BANK WRECkER
GETS IS YEARS
RINEHART Is FOUND GUILTY
ON THIRTY COUNTS
Men Accused of Attempt to Bride
Juror Are Arraigned and Re-
leased on $500
Bail
tBy Associated Press.l


PITTSBURG, Jan. ID. B. F. Rine-
hart, former cashier and vice president
of the Farmers and Drovers National
bank Of Waynesburg, Pa, which instl-
tuition failed over two years ago for
81, 000,0 900, was found guilty at noon to-
day of wrecking the bank and was i'm
mediately sentenced to serve fifteen
years in the penitentiary by United
States Judge James S. Young.
The jury found Rinehart guilty of all
the eleven counts charging him with
making false reports to the comptroller
of the currency and on all of the nine
teen counts charging him with making
false entries and with irregularities in
transactions connected with the Green
county political campaign of 1905.
Rinehart was not present when the
verdict was read, but entered a few
minutes later.
Judge Young then caused a sensation
among all concerned by Immediately
calling Rinehart before him and i'm
posing sentence.
Tears trickled down the cheeks Of the
dazed banker, and amid the largest
audience ever seen in the United States
court here there was a deathlike
silence
Later the jurors conferred with the
United States district attorney concern
their number.
On the first Indictment Rinehart was
sentenced to serve ten years and was
given five years on the second indict-
ment.
1t ig reported he will not appeal the
case. He was taken to the penitentiary
at 1870 this afternoon.
George w. Worley, a brother-in-law
of Rinehart, and James L. Smith, who
were arrested last night charged with
attempting to corrupt the jury, were
held in $500 bail each by United States
Commissioner Lindsey. Both men fur
nished bail.
The arrest last night Of Worley and
Smith, a wealthy Green county farmer,
on charges of alleged tampering with a
personal friend of one of the jurors in
the Rinehart trial is one Of the new
sensations in this sensational case.
The arrest of a third person for at
tempting to corrupt a Rinehart juror
is momentarily expected.
District Attorney Dunkle refuses to
make public at this time the name of
the third man wanted.
It is reported a private detective
agency has been connected with the
attempt at corruption of the jury.

HATMAKERS GO
ON BIG STRIKE
UNION LABEL is DROPPED BY
MANUFACTURERS
Over Twenty Thousand Employees At
Fected by WaIkout in Seventy
five Large Factories
in the East
TBy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Jan. t5.-Seventy-five
nat factories, employing from 10000 to
z0OOO persons, were affected by a de-
clsion of the Associated Hat Manufac-
turers, promulgated today, to discon-
tlnue the use Of the union label in all
the factories represented in the asso-
citation.
The issuance of the order was fol-
lowed by strikes in the hat factories Of
Orange, n. j., where 1000 men went
out, and in Brooklyn, where 500 men
employed by Samuel Mundheim & Co.
went out.
Following the receipt of the order
disseminating the use of the label, the
national board of the United Hatters
of America, having about $4,000 mem
bers, today ordered all those employed
In the factories owned or controlled by
the members Of the Associted Hat
Manufacturers to go on a strike
President John A. Moff1t of the
United Hatters said today that the
action of the manufacturers in discon-
tinuing the use of the union label
meant a fight to the end for the exist
ence of the union.
Samuel Mundheim is president of the
hat manufacturers association. He
said today that the vote to discontinue
the use Of the label was unanimous.
He said the reason for this action
was that the union employees had
failed to sign a working agreement
with the Geyer Hat company Of Phila-
delphia. Under his agreement he said,
the men were to continue work until a.
settlement of pending questions was
reached, but the men quit work in
that factory two weeks ago and have
since refused to return.
