OPPONENTS
 BLOCK vOTE IN TREATY CHANGES
Little Possibility of the Shantung Amendment Be ing Brought to Vote for Period of Days = Long Wrangle Follows Post ponement-Text Reading Starts Soon

WASHINGTON. Oct S.-opnonents of the peace treaty today blocked all attempts to bring the Shantllnc amendment to a vote in the senate this week and then refused 10 acced' to q joint request by republican and democratic leaders for it's considera tion one week hence.
 In the half hour Wrangle that fol- lowed the suggestion of Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations commit tee that the senate could speed up tie treaty by reading the printed text Whll" senators were preparing speeches on the Shantung provision, the charge was made and denied that a full fledged filibuster soon might envelope the pact and delay final action on it,
 Earlier in the day democratic leaders had declared that there was 10 hope of a vote this week on Shantung be- cause Senator Borah, republican of Idabo had let il be known that he would not give unanimcus consent to such a move before Senator Johnson republican of California. had returned from his western speaking tour against the league Of nations

 Declaring that both the country and ! the senate were desirous of having the treaty disposed of Senator Underwood of Alabama declared that the senate
 should not wait until next week to vote on the Shantung amendment. when 1 every senator knew now how he would vote on the amendment and the treaty itself.

 When the senate adjourned al ! o'clock, however. the Maryland senator had not concluded his address, the rest of which will be delivered tomorrow.

CHILD CARRIED AWAY
 BY WOMEN AUTO|STS
 BELIEVED KIDNAPPED

The mysterious disappearance of George, the two and one-half year old child belonging to J. H. Asaff and wife of Superior. Arizona. was reported to the police yesterday by Charles Sadey, 24 North Tenth street. in whose care the boy has been placed.
 According to several neighbors. two women were seen to take charge of the child while it was playing in the vi cinity of Tenth and Adams streets about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The witnesses say they saw the women walk with the child to a waiting motor car at the corner of Tenth street and Monroe. Before the neighbors fully grasped the import of the little scene, the women and child had disappeared in a cloud of dust. Neighbors said the youngster cried and struggled.
 Little George Asaff was left in the custody of Charles Sadey and wife about six months ago when the mother of the boy became too ill to properly care for him. Sadey. being friend of the family, was asked to board the boy until the parents were in a better position to care for him.
 The child seemed very well satisfied with his new home, according to Sadey and never attempted to run away. It is not thought that he became lost
 Sadey communited with the mother of the child at superior by telephone Mrs. Asaff could give no reason why any one should wish to carry away the child.
 The child has brown hair and browr eyes. The hair is rather straight and parted on the right side.

 The coming of the royal train was heralded ahead and at every station throngs had gathered to catch a glimpse of Albert. his consort and their son. At Julesburg, Colorado, both the king and queen alighted to take a brief tramp along the tracks.
