HITCHCOCK URGES ACTION Nebraska Senator Pleads ' for Immediate Vote but Is Followed by 35.000 Word Address. i' Wuhiniton, Oct. 8.-Opponnt' of th pae treaty today blocked H , attempta to bring the Shantunf amendment to a vot in tho aenaU thla wHk, and then refuaed to ac cede to a joint request by republican and democratic leader for 1ta con lderatlon one week hence. In the half hour wranrle that fol lowed the 'mirrestion of Chairman aiAmm of the fere tan relatione com ' jktee.- that the fenate could epeed uV the- treaty by reading- the printed text while aenatore were preparing speechea on the Bhantun pronaion, the eharra waa made and denied that A full fledged filibuster aoon might enveloDe the pact and delay final action on It- Earlier In he day democratic lead era had declared there waa no hop at a. vnta thla week on fihantana. be cause Senator Borah, republican, of Idaho, had let it be known mat ne would not give unanimous consent to such a move before Senator Johnson, republican, of California; had return ed from hi western speaiung iour , against the league of nations. fodm WllUna' to Accede. Taking account, therefore, of thla opposition, and realising that many senators, including nimseu. wnwo tn ha heard. Senator Lodge said that consideration would be expedited by putting all spare time on tne jod oi reading, a rour-aay iaaa ai dw, wm reading clerks working in relays. Seffator Hitchcock, of Nebraaka, floor leader for the administration forces, said the plan suited him, ex cept that he would prefer a vote next Wednesday or earlier on the amend menta, which Senator Lodge frankly admitted waa quite Impossible. There was a general discussion for a time with Senator Lodge reiterating that Senator Hitchcock an.d himself had done their best to expemte tne treaty. whnHstiat1Merw4 - 4moorat, . n iiiiumt. broke In with a sharp demand for aoUon. - Peclarlng - that both the country and the senate were deiirou of haying the treaty disposed of, Senator Underwood . declared that the senate should not wait until next week to vote oh the 8hantung amend ment, when every senator knew now how he would vote on that and the treaty Itself. "It thla treaty 1 going to be rati fied w ought to ratify It now with out any more talk." Senator Under wood aald, "and If It la to be amend ed, and amendments will end it "back to Europe, the aooner It Is aent back the better. I am not going to sit here and have it aald that we cannot vote yet In a matter of this Im portance, senator should make their eersonal engagement conform to the uslneas of the United States." It looked as If the senate was In for a whirlwind ngnt, ana wnne inter ixage naa innounca wiv would withdraw ms request tor jnanlmous consent to call up tne Hhantuna? amendment next wet, Senator France, republican, of Mary land, standing,, directly behind him and wain trf .BUrt a IB.600 word speech, hooted, his objection. This abruptly ended'1 the .discussion and Franca proceeded tospeak. Franco Jtot Through. . When the enate 'adjourned at 6 o'clock, however, the Maryland sena tor had not concluded his address, the rest of which will bo delrrered toAftr The smoke of the little klr mlsh had cleared away, leaders took stock and found that for the next week or 2 days- treaty considerations would consist of set speeches and the monotonous drone of reading clerks plowing through the printed text In View of the dally changing situation predictions as to how soon the senate mlghVbe able to adopt' or reject the treaty seem worthless, se conding to senators. nrnoreiis for tomorrow inoludes speeches by Senator Nelson, republi can .of Minnesota, and Walsh, demo crat, of Massachusetts, who will di vide the time of the session after Senator France haa given the second installment of his address, a matter of an hour or more. There was no fight over the league during the "morning hour" and little variation from the set program of reading and putting into the record various and. sundry documents, up holding and opposing it. The record was fattened today. however, by Senator Jones, republican, of Wash ington, who, after announcing that he had offered few contributions, esk ed leave to print a rmon on the league, preached by a minister of Magnol'a, Maes. Nobody objected.1' Charlotte will throw wide the city portal today and extend to the dis tinguished delegation of foreign cot ton spinners and manufacturers a real southern welcome on the arrival of the two special train with the party of ISO aboard this morning at i85 o'clock. .

Inquiry Into reported cases of hazing at the naval academy at Annapolis was ordered to. day by Secretary Daniels. The secre tary's action followed the reported at tempt' at suicide by two midshipmen, which reports have said was a result of persecution by upper classmen. Rear Admiral Scales, superintendent of the academy, however, reported to. day that Midshipman P. H.

The -second rumored, case ' of at tempted suicide had not been con firmed, Mr. Daniels said, and now' is being. Investigated. . .

"I tell you she fought for what she knew to be right" the , veteran continued, He then told of the tremendous odds against . which Loe's armies labored, and turning to the present day, con tinued: All Americans Boday. "Today we are American and the old boy In gray have transferred their loyalty from the stars and bars-r-thelr first love, which has been con signed to the tomb to the stars and stripes, the flag of our common coun try." Saying that 84 year ago hi father died in Virginia for the south, and a year ago hi younger brother died In France for a reunited country, State Benator Luther Harrison, of Okla homa, delivering the annual address before the veterans' first meeting, as serted both causes were founded on the same just Ideals.
