about a month
ago after he had been visited every day
for a week by a prominent merchant
rof Boeota. He has at least five client:
in BogCta, but have never learned
their names. In view of his connection
with these people the logical conclusion
is that they are the ones that are re
sponsfble for the legal proceedings
brought in Washington"

Two of the four park propositions
now before the park board were to be
reviewed at length this afternoon
when the boards committees on
finance and designation of grounds
met in Joint session. These are the
controversy, the proposition made by
Thomas Lowry and the movement for
a park near the international audi

give considerable attention to- the mat
ter of leyying taxes for both these
park propositions
In order to clear up some misun-
Outstanding on the part of property
owners likely to be affected by the

Secretary j. "A. RidgWay of the park
