FORAKER AND
LODGE REACH A
COMPROMISE

Washington, Jan s.-Practically all Of
yesterday was given over by senate lead
ers OF both parties 10 an EFFORT To bring
about harmony between opposing views
concerning the proposed investigation or
the ARRAY at Brownsville. Tex.
What amounts TO an agreement between
Senators Foraker and Lodge has been at
tained by their friends. but. inasmuch as
IL was decided not 70 present the COM
promise until the senators desiring TO DO
SO has made speeches on the subject OF
the dismissal OF the negro troops, IL Is
not absolutely certain that the peace
plans will not be upset.
The compromise is not greatly different
from the resolution presented by Senator
Lodge and a similar one which Senator
Foraker had intended 70 offer as a sub
stitute for his original resolution. II pro-
vides for the investigation by the senate
committee on military affairs of the af-
fray at Brownsville. and 10 this Is 10 be
added provisions that a subcommittee be
sent to Brownsvile and that the expenses
or the investigation be paid out OF the
contingent fund OF the senate. Such
resolution would ignore the constitutional
and legal questions that have been debat-
ed for several days in the senate.
Senator Lodge declares that he is salts
fed with the program and Senator For
aker says he Ia not particular about
phraesology so long as an investigation
is ordered and a committee sent to
Brownsville 70 take testimony.
The situation now is said TO be the same
as II was before the speech OF Senator
Lodge Monday. Both sides were then
agreed 70 leave out the constitutional
questions and they had been ignores IN
the substitute offered by Senator Lodge
IL was the speeches on the resolution
and the manner In which It was inter-
preted that caused Senator Foraker TO
oppose IT, Unless the speeches yet 10 bs
made create an adverse sentiment on one
side or the other, II is believed the com
promise will be effective
