PHILADELPHIA, Jan. s. Buried
with the greatest simplicity as was
his desire, the body of Senator Pen

grave in south Laurel Hill Cemetery,

was devoid of flowers. Guards who
we're thrown around the grave after

late today.
The same great secrecy that mark

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

Leighton c. Taylor, his secretary, and
the nurse who accompanied the body

BELGIUM WILL
OPPOSE GIVING
germany TIME
Tinv Kingdom Against Plans
That Will Cut Down Her
Share of Payments

CANNES, Jan. 5.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The program for the
Forthcoming international economic
conference was uppermost in today's
conversations between premiers and
delegates to the supreme council,
which meets tomorrow.
The French view has been that the
agenda should be laid down in ad-
vance. 1t Is understood that Premier
Lloyd George of Great Britain. agreed
to this, and that the question will be
the first discussed by the council.
In addition to a continuance of the
private talks between Premier BRAND
of France, and Lloyd George, BRAND
had a lengthy conversation today
with the Marquis Della Torreta, Ital-
ian minister of foreign affairs, and
also saw Premier Theunys, of Bel
gium and Baron Hayashi of Japan.
Today's developments seemed to con-
firm the impression that the allies
are agreed on the principle of an econ
omic conference, though still debat-
ing details.
Preparations were discussed by the
experts today, the Belgians opposing
any modification in the schedule of
payments that likely would compro-
mise their priority on the 2,500,000,-
900 gold marks due by Germany.
The French delegation is backing
the Belgians, but it is inclined to
make concessions to the British view
point to the extent of reducing cash
payments to 600.000.000 gold marks
annually and the rest of the repara-
tions in kind. The British go farther
and desire to reduce the deliveries in
kind So that the total, both in cash
and in kind. can be reduced about 25
per cent from the Paris agreement,
or 1.500000000 gold marks.
Participation by Germany in the
eventual economics conference is
now taken for granted, but there still
is discussion as to what would be the
consequences of the presence of Rus
sian Soviet delegates, which, II is
held in French circles, would be tan
tamount to recognition OF the Bolshe-
Wiki regime.

were answered and no one was per
mitted to see, even from a distance
the brief rites. So
Taylor said tonight that there had
been 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 ac-
cordance with Senator Penrose's
wishes, he said.
The will 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 bequests.
The will was written on a single
sheet of paper, and dated June 10,
1905. 1t states that his entire estate
is bequeathed to his three brothers,
who also were named as executors.
The brothers. however, have waived
their rights as executors in. favor of
financial institution. The executors
were instructed to file mo inventory

When the conversations were aban-

ONE DETAIL REMAINING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-(By the
Associated Pressl The five great
est naval powers of the world de-
creed today as between themselves
abolishment of submarine warfare
against merchant ships. To purge the
seas forever of this hidden menace
to peaceful folk and ships, the world
is asked to subscribe to the decree as
new principle of international law.
AS adopted by the naval commit
tee of the arms conference, the reso-
luton proposed by Elihu Root and
amended by Arthur j. Balfour, to be-
come Immediately effective between
the five signatory powers, runs as
follows:
"The signatory powers recognize
the practical impossibility of using
submarines as commerce destroyers
without violating, as they were vIo-
lated in the war of 1914-1918, require
ments universally accepted by civil
lied nations for the protection OF
the lives of neutrals and non-combat-
ants, and to the end that he prohibi

tions, they now accept that prohibit
ton as henceforth binding as be-
tween themselves and they invite all
other nations to adhere thereto"
Action Is Final
Action of the committee IS final so
far as the conference and the five
powers are concerned. The conference
merely will give formal ratification
to the anti-submarine pact when the
treaty in which it will be
incorporated comes up in open ses-
sion.
The naval committee also adopted
the first Root proposal to declare IN
simplest terms the rules of interna-
tional law applying to merchant ves-
sells, their full application to subma-
rines and the invitation Of the five
powers to all other nations to join in
the declaration.
When the naval committee ad-

declare violations of the rules laid
down by submarines acts of piracy
for which submarine commanders
could be held to account personally.

received from their governments. was

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

then, after half a dozen of Major
Opie's men had testified that they

the major spoke in his own defense,
declaring there was no truth in the
accusations and that he never shot
a man in his life"
