THREE KILLED IN
Refuse Requests of Both Dem
ocrats and Republicans For
Vote Week Hence
SENATOR LODGE WANTS
TO SPEED UP READING
Borah Refuses To Allow Unani
mous Consent For Voting On
Shantung Amendment Be
cause Senator Johnson Is 1
Away On Barn Storming j
Tour Against The League j
Washington, Oct. 8. Opponents of
the peace treaty today blocked all at
tempts to bring the Shantung amend
ment to a vote in the Senate this week,
and then refused to accede to a joint
request by Republicau and Democratic
lenders for its consideration one week
hence.
In the half-hour wrangle that fol
lowed the suggestion of Chairman
Lodge, of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, that the Senate could speed up
the treaty by reading the printed text
while Senators were preparing speeches
on the Shantung provision, the charge
was made and denied that a full-fledged
filibuster soon might envelop the pact
and delay final action on it.
Earlier in the day Democratic leaders
had declared there was no hope of a
vote this week on Shantung becaase Sen
ator Borah, of Idaho, had let it be
known that ho would not give unani
mous consent to such a move before
Senator Johnson, Republican, of Cali
fornia, had returned from his Western'
speaking, -tour against the League of
Nations.
Taking account, therefore, of ' this
opposition and realizing that many Sen
ators, including himself, wanted to be
heard, Senator Lodge said that con
sideration would be expedited by put
ting all spare time on the job of read
ing a four-day task at best, with read
ing clerks working in relays.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, floor
leader for tho administration forces,
said the plan suited him, except that he
would prefer a vote next Wednesday,
or earlier, on the amendmeata which
Senator Lodgo frankly admitted was
qui to impossible. There was a general
d.seussion for a time, with Senator
Lodge reiterating that. Senator Hitch
cock and himself bad done their best
to expedite the treaty, when Senator
Underwood, Democrat, of Alabama,
broke in with a sharp demand' for ac
tion. Declaring that both the country
and the Senate were desirous of having
the treaty disposed of, Senator Under
wood declared that the Senate should
not wait until next week to vote on the
Shantung amendment, when every Sen
ator knew now how ho would vote on
that and the treaty itself.
"If this treaty is going to be ratified
we ought to ratify it now without any
more talk," Senator Underwood said,
and if it is to be amended, and amend
ments will send' it back to Europe, the
sooner it is sent back the better. I am
not going to sit here and have it said
that we cannot vote yet. In a matter of
this importance Senators should make
their personal engagements conform
to the business of the United States'
Senator Frsnce Objects.
It looked as if the Senate was in for
a whirlwind fight, and while Senator
Lodge had announced that he would
withdraw his request for unanimous
consent to call up tho Shantung amend
ment next week, Senator France, Repub
lican, Maryland, standing directly behind
him and waiting to start a 35,000 word
speech, shouted his objection. This
abruptly ended the discussion, and Sen
ator France proceeded to speak.
When the Senate adjourned at 8
o'clock,' however, the Maryland Sena
tor bad not concluded his address, the
rest of which will be delivered tomor
row. .'
' After the smoke of the little skirmish
had eleared away leaders took stock and
found that for the next week or ten

