By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.—Sen- ator Fess of Ohio, declared after a call at the White House today that President Coolidge had taken him severely to task for publicly and repeatedly declaring chat Mr. Coolidge would be renominated next year by the Republican Na- tioral Convention. The Ohio Senator said the Presi- dent was displeased with his state- ments because he feared that the country would gain the impression that he was speaking authorita- tively for Mr. Coolidge. “I’rom my conversation with the President this morning,” Senator Fess asserted, “I must admit that I have come away with the im- pression that the President will not consent to be drafted.” Fess said he told Mr. Coolidge that he did ot intend to stop talk- ing about his own impressions in the matter. He still believed that there was a wide demand for Mr. Coolidge throughout the country and that the Republican convention would get into a deadlock and would nominate the President for another term. “I want to have it thoroughly understood, so that all will know, that I am not talking for Mr. Coolidge when I say that I believe he will be drafted,” said Fess, “but [ must admit that I was very much eurprised by the emphatic scolding which he gave me today.” Senator Fess has been regarded as one of President Coolidzge's closest political associates, and soon after Mr. Coolidge issued his famous “do not choose” statement, the Ohio Senator said Mr. Coolidge would be nominated again. He has held consistently to this view. FAIR TONIGHT, TOMORROW ; COOLER TOMORROW THE TEMPERATULES. ge NICS a a. 4 Yes urdiie” s high. e7 (2 30. vy.

Justice Frederick L. Siddons had uniformly’ overruled all Hoover's attempts, on the ground that Fin- ney should not be allowed to tell of an opinion which he held at the time of the lease. Tall Figure Rises to Speak. Without warning Fall's tall fig- ure rose feebly. “I beg the Court’s pardon,” he said, “but I desire to make a few remarks and undér my statutory privilege I believe I have the right to do so.” The startled Justice looked over his spectacles, “Mr. Fall,” he said, “you are represented here by very able coun- sel, Of course”’—he hesitated—*“I don't like to deny you, but you can- not make a speech or testify now.” “I have no intention of making a speech or of testifying now,” re- plied Fall. “I realize that Gounsel here is able—I want it understood that I have no doubt on that score —but there are lawyers and miin- ing lawyers. I think there are some things about the mining igws that they do not know. “Your honor has ruled that Judge Fianey cannot testify to his interpretation of the law: I want to point out that it was his business as Assistant Secretary of the In- terlor to do that very thing, .- pose, because he understood the law so thoroughly. He advised the Secretary and in the .Gecretary’s I submit that his interpretation of the law under which these leases were made is vital to the defense in this case, and that we are entitled to have it.” Breaking into a feeble smile, he concluded rather uncertainly: “I Cadet Elmer P.
