crat. Missouri, was read into the
Senate record yesterday al the request
Of Senator Metcalf, Republican. Rhode
Island. and was as promptly eXpunged
on motion of Senator Smoot, Republi.

The telegram, signed by Angelic
Martello, an officer in an Italian war
veterans orga nization in Providence,
r. l., referred to Senator Reed
declaration in the Senate last Monday
about the debacle of the Italian army
near the end of the World War as
malicious" and absolutely and de
Hberately false and unfounded."
Who had that telegram read?"
asked Senator Reed.
II did" responded Senator Metcan.
Doesn't the Senate know that it
violates every rule of the Senate?" de-
ma nded Senator Reed.
Before Senator Metcalf could reply
Senator Smoot moved that the mes
sa &c be expunged.
This violates not only the rules of
the Senate, but of ordinary courtesy
pursued Senator Reed. Il do not OBJ

what he had said in his speech last

tered into between Austrian and ltal-
ian troops along a part of the Italian
front by which they were TO throw
down their arms at a given signal.
The son of one of the most distin
guished living Italians told me that
said Senator Reed. THE reason he
told me was purely for the purpose of
showing how propaganda seeped into
the ranks Of both armies during the
war"

RUM SEIZURE CASE
REVIEW IS FOUGHT
U. S. Opposing British Crews
Efforts to Exclude Evil
dence of Conspiracy.
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press
Unusual interest is being taken by
the Department of Justice in the case
of the British ship Quadra, seized off
san Francisco, which may involve a
construction by the Supreme Court
of the legality of many American rum
seizures under the treaty with Great
Britain.
Members Of the crew Of the Quadra
seeking Supreme Court review
Of the case. This review is
opposed by the Government, which
contends there is no substantial ques-
ton Of law involved requiring con-
struction of the treaty by the court.
Capt. Ford and the first and sec
ond officers of the ship and several
members of the crew were arrested
at the time of the seizure and con-
victed of violating the American pro
hibition law. In the lower courts
they unsuccessfully raised the legal
question that the vessel was beyond
the territorial limits of the United
states and that Great Britain had no
right to authorize seizure OF her YES
sells beyond the three mile limits, such
an act being a waiver of the rights
guaranteed by Magma Charta.
AS the Department OF Justice sees
IT, the whole case, II a review is
granted, would involve the question
whether evidence obtained by the
seizure Of the ship should have been
excluded at the trial because the
seizure was illegal, and whether the
Officers and crew OF the Quadra should
have been released because they were
brought within the jurisdiction Of the
court as a result OF an Illegal seizure.
The Government Is contending that
there were many facts in the case, in
pendent of the question whether the
ship was within or outside the treaty
limits, which disclosed a conspiracy to
violate the American law. The lower
courts, II holds, decided the vessel was
less than miles from shore, which
was easily within the hours sailing
distance specified in the treaty.
