yesterday at the edge of swamp two
miles from here, by a hunter The lad
had been missing since Oct 8, when he
disappeared from his home on the out
skirts of Hammonton and nation
wide search had been conducted for
him. Long exposure made identified
tion of the body impossible, but the
chid's father identified the clothing,
which was found nearby. The discov-
cry was made by neighbor of the Dan
sey's.
Edmund G Gaskill, jr., prosecutor Of
Atlantic county, and other officials ex-
pressed the belief that the child was
lured to the swamp and attacked by a
degenerate. After a thorough exami.

MORE INDUSTRIES
MAY SHUT DOWN
As the Soft Coal Miners Began Their
Fourth Week of Idleness and
Scale Conference Dead
locked.

Chicago, Nov. Additional shut
downs of industrial plants, mainly in
the central west, were in prospect to-
day as the striking bituminous coal
miners began their fourth week Of idle
ness, with the operators miners scale
conference at Washington apparently
remaining deadlocked
More encouraging reports from West
Virginia, Colorado and the state of
Washington were received but from
the other soft coal fields no Indication
came of an intention to resume work.
With the supply being shortened daily,
however, it was agreed among officials
that If disaster was to be ayerted
something must be done quickly to add
to the relatively small quantity of fuel
now being brought out.
In that connection it was pointed out
that the shortage probably would not
be relieved Immediately upon an agree
ment at Washington by the wage scale
conferees, as the miners, before return
ing to work generally, might await
approval of convention of union dele
gates to be summoned after the settle
ment terms were announced.
More than 1900 carloads of coal were
received in Chicago from the east yes
terday, but were held for release only
to public utilities and dispensable in.
dustries. In emergency some of ii
would be released to homes, the chair
man OF the coal committee said.

LICENSES SUSPENDED.
William j. McGreevey of Burlington
and Harold ]. Hayes of Fair Haven.

Harry A. Black, secretary of state,
has suspended the automobile opera
tors licenses of William J. MeGreevey
of Burlington, who was convicted in
city court in that city Of intoxcation,
and of Harold j Hayes Of Fair Haven
for the accident when he ran into Mrs.
Andrew Frost in that village recently.
The accident report Of collision
that occurred in Calais has been re-
eeived at the secretary of states office.
1t appears that Henry Berry's car and
car 25502 slid together while they were
passing, with no blame attached to
either, the trouble being due to a mar
row road and conditions of the surface.
The report of the hearse of f. W..
Varney of Vergennes being run into by
a New York car while there was a
corpse in the hearse has been received
at the same Office. It appears that the

Despite the Statement by
Lodge That the Time for
Compromise Was Past
AN ELECTION ISSUE
OF TREATY POSSIBLE
Sen. Hitchcock Says 1t Is
Now an Issue of Parti-
sanship or Patriotism

Washington, ID. G., Nov. 22--Wheth-
er compromise efforts are to be made to
ratify the peace treaty, or the whole
controversy thrown into the 1920 pres.
idential campaign for decision was a
question which aroused lively specula.
tion to-day in official and political cir
cles.
1t was agreed everywhere that the
statement issued last night by Sena.
tor Lodge, the Republican Senate
leader, declaring the time for compro-
mise had passed and that it was his
desire that the majority reservation
program be carried into the campaign
had advanced materially the movement
to leave the treaty situation just as
1t is for the present and give the peo-
pie a chance to decide the issue next
year,
The first expressions of administra-
tion senator's regarding the statement
were defiant in tone, though they still
predict that before the campaign be
gan the Republicans would come into
a compromise agreement. that would
make ratification possible.
Senator Hitchcock, the acting admin.
istration leader. declared that while
the Democrats would be loath to see
the treaty made political issue, they
would accept it, if the Republicans in
sisted with entire confidence OF the out
come.
IF the Republican leader wants to
make political ISSUE said Mr.. Hitch
cock, "of course he will not cornpro-
mise. But if he really wants the
treaty ratified he will make a reason
able effort to compromise. The ques.
tion is one Of partisanship or patriot
ism"
Senator Hitchcock predicted that
President Wilson would re-submit the
treaty at the beginning of the next
session Of Congress on Dec. ! and that
a compromise would result. 1t was ad.
mitted by the administration leaders
however, that they had no definite as
surance the president would prefer
that course to a postponement OF fur
ther action until the people had spok.
