OF brutal murder at Colonial
Beach. Va was Mrs. Clement
Chambers. sister of Roger d. East
lake, who together with Miss
Sarah Knox. is under arrest for the
murder of his wife. Mrs. Chambers
appearance, though a surprise to
most Of those gathered for the
services. was prompted by her re-
gard for her deaed sister-in-Iaw
and her continued faith in her
brothers innocence
The body of the murdered vo-
man arrived at the North Philadel-
phia station at 1:20 in the after
noon and was taken at one to the
Grace Episcopal Church at -MourS
Airy. where Mrs. Eastlake was once
Teacher in the Sunday School and
and where she is, said to have met
Eastlake.
The church was filled. Outsids IN
the chill. drizzling rain a long line
OF automobiles waited. The crowd
consisted almost entirely Of reIa.
t1ves and close personal friends of
the dead woman. The absence OF
the morbidly curious was marked
The younAgwoman had been a pop.

the rector. the Rev. Thomas s.
Cline. $500.
Following the services Mrs. Cham

she left the church: 80.
My brother Is not guilty, / am
sure of it," she said. Roger was
always quiet and loving In his
ways It would not have been pos
sible for him to have done such
a thing. He loved his wife and
and would not have con-
sitered any sacrifice on his part too
great to make for them. This

Clemenceau Speaks at
Dedication of His
Own Statue.
NJ INI M IL E S ARMS
CONFERENCE PLAN
Former Premier Urges
Full Application of
Peace Treaty.

ST. HERMNE, France. Oct.s-
Speaking at the dedication of a
statue TO himself. Georges Clemen-
ceau again defended the treaty of
Versailles Sunday. denouncing the
Spa and Hythe agreements. because
he said they tend to weaken the
treaty and minimized the impor-
tance Of the impending disarma-
rnent conference in Washington
The address was received in
rather a kindly mood by the French
press, and there seems to be no
great alarm among Clemenceau's
adversaries in Journalism over this
speech. il IL is to be taken as the
beginning of his return to public
life. Even some of Clemenceau's
friends were constrained to refer TO
te 'Old Mans" speech as lengthy,
irrelevant. and largely of local his
torical interest"
Annoyed by Cameramen.
Clemenceau was said to have been
secretly annoyed because Gen. Per-
sEing at this time was occupying
most of the limelight, and he
showed ill-temper in insisting that
press photographers refrain from
swapping him. He finally demanded
that the mayor protect him, where
upon the gendarmes took charge OF
the photographers.
We might find the Washington
conference a good enough occasion
for the redress of errors in the exc
cution of the treaty of Versailles,
said Clemenceau at one point in hi!
address More than ever arc tn,
interests of our people concerned
France will hear every appea
which promises to assure durable
conditions Of European peace.
America wants general peac,
just as much as England an,
France do. 1t was for this reason
that she interviewed against Ger
rany. What a strange elilogus /
she has only convoked the rights o
civilization in order to notify then
of her disintsrestedness in tn,
cause of humanity for which sh,
shed her blood. But that canno
be So"
Clemenceau called on public
opinion to insist upon an integra
application of the treaty of Yer
sailles in peace.
Tn the traps OF peace. as in war:
convulsions. patrie above every
thing" he shouted.
Clemenceau did not refer to an,
of his political adversaries as such
though he did direct slap at Pres
ident Mille-and. who was minister
of war in 1914. charging that vic
tory was bought at a greater cos
than was necessary, due to tn,
shortage of heavy guns.

Woman Wanted for
Stabbing Mrs. Esposito
Surrenders to Police

Chicago, July 25.-Mrs. Emilia Pan
leo, wanted by the police for the stab
bing to death Sunday of Mrs. Mary
Esposito, walked into the Maxwell
street station Monday afternoon and
surrendered. Earlier in the day the
police announced that if Mrs. Panico
did not give herself up, they would send
her six small children away. This ap
peal to her mother instinct is believed
to have induced the. fugitive to leave
her hiding place.
The murder of Mrs. Esposito, at first
thought to have been part of the
Nineteenth ward political feud, was at
tributed today to jealousy aroused over
the attentions Mrs. Panico's husband
is alleged to have paid Mrs. Esposito
following the murder of her husband
several months ago.

JAPAN'S ATTITUDE
ON DISARMAMENT
IS EXPECTED SOON
America Awaits Response to
Latest Note Before Express
ing Her Conference Views.

Washington, July 25.-H the expec-
tations of official circles here are
realized the next day or two will see
Japan's attitude toward the scope of
the disarmament conference definitely
defined and the way cleared for the
more formal diplomatic exchanges that
are to bring the conference into
being.
Although the conclusions of the
japanese advisory council have not
been officially communicated to the
state department, the belief here is
that comprehensive communication
on the subject at issue will be re-
ceived from Toxic shortly in response
to the latest American representations
sent through the American embassy
there.
1t is understood that once the unre-
served participation of Japan and
the other invited powers in the con-
ference is assured, the American gov
ernment would have no objection to an
interchange of views as to what ques-
tions should be considered properly
within the scope of the negotiations.

FIRE CR|PP[ES
CLAN 7 LINER
Mauretania Is Seriously
Damaged by Blaze
Starting in Saloon.

Southampton. July 25.-(By The
Associated Press. Fire broke out to-
day in the first cabin of the Maure-
tania of the Cunard line, sister ship
of the old Lusitania and, spreading
rapidly, developed into a serious con-
flagration. At eight o'clock tonight,
many hours after the outbreak, the
flames were still eating into the inter
ior of the great steamship.
The fire is supposed to have origin
ated from a lighted cigarette dropped
upon the carpet in the main saloon.
The damage is estimated at many
thousands of pounds, and it is said it
will take months to repair the vessel
The Mauretania, at the time of her
launching in September 1906, was the
largest steamer in the world. Her ton
mage is 32,5O0 and her length 100 feet
During the world war she served as
British hospital ship for time, and
she brought American troops back to
the United States in 1918 and the fol-
lowing year. Latterly she was re-
turned to the New York -Southhamp-
ton passenger service.
