 HAu three of these men have now said that Article x should not be adopted unamended,'' asserted Senator Reed. and added;
 Tn view of the fact that the presi- dent has declared that Article x is the backbone Of the league, 1t appears that al least Brothers Lowell and Taft think so poorly of the scheme that they are willing to leave 1t spineless.

New York, Jan. 12.-Information that owners of liquor will be allowed to consume it only in their homes and that hotels will have to forego the rich harvest they now are reap ing in 'corkage" charges. after the prohibition amendment goes into eff feet Saturday, was contained in a tel egram received here today by William H. Edwards, collector of internal rev cnue, from Prohibition Comm. ssioner Kramer in Washington.
 After stating that liquor legally pur- chased before sales were banned may be stored in rooms in hotels, apart ment houses boarding houses and clubs used as a permanent residence by the owners of the liquor, the tele- gram added:
 Such liquor is to be used for the personal consumption of the owner and his family and bona fide guests when entertained therein. Liquor can only be consumed in such dwellings, not in club dining rooms, etc" l. Federal District Attorney Caffey to- day asked Federal Judge Knox to dis miss as premature, injunction pro- ceedings brought by William G. Street, a railroad man, in an effort to restrain Daniel L. Porter, internal revenue collector. from seizing a choice collection of wines and liquors which he has stored with a safe de
 posit company in this city.
 MT. Caffey argued that Mir Porter was unauthorized to make a seizure until after the federal prohibition amendment became effective nex Saturday and therefore the matter was not within the jurisdiction of tht
 court, MT. Caffey also urged that MT i Street move his 'wet goods" either tC his home or a government bonded warehouse, thereby saving the saft
 deposit company from possible pro. 1 ceedings on the ground of being 2 public nuisance" He admitted tha
 If the liquor was placed in a bonded
 warehouse, it could not be removed
 to a private dwelling when tn, amendment became effective.

tion amendment to the federal con stitution received a setback today when the supreme coure denied, for lack of Jurisdiction, motions filed on behalf of the Retail Liquor DealsrS Association seeking permission to fn- stitute an original suit for that puf- pose.
 The denial however does not term mate the efforts to expedite detersn. inatfon of the question for mfotions filed by the state of Rhode Island ask ing similar permission were argued teddy and remain to be acted upon. As the federal amendment. becomes effec- tive Friday, action on the Rhode Is- land motion within two days is am tieipated.
 The order denying permission to bring the New Jersey suit was made orally by Chief Justice White who 1 held the motion to file the case rested upjon plain disregard of two prif1- ciples of jurisdiction that have been
 settled from the beginning One, he said, was that a citizen of state
 could not bring a suit against the state without it's consent while, the other was that the federal consti- tuition does not create Jurisdiction but ionly apportions it and accordingly un- der the constitution, the supreme coNrt l had no Jurisdiction in such a case as that from New Jersey. This attitude
 of the court in general upheld the
 contentious of Solicitor General King and New Jersey authorities in their arguments made January 5.
 In attacking the constitutionality of the amendment today. Attorney Gen eral Herbert A. Rice of Rhode Is- land questioned the validity of its ratification as well as of the passage
 of the resolution by congress and as:- serted the amendment was an inter- ference with state police powers and
 was "usurpatory, unconstitutional and void"
 l In brief filed with the court the kRhode Island attorney general further argued that enforcement of national prohibition would affect injuriouslv 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 question involved were political
 aud that the. court was without jur-
 isdiction to hear the case.

 GLASS AND CHAIRMAN HAYS.

Washington, Jan. Photographic correspondence between Secretary Glass and Chairman Hays of the re- publican national committee ,centerlng about the assertion of MT. Hays ln hiS Denver speech last week that the democratic administration had sent out "theusands or tons of propaganda to liberty bend buyers food card signers, war workers, etc.,, was made public tonight by the treasury secre- tary, who declared he regarded the charge as an entirely reprehenSlble species of defamation"
 Secretary Glass in a telegram to Chairman Hays last Friday, the day following the republican chairman's address at Denver, called attention to a despatch quoting MT. Hays as say ing that the name of every buyer Of liberty bonds of the United states was put on the democratic mailing list for the forthcoming campaign, and asked MT Hays either produce proof .'or publicly retraet this islander upon the treasury of the United States" Replying the following day in a tel egram from Salt Lake City, Chairman Hays denied that he had said that the treasury secretary had furnished the names of all buyers of liberty bonds for the use of the democratic commit 1 tee as a mailing list" but that he did say that the democratic administra : l tion sent thousands of tons of propa- ganda to liberty bond buyers, food card signers, war workers etc, dur i ing the paper shortage, and while lin1- iting the use of paper by the press land that large part of it was dem ocratie political propaganda and that all of it was paid for by the taxpay-
 CTS money"
 The republican chairman in his tel egram said he desired to call the at 1 tention of Secretary Glass to what he
 described as reliable information that ''the democratic committee has even
 resorted to drawing drafts on bankers in whose banks government funds are 1 deposited, wiring such bankers that
 they had already drawp such drafts, and in conclusion said he hoped the
 treasury secretary would oin with. us i in an effort to make the coming cam paign a contest between two great po- l litical parties" 1 Replying to Chairman Hays today
 Secretary Glass said the only part oi | the chairman's reply, which was per
 tinent' to his previous telegram, was l the apparent deniar' of the press de-
 spatch ascribing to the chairman the
 statement aS to use of lists of liberty l bond buyers.
 The republican chairman's charge as to the sending out of tons of parti-
 san political literature, Secretary Glass telegraphed, conveyed "an inn
 plication of gross stupidity asd well al
 downright dishonesty" which MT
 Glass said he resented "as both false
 and silly"
 Denying that he haG any knowledge
 of the financial activities of either thu
 democratic or republican national com
 mittees or the chairmen as regards
 drawing of drafts on banks having government deposits without previous
 consent, Secretary Glass said it woult
 not be astonishing to find that boti of. you have repeatedly done this Agreement with MT. Hays that "thii is no. time for little things" is ex
