June 29. The Jury which had been hearing the evidence against 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 for about an hour the jury debated cs to whether It should recommend him to the court for mercy and decided it would not.

Ilelchmann is the first banker to be convicted in this county of mak ing n false statement to the bank de partment He. did not go on the wit ness stnnd in his own defense. Reichmann wns sent to the Tombs. Justice Davis, before whom he was tried In the supremo court, allowed mm to remain nt uuerty on ifiu.guu ball until tomorrow morning, when ho will be sentenced.

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, FOR M'NAMARA'S DEFENSE.
