 WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-The sen ate amendment to the war revenue bill, leYying a tax of 10 per cent upon products of child labor entering into interstate commerce and designed to have the same effect as the child labor act recently declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, was adopted today by senate and house conferees. A separate vote on the amendment will be taken in the house before final passage of the bill
 Besides the child labor provision, the conferees reached complete agree. ment today on nearly all of the miscel- laneous tax disputes and have left for disposition only a few important schedules.
 Tomorrow they will again take up the war excess profits taxes and hope to complete their work by next week. Several of the conferees believe now the bill will go to the president be- fore February 1.
 Another important senate amend. ment accepted by the house conferees today was that removing war taxes on first class postage next July 1. when the pre.war rates of two cents an ounce on letters and one cent for post cards would again be effective.

Daily Official Communique
 Will Advise World of Pro gress at Conference; Dele gates Agree to Strict Silence
American and British Repre- sentatives Oppose Plans but French, Italian and Jap anese Garry Point

PARIS. Jan. 15. (By the Associated ress.)-The question whether the peace cOnterence is to be secret or wholly open to the eyes and ears of the world. the settlement of which has been long awaited. was brought to a focus today when it was announced an agreement had been made to confine information given to the public to a daily official cOmmunique and that a gentleman's agreement prevailed among the delegates not to discuss. or in any way give information of the meetings in the foreign office.
 No written official announcement of this purpose was issued but word was followed by an explosion of protests which drowned out the doings of the peace commissioners.
 Americans Oppose Plan
 The understanding is that the American and British delegates Op- posed this decision, but that the French, Italian and Japanese, voting together prevailed.
 The British newspaper correspond ents immediately joined in a memorial of protest, which they put before Pre- mier Lloyd George. The American newspaper correspondents united in what is virtually a round robin to President Wilson in which they pro tested in measured terms against the decision, and reminded the president of that one of his 14 points which specifics "open covenants of peace op- enly arrived at"
 The memorial was before the presi- dent tonight. and there is every reason to believe that such a storm has been raised as will force the question be- fore the meeting again before the act ual sessions of the peace conference begin Saturday morning.
 Daily News Audiences
 The question of whether the meet ings are to be open or closed have been smoldering for several days. It is associated with conditions which have surrounded the lack of method in mak- ing public what has actually been go- ing on in conference for the past month. The American newspaper cor respondents, of whom there are about 100 here to report the peace proceed ings, have been received in daily ar- dience by the American commission CTS under the stipulated conditions that what was developed was solely for their guidance and not to be re- ported as bearing the stamp of author ity or coming from the mission.

CRv Review Ieased Wlrel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Legisla' lures of 35 states-one less than the required three-fourths-have ratified the prohibition constitutional amend .ment. Several state assemblies now in session are expected to take action tomorrow with 8 probable race be- tween Nebraska, New Mexico, Mis- souri and Minnesota as to which will be the thirty-siXth on the list.
 Ratification was completed today by the legislatures of five states-Iowa, Colorado, Oregon, New Hampshire and Utah-making a total of 12 in two days. Of the 35 states that have taken action, only 14 have certified their ac- tion to the federal state department. They are Virginia, Kentucky, North Dakota, South Carolina, Maryland, South Dakota, Texas, Montana, Dela- ware, Massachusetts, Arizona, Geor- gia. Louisiana and Michigan.
 Effective in One Year
 The amendment, under the provis- ions, becomes effective one year from the date of its final ratification. Ad- ditional legislation by congress is nee essary to make it operative and ground work for this already has been laid. This legislation will prescribe penalties for violations of the amend ment and determine how and by what agencies the law shall be enforced.
 If ratification is completed this month, many officials here believe the country will become permanently "dry" next July l, the date on which the special wartime prohibition re- gently enacted by congress goes into effect This law prevents the manu- facture and sale of intOXicants for beverage purposes and remains in force until the demobiliZation of the nations war armies is completed.
 States Fight Ratification
 Court action to prevent the amend ment becoming operative. already has been started in California. where an order temporarily restraining Govern or Stephens from signing ratification of the amendment has been obtained. It has been intimated that similar ac- tion may be taken in other states, in which, it is said, state laws require that federal constitutional amend ments must be submitted to a refer endum.
 The prohibition amendment resolu. tion passed by congress provides that ratification shall be by "the legisla' lures of the several states as provided by the constitution"
 The resolution follows:

