HITCHCOCK IS CONFIDENT -Administration Leader, However, Admits Reservations 'Inevitable. Issue Taken Into Campaign. WASHINGTON. Nov. :--The peace treaty controversy apparently ' en terfl toniKht upon a week of waiting while Hentiment crystallises for a compromise or for a finish fight AV the JJt'O political campaign. Most of the few senators who re main f d here left for home and there was no indication at the White House that the prenident had" rhaTrgeC -hrs-decision to let treaty issues stand where they are until he sends his message to the new congress session. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, administration leader, issued a state ment today, reiterating1 his - belief that ratification would yet be accom plished. He said, however, reserva tions were "inevitable." The stand in favor of carrying the reservation fight into the campaign, outlined last night in a statement hy Republican Leader Lodge, was de clared by Mr. Hitchcock to have been actuated more by politics than by patriotism. The only word from the "White House during the day was a state ment by Secretary Tumulty saying that the president was in thorough accord with Senator Hitchcock's management of the fight for rat if i cation and was taking no part in the choice of a democratic senate leader to succeed the late Senator' Martin. The. statement was -directed against published reports that Senator Under wood of Alabama would have Mr. Wi Ison's backing for the leadership. In the coming week many ssnators on both sides are expected to feel out sentiment in their home states. PAYING BILLS TIRES WIFE WOMAN, 7 5, SAYS SHE KVEN BOUGHT SPOUSE'S TOBACCO.

Careful survey of the ground and adjacent brusn today failed to yield the least clew that might aid the authorities in deciding how the murder of Billy Dansey was accom plished. The , Folsom swamp, three miles from the Dansey home in Hammon ton, where the skeleton of the long missing boy was recovered yester day by George Eckhart and Hosea Horton, Hammonton gunners, was gone over by detectives in personal charge of Prosecutor Edmund C. Gas- kil aided by Beveral citizen volunteers. but at the conclusion of the day s in vestigation the authorities were no nearer solution of the problem than when the body was first found. Prosecutor Gaskill tonight ex pressed his conviction that the boy was slain, basing his conclusion on the way the clothing of the little victim was found scattered about the skeleton in the scrub pines. "The motive remains to be estab lished," said the prosecutors. "We have nothing on which to base it definitely, although there seems to be evidence that the boy met his death at the hands of a fiend- This, how ever, is not positive. The murder likely was brutal. probably by strangulation. There were no frac tures of the bones or of the skulL The child may have been abused before his death, but other than the position of the clothes and the fact that the body was pressed down into the ground, there is nothing to clinch this theory. "There is considerable volunteer in formation.' When the prosecutor's attention was called to the suspicion that a prisoner now in the state prison, con victed a short time ago of an attack on a 7-year-old child, might have been the culprit, he said: "We have no record of a conviction in this county since October 6. We know- nothing of the report and are not fol lowing it." KNIGHTS TO GIVE BALL Sifters of Holy Child to Benefit bj Thanksgiving Festival.
