OPIUM PARLEYE ENDS IN GENEVA
 WITHOUT ACTION
Great Britain Refuses To Sign LOng-Debated
 Agreement
(By Associated Press.)

GENEVA, Dec. 13.-The first opium conference, whose membership is con fined to opium producing countries, ad- journed sipe die this evening without the agreement and protocol, over which there has been much contention, having been signed. .s ...
 It was expected that the final sigma lures would be attached to the docu- ment today, but at the last moment Sir Malcolm Delevingne, of Great Brit. ain, declared that inasmuch as the sub feet of prepared opium had been preached at the Rome session of the council of the I9eague of Nations, he was under instructions to wait until he heard from Foreign Secretary Cham berlain before signing.
 Refuses To Sign
 Representative Bourgeois of France, also announced that he, too, was un- able to sign and Alfred Sze of China said: T should like to remark that for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, the first conference is peeu- liar"
 When the laughter had subsided, an adjournment was taken to await the answers of Great Britain and france.'
 At a plenary session of the second opium conference Egypt's proposal to have her hashish problem brought be- fore the proper subcommittee was adopted after opposition. Great Britain, India and France holding that this matter did not come within the scope of the present conference. Stephen G. Porter, of the American delegation, sup ported the Egyptian move, however, saying that, since there was no ques- tion of government revenue from the sale of the drug involved, the solu- tion should be fairly even.
 In discussing the conference with the press later MT. Porter said: Tn the midst of the vexations, delays and ag- gravations, the one oasis was the gra- tifying way in which all the South American nations supported us. This is also true of the smaller European re- publics and China" The second con ference will meet again Monday.
