PHILADELPHIA, Fa., Jun. 5.—

same great secrecy that surrounded
the making of arrangements for the

any religious services. Newspaper re-

liurir.l ground.
The fact that the senator would be
buried today became known late yes-
terday wh n the city issued a permit
for interment for Jan. 5 or thereafter.
The Ipimeiiiate family of Senator I' n-
losc consists of ihree brothers.

Newspapers that regarded the burial
of a Fiiited States senator who had
lie.uri'd so largely in th ■ political his-
tory ef the country as an important
piece of news, set a watch on practi-
e lly I lie same basis as death watches
are ft on prominent persons who are
believed to be dying. A r port that
i'en.'tor Penrose's father was burled
ji'.iis ,'igo at midnight in order to
avoid undue publicity made the vigil
of reporters aiuioa an all-night af-
fair.
About 7:30 a. in. today the three

Poiitieal Leaders Fall to Sec Body.
Thus w. f! enacted the final scene in
the career of a man who could have
had on of the largest funera's 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 chieftain
and not one was invited to the bach-"
•dor home of the s nator where many
political conferences have been held.
Questions had been asked why the
family desired seer ey in the burial of
the senator and the answer of close
politlral friends was that Penrose
haled pomp and ceremony and vhat it
probably was his wish that be be
buried as simply and with as little
commotion as possibl . it is said lo
have been a tradition in the Penrose
family, which is one of the oldest In
the elly, that all funerals of members
be strictly private.

Washington, Jan. 5.—The American
proposal to prohibit use of submarines
against merchant ships was accepted
by the powers today at the same time
that Issues which have bulked large ill
the Far Eastern ncegotiations were
likewise being brought to a decision.
Under the submarine declaration
the United States, Great Britain,
France, Japan and Italy undertake as
between themselves not to employ un-
derwater craft as commerce destroy-
ers and invite the other nations of the
world to join in the agreement. The
decision, regarded every where as the
most significant naval achievement
since the capital ship agreement, came
out of <111 animated meeting of the
arms conference naval committee. It
was taken in many quarters as fore-
casting favorable action tomorrow 011
the further proposal to make viola-
tions of the rules of warfare by sub-
marine commanders acts of piracy.
Far Eastern Jssncs.
In the Far Eastern end of the con-
ference agreements w re reached for
amelioration of the foreign control of
China's tariff and for steps toward!
withdrawal of foreign troops from
Chinese soil, but the Shantung con-
versations hung fire and developed in-
dications of growing friction between
the Japanese and Chinese.
Deadlocked on Shantung.
So delicate was the situation re-
garding Shantung that the Chinese in-
dicated after today's session that they
had delivered a virtual "ultimatum"
declaring that separate exchanges by
the Chinese and Japanese must come
to an end tomorrow unless the latt- r
are ready to accept a counter pro-
posal tendered them today.
By the tariff agreement adopted by
the Far Eastern committee after the
Chinese had declared it did not meet j
their hope for restoration of tariff
autonomy a higher tariff rate is to
be granted China and a commission Is
to investigate the feasibility of further
increases in the future. It is estimat-
ed that the plan will result immedi-
ately In an annual increase of up-
wards of $50,000,000 In Chinese cus-
toms rev nties.

Washington, Jan, 5.—Further testi-
mony relating to the hanging of
American soldiers at Is-Sur-TilF was
presented today to the senate commit-
tee investigating charges by Senator
Watson, democrat, Georgia, that sol-
diers h ul been ex cute 1 without trial.
Herbert L. Cadeftheail of Greenville,
Miss,, former service man, declared
he had witnessed "ten or t\v lve" ex-
ecutions at Is-Sur-Tille while engaged
in transporting German prisoners by
truck in the vicinity of that place.
War department records previously
submitted to the committe • showed
that two soldiers were hanged at Is-
Sur-Tille after conviction by general
courtmartial and gave the total ex-
ecutions in the A. E. F. as eleven, all
after formal trial b fare military
courts.
Cadenhead did not know whether
any of the men he saw hanged had
been sent to their death without trial.
None of them, he said, made any
statements wh n on the gallows. Ha
described in detail the executions
which he claimed to have witnessed,
one of them being of a lieutenant
who, Cadenhead said, had b en charg-
ed with assault upon a 7-year-old
girl. *
Produces Photographs.
Cadenhead produced several small
photographs ot purported hanging
scenes.
"Your main criticism about the ex-
ecutions as set forth in your letter
to Senator Watson tvas that th >
French people should not have been
permittedr to see them?" Chairman
Brandegee asked.
"Yes, sir."
"See any barbarity'.'"
"No. The only thing I saw wa&that
sorn ■ of the men hanged were doped."
Pressed by Chairman Brandegee,
Cadenhead s iid till the executions ha
saw were around Is-Sur-Tille.
At this point Colonel Walter A. Be-
thel, who was General P rshing'a
judge advocate general in France,
stated that of the eleven executions
listed by the war department one took
plac • in December, 1017, three in 1913
and the others in 1919, after tlio
armistice.
'•Saw Soldier Shot.''
Lemuel O. Smith of Dublin, Va..
■ft ho had been in an institution for the
insane since the war, declared he saw
Major Opie shoot a soldier.
"While in a dugout with tlir e com-
rades and four German prisoners,"
said Stniih, "I saw Major Opie take a
gun and deliberately shoot a man.
The man Opie shot was William
Woolwine. He was shot in a dugout,
about in the middle of it. Opie was
ten steps from Woolwine."
"What did Major Opie say'.'" h-1 was
asked.
"He said, '1 shot him; take him
out.' "
"What was said before the shoot-
ing'.'"
"Not a word was passed. Major
(.'pie gave no reasons."
"How many shots were fired?"
"One. It hit Woolwine in the chest.
He was dead wh n we picked hlni
up."
Smith, in a letter to Senator Wat-
son, said he had been decorated by
tlie French and American govern-
ments, but in testimony he said Hut
he had received no such decorations.
"Why did you say it then?" he was
asked.
"A friend of mine, a patient In ths
hospital at Marlon with me, wrote tii»
letter and 1 signed it without read-
ing it."
Taking the witness, Senator Watsou
told Smith to compose himself and not
to be afraid of Major Opie or anybody
else in the committee room.
"Have you any personal grievance
against Major Opie?"
"None whatever. I told no on# to
write you that I had been decorated,
I was a volunteer."
Senator Watson took sharp excep-
tion to a line of cross-examination
by John A. Cuti bins of IMehmond,
Y.o, counsel for .Major Opie.
The lawyer bad asked Smith if !-•
believed a man killed in battle dl"d
an honorable death.
