Says He Did Not Recommend
Suspended Sentence as
Stated by Prosecutor.

When Pros. Floyd o. Jellison rec
commended that Leo Landsman be
given a suspended sentence after his
plea Of guilty to charges of grand
larceny, he told Judge Fred c. Klein
that the complaining witness did not
desire to prosecute.

Co, who signed the original af-
fidavit against LandSman, which
charged the latter with stealing main
springs and watch parts from the
company. declares he did not rec
ommend a suspended sentence for
Landsman.
"As far as the watch company is
concerned, it does not know but that
Landsman is still awaiting trial. I
wrote several letters TO Mr.. Jellison
asking him when Mr.. Landsman's
case would be heard. Officially /
have heard nothing since.
"Unofiicially I learned through
reading the newspapers that Mr..
Landsman had been given a sus-

Mr.. Zessinger.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The centuries
of quarrel between England and
Ireland was ended as had been fer
ventIy hoped. in the small hours Of
Tuesday by the signature in the
prime minister's cabinet room Of
"a treaty between Great Britain and
ireland. consisting Of eighteen arti-
cles. giving Ireland the title of The
irish Free state, and the same con-
stitutional status as Canada. Austria
liza and other overseas deminions.
The question OF the allegiance
which up to the last moment threat
ened 10 wreck the negotiations was
surmounted by permitting the mem
hers OF the Irish parliament 10 swear
allegiance to the constitution OF the
Irish free state and ''be faithful
TO his majesty the king"
The treaty has yet 20 run the
gauntlet OF the Ulster government Of
the imperial parliament. The imperi-
al parliament has been summoned
TO meet on Dec. IA, and will be open
ed in state by the king. who has Ia
ken the closest personal interest in
the Irish negotiations since he prac-
tically instigated them when he OPP
ened the Ulster parliament
Overwhelming Majority
Approval by the imperial parlia-
ment is a fOregone conclusion. as
the government has an overwhelm-
ing majority in the house Of COM
mons favoring its Irish policy, and
the action OF the British represen-
tatives in reaching the agreement
has already been endorsed by the
cabinet.
The position or Ulster is less
certain. Evidence comes from Bel
fast that the treaty will be subjected
20 the most searching examination
before receiving assent.
The King viii come to London
purposely Wednesday TO preside ov-
er the privy council 70 approve the
proclamation sUmmoning parliament
as the constitution requires six
days notice by royal proclamation.
The treaty was signed by all the
members of the British and Irish
delegations participating in the ne
gotiations. the Irish delegates sign
ing their Gaelic names.
Ireland is treated as a single en-
tity in the provisions Of the treaty
with special clauses providing
against the possibility that Ulster
should refuse acquiescence in the set

QUADRUPLE TREATY
IS ADVOCATED BY
FOREIGN NATIONS
Arms Delegates Busy Forming
Substitute for Anglo
Jap Alliance.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-The eff
fort 10 find an acceptable substitute
for the AnglO-Japanese alliance has
so diverted the attention of many OF
the arms delegates as 20 throw even
the question Of the naval ratio into
the background.
Both the Japanese and the British
have shown a desire TO include the
United States in any entente that
may replace the alliance. and a ten
tative treaty draft under considera-
tiOn by some OF the governments
concerned would provide a quadru-
pie arrangement. also including
France.
What may have been the attitude
of the American delegates in the be-
-the-scenes developments hav-
ing TO do with the proposal remains
a mystery. Taking the position that
no entente suggestion is formally
before them, the American repre-
sentatives steadfastly refuse TO dis
cuss publicly in any way the posi-
bility of American participation in
a political agreement regarding the
far east.
DclegateS cautious.
In the absence of an authorita-
tive explanation Of the American
viewpoint, the impression is gained
by the delegates OF other powers
that the American delegates are feel
ing their way very cautiously as
they desire to ascertain what course
would be in accord with American
official and public opinion.
Recognizing the senate's claim TO
partnership in the shaping Of inter-
national agreements, Secy Hughes
and his colleagues are said TO be
soLcitous that the sentiment of the
treaty ratifying branch OF the gov
eminent as well as that Of the exec
utive shall be taken into account.
How an accurate canvass Of SEN
ate opinion could be made in the
midst of negotiations, however,
presents still another puzzle. A gen
tlemen's agreement" or under
standing If that diplomatic instru-
ment were used I'm the place OF
treaty. would not require senate con
frmaton. but Pres. Harding and
other officials of his administration
have indicated repeatedly that they
do not propose to take steps which
senators might regard as ignoring
the senate's claim TO participate in
international policies.
All of these considerations are be-
ing carefully weighed by the foreign
