Weather May Beat
Mrs. Stilnan miller
Witnesses Roundup
INV Associated Pressl

Montreal, Jan. 5.-Mrs. Anne U.
Stillman's contest with Canadian
weather turned against her again
when, heading for the second time
toward her summer camp at Grand
Anse, she ran into blizzard that
threatens the success of her roundup
of witnesses to oppose her husbands
divorce action in New York.
Mrs. Stillman started yesterday
for Three Rivers and Grand Piles,
whence she was driven back to Mon
treal on Monday by temperature of
40 degrees below zero, Grand Piles
is the jumping off place for a snow
shoe tramp or sleigh trip to Grand
An5a, some thirty miles farther
north.
Unless the severity of the wealth
er moderates, it is thought Mrs.
Stillman will not be able to continue
on to the camp, where her oldest
son, James (Bud) Stillman' is car
rying on the work of witness hunt
ing with the assistance of Fred
Beuavais, the Indian guide named as
correspondent by James A. Stillman,
New York banker.
Mrs. Stillman has pinned her faith
to the success of her efforts around
Grand Anse, in the neighborhood of
which live most of the witnesses who
testified in former hearings as to
her alleged relations with Beauvais.

Washington, Jan. With all other
problems of the arms conference
rapidly moving toward the point of
final settlement, the Shahtung nego-
tiations between the Japanese and
Chinese delegations alone today pre-
sented a dubious aspect as to whether
their resumption is to result in agree
ment or final deadlock. While the
far eastern committee of the whole
met today to take action on the deci-
sion of it's subcommittee on the Chi
nese tariff question, the two delega-
tions faced another meeting in their
effort to settle the CONTROVERSY which
has developed over the mode of pay
ment for the Kiaochow- Tsmanfu rail-
road in the former German leasehold.
In the first meeting yesterday since
the Conversations" were adpourned
because of the deadlock over this is
sue there were no outward indications
that either side had abandoned it's
former position on it. The meeting
was held late in the day after the ia
panese delegates had informed Secre-
tary Hughes and Arthur J. Balfour,
who, through their observers who had
been Sitting in" during the CONVEX
sations, were the indirect means of
bringing the two delegations togeth-
er in an effort to break their dead
lock, that they had received the in
structions awaited from Toxic and
were ready to meet again with the
Chinese. Evidence of revived hope in
many quarters for an early settlement
of lhA ISSUE following yesterdays
meeting was regarded as attributable
in some measure to the subsequent
statement issued by the two delega-
tions that the discussions would be
Completed" today. 1t was stated by
spokesman of the japanese dele
cation late last night. however, that
the statement SHOULD have said the
discussions would be "continucd" to-
day, although there was no official
amendment to that effect.
Japan Again Protesting.
In addition to expected ratification
by the far eastern committee of the
subcommittee decision to increase
China's tariff schedules under an in
ternational commission plan, that
body faced the possibility of encoun-
tering new troubles at today's meet
ing through China's request that the
famous "twenty one demands" be
brought up for conference discussion.
"A proteset against this course was
lodged by Japan at the last meeting
of the committee and stubborn de-
bate was expected by some delegates
before the point is decided.
With settlement of the technical
details of the naval limitation plan
now advanced by the naval experts
to a point where final disposition of
the subject was declared in some
quarters to be only a question of
hours, the problem of submarine reg
ulations also had been advanced am
other step toward decision today by
Japan's acceptance in principle of the
Root resolutions proposing to outlaw
the use of submarines against mer-
chant vessels. Italy alone remains to
accept the proposition and it was be-
lieved a discussion by the full naval
committee might take place late to-
day.

