I.ato last night the Willie Houso au thorized omo changes In the President's statement which Indlcato that a doubt re mains as to tho effect of the old law on the President's right to take step for tho protection of American commerce. In the statement as ilrst given to the press there was a paragraph in which tho President, speaking In the thud person, ,is serted 'hat "It had been found that there were ciTtniii I t statutes as yet utirt'iu'tiled which rinsed Insuperable practical obstacles ami virtually nullified his power.

It Is believed that these changes Indicate that the President may have seen tho ap plication if the old statute in a new light after his statement was Issued. At least, they suggest 'hat ,i dotiot has been raised in the 1'ie.sldent's mind as to his eailler im pression that he was forbidden to arm di,p unless the statute of Ml!) was re pealed and authority given him to furnish naval guns lo vessels for the American mer chant marine. KIUBL'STI'lt IN SUNATII The filibuster against the armed neutial Ity bill In the Senate was maintained to the last minute, despite tho fact that a great majority of Senators uero In favor of hrlnir iiF the bill to a vote and had signified their Mention of voting for It. During' the night friends of the measure drafted a statement intended to show the public that tho passage of the bill was only prevented by i small minority exercising their right to fiee speech under tho rules of tho .Senate. This statement was signed by seventy-six uf the nlncty-slx Senators. Seven Repub licans and five Democrats refused to sign It and eight other Senators could not be reached at the time, although It is believed that several of theso nine would havo signed had they had the opportunity Despite this clear manifestation of the sentiment of the Hcnnte. the filibuster held sway until the hour of adjournment was reached.

Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, 'who held tho floor at tho closing, branded the performance as one of tho "most rep rehensible filibusters that ever took place In tho history of tho Senate."

When Senator Lodge was iidvlsing his nepuhllcnn colleagues and others to sign a paper protesting against the filibuster late Saturday night. Penrose di dined to sign It. declaring that It was an unnecessary and unwise political move.
