ers, etc." was made public tonight
by the secretary, who declared he
regarded the charge as an entirely

tom
Secretary Glass. in a telegram to
Chairman Hays last Friday, the day
following the republican chairmans
address, called attention to a dis
patch quoting Mr.. Hays as saying,
"The name of every buyer of Lib
erty bonds of the United States was
put on the democratic mailing list
Of the forthcoming campaign" and
asked that Mr.. Hays either produce
proof "Or publicly retract this SLAM
der upon the treasury of the United
States"
Replying the next day from Salt
Lake City, Mr. Hays denied he had
said that the treasury secretary had
furnished the names of all buyerz
Of Liberty bonds for use Of .l2s DEM
ocratic committee as a mailing list.
but that he did say that the demo-
cratic administration sent thousands
Of tons of propaganda to Liberty
bond buyers, food card signers, war
workers. etc, during the paper short
age, and while limiting the use of
paper by the press, and that a large
part of il was democratic political
propaganda and that all of it was
paid for by the taxpayers money"

desired to call the attention of Sec
rotary Glass to what he described as
reliable information that "the DEM
ocratic committee has even resorted
t6 drawing drafts on bankers in
whose banks government funds are
deposited, wiring such bankers that
they had already drawn such drafts"
and in conclusion said he hoped the
treasury secretary would "join with
us in an effort to make the coming
campaign &est between two great
political parties"
Replying to Chairman Hays, Sec
retary Glass said the only part of
the chairman's reply which was per
tinent' to his previous telegram was
"the apparent deniar' of the press
dispatch ascribing to the chairman
the statement as to the use of lists
of Liberty bond buyers.

fBr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WiREl
Washington, Jan. IL (by The Asso.
ciated Press, Decision to withdraw
American troops from Siberia on COM
pletion of the repatriation of the
CZecho-Slovak forces next month has
been reached by the American gov
ernment.
The troops were sent to Siberia in
accord with an agreement between the
United States, Japan and the entente
TO aid the Czechs and protect the ST.
berian railroad, and Japan has been
notified by the United States of the
cancellation of that agreement insofar
as 1t affects the presence of an Amer
lean military expedition.
When the Czechs have been re-
moved. the American railroad com
mission headed by John F. Stevens, in
Russia since before the fall of the
former cars government, will leave
Vladivostok for home and the Amer
lean soldiers under Major General
Graves will follow as soon as trans
ports are available. Presumably the
same ships which are to take the
Czecho-S -Slovaks across the Pacific viii
be used. Two vessels, the President
Grant and America. are expected to
leave New York in few days,
With departure of the Americans,
Japan will be left alone to assist the
loyal Russians in their efforts to stem
the Bolshevil1i. The rapid progress
made by soviet forces has been a
source Of apprehension in Japan and
the cabinet at Toxic has been con-
sidering means of combating what
Japanese officials regard as a serious
menace.
Suggestions have been made that
Japan materially increases its force
of 10000 troops in Siberia and it has
opened negotiations with the Ameri-
can government with this in view
SO far as was learned today, how
ever no agreement has been reached.
The American forces numbeFs
about 5000 men and was sent into
Siberia last summer It's presence
has been Subject of debate in the sen-
ate and resulted in the adoption of a
resolution calling upon President Will
son for a statement of the administra-
tons policy. In reply. the state de-
partment said the purpose Of sending
the expedition was solely to assist the
CZechs and to guard the railroad.

AN PROH|b|T|0N
GIVEN SETBACK BY
SUPREME COURT
Question of ConstitutionaIity,
Coming UP in Different
Form, Is Expected to Be De-
Cided Within Few Days.
rsr MORNING Jousn.t SPECIAL LEASED wrprJ


Washington, Jan, 12.-Steps to
bring test proceedings to determine
constitutionality Of the federal prohi-
bition amendment received a setback
today, when the supreme court denied,
for lack of jurisdiction, motions filed
on behalf of the Retail Liquor Deal
ers' association of New Jersey, seek
ing permission to institute an original
suit.
The denial, however does not end
efforts to expedite determination of
the question, for motions filed by
Rhode Island, asking similar permis-
sion, were argued today, ana remain
to be acted upon. As the federal
amendment 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 crest
ed upon a plain disregard of two prin
cipleS of jurisdiction, that has been
settled from the beginning"
One, he said. was that citizen of
the state without its consent, while
the other was that the federal consti
tuition does not create jurisdiction but
only apportions it, and accordingly,
under the constitution, the supreme
court had no jurisdiction in such a case
as that from New Jersey.
That attitude upheld the contentious
of Solicitor General King and New Jer-
sey authorities in their arguments made
January 5.
In attacking the constitutionality of
the amendment today, Attorney Gen
eraI Herbert A. Rice of Rhode Island
questioned the validity of its ratifi-
cation as well as the passage of the
resolution by congress and asserted
the amendment was an interference
with state police powers.
In 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 defend
ants named in the case are OUTSIDE
the boundaries of that state, the su-
preme 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.