Remains Laid to Rest
Early in Morning, But
No Mourners
ARMED GUARDS POSTED
Reporters Even Barred
From Cemetery Dur
ing Ceremony

fllduelpnQd, Jan. O-lHe luHefdl
of Senator Boies Penrose was held
this morning, the same great secrecy
that surrounded the making of ar
rangements for the funeral being
maintained until the body of the pol
itical leader was lowered into the
brick lined grave in South Laurel Hill
cemetery.
No information was Forthcoming
whether there were any religious
services at the mouse or at the ceme-
terry. Newspaper reporters were not
admitted to the buriai ground.
The fact that the body of the sem
ator would be buried today became
nit for interment for January or
known late yesterday wh'n the Bu-
raau of Vital Statistics issued a per-
thereafter. The immediate family of
Senator Penrose, who was bachelor,
consists of three brothers. No in
formation was given out regarding
the funeral beyond the brief obituary
notice that the funeral would be
"strictly private"
Newspapers that regarded the bu-
rial of a United States senator who
had figured so largely in the political
history of the country as an impor-
tant piece of news, set watch on
practically the same plan as death
watches are set ON prominent per-
sons who are believed to be dying.
A report that Senator Penrose's fa-
ther was buried years ago at mid
might in order to avoid undue publici-
ty, made the vigil of reporters al
most an all-night affair.
Mystery Begins Early. =.
About 7:30 a. m. today, the three
brothers, Charles B., Richard and
Spencer, arrived at the Spruce street
home where the senator's body lay
and where he was born. Four auto
mobiles parked short distance from
the house about the same time. A
little later Charles Penrose, who is a
physician and had attended his broth
er, came out on the front step and
waved his arm, and seemingly from
nowhere a hearse approached the
house.
Afew minutes later, the body of
the senator was brought out by an
undertaker's assistants and the hearse
followed by the four automobiles, sup
posedly containing the families of the
three brothers, started for the GEM
etery.
Reporters who were on watch at the
cemetery yesterday were not admit
ted today and the newspaper men who
followed the funeral party through a
steady rain to the last resting place
of the dead senator were warmed that
if they entered the cemetery it would
be at their own peril. Guards were
stationed all around the place. The
funeral party was in the cemetery
about fifteen minutes and left before
IS a. m.
Thus was enacted the final scene
in the career of man who could have
had one of the largest funerals in the
history of the city. Political leaders
from every county in the state came
to Philadelphia within the last few
days to do honor to the dead chief
tain, and not one was invited tc
the bachelor home of the senator
where many political conferences have
been held. Close political friends
said Penrose hated pomp and cere-
mony.
Later in the day Senator Penrose
secretary said that there was some
sort of service at the grave, but he
did not know, he said, who conducted
la r.

Orlando, Jan. 5.-The Orlando
Chamber of Commerce announced
yesterday that reduction in season
rentals for tourist apartments in this

Dublin, Jan. 0.-Ihe aSt0nlSnment
produced in the dali eireann by Ea-
NOM de Valera's sudden production
of his alternative proposals to the
peace treaty, and his announced de-
termination to move them as an
amendment to the treaty at today's
session, have turne dinto anxiety
over the probable effect of the move
on tn further proceedings in the dali.
Mr.. de Valera's right to move his
proposals as an amendment has
been challenged and it is possible
that a critical division today may
occur on the motion to enable him
to carry out his plan. His opponents
declare he must reserve his alterna-
tive proposal until the dali has CIV
en- a direct vote on the treaty.
Ratifiers Are Chagrined.
Supporters of ratification express
themselves as deeply chagrined at
the turn affairs have taken. Some
see in De Valera's action an attempt
to rally the extreme republicans to
his side, while others profess to re-
gard it as the last desperate effort
of leader who sees his power slip
ping from his grasp.
From the confusion caused by his
launching what the followers of Ar
thur Griffith seem agreed to call
document number three" it is diff
ficult to evolve any concrete view
of the probable result and most OBJ
servers, after expressing their per-
sonal opinions of De Valera's ac-
ton, say the unraveling of the tan
gle must await today's proceedings
of the dali.
Meanwhile strong condemnatory
comments appears. in the Dublin
nAwspapeys.
London, Jan. 5.-Few English
newspaper correspondents in Dub
lin venture opinions as. to the result
of Eamonn de Valera's suddenly an
nounced plan to amend the Irish
peace treaty, but all record the
amazement caused by his action, and
the doubts arising from it. They
generally agree that entrance of this
new factor has greatly altered the
situation and that the action of the
dali cannot be predicted.
Some writer's avoid any comment
on Mr.. de avlera's move while 9TH
i,ers characterize it variously as q
change in his position to align him
self with the extreme republicans,
the last throw of the lead of lost
cause, an attempt to evade alterna-'
tive Of accepting or rejecting the