tary's action followed the reported at

Conference in Washington Will
Come To Show Down To
day On Business
! BARRETT SAYS FARMERS
NOT GIVEN FAIR SHOW
Georgia Leader of Farmers'
Union Introduces Resolution
For Comprehensive National
Agricultural Policy; Group
Meetings Held To Prepare
Resolutions and Programs
Washington, Oct. 8. After three days
spent in organization, tho Industrial
conference called by President Wilson
will come to a showdown tomorrow on
the business to be transacted.
Only a brief session was held today,
adjournment being taken to permit the
groups representing Capital, Labor and
the Public, to formulate sucj sugges
tions and proposals as they wish to
submit for consideration. Noue was
ready for siimuission today except the
preamble of a resolution to be intro
duced by Charles S. Barrett, of Georgia,
represeuting the Farmers' Union. The
resolution will demand a comprehensive
national agricultural policy. The pre
amble asserted the farmers were not
being given due consideration in the
present conference and the failure of
any attempt to settle National questions
without the consent of the agricultural
clement of the population was predicted.
All the groups were busy after ad
journment considering suggestions of
their members to be submitted to the
conference. Apparently with an agreed
unanimity of action not otherwise char
acterizing tho deliberations, the three
groups refused to discuss specifically
what was under discussion or what
would be presented to the conference.
Each group was understood to be ready
with definite proposals on industrial
problems. effecting domestic peace, the
LfiDor group especially having a com
plete program already formulated, it was
reported, out each, aceminelv was wait
ing to aee what the others were going
to do before showinc its own hand.
From the Publie group cam the an-
inontative intimation that t i mem
ber Mrxesentina- the
standers" in the war between Capital
and Labor were prepared to abandon
the attitude of watchful waiting and
benevolent neutrality which they at
flrst thought was their best policy. Not
only were several concrete proposals
saia to do in the making, but the grout
sent to the ShlmMni- Board for A
mente dealing with the American and
English shipyards arrangements for ad
justing wages and forestalling strikes
by means of fermanent committees con
stantly considering grievances likely to
cause inaustriai disruption. Tho opin
ion is growing that the Public Group,
led by Bernard M. Baruch as chairman,
will not rest until the right and left
divisions of the conference accept some
forwnrd looking proposal to allay un
rest and maintain steady production.
What Labor Will Propose.
Labor's proposals are considered cer
tain to include reaffirmation of the right
of collective bargaining and of tho
strike, the principle of the eight-hour
day and perhaps' the more advanced
suggestions for profit-sharing and par
ticipation in industrial control. Capi
tal already has indicated its stand in
a resolution by Frederick' P. Fish, of
Boston, declaring the good of the coun
try to bo paramount to the interests of
any one group, and asserting the pres
ent need to be increased production,
adequate wages and a just return on
capital.
Whatever is done by the conference,
and everybody, including the perma
nent chairman, Secretary Lane, ex
presses confidence that real results will
be forthcoming, aeem likely to be a
compromise under the voting rules
which permit no conclusions except all
three groups eoncnr and require a ma
jority of the membership of each group
for tho expression of that group's I
opinion.
Members of ths group representing
the publie at their meeting late today
authorized Chairman Baruch to lav a
number of proposals before the con
ference tomorrow.
Samuel Gompers announced follow
ing a prolonged meeting of the labor
delegatea that their 'program is in good
ships and will be Introduced at the
proper time," but he declined to say
when the "proper time" would be.
While some labor representatives were
of the opinion that the progn.ni should
be introduced at once If ths business
of tho conference is to be expedited, it
is generally recognized thai ths de
cision as to the right moment lies' with
Mrf " Gompers himself. John Fiti
patriek, chairman, of the committee
which organized a steel strike, wss in
conference a long time lata today with
the labor group. ' '

(By Special Leased Wire.)
Washington, Oct. 8. The agencies of
lawlessness and the imps of vice are
busy in Columbus county, According
to a letter received here today by Con
gressman Godwin there is more liquor
being sold in and around Clarendon,
a small station of the Atlantic Coast
Line between Chadbourn and Conway,
than -there was ia the day of tho
licensed saloon.
A citizen of Clarendon, shy of public
ity through a fear that he will be slain
by tho blind tigers, appeals to Mr.
Godwin to use his good offices to have
secret service men sent there to break
up the liquor traffic. The intimation
in the letter eent by the Clarendon man
is that the sheriff and the constituted
authorities in Columbus are negligent
in the discharge of official duties and
the blockading business is flourishing.
Has Wide Reputation.
Columbus has a state-wide reputa
tion for its peculiar product in the way
of intoxicating beverages. In the
swamps of that county first originated
what is now well known as "Monkey
Rum." - It is so" well known, in fact,
that tho mention of the county brings
the suggestion of "Monkey Rum" and
an accompanying query about its manu
facture.
Washington, the National Capital, has
even heard about Columbus eounv
monkey rum." When members of the
Taf Heel delegation begin to unfold
to fellow members a story of the in
dustrial wealth of the State they pause
long enough to refer to this typical
Eastern Carolina product lest a listener
be carried into Utopian dreams by the
narrative.
And (,'larendon, from whence comes
the letter to Mr. Godwin, is in the
heart of the "monkey rum" sector, it
is a small town just a few miles from
the South Carolina border, that part
of the border which ten years ago was
the "dead line" to the black man. It
has been said, and it remains to he
successfully contradicted, that for a
stretch of live miles that separated
Columbus from South Carolina not a
black man crossed the Carolina boun
dary until in 1914, after the State be
gan its campaign against illiteracy,
Not Backward Coanty.
But it does not necessarily follow
that Columbus is a backward' county.
Right now It is teeming, secording to
reports, in agricultural wealth and the
resources of its banks are ten times
greater .than they were four years ago.
It has made a notable record ia the
number of new schoolhouses built and
during the war it gave freely to every
call for money on men. It has at no
time been listed s "out of the Union.''
"Monkey rum,' 'however, is. its chief
drawback. Stills are destroyed almost
daily but it's the same' old iforybf The"
frog climbing up two feet and falling
back three. The officers in the county
have never made an intensive campaign
against the blockaders because the
blockaders are so thick they make their
nfluence felt at the polls. Federal offi
cers have never been able to make a
successful dent in ths trsffie becsn e
of the fine locations afforded by the
hundreds of swamps and acres of marsh
land.

