Alienist States
Burch's Actions
Prove His Sanity

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Jan. s.
DR.. Thomas ]. Orbison, an alienist
called by the prosecution, was the
only witness today in the trial of
Arthur G.. Burch. who is accused of
numbering j. Belton Kennedy. DIR.
Orbison's examination, which began
yesterday occupied more than nine
hours. He maintained throughout
that Burch was sane. Virtually all
this time was taken up with cross
examination at the hands of Paul w.
Schenck, chief of defense counsel q.
Schenck asked the witness the same
hypothetical question which had
ELECTED from five witnesses called by
the defense an assertion that Burch
was insane.
DIR. Orbison replied that the change
in Burch's behavior outlined in the
question did not necessarily, taken
in connection with my own observa-
ton. mean that this was the case"
The alienist repeated fragments of
conversations he said he had with
Burch which he said were indica-
tions the defendant used sound
Judgment"
On one occasion he said. Burch told
him he would prefer to spend ten
years in an asylum TO being hanged.
Another time, he said, Burch seemed
to dislike the insanity plea, and said
he had a good" day in court and
thought he would be acquitted with
out such defense.

ROOTS ANTI SUBMARINE
RESOLUTION ADOPTED AS
PART OF LAW OF NATIONS
French Delegate Inserts Clause Prohibiting
Violation of Civilized Rules of Warfare AS
"They Were Violated In War of I0I4-I8"

Lee. for the British group, expressed
his appreciation of the prompt. Off
cial repudiation by M. Sarraut of the
French group, of the writings OF
Captain Castex OF the French naval
staff, sustaining the German theory
OF submarine warfare. Lord Lee
had read extracts from these writ
lngs to the committee to explain Brit
ish apprehensions as to Frances deA
sire for increased submarine tom
mage.
M. Sarraut replied to Lord Lee TO-
day, indicating that the incident had
served to clear the air between the
French and British groups OF any
possibility OF misunderstanding as TO
Frances attitude. A moment later,
on motion of the French, the repu-
diation of the whole German theory
and practice as to submarines was
incorporated in the anti-submarine
resolution.
Five Power Treaty Next
With its chief remaining topic--the
anti-submarine declaration favor
ably disposed OF, the naval committee
was moving swiftly toward culmi-
nation of its work in the final draft
ing OF the five power naval treaty.
Naval experts worked today at de-
tails Of the technical questions still
to be settled and as fast as a clause
was completed, 1t was hurried to the
legal experts for overhauIing.
There are several points still to be
fixed in policy by the naval COM
mittee. One Is the proposal 10 limit
the size OF auxiliary warships other
than airplane carriers to 10000 tons.
That is expected to be agreed to to-
morrow.
Another point to be developed is a
provision for future conferences for
change Of the five power pact should
scientific or political changes" come
which seemed to any signatory power
to justify such course. This pro-
vision contemplates the possibility
that new agencies OF naval warfare
may be devepoled, rendering new
agreements necessary. 1t also pro-
vides against the possibility that
some power or group OF powers out
side the pact. should arise equipped
with such naval strength as might
make the limitations imposed upon
signatory powers dangerous to one
or more of them.
Aside from this provision, it was
said, there Is nothing In contempla-
lioll WHICH WVulu paw Ahc NHy AoA
elaboration OF the limitation pact into
an agreement to confer in case OF
threatened outside aggression against
one of the five signatory powers. The
future conferences to be provided for,
will be limited to the subject matter
OF the five power treaty, it was
stated.
The treaty also will contain den-
milton OF a ship of war, It was indi-
Gated. There will be no attempt how
ever, to define a merchant ship be-
yond the extensive legal and interna-
tional literature on the subject al
ready existing.

