" 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 days treaty consideration wonld eon sist of set speeches and the monotonous drone of reading clerks plowing through the printed text.

DANIELS ORDERS INQUIRY INTO REPORTS OF HAZING Rumored Two Midshipmen at Annappljs Tried Suicide iBe- cause of Treatment Washington, Oct. 8. Inquiry into re ported coses of hazing at the Naval Academy at Annapolis wss 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 today that Midshipman P.

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.

Encouragd by the patient's progress near Admiral Orayson, the President personal physician, let him sit un i bed part of the day, but insisted on keeping his attention as far as possible away from official business. Unless something urgently requiring attention should develop, it is tho plan to con tinue his confinement to bis room fo the present, and to insist that he tak the opportunity for a real rest.

By R. E. POWELL. (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. Senate Adopta Report.

Eddie Cicotte Rewarded at Last With Victory After Three Starts SALLEE KNOCKED OUT AFTER FOUR INNINGS John Collins Is Hitting Star For Chicago, Garnering Three . Safeties and Crossing Rub 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." Starta Scoring Early. This did not impair the buoyancy ef the slandered athletes who retaliated without delay by putting a run over in the first inning.
