Seek Compromise
 in South American
 Boundary Dispute
Rr AnnocIntnd Prcna

Washington, June 21.-Further steps were taken by Secretary Hughes today toward a compromise solution of the chilean-P Peruvian conference tangle.
 Having received a complete out line of the Chilean position in two previous talks with Ambassador Ma thieu of that country, the secretary summoned Ambassador Pezet of Peru to the state department and dis cussed with him at length 2eru's side of the controversy.
 It was not revealed whether Mir. Hughes actually suggested any ground for compromise but the im- pression was given in conference circles that he at least had made a move to learn informally what sort of compromise the Peruvian's would be willing to accept.
 There also were tntimations after Ambassador Pezet's visit that com promise formula for arbitration of the Tacna-Arica question was talk ing rather different form as result of the continued inquiries of state department officials and that con crete development in the discussion was imminent,
 Secretary Hughes also talked today with Dr. l.. s. Rowe, director gen. eral of the Pan-American union, who has kept in close touch with both sides during the negotiations here and with Under Secretary Phillips who has gathered much information about the situation and whose rdvice will be sought in any compromise suggestion formally put forward by the state department.

Samson. June 21.--Authorities here are conducting a thorough probe of the death of Ben Chambers, whose body was found late yesterday aft ernoon In Pea river In shallow water following dragging of the stream for several hours.
 The mysterious finding of human hair, bits of clothing and blood spots covering the railroad bridge near Pera. 3 miles from here led officials to investigate.

 Several clues are being followed up and officers say that one arrest or more will probably be made soon. Chambers body showed that he had been shot four times with a pistol.

Out of 118 Members of New Dali, 55 Favor English
 Agreement
By Associated Press

Dublin, June 21.-Ten seats for the new Dail Eireann remain to be filled. two in Kildare and Wicklow and eight in Cork; these are not likely to be announced until tomorrow.
 The figures for the 11s seats al- ready announced are:
 Pro-treaty. 55; anti-treaty. 3s; la- bor. 15: independents, G; farmers, 5; Trinity college members, 4.
 It Is thought that Waterford and Tipperary returned CAthal Brugha Charles Brugess) former minister of defense, on the third count The constituency has shown itself to be overwhelmingly pro-treaty, and the two rejected candidates are the most significant in the whole elec- ton. Seamus Robinson, active dis sentient army leader. was carly eliminated; but more remarkable was the defeat of Daniel Breen, who was fighting against the British in 1920 and 1921, and no man was more ea- gerly sought by military and police.

 The elections have caused dis tinct change In the future prospects Of the Irish government. After the Collins DeValera pact it was as- sumed however numerous the suc- cesses of the independent candidates nothing could prevent the joint Sim Feiners from having a majority we'll over 30 In excess of the new corners and the coalition counted on the cer- tain support of any policy on which the leaders agreed.
 A majority for the joint Sim Fein is not in doubt. They agreed they would outnumber all the others by nearly 40. but the prospects of an agreement, are disappointing, and the division of the Dail now seems more likely to follow the essential division between those who support and those who oppose the treaty. On both sides there Is pessimism as to the possibility of forming any coalition.