SHANTUNG PROBLEM
APPEARS FAR FROM
PEACEFUL SOLUTION


WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-The Shan
tung controversy again appeared
hopeless Of solution late today when
after a two and a half hour session
between the japanese and Chinese
delegations devoted to consideration
OF the return of the Kioa Chow
Tsinawfu railway. the latter an
nounced that unless the japanese ac-
cepted the Chinese plan for payment
of the road in cash or installments
by tomorrow. the conversations"
would be ended. Only q renewal of
the good offices" of Arthur j. Bal
four and Secretary Hughes, 1T was
said, could then bring about a meet
ing of the two governments.
The Chinese delegation, definitely
refused to accept the japanese pro-
posal for payment OF the railway by
a japanese loan, wellington Koo,
Chinese delegate said, but the Chi
nese made a concession regarding
immediate deposit OF 32,0O0,0O0 Chi
nese dollars as a cash payment.
Unless the Japanese accept either
this offer or our alternative ofter 70
pay in installments at tomorrow s
meeting, that will be the last meet
ing" DR.. Koo said.
When the conversations We're
abandoned two weeks ago, after
deadlock had been reached both on
the mode of payment and manage
ment of the disputed road, the Jap
anese had demanded an immediate
cash deposit of the purchase price, II
thev decided to accept cash for re-
turn Of the road at the end or nine
months as they tentatively agreed to
do if other details could be worked
out. This the Chinese said they were
unable to do, but agreed to make
three payments over the nine months
neriod the last to be on the date of
actual turning over of the road.
The Chinese today agreed to make
the Immediate deposit in full by
placing at the disposal Of the Japan
ese bankers consortium,
The alternative Chinese plan pro-
vided for payment over period Of
70 wears with an option to take up
the remaining notes after three
years. This offer still held good, DR..
Koo announced.
NJ intimation could be obtained
from the japanese concerning their
attitude but it was understood they
stood firm on their insistence on
lending the money with which to buy
the road back.

MAJOR OP|E makes DRAMATIC
DENIAL Of CHARGES THAT He
SHOT 2MEN IN HIS COMMAND
[RepubIloan A. P. Leased wIreI


WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-Sweeping
denial of charges that he had shot
two of his men while his command,
part of the Twenty ninth division,
was in the thick of the Argonne fight
ing, was made before a senate in
vestigating committee today by Mai.
H. L. Opie of Staunton, Va, and near
ly a dozen men serving with him
overseas.
Only one voice was lifted against
Major Ohie today, that of a shell
shocked victim of the war, now a
patient in a Virginia hospital for the
insane. The witness, Lemuel c.
Smith, declared that while in dug
out with three companions and four
German prisoners, Major Opie fired
and shot and killed a soldier and
then ordered the body removed with
out uttering q word.
In rapid succession the comrades
mentioned by Smith swore they saw
no killing. that they were not in the
dugout and that they knew of no evil
dence to suppori the charges.
Breaking down while witnesses
were telling the committee that for
his services in the Argonne ending
in a hospital, he was awarded a dis
unguished service cross, the legion
OF honor and the croix de guerre.
with two palms Major Opie quickly
recovered and calmly but with en-
phasis asserted that he never fired
a revolver while in the army.
Major Opie explained how he had
attempted to get his men in a line
after they had been demoralized and
were running wildly. A tense sit
uation found him alone in the eff
fort to reform the lines. At the mo-
ment he was without side arms and
wearing a raincoat, the insignia on
which was covered with mud, and II
was with difficulty that he could
make the men halt.
Il took a rifle AMI fired twice." he
declared, knowing what was doing.
One shot was fired in the air and
one in the ground. Nobody was hit.

with emphasis.

Dean G. M. Butler
Perfects Electric
Mineral Locator
Republican A. p. Leased WlreI


