 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-The body of Senator Penrose was brought to his bachelor home here today for a private funeral, which the family plans to hold as soon as possible.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-Arrange- ] ments for the funeral of Senator Pen rose are still incomplete, but it has | been decided that the burial will be strictly private and a congressional delegation probably will not attend, in accordance with the senator's wishes.
 | Expressions of regret continue to pour in from all sections of the coun- try, but none of them have been made public. .s a-.
 Governor Sproul announced yester- day that he had not decided on suc- cessor to Senator Penrose.
 | United States Senator Boies Pen- rose of Pennsylvania, one of the most interesting personalities in the Upper | House, which he entered in 1897 as the successor to the late Senator J. Donald Cameron, was one of the wealthiest bachelors in the Senate. ] An "Old Guard" Republican, he was a member of four important Senate committees, namely, the Finance Committee, of which he was chair man, Banking and Currency, Immi- grafton and Naval Affairs
 1 Chief lieutenant of Senator Mat thew Stanley Quay, whose represen- tative he had been in Pennsylvania legislature for many years. Penrose did not at first take a very promin- ent part in Republican party coun- cils at Washington. Until his death, however, he never lost prestige as the leader of his party in his own I state. Blunt at all times but with a reputation that could be trusted in a ] political deal, Senator Penrose made fast friends and irreconciIable enc mies The latter often charged him l with representing the interests"

China, as "a violation of every principle of the League of Nations and a bribe to Japan.' and declared it "dispos sessed 4O0oO,OOO Chinese of vital rights against their will"
 Special work for protective tariffs was Senator Penrose's chief legisla- tive hobby, particularly with refer ence to revenue legislation, and a1- thought his devotion did not result 1 in the passage of "Penrose bill." he will long be remembered for his ac tlvity along those lines He consist ently fought prohibition legislation. 1 He seldom made speeches in the Sen ate. reading few prepared addresses and those almost on fiscal affairs but he was quick in partisan repar- tee and his thrusts won for him the fame of humorist of the Upper House, both Democrats and Republi- cans enjoying his clever sallies.
 The Senator's long feud with the Ware political faction in Philadelphia was one of the outstanding features of his career. It showed him as a most resourceful fighter. As Penh- sylvania's National committeeman he was a "power behind the throne" in all Republican conventions, Senate and national councils. He and Sen ator Shoot were regarded as having largely forced President Taft's re- nomination in 1912, when Colonel Roosevelt bitterly assailed Penrose's s control of the convention
