Mr.. Lodge and the President.

A story has been circulated to the effect
that Senator Lodge in his speech a couple
of days ago did not correctly represent the
views OF the President, and that conse-
quently the President and Mr. Lodge are
at outs II is understood that Mr. Lodge
himself declares that this story is absurd
Mr.. Lodge has told some OF his friends that
he did not talk TO the President on this
subject prior to making his speech; that
the President did not see his speech before
IL was delivered in the Senate; that he
made no effort TO represent the position of
the President In that speech, and that
therefore the idea that he has misrepre-
senteT him is absurd. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Lodge has expressed something of dis
gust with the sentiment that prevails with
a good many that because he is d friend
OF the President he Is barred as a senator
from expressing his own views without
reference to what the Presidents views
may be-
''The fact is" said a senator today AN
idea seems to prevail in many quarters that
no senator can be frienu of the President
without being subservient to him. The
sooner II IS understood that the duties of
the President and the duties of a senator
have not necessarily any relation I'm the
discussion OF public questions the better II
will be. The fact that senator takes is
sue with the President or has views of
his own regardless OF what the President s
views may be does not seem TO be fully
appreciated by many people"
Amendments offered.
The committee today took no vote on any
OF the Senate amendments and did not In
any way take vote that indicated the
sentiment OF the committee in any respect.
A number of amendments 10 the Hepburn
bill were offered by different senator's the
most important of which was offered by
Mr. ElkIns, chairman of the committee.
Senator Elkins' amendment is exactly In
line with his bill introduced In the Senate
yesterday, an analysis of which. in the form
OF an interview with Mr.. Elkins, appeared
In The Star. The amendment offered by
him today embodies the same ideas for an
appeal from the decisions OF the interstate
commerce commission to the courts as were
embodied In that bill, but the language Is
changed sufficiently to adapt 1t az an
amendment to the Hepburn bill.