TUCSON, AriZ., Jan. 5.-Director
G. M. Butler of the Arizona Bureau
of Mines, announced here yesterday
that that organization has perfected
and applied for patents on an cleo
trical process for locating ore bodies
beneath the surface OF the earth
which may reyolutionize the mining
industry in the United States. DR..
Butler is also dean of the College OF
Mines and Engineering of the Uni
versity of Arizona and one of the
leading technical and mining experts
of the west.
Announcement OF the invention,
now claimed as practical and proved
by actual application to be the fore
runner of new era in prospecting,
was made publicly by Director But
Ter before q meeting of the board of
regents of the university here. DR..
Butler declared that while the Bu-
reau of Mines has known for several
months the electrical ore finding de-
vice is practical. 1t was not deemed
advisable to make a public avowal
until a patent had been applied for.
Applications for supplementary pat
ents TO cover new features perfected
recently will probably be made soon,
it was stated.
All aspects of the invention were
worked out by experts on the staff
of the Bureau of Mines which is a
public institution maintained by the
state of Arizona.
Dr. Butler indicated that the depth,
size, and other information regard
ing concealed copper ore bodies may
be ascertained with the electrical
device which operates upon scientific
principles only and embodies none of
the features of the touch stick and
other traditional and impractical ma
chimes. The exact grade of ore de-
posits cannot, however, be learned
with the invention.
Experiments with the other types
of ore have proved successful to q
more or less extent, it was stated,
and in no attempt on record has the
device proved inaccurate or unre-
liable in regard to copper ore, al
though 1t has been experimental with
in every mining region in Arizona.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5--The five
greatest naval powers of the world
decreed today as between themselves
abolishment Of submarine warfare
against merchant ships. To purge
the seas forever of this hidden men,
ace to peaceful folk and ships, the
world is asked to subscribe to the
decree as new principle of interna-
tional law.
AS adopted by the naval committee
of the arms conference the resolution
proposed by Elihu Root and amend
ed by Arthur j. Balfour, to become
Immediately effective between the
five signatory powers, runs as fol-
lows:
The signatory powers recognize the
practical impossibility Of using sub
marines as commerce destroyers
without violating, as they were vio-
lated in the war of 1914-19lS, re-
quirements universally accepted by
civilized nations for the protection of
the lives of neutrals and non-com-
batants, and to the end that the pro-
hibition of the use of submarines as
commerce destroyers shall be uni
versally accepted as a part Of the
law of nations they now accept that
prohibition as henceforth binding as
between themselves and they invite
all other nations to adhere thereto"
Action of the committee Is final
so far as the conference and the five
naval powers are concerned. The
conference merely will give formal
ratification to the anti submarine pact
when the five power treaty in which
it will be incorporated comes up in
open session.
The naval committee also adopted
teh first Root proposal to declare in
simplest terms to the rules of inter-
national law applying TO merchant
vessels their full application to sub
marines and the invitation of the five
powers to all other nations to join
in the declaration.
When the naval committee adj
journed, the third Root proposal to
declare violations Of the rules laid
down by submarines acts of piracy
for which submarine commanders
could be held to account personally,
regardless of orders they may have
received from their governments, was
still to be taken up. 1t was indicated
that it also would be adopted.
Ban German Sub Practices
In its final form, the resolution de-
claring submarine warfare against
merchant ships abolished, so far as
the five powers are concerned showed
a direct relation to the German war
time practices not included in the
original draft. The clause, "as they
were violated in the war 1s14-19lS,"
was inserted on motion Of the French
delegation.
Some significance may attach to
the fact that it was the French
group which made this amendment
in view of the misunderstanding"
OF the French attitude on submarine
warfare which brought the commit
tee deliberations to tense moments
when the question of limitation of
submarine tonnage was under dis
cussion. In that connection, Lord

Body of Senator

With Simplicity
[RepubIlcan A. P. Leased Wlrel


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5.-Buried
with the greatest simplicity, as was
his desire, the body of Senator PEN
rose tonight rested in brick lined
grave IN South Laurel Hill cemetery
beside that of his father. The grave
was devoid of flowers. Guards who
were thrown around the grave after
the undertaker's assistants had low
cred the bronze lined casket into it
shortly before a. m, were still there
late today.
The same great secrecy that
marked the making of arrangements
for the funeral was maintained until
the end. No information beyond the
brief obituary notice that the funeral
would be strictly private" was given
out.
Only the late senator's three broth
ers, DR.. Charles B., Richard A. +. and
Spencer Penrose and their families;
Leighton C. Taylor, his secretary. .and
the nurse who accompanied the body
from Washington, were in the funeral
party. AS the small cortege passed
into the cemetery the gates were
locked and the curious were warned
away by the guard.
No questions were answered ana no
one was permitted to see even from
a distance the brief rites.
Mr.. Taylor said tonight that there
had been a short service at the grave,
but that he did not know whether It
was conducted by minister. There
were no services at the house.
Everything was done in accordance
with Senator Penrose's wishes, he
said.
The win OF Senator Penrose, leav-
ing his entire estate to his three
brothers, was the simplest of docu-
ments. 1t was filed late today. The
estate Is valued at 100000 and up
wards" but friends said it was
worth many times that sum. There
were no public or individual be-
quests.

Spirited Bidding In
Government Auction
Of Lou Grade Woods
TRepubIIcan A. ?. Leased WIrel

BOSTON, Jan. 5.-Bidding was
spirited throughout the government
wool auction today, when the gov
ernment offered eight million pounds,
mostly Of low grade woods. Every
pound offered was sold. The woods
went largely to dealers, although
some manufacturers, including the
American Woolen company, were
buyers.
Prices showed an advance Of 20
to 25 per cent on the average as COM
pared with the previous sale in early
December. The strength of the sale
indicates the growing scarcity of
available wool. The government has
left between ten and eleven million
pounds of wool.
