GREAT BRITAIN ACCEPTS
THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Agreement Will Go to Senate
This Session.

WASHINGTON. June 29.--It was an
nounced al the White House yesterday
that the Anglo-American arbitration
treaty has been agreed upon in every
important provision. there now remain
ing only a few minor details for settle-
ment between the state department
and the British foreign Office.
Ambassador Bryce. of Great Britain,
called UP President Taft, and the an
nouncement was made following a con
ference between the two. The final
negotiations in the work of smoothing
out the unimportant points of difference
between the state department and the
British foreign Office will be begun at
once between Secretary of State Knox
and Ambassador Bryce. and it is hoped
that the treaty will be ready for sub
mission to the Senate at this session
of Congress. There is, however, no
certainty yet as to the date of it's COM
pletion, and although negotiations will
be pushed us rapidly as possible, the
treaty may have to wait over until
the regular session of Congress in De-
cember.

When Patroiman Frederick Heck

Sheridan, of go Halsey street, who
was drunk early this morning. to stop
hanging around. Sheridan looked the
cop up and down for q minute n
then told him to go away and not
bother a free citizen, who had a per-
feet right to be wherever he pleased as
long as he paid his taxes. Later he was
fined SIS by Judge Hahn In tie First
Precinct Court.
When the officer insisted that he
must stop hanging around and behave
himself. Sheridan got peevish and told
him hat IL he did not get away mighty
quick he would wipe up the street with
him. Hickman did not believe him
and started to talk again, Whef. Sherl-
dan punched aim. Such a healthy wal
lop was 1t that the cop went down for
the count. When he opened his eyes
he found Sheridan waiting for him,
and then he started out, keeping his
word as to wiping up the street with
the uniformed man. He kicked him

SHOWS CONDITION
OF MA|NDELLEs
Sue for $4,000 After Concern
Has Both Piano and
Money.

When summing up today in the suit
brought against his clients, Hallet &
Davis Piano Company, Attorney
Charles M. Mason declared the posi-
ton of the piano manufacturers was
very similar to hat of a character
described in one of the Evening
STARS proverb contest pictures. Ad-
dressing the jury in the Circuit Court,
in which Judge DUNCAN is sitting. Mr..
Mason said:
you gentlemen are doubtless proverb
hunters and have noticed the pictures
representing well-known proverbs
which have been running in the Eve
ming STAR. You remember the pic
ture showing one mar asking another
for the payment of a loan The other
half of the picture showed the borrower
deliberately cutting the lender 1t their
next meeting. The surprised benefactor
is remarking. They not only don't
speak to me but they've got my money.
too This, gentlemen. is just the pre-
dieament of the Hallet & Davis Com
pany."
Attorney Mason followed this with
sweeping statements denying the al
legations Of the compliments, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank x. Maindelle, of lib South
Eleventh street. The couple are suing

plant assert that several employees

Judge DUNCAN went over the evidence
carefully in his charge to the jury
and the jurors retired to deliberate.

Stereopticon Views Illustrate
Discussion at Convention
of PreventOrs.

There was a DISAPPOINTMENT for the
smoke experts today in the second
days program of the convention of the
International Association for the Pre-
vention of Smoke. being held in the
City Hall. 1t had beer expected that
Senator John Krapse, of Ohio. would
appear with a paper on the Ohio smoke
laws, but he was not able to be pres
emit.
Smoke Versus Beauty was the sub
Ject of an address by Richard B. Wat
rous, secretary OF the American Civic
Association. OF Washington. u. ca The
discussion which followed the address,
in which railroad smoke problems ,gere
treated at length. was illustrated by
s~tereopticon views.
Says Women began Campaign.
In HIS address on Smoke Versus
Beauty the speaker gave the credit
for starting the movement against
smoke to the women's clubs and civic
organizations. He told of the begin
nings of the movement. of the appar-
ent hopelessness of it. at the beginning.
and of the progress it has made.
And now it Is up to the mannfaa-
turers and business men to keep the
movement going" he concluded, and [
cannot see why they should not b. en-
thusiastic over 1t from merely 4 mer-
cenary standpoint. Smoke means vast
ed money. and the far-sighted manu-
facturers ought to begin to zee it in
that light
The speaker also took o ding at the
automobile smoke nuisance, saying that
it was not only disagreeable. but a pos
tive menace to health.
Charles D. Young. a representative
OF the Pennsylvania railroad, took the
leading part In the discussion on rail-
road smoke, which he illustrated with
Photographic slides of his own making.
He explained the use and mechanism
of mechanical stokers for locomotives,
and claimed that although they do not,
in their present stage OF development,
save any more coal h a a skilful fire.
man, they reduce the smoke to a
minimum, He said he believed 1t
would be possible in time to so in
crease the capacity of a steam boiler
that an engines hauling power would
be increased almost to double.
The delegates left Commercial wharf
at 1870 this afternoon for a trip to
Coney Island. The smoke discussion,
as applied particularly to the railroad
problem. will be again taken up to-
morrow morning at 8 o'clock. The con-
vention closes tomorrow with the cleo
ton of officers for the ensuing wear,
and the selection of a convention city
for next year.
