Claim, Socialists
Are Disqualified by
"Mental Reservations

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 27.-Tactics
adopted today by the prosecution at
the trial OF the FIVE suspended social
ist assemblymen charged with dis
loyalty served to substantiate the re-
port that counsel for the assembly
judiciary committee will seek to
prove the socialists unfit to serve
because they took their oaths of Of
fee with mental reservations"
Without comment and simply by
introdu :tion of evidence in logical
sequence, John L. Stanchheld, COM
mittee m counsel, drove into the record
THAT although the FIVE assembly,
men, by a clause in their party con-
stitution, faced expulsion if they
voted appropriations for military or
naval purposes. they nevertheless
had swotn to uphold the constitution
of this state, which places upon the
legislature the duty of providing
funds for maintenance of militia"

California Wine Interests
Bested in First SkirmiSh in
Legal Fight Against 18th
Constitutional Amendment.
DENIED PETITION FOR
HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
Judge Rules Amendment, in
Form and Substante, Within
Competency Of Congress and
States to Propose and Ratify.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 2.-Cal-
ifornia wine interests lost the first
skirmish in their legal fight against
the eighteenth constitutional amend
ment when Judge Frank H. Rudkin
of the United States district court
denied a petition for writ of ha-
beas corpus in the case of J. J.
Dillon, truck driver, arrested
while transporting liquor here after
January 16.
This was said to be the first test
Of the national prohibition amend
ment in the. country.
,"I am of the opinion" said Judge
.Rudkin, in ruling in the case, that
the amendment in form and sub
stance was entirely within the com.
potency of congress and the several
states to propose and ratify; and
that both the amendment and the
national prohibition act were in full
force and effect on the day in ques-
ton"
The attorney for the wine inter
ests contended that an amendment
to the constitution must chdn8e'
some part of the constitution rather
than add a new article to it. He
further argued that the amendment
would not go into effect, if it were
valid, until January %.
Given Necessary Authority.
Judge Rudkin ruled against both
of these contentious. holding that ar
ticle five of the constitution, gave
congress and the states the neces-
sary authority for adding the amend
r1ent.
Ohio's referendum election to
overturn the amendment in that
state, which favored the anti-prohi-
bitionists, has no effect on the
amendment, Judge Rudkin held. The
constitution is not subject to local
referendum actions and an amend
ment can be overturned only by the
employment of the same machinery
that made it operative, according to
the decision.

c 0 mpromise Negotiations,
Near Dissolution, Given 49,
Hour Lease on Life-OutIook
Viewed Pessimistical|y.
REPUBLICANS DENY
DEMOCRATIC CHARGE
Another Conference Will Be
Held Thursday in. Endeavor
To Bring Treaty Fight to a
Successful Conclusion.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Peace treaty
compromise negotia tons, lowering
OIL the verge of dissolution, were
given today new 48-hour lease on
life. But there was nothing in the
development which changed the pes.
simistic view of the senate leaders as
to the final outcome.
The democrats, replying to the re-
publican refusal to compromise on
article 10 and the Monroe doctrine,
charged at stormy session of the
bipartisan compromise conference
that republican leaders had suddenly
changed front after most of the con-
ferees had consented to an article 10
compromise i'll definite form. To this
the republicans opposed a categorical
denial. declaring no one at all had
agreed to the proposed compromise
draft.
After two hours of wrangling, dur
ing which the democrats threatened
to transfer the whole subject to the
open senate, the conference agreed
to meet again Thursday in, another
effort to, bring the negotiations to ]
successful conclusion.
Private Conferences Held.
During the day a plea for irnme-
date ratihca ton, either with or with
out reservations, was presented to
Senator's Wadsworth and Calder of
New York, by a delegation from
New York city, headed by William
Church Osborne, and representing
the League to Enforce Peace, the
League OF Nations association, the
New York Federation of Churches,
farm organizations, the state cham
Der of commerce Of New York and
Daughters Of the American Revolt
ton. Spokesman for the delegation
expressed the belief that the time
was ripe for composition of differ.
ences over the treaty.
Two Points at Issue.
: The whole treaty negotiations, it
was said by senate leaders, were
hung up on article 10 and the Mon
roe doctrine, tentative agreement
having been reached on all other
points of difference. Some of the re-
publican reservations, it was de-
clared, had been accepted without
change by the democrats, while nu-
merous changes of wording had been
made in others and two Of them had
been rewritten entirely.
Differences over the Monroe doc
trine reservation also were said to be
OF minor magnitude compared to the
big stumbling block presented by the
obligation of article 10 to help pre-.
serve the territorial integrity and po.
litical independence of other men,
hers of the league of nations. The
republicans insist that no such obi.
cation should be assumed; the demo-
Gratis are standing out for an obliga.
ton conditional on the action of con-
gress in each specific case. ..-
