Democratic Senator From Missouri Points To Re- cent Statements By
 Lowell, Taft and Bryan
lRepub,ican A. p. Leased wire1

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12@Calling atten- tion to recent statements by President Lowell of Harvard. former President Taft and William T. Bryan on the league of nations, United States Sena- tor Reed, democrat of Missouri iI speaking tonight at a banquet of citi- zens opposed to the league of nations said:
 Thus one by one the roses fall.''
 All three have said Article 10 should not be adopted unamended, asserted the senator, and added:
 Tn view of the fact that the presi- dent has declared Article 10 is the backbone of the league, it appears that at least Brothers Lowell and Taft think so poorly of the scheme that they are willing to leave it spineless"
 Having been defeated in his attempt to coerce the senate into meek sur render. the president is now willing to go to the people he said. Tn point Of fact, there being no other place to go-ergo, the, people are to have their inning ex necessita.
 Is Last Resort
 "A number of senators. including myself. from the first have insisted that. American people must be con- suited. Now that the president has, per force of that contention and be- cause there is no other way out agreed to let the people decide, every thing ought to be unanimous. For l assume those senators who have each morning, reverently exclaimed: We pray thee. Oh most wise, tell us what we are to believe today will once more recognize their masters voice and obediently go to feei.'
 The tide of public opinion is rap idly rising against ratification of this league with or without amendments. I call attention to the fact that Mir. Lowell, long an advocate of the league now announces that Article 10 ought 10 be rejected. Mir. Taft has quit de- critics of the league as pigmy minded and has turned to abusing the president because he does not accept all reservations. And now comes the great Commoner who wisely declares that the American people would never surrender their right to fight in their own defense and who at the same time renounces the provi- sions of Article 10.' k

Tennessee, democrats. on reservations suggested by the two democrats. Mild" republicans ex- pressed confidence that the Kendrick- McKellar drafts would form the basis for a definite representation from the democratic side later with general democratic support.
 Another development was the desig- nation of Senator Smith. Georgia, by a group of democrats to consult Sena- tor Lodge in an attempt to adjust the dispute over article 10. Democrats and
 mild reservation" senators expressed hope Senator Lodge would agree to modification of the foreign relations committee reservation to article 10.
 The democrats must secure Presi- dent Wilson's approval of any suggestions, republican spokesmen said, before substantial progress can be made. Some of the senators said they hoped would reach a stage soon where conferences between the presi- dent and democratic senators on some definite proposals affecting the reser- vations would be in order.

SUPREME COURT.
 JOLTS HOPES OF DEALERS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Jan 12.-Steps to bring test proceedings to determine constitutionality of the federal prohi- bition amendment received setback today when the supreme court denied, for lack of Jurisdiction. motions filed on behalf Of the Retail Liquor Dealers association of New Jersey, seeking permission to institute an original suit.
 The denial, however. does not end efforts to expedite determinaation of the question, for motions filed by Rhode Island, asking similar permis- sion, were argued today, and remain to be acted upon. As the federal amend ment is effective Friday, action on the Rhode Island motion within the next few days is anticipated.
 The order denying permission to bring the New Jersey suit was made orally by Chief Justice White, who held the motion to file the case rested upor a plain disregard of two principles of Jurisdiction, that has been settled from the beginning.
 Explain Reason for Denial
 One, he said, was that a citizen of a state could not bring a suit against the state without it's consent while the other was that the federal constitu- ton does not create Jurisdiction but only apportions it. and accordingly, under the constitution. the supreme court had not Jurisdiction in such a case as that from New Jersey.
 That attitude upheld the conten- tions of Solicitor General King and New Jersey authorities in their argu- ments made January ,.
 In attacking the constitutionality of the amendment today, Attorney Gen eral Herbert A. Rice of Rhode Island questioned the validity Of its ratifica- tion as well as of the passage of the resolution by congress and asserted the amendment was an interference with state police powers.
 In a brief filed. the Rhode Island attorney general argued that enforce ment of national prohibition would affect injuriously the rights of Rhode Island and that because the defendants named in the case are outside the boundaries of that state, the supreme court was proper tribunal in which to bring the suit.
 These contentious were denied by the government which asserted that the questions involved are political and that the court was without juris- diction-

OPERATORS ATTITUDE TOWARD COAL STRIKE MEN |S UNKNOWN
LRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The coal strike settlement commission today, a< it's first formal session, received from the miners assurances that it's findings would be unreservedly accepted and from the operators a questionnaire as to the contemplated scope of the com missions action.
 Speaking as chairman of the oper- ators' scale committee of the central competitive field, Thomas T. Brewster of St. Louis informed the commission operators were not ready to proceed with the hearing set for today until more information on the commissions s proposed work was afforded them and until representatives of the operators could consult their associates. Henry N. Robinson. representative of the pub- lie and president of the commission after conferring with his associates agreed to take the inquiries under ad- visement and reply later.
 Among the points raised by the operators was whether the commission expected it's findings to be binding on both sides; how it expected to enforce its award; whether it considered it had power to adjust wages; whether it would determine coal mining costs; whether coal prices lived to sustain its awards would be made to expire with the Lever food control act; and whether it proposed to provide for in troduction of modern machine devices in mines to lower cost of coal.
 Asked by President Robinson of the answer to the question naire would determine the attitude to be assumed by the operators toward the commission. MT. Brewster said he would prefer not to answer until he had consulted with his associates.
 The operators conferred later to con- slider their policy and sub- committee was appointed to draft a statement to be laid tomorrow before the commits sion.
 John l.. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers of America. informed the commission that it would proceed with the assurance that its decisions would be accepted as binding by the miners.
