SNEAD IS ON TRIAL
E0R THEFT OF FUNDS
Danville Alderman Arraigned as
Accessory to Paylor's
Ernbezzlement.

Especial to The Times Dispatch
Danville, Va. March 12.-Charles G
Sncad. a memebr OF the Board of Al
dcrmen and former president OF that
body, was arraigned in the Corporation
Court this morning on a charge OF be-
inc an accessory to the embczzlement
OF over $4,000 OF State funds by Elk
city Treasurer william s. Paylor. The
entire days session OF the court was
consumed in hearing the evidence in
the case. Tonight when court adj
journed until tomorrow morning. at
10 O'Clock. the Commemorative wit
nesses had finished their testimony, and
the defendant had taken the stand in
his own behalf and had been examined
by his counsel. When court opens to-
morrow morning he Will be subjected
to a grueiing cross examination by
the Commemorative attorney, in an cf-
fort TO shake his defense.
The courtroom was crowded, owing
TO the prominence of the parties and
TO the fact that Paylor had agreed to
turn States evidence when the agree
ment OF an eighteen months sentence
was reached. if he pleaded guilty. but
the expected Developments failed to
materialize. The general opinion here
TO night is that the Commonwealth ha s
laiieu 10 make out Its case and that
the jury will be out but n short while
| when ii will render verdict of not
guilty.
In A conversation with The Times
Dispatch correspondent tonight. Com
monwcalths Attorney Thomas Hamlin
and William Wilson representatives
of the Illinois Surety Company, who
We're on Paylor's bond, admitted that
they were greatly disappointed AT the
testimony introduced to-day and
frankly stated that they did not antic-
ipate a conviction. Their doubt of be-
ing able 10 convict apparently is based
upon the failure TO prove positively
that the money gotten from Paylor by
Snead was known by the latter to have
been state funds.
Before going into the Snead case
Paylor entered n plea OF guilty to the
charge of embezzlement, upon an
agreement between his counsel and the
Commonwealth's attorney that he
would receive 4 sentence of eighteen
months in the penitentiary.

ARBITRATION NOW
UP TO THE SENATE
SECRETARY OF STATE BRYAN AND
BARON CHINDA SIGN THE
NEW TREATY.
IDENTICAL WITH OLD
STRONG OPPOSITION IN SENATE
Is KNOWN TO EXIST AND
OLD TREATIES MAY BE
HELD UP.
IDENTICAL WITH OLD

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Secre-
tary of State Bryan again today put
the arbitration treaty Issue UP to the
senate by renewing for period OF
Ave years the arbitration with Japan.
which expires on August gath next.
Agreement for the renewal OF the
treaty was signed by Mr.. Bryan and
Viscount Chinda. the Japanese am
bassador. at the state department to-
day.
The renewed treaty is identical with
the one now in force. Under Its pro-
visions all disputes arising out OF the
interpretation of treaties are to be
referred to arbitration. II a settle
ment cannot be reached by diplo-
macy. Consequently Japan can ask
for arbitration of the California alien
land law controversy. II she SO
chooses
senate May Not Ratify.
The real significance Of the ait
uation created by the renewal of the
treaty today il the attitude OF the
senate. There Is good reason TO be-
lieve that the senate will decline to
ratify the renewed treaty with Japan.
Such a refusal would, of course, In
the present delicate relations between
the two governments. give the Japan
csc material out Of which they might
make a fresh grievance.
Secretary Bryan has said that he Is
confident that the senate will ratify
all the arbitration treaties. 1t is also
known that he and President Wilson
have been trying to do missionary
work among the senators in behalf OF
the arbitration treaties already pend
ing. The opponents of the treaties
affirm that the required two-thirds
vote never can be obtained for the
treaties unless they are rendered
inocuous,
The true situation In the senate in
regard to the Japanese arbitration
treaty was disclosed during the night
made u pen the .Rritish arbitration
treaty. which was renewed by Mr..
Bryan last month. Led by Senator
Chamberlain. OF Oregon. the opposi-
ton successfully prevented ratification
Of the renewed British treaty though
attempts were made on two separate
occasions to obtain ratification.
During the debate on the British
treaty 4 surprising opposition was de-
veloped TO arbitration treaties In gen.
eral, and the japanese arbitration
treaty in paticular. Notice was then
served by Pacific coast senators that
they would never consent to another
treaty with Japan which might
obligate the United States to arbitrate
such issues as the one now involved
in the Japanese objection to the alien
land law, passed by the California
legislature