DIR. WALKER RETURNS FROM
PLEASANT TRIP TO COAST

DIR. j. ID. Walker returned Tuesday
evening from n pleasant trip To the
Pacific coast, having left here June
5th. His primary object was to take
in the annual national convention Of
the Order of the Mystic Shrine. which
was held at San Francisco on June 10,
II and 15.
He went first to Salt Lake City and
from there to Los Angeles, visiting
also at the Catalina Islands. At Los
Angeles he saw the Dollard girls and
Ed McCully. From Los Angeles he
went up to San Francisco to take In
the convention, being one of q large
representation from Ell Jebel temple
of Denver. The other Colorado tenn
pie, Ell Kaleh Of Pueblo, was aso
largely represented at the convention.
Shriners from all over the United
States were present in force, and
many attended from Hawaii, Panama,
Alaska and Canada.
Literally hundreds of perfectly
trained drill teams marched in the
parades, and between rs and 80
Shrine bands were present. DR..
Walker likens the convention to an
eight-ring circus-too much doing all
the time for one man to take in all Of
it.
After the convention, he took .
trip thru the Northwest, going TO
Portland and Seattle and from there
over the line to Victoria, B. c., re-

LATE RAINS Lessons
DANGER FOREST FIRES

The danger Of forest fires in the
mountains Is very grave and the for
est officers sound an urgent note OF
warning against any sort Of negiig-
ence that will get one started A few
local showers during the week have
failed to relieve the situation to any
extent. One million acres Of govern
ment range, half of which is in the
national forests, is rs dry a. finder,
ready TO fash into . disasterous fire.
Besides the blaze on Taylor river
mentioned last week. three other
small fires have been caught in time
TO put them out before much damage
was done. One % these occurred in
the iron swamp above Crested Butte,
. second on Crystal creek, another
branch Of Taylor river, and q third
on the North Fork above Paonia.
Much smoke has been coming over
the West Elks from the North Fork
district, but the forest Office Sc
cures information that this il caused
by fire Of considerable size on the
Battlement Mesa Forest.
Until the summer rains begin to
soak up the range, use your utmost
care to prevent fro getting started.
Conditions have not been SO danger
Gus in many years rs they are right
new.
We understand the forestry people
have considerable evidence Of neglig-
ehce concerning the start of two Of tho
local fires. and intend to prosecute to
the full extent Of the law, and the
fine is q very large one.

RAIL- GAMES rOR CELEBRA-
TION BEING ARRANGED

An attractive new feature Of the
Cattlemen's celebration July 19-20-21
will be baseball tournament between
the fashy teams Of Montrose, Somer-
set and Gunnison team now being
Organized. H. U. Gavette, rs chair
man of the baseball committee, has
completed arrangements for the series
Of three games to be played forenoons
Of the celebration days: This will iilI
in the mornings and furnish fine en-
tertainment for the visitors who par
ticularly like baseball, and there are
hundreds especially from the mining
camps who care more for baseball
than FOR wild west features.
L. B. Lashbrook Is manager Of the
Gunnison nine, and has o bunch of
lilQoly material trying out for the diff-
erent positions. There is lots of good
baseball talent in our city, but up to
this time no effort has been made to
weld II into a team. II they show up
well at the tournament, the season
will be continued.
The purse hung up is $500 to be
split three ways, $3.50 as a prize the
first forenoon, winner to take all;
$3.50 the second day and 5000 for the
third or final game. The visiting
teams are given no guarantee of ex-
pense. but the winner takes the entire
prize money.
Baseball is very likely sport in
Western Colorado this season, but
Gunnison has been out Of it. Mont
rose and Somerset both have crack-a-
jack teams. This baseball tourna-
ment is going to be the stuff.
Our team will play its first game
with Lake City on the Fourth.
