FIRST STEP TO FREE CHINA OF
 FOREIGN EVILS
Associated Press Night Wire,

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 28. Taking its first direct action to- ward liberation of China from for eign influences the arms conference today agreed on the withdrawal of foreign postoffices and postal sys- tems from China.
 The decision was conditioned only on the maintenance of China of ef- ficient postoffice facilities, including of the present domestic or ganization by which a French CO., director general acts as advisor to the Chinese postal authorities. Janu- ary l, 1923, virtually was agreed up- on as the date of withdrawal, the Japanese alone withholding final ap- proval on that point pending consul tation with Tokio.
 Constituting the first concrete ap- plication of the principle of Chinese administrative integrity s delineated in the -four points" of Elihu Root, the postal agreement is expected to be followed tomorrow by another for the gradual abolition of extra ter ritorial rights under which a dozen foreign governments have set up their own courts and by discussion of China's request that foreign troops quartered be withdrawn. The question of troop withdrawal may lead delegates into some Of the most troublesome questions of the far east.
 Along with the foreign troop ques- ton the Chinese will ask for con sideration of the status of certain foreign telegraph and wireless sys- tems which they declare exist in China without her consent.
 In Japanese quarters it was said that the Tokio government was ready to withdraw its troops from the areas not covered by treaty stipula- tions when China could insure safety of Japanese nationals and property in those zones.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 2S.- Roscoe Arbuckle, motion picture comedian, spoke his first line today in the tragic drama of which he has been the central figure since its in ception September last.
 Arbuckle told from the witness stand his own story of the happen ings at a party in his room at the Hotel St. Francis here which pre- ceded by few days the death of Virginia Rappe, one of those who attended.
 It was at this party that the girl received injuries which caused her death, the prosecution contends, and it is this allegation that forms the basis of Arbuckle's trial now draw ing to a close on the charge of man. slaughter
 The defense closed at 5:2S p. m. after a vain attempt to obtain ad- mission into the record of state ment by George Glennon, house de- tective at the Hotel St. Francis, which it was contended, would ex- onerate Arbuckle of any responsi- bility for Miss Rappe's injury.
 Arbuckle's direct examination was completed in 20 minutes. his at torneys leading him over the ground to be covered in such short time

that 1t surprised many in the court room. In a clear, loud voice, Ar buckle denied that he inflicted the injuries on Miss Rappe that have been charged against him.
 When 1 went into my room dur ing the party to dress for an engage ment I had with a friend, Mrs. May Taube, l found Miss Rappe on the bathroom floor writhing and moan ing" he said. "When I opened the door of the bathroom it struck against her"
 "I assisted her in the bathroom all l could. Then 1 placed her on the bed in my room and continued to as- sist her. She was moaning and writing and nothing she said could be understood by me"
 Arbuckle said he did not know that the party was planned until Miss Fey Provost, Miss Rappe, Alice Blake, Alfred Semnacher and other guests arrived.
 Arbuckle denied the truth of state ments reported to have been made by him following the party that he placed a piece of ice on Miss Rappe's body. He had found the ice on the girls body. he explained, but was taken to task by Mrs. Bambina Maud Delmont for picking it up and there upon put it down again.

ELDERLY MAN ENDS LIFE WITH
 REvO[VER IN DESERTEDPLAZA;;
 DESPONDENCY THOUGHT. MOTIVE
]. s. Ambrose Puts Bullet Into Brain During Supper Hour; Found by Passing Woman and Sheriff; Was Man of Silence

Joseph s. Ambrose, an elderly car penter of this city, during the hour when citizens were at supper and the plaza deserted, yesterday evening made his way to dark and solitary corner of the square near the court house, placed the muzzle of a .32 calibre double-action Colt revolver behind his right ear, and pulled the trigger A moment later he was found on the sidewalk, by Mrs. Mary Cummings, who happened to be passing near the plaza when she heard the shot, and rushed to the scene. He was struggling on the walk, with bullet hole in his head.
 The shot with which Ambrose for some reason ended his life was also heard in the sheriff's office, where Deputy Sheriff Fred Escher was at the time Escher immediately went out to the scene, where he was join ed by Deputy Norman Nellis. Dr. H. T. Southworth was immediately called, but Ambrose lived for only a few minutes.
 (. H. McLane was notified, and came to the scene in his Capacity of coroner. C. A. Amberg, of Ruff ner's undertaking establishment, was also called, and the body was re- moved to the establishment
 No reason except despondency has thus far been assigned for the sui eide. J. s. Ambrose was about $ years of age, and for the past 30 years he had lived like hermit, all though generally in communities like Prescott and its nearby mining camps. He lived at the Brinkmeyer hotel here.
 Thirty years ago, with a consider able sum of money i'll his possession, he engaged in the hardware business at Glendale where, it is said, he had lost heavily. Since then he had adopted a solitary mode of life. Friends said at times he would never break silence for months at a time. but seemed as one who had suffered a great misfortune and was thinking of his troubles.
 He did odd jobs and occasionally spent a few weeks at mining camps, where he is supposed to have been a timberman. He is also said to have been a member of the local carpenters union.
 He formerly lived at both Glen dale and Phoenix, where he was thought to have had relatives, but it has been impossible thus far to dis cover whether or not he is survived by any relatives living in this part Of the world
 Coroner McLane last night said an inquest would be held at 10 o'clock this morning.

PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL GLASS
 WORKERS |S INDICTED; CHARGE
 CONSPIRACY TO KEEP PRICE UP
Associated Press Night wire)

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The fed eral grand jury late today returned an indictment charging -5l individ- uals and B corporations in the win dow glass industry with violation of the Sherman antitrust law. J. M. Neenan, president of the National Glass Workers Union, was indicted on similar charge.
 In naming President Neenan the indictment charges conspiracy be- tween the labor union and the glass producers to limit production en- .abling defendants arbitrarily to keep mp prices.
 The Johnston Brokerage company, an alleged selling agency, also was named. This agency, the indictment declared, was part of "a price scheme to enable defendants to com bine to dictate. terms of sale and to eliminate competition
 Indictment of MT. Neenan, accord ing to William Hayward, federal dis trict attorney, will test the validity of provisions of the Clayton act and the civil sundries bill extending i'm munities to labor organizations under the antitrust laws.
