SUllpol'ted an amendment provlctlng for
judicial rovlow of an order of the Inter-
stnto CommOl'co commission.
The conference at the 'Vhlto House
Is ono or the many that have been
held there In the last weele for a Ills-
cusRlon of the railway rate question.
It wns attonnod by Senators D0111ver
and Clapp , Spen.leor Cnnnon , Represcn-
tatlvo Hepburn and Attorney General
Moody. 'l'hev had under cOIIsldoration
an amendment said to have been drnft-
ed l1y Senl1tor Knox and revIsed by
the I1ttorney general. The draft In Its
rovlsod form , however , Is saId not to
bo satlsfacto-y to Its author. It was
offered In a spIrit of compromise and
the president and attorney general
wnnted to Imow whether It would bo
acceptable to the members or congr ss
who are mnltlng a fight to prevent the
adoption of any' amendment which they
bollovo would interroro with the opera.-
tlon of the measure they pr0110so to
enact Into law.
Drletly stn.ted , the amendment alms
to Clvo to any complainant authority
to Jo a petition In a circuit court 1\8.
sertln : ; that a rnte fixed by the com.
mission was In fact Illegal , or nn order
of the commission was In reality unlaw-
rul and authorizes the court to hoar
the suit to decldo whether the commls.
slon acted within Its authority and
whether the constitutional rIghts of
the plaintiff had been violated.
As they had previously announced
they would do , all these called Into
the conference made a llrm stand for
the Hepburn 1I111 In Its present form
and said that none of the amendments
suggested seemed to 1I0 nn Improvo-
mont. They said that If the blll specI.
fied the condItions under which com.
plaints could bo talwn Into court , the
court might refuse to talto cognIzance
of matters not s ! > ecilled In the bill.
The ' said they preferred to leave open
every feature on which d'n aggrloved
person might desire to go Into court.
Attorney Geneml Moody , lit Is said ,
contended thnt the Hopburn bill Is constitutional -
stitutional anlt that there Is no danger
of its elll ! : ; overturned by the United
Htates supreme court. Ho would not
pass upon the wisdom or amending the
bill , tallng the position tnat that Is a
function outsldo of his officlnl provlnco.