 HUN STORY AS LIE
CBy Review Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Jan. l5.-SenatOr Thomas of Colorado. appearing today before the senate judiciary commit tee Investigating German propaganda, declared that the testimony given yes 'terday by Austin J. Smith. that an arrangement was made with Count von Bernstorff to pay for the support of the Pueblo (Colorado) Chieftain in 1915 was untrue.
 This man Smith is an unsuccessful blackmailer, an unmitigated liar, and l believe, a forger," said Senator Thomas.
 Senator Thomas said he was per sonally acquainted with l. N. Stevens and Ava Swain. mentioned by Smith as having directed him to arrange for publication of pro-German articles in the Chieftain, and that they are men Of high standing. He said he believed the story told by Smith was concocted by him or some one for him in fur thering scheme to purchase his si- lence.
 Sends Advance Agent
 In October, 1916, Senator Thomas said, a man of Denver, whose name he did not mention. told him confi- dentially that Smith was in possession of information of a sensational char acter, dealing with payments to a newspaper of southern Colorado.
 Shortly after that" the senator continued Smith came to my office and said he had been connected with the editorial department of the Pu- eblo Chieftain, and that while there a message was received from Count won Bernstorff. Smith said he would be willing to get possession of it if it would be of use to the government. He said he had been a democrat and that part of his business was to aid the democratic party in the state cam. paign."
 Senator Thomas said he agreed to pay Smiths expenses to Washington. but heard nothing from him for some time and when Smith came in March, 1917, he said he could not get the state department to act on the alleged information he had The senator said he then told Smith that he did not want to have any more to do with it.
 Refuses Compensation
 Smith said he ought to be com pensated, and I told him I would not pay him anything and wouldn't reco- mmend that anyone else pay him any thing" the senator said. After Smiths visit to Senator Thomas in Washington in March, 1917, the sen ator said he informed Swain and Stevens of the affair, when they in- formed him that Smith had been to them with his story. Of Messrs. Ste vens and Swain, Senator Thomas said:
 These gentlemen are prominent re- publicans in my state They are citi- zens of unquestioned standing and character and I number them among my warm personal friends"
 He added that he was not surprised when Swain and Stevens told him that Smith had begun his campaign by demanding money from them in consequence of which they had met aphorically speaking, kicked him out of the employment with the paper"

At Chemnitz in a total vote of more than 117.OOO the combined Spartacans and Independents boiled 6269, and the majority socialists 64 : 534.
 A comparison of the Wurtemburg results with the reichstag election of 1912 shows the enormous growth of the democratic vote. Whereas, the progressives boiled only IS per cent of the total vote in 1912, they re- ceived nearly a third Of the whole vote Sunday last.

Review Phoenix Bureau

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 15.-To the legislature assembled in joint session in the house Governor Campbell to- day delivered his message outlining the program of needed legislation. The document, the most voluminous ever addressed to an Arizona legis- lature, required but one hour to i'm part.
 When he had finished reading the document, the chief executive was presented by T. A. Johns, president of the senate, who presided over the joint session, with the gayel used to call the assemblage to order. The symbol of authority is turned from the doorsin of the first gubernatorial structure the state possessed, a log cabin formerly located at Prescott. The president presented the gavel with the wishes of the Yayapi dele gation for. prosperous and happy term Of office" even though he de- plored that the governor adhered to the republican fact.
 Governor Replies.
 Tremendous applause attended the exchange of the gift and the governor flushed at the unexpected pleasure. He acknowledged the courtesy in few brief remarks, stating that he would treasure the memento of for mer administrations and would keep 1t ever before him as an incentive to impel him to a strict adherence to tie highest standard in the conduct of his office.
 The ceremony was concluded with short speech by G. P. Neavitt Of Phoenix, representing the city, the chamber of commerce and the county of Maricopa, welcoming the legisla- ture to the capitol He informed them that preparations were under way to make their sojourn a pleasant one and stated that the various clubs would be honored by the presence Of the visitors. He also promised them a banquet at some future date when the influenza epidemic should have abated.
 Galleries Are damned.
 For the first time since the legisla- ture convened the galleries of the house were jammed with spectators. Long before the hour arrived for the appearance of the governor the seat ing facilities were exhausted and at length became necessary to forbid admittance. The crowd evidenced keen interest in the message and only once disturbed the speaker, a ripple of laughter greeting his reference to the necessity existing for 'satisfac- tory adjutant general"
 Little was accomplished by either branch of the legislature today, but all arrangements have been made to begin upon an efficient disposal of the matters confronting that body with no more delay In the senate the complete list of the standing com mittee's were announced this morn ing and but a few more remain to be chosen in the house.

 They promise universal peace. Mir. Lockhart said. but they pro claimed universal war.
 It is easy in a country like Russia for a minority to override the ma jority. A great majority of the peas antry and other classes are against the bolsheviki and have continued to work against them as best they can.
