Qet Year .In Prison.

Joseph B. Reichmann took one ballot
and found him guilty of having made
a false report to the state banking de
partment while he wns president of
the Carnegie Trust company. Then

to whether It should recommend him
to the court for mercy and decided it
would not.

mann and his counsel, who were con
fident of a disagreement, If not an ac
quittal. Ilelchmann is the first banker
to be convicted in this county of mak
ing n false statement to the bank de

tried In the supremo court, allowed
mm to remain nt uuerty on ifiu.guu
ball until tomorrow morning, when ho
will be sentenced. This was done by
Justice Davis so that Relchmann's
lawyers should have an opportunity to
prepare application for an arrest of
Judgment nnd a certificate of reasona
ble doubt. The punishment may be a
year in the penitentiary, n $500 One or
both, as- It Is a mlsdemennor for a
banker to concur in a false report. It
Is likely that Justice Davis will im
pose a prison sentence.

William J. Cummins, who had stock
control of the Carnegie Trust com
pany, of which Itelchmann wns presi
dent, nnd whs is Indicted for grand
larceny, will be tried In October, nnd
that the conviction of Reichmann will
not change his program for the trial
of former City Chamberlnin Hyde,
who Is Indicted for bribery, some time I
in the fall.
Later, however, Jnmes W. Osborne,
counsel for Mr. Hyde, served notice on
the district attorney that ho would
appear before Justice Page in the su

bribery indictment against Hyde trans
ferred from the supreme court to tho

PUTS Bp WW
Anglo-American Treaty Ten
tatively Agreed To.
TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES.
England and United States Soon to
Have New Agreement, Which Fol
lows Recent World Peace Plans
Suggssted by President Taft.
Washington, June 20. It is announc
ed at the White House that tho Anglo
American arbitration treaty has been
agreed upon In every important pro
vision, there now rcmninlug only a few
minor details for settlement between
the state department and British for
eign office.
Ambassador Bryce called upon Mx.
Taft and the announcement was made
following a conference between the
two. Tho final negotiations In the
work of smoothing out the unimport
ant points of' difference between the
state department and tho British for
eign office will bo begun at once be
tween Secretary Knox nnd Ambassa
dor Bryce, and It is believed that the
treaty will be ready for submission to
the senate at this session of congress.
There is. however, no certainty yet as
to the date of Its completion, nnd
though negotiations will be pushed ns
.rapidly as possible the treaty may
have to wait over until the regular
session of congress In December. The
announcement follows tho approval of
the tentative draft of tho treaty pre
pared by Secretary Knox and Mr.
Bryce, which wns approved by Presi
dent Tnft and the cnbinet nnd sub
mitted to the British foreign office.
The approval of the British foreign
office was not complete, but it embrac
ed every Important provision of the
tentative treaty submitted. The treaty
as now agreed upon by the two coun
tries supplements existing arbitration
treaties in the following respects:
It adds to the list of arbitral con
troversies those of vital interest nnd
national honor. It provides that ne
gotlntlons under this treaty shall be-
direct, tho scnato to retain only the-
right of, pnssing upon the protocol or
statement of the questions nt Issue.
Questions .considered by both coun
tries as arbitral shall be submitted to
The Hague tribunal except In in
stances where by special agreement
some other tribunal is crentcd or se
lected, and questions which either
country considers ns not international
ly Justifiable are to be referred to a
Commission of Inquiry, which shall
have the power to mnke recoinmcnaa
Hons for the settlement of the contro
versy. Should this rommlsslon recom
mend arbitration its disposition Is to
be blndlug upon the two governments.
The commission will be composed of
citizens of the, two governments who
are members of The Hague tribunal.
This commission Is to Investigate
the necessity of arbitration even in
controversies which both x countries
may agree are .susceptible to arbitra
tion. The power of this commission
extends only to recommendation for
arbitration, nnd its decision is not In
the nature of nn nrbltral award '.iy an
international trlbunnl; also the deci
sion of this commission is to be de
layed one year at the request of either
government while a diplomatic settle
ment of the issues is sought.
Under this treaty the separate arbi
tration of disputes, will be conducted
under terms of submission subject to
the advice and consent of tho senate.
This eliminates any questions of a se
rious curtailment of the rights -of the
senate In dealing with international
questions. Under existing treaties the
senato passes upon two questions, tho
propriety of arbitrating any contro
versy and the manner in which that
controversy shall bo submitted to The
Hague tribunal for arbitration,