John Collins Is Hitting Star For

ber Twice; Reds Erratic in
Fielding; Attendance . Very.
Small; Score 4-1
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 8. Winning to
day's game against Cincinnati, 4'to 1,
the recently dejected and all but hops
less WI).ito Sox of Chicago now consider
themselves real contenders for ths
World's baseball championship. The
series now stands four gams for Cin
cinnati and .three for the American
League leaders. ' Tomorrow weather per
mitting, they play in Chicago. The ath
letes of tho pallid hose took the train "
tonight jubilant at the manner ia which
they have snatched a chance of victory
from what seemed certain defeat, and
were determined that the eighth contest,
played on their own familiar real estate
and cheered by their loyal following,
will see the series tied up.
The sero-eomic affair of yesterday was
succeeded today by real baseball. Tha
visitors earned two of tlieir tallies hv
conscientious workmanship and this was
enough to win. The other two came
partly by the grade of the Reds' errors.
Four misdeeds were charged against
Garry Herrmann's athletes and but one
against tho Comiskey entry.
Cincinnati trotted out pinch pitchers,
pinch batters and pinch runners, in a
desperato endeavor to come up from,
behind, as the Sox did yesterday, but
all to no avail. The Reds used three
pitchers, Bailee, Fisher and Luque, and
another pitcher, Ruether, appeared aa
ln emergency batsman. Despite the ar
ray of hurlers, the Sox accumulated tea
hits, while the National Leaguers were
able to polo out hut seven. j
Cicotte Wins at Last. '"'l
Eddie Cicotte, who was driven f roni
the box in the firaat frame of the sei
rics and lost his second game because'
his team-mates could not hit anything,
cf.me into his own in this afternoon's
attraction. He exhibited, control, speed
and judgment, and bis comrades played,
with a confidence, properly tempered
and qualified by reeent severe lessons
and a dash that reminded their clientele
of their best mid-season form.
The narrowing of Cincinnati's margin
of victories caused serious considera
tion of the possibility of a ninth game.
Cincinnati won the toss taken imme
diately after todny's game, and the de
ciding contest, if Chicago evens things
up tomorrow, will he played here next
Friday. President Hey dler, of the Na
tional League, tossed the coin, and Mr.
Herrmann guessed it would be tails,
and tails it was.
For ths first time in the series ma-iy
seats were vacant, due, it was said, to tha
general belief that seats would be diffi
cult to obtain. Everybody expected
that everybody else would be ahead
o'f them aud the result was a half crowd
in the left field bleachers, many vacan
cies in those in the right, but little
unpopulated patches even in the grsnd
stands. Usually the official attendance
figures are ready during the game, bat
a half hour after the last ont today
none were at hand, and it was an
nounced that they would not be ready
for an hour. Just what went wrong
was not stated, but it was not because
the erowd came too fast to be counted,
A stiff wind was blowing from center
seross the plate during the struggle.
When the Sox came on the field tha
band, which on the Red grounds al
ways ' has some little musical sarcasm
at hand, played "She May Have Seen
Better Days" and "Please Go Way and
Let Me Sleep."

Felsch also delivered a bingje on which
Jackson took second, but Felsch was
forced at second by Gandil's bounder,
.ending the assault for the moment,
' In their half the home team took heart
when Eddie Collins juggled Bath's
