which will be held in Washington
this week, the utterances of Fred.
eric Adrian Delano, president of the
Wabash Railroad company, and John
n. Patten of Chattanooga, Tenn, will
be followed with much interest by the
friends of improved waterways
throughout the country.
1t has been several years since
the president of great railroad sys-
tenn like the Wabash appeared before
this congress of waterway enthusi-
asts, James j. Hill Of the Great North
ern having given his endorsement to
the movement for a comprehensive
policy of waterway development on
the part OF the federal government
years ago. Later, Mr.. Hill was follow
ed by President Brown of the New
York Central, who took an advanced
position on this great question which
is uppermost in the minds of the
American people.
Story Of Career.
President Delano began his railroad
service with an engineering party in
Colorado in 1885, later entering the
machine shops of the c., B. G. @. rail
road at Aurora, ILL.,, as an apprentice
machinist. Two years later Mr.. De-
lano became superintendent OF the
Chicago terminals of the Burlington
and shortly afterward the general
manager of the system. After leaving
the service of the Burlington, Mr..
Delano was consulting engineer 20

railroads in the Philippine Islands
He has been president OF the Wabash

to the south as Mr.. DelanO Is to the
west. Mr.. Patten has been one OF
the guiding spirits of Dixie having
by shrewd intelligence comprehended
the advantages OF the section in
which he lives.
Mr.. Patterns name has been synony-
nous with every public enterprise
not only in Chattanooga but in the
southern states. He has been one of
the pioneers in the grand movement
for national progressive movement
in waterway improvement. He not
only knows the wonderful Tennessee
river and appreciates its immense
possibilities as an auxiliary to com

with deep interest by all concerned IN
that great waterway, but will prove

To FORT|FY
CANAL BEYOND
QUESTION
Government officials and Army
Officers Surprised That Issue
Should Be Raised at This
Late Day,


Washington, Sept, 3. - Officials,
both of the state department and OF
the army, expressed surprise today
that any question had been raised at
this time as To the right of the
United States to erect Notifications
along the Panama canal. They regard
the unfavorabie comment in the Eng
lish press on Colonel Roosevelt's re-
marks about the necessity for fortify-
ing the canal as lack of appreciation
both of the action Of the American
government and of the attitude Of the
British foreign office Itself.
BY implication. il is declared by
American officials that the American
and British agreement of 1901, known
as the Hay-Paunceforte treaty. gave
the United States the right to fortify
the canal.
The implication is drawn from
several clauses, it is pointed out. This
treaty sets forth that the United States
adopted as the basis OF the neutraliza-
ton of the canal. the rules governing
the Suez canal with certain fortifica-
tons, In contrast with the Suez rules
the Panama canal rules. it is contend
ed. contain no specific authorization
for an enemy of the United States to
~latter's interest.
1t is therefore claimed by the
United States n a her guarantee to
ueutralize the canal only refers to
belligerents, not enemies of the United
Furthermore, it is added. no
express provision vas Incorporated in
the rules forbidding the United States
to fortify the canal as was done with
Turkey in the case of the Sue canal.
These omissions are regarded as
particularly significant, because of the
tina Lord Paunceforte. who drew
the treaty of 1901 with Secretary Hay,
one of the negotiators of the
treaty that provided for the Suez ana
In This connection, according
to the understanding by the state de-
partment, the view of the British gov
eminent was expressed in a memoir
andum by Lord Lansdowne on August
81, 1907, communicated to secretary
Hay through Lord Paunceforte.
Il understand that by the omission
of all reference to the matter OF de-
he said, the United States de-
sires to reserve h power of taking
to protect the canal at any
rate when the United States may he
at van from destruction or damage
AZ the hands of the enemy.
Il am not prepared to deny that
contingencies may arise when not only
rom a national point of view, but on
behalf of the commercial interests or
he whole world it might be of SUI
1reme Importance to the United states
hat they should be free to adopt
for the defense of the canal
a moment when they were them
selves engaged in hostilities."
The American government, II IS
'laimed here, has been openly acung
on the theory that 1t had h right TO
the canal.
