"l0 Points !
Steps Taken By Committee on
Far East, Looking to Aban.
donment of Foreign
4 Courts.
Press Other Demands

Washington. Nov. 2o.--China won
further concessions today IN the con-
ference OF the nine powers on ques-
tions affecting the Pacific and the
far east. ar,.
In conformity. with the Root res
olutions declaring for the territorial
and administrative integrity OF
China, the Pacific and far eastern
committee adopted resolutions look
ing TO abandonment of foreign courts
in China.
The resolutions drafted by the SUBJ
committee, headed by Senator Lodge
provide for an international commis-
sion OF jurists, which is TO report
within a year whether the Chinese
laws and court practices warrant
abandonment OF the foreign courts
created under treaties granting extra
territorial rights TO China.
The Chinese delegates then prcss-
ed another of their 40 points"-thac
declaring for withdrawal of all for
eign troops from Chinese soil, and
also for abandonment of foreign telct
graph, radio and police wire systems,
DR.. SEE presented information re-
garding the number of troops and
extent OF foreign wire systems, in
which the Japanese predominant.
To Continue Discussions.
General adherence, it was said.
was given to the principle or
retirement OF foreign troops and
wire systems from China in con-
formity with the principles of the
Root resolutions. Qualifications
were presented, however. by .la-
panese spokesmen who dealt with
the necessity Of policing railroads
and telegraph lines. Discussion of
the troop and wire questions are to
continue tomorrow, with prospects
that a solution will be worked out
by the delegates.
Another Chinese question, that of
tariff and other revenue, was taken
up later by a subcommittee headed
by Senator Underwood. After dis
cussion the subcommittee adjourned
until tomorrow.
In the discussion II was said, CHI
mas needs for increased revenue we're
recognized generally, but whether
an increase in the S per cent tariff !,
was necessary was said to be : ques-
ton requiring considerable study.
Administration Of the customs laws
by Chinese officials also was report
ed to have been debated
Want Troops Withdrawn.
1t will be several days, it was said,
before any report can be submitted.
Stress was laid by the Chinese del
egates before the far eastern com-
mittee today on foreign troops in
China. Their presence, DR.. SEE de-
clared palpably was violation of
Chinese integrity, inasmuch as the
troops were sent without Chinas
consent and over its protests. He
asked that the conference "specifical-
ly discountenance" the alleged vio-
lations.
Prince Tokugawa of Japan told
newspapermen later that Japan ans
tends to abolish" the system under
which Japanese troops are in China
"as soon as possible"
This was taken to mean withdraw.
al of the troops would begin when a
satisfactory formula toward the prob.
lem OF China was worked out here.

State Attempts to
Refute Evidence
In ArbuckleCas
Rebuttal Evidence Of Prosecu.
ton Occupies Entire Day;
To Introduce Out-of-
Town Witnesses Today.

San Francisco. Nov. 29.-Prosecu-
ton rebuttal evidence occupied the
entire day in the trial OF Roscoe
c. (Fatty) Arbuckle on manslaugh-
ter charge in connection with the
death of Miss Virginia Rappe. The
prosecution announced at adjourn
ment today that it would continue
this character of evidence despite its
earlier announcement that it would
conclude today. ... ...
Final adjournment came an hour
earlier than usual because of the lack
Of witnesses. Milton T. U. Ren, as.
sistant district attorney, announced
that certain out-of--town witnesses
would be on hand tomorrow and
that the prosecutions case would be
closed after they had concluded their
testimony.
The prosecutions efforts to rebut
the evidence offered by the defense
continued throughout the day. The
major portion of this rebuttal evil
dence was introduced to contradict
evidence that Miss Rape had suf-
fered for several years.
Mrs. Josephine Hardebeck, house
keeper for Miss Rape, was called
twice during the day. 1t was her
third experience as a witness dur
ing the trial.
Mrs. Catherine Fox of Chicago,
testified that her acquaintance with
Miss Rape extended over several
years time and that Miss Rappe was
always well.
An attempt was made by the
prosecution to swear out a perjury
warrent against Mrs. Minnie Neign-
bors, a defense witness, who testi-.
fled she saw Miss Rappe at re-,
sort in Los Angeles and tried to re-
lieve her during period Of illness
there. The warrant incident fol-
lowed testimony by Mrs. Mary
Paulin, the hostess of the resort,
that Miss Rape had never been
registered or had never been seen
by her at the place. The warrant
was refused by the presiding Judge
of the supreme court and the judges
of the criminal departments with
held action on it until both sides
could be heard" The district at
torney temporarily abandoned the
attempt to obtain the warrant.
Other witnesses testified also that
they had known Miss Rappe for
varying lengths Of time and that her
health always appeared to be good.
The crowds which crushed about
the court room doors yesterday to
hear Arbuckle's testimony were
absent today. The court room was
filled throughout the day, however,
and there were many in the cor
ridors. -.

Association
OF Nations
Up to Meet
Hardinss Suggestion for Con.
tinuins Conference Expect.
ed to Be Formally Con-
sidercd by Delegates.
Plan Not Rival to League

Washington, ID, G., Nov. 29.-(By
The Associated Press.)--Prcsident
Harding's suggestion for continu-
ing conference OF nations is expected
by administration officials to become
he subject OF formal discussion be-
lore the present conference ends.
As a result OF foreign comment OIL
the presidents suggestion, II WAS
also declared by an administration
spokesman that there was no in.
tcntion that any association OF ma
tons resulting from these confer
cnces should become in any way q
.ival OF the league OF nations
Not Rivel to League.
The presidents position was said
10 be that the new association
should not have the attitude OF "an
undermining agency" for the league.
1t was indicated in official CHARTERS
today that although the president had
no intention OF complicating the far
eastern and armamcnts by bringing
the subject before the conference at
present, he fully expected that after
the questions are out OF the way
there will be a serious effort for an
agreement for future similar meet
ings.
Another meeting of the four Amer
lean delegates was called by Secre-
tary Hughes for late today, presum-
ably for discussion Of naval matters.
Meeting Postponed.
Washington. Nov. 29.-(By The
Associated Press. 1.-The meeting to-
day of the big FIVE" naval experts,
the first general conference OF the
navel men scheduled for nearly a
week, was postponed until tomorrow
at the request of one Of the delega-
tions. No official statement as to
the reason for the postponement or
the delegation making the request
was given.
There was some indication that
the Japanese had sought the post
ponement, although this was not ca
pable OF confirmation in confer
cncc circles in general. 1t was
known, however, in view of the
statement last night by Vice Ad-
miral Kato, chief naval expert Of
the Japanese group, that Japan still
was hopeful l0-l0-7 fleet ratio
would be accepted instead of the
American 1858" proposal. Because
OF this it was regarded that the COM
mittec Of experts might still face
considerable discussion before re-
port to the conference committee it
self was framed. For the American
viewpoint, both as to American cx-
perts and as to the membership of
the American delegation, it was as
serted that no alteration of the IS
5-5" ratio would be acceptable to
the United States.
The nine powers conference on
Pacific and far eastern questions to-
day adopted resolutions providing
for REIMBURSEMENT Of foreign extra
territorial rights in China.
