Discovery of a house In which Hilly Dnnsey is be lieved to have been murdered and a hole in which the body is Minnoscd to have ' been subsequently hurled . were two Jiig developments today in the Hammonton i murder mystery. The deserted building in which Hilly is thought to have been killed is Ihe1 "Horsekillcr house" on the Horseklller place, about a mile and a half from the Uansey home and about fiOO feet from - where thc boy's skeleton was found In view of these discoveries and other developments it is generally predicted that Charles S.

Whoever wins this tight has broken the. Democratic ranks and it menus in thc end a compromise which will probably force thc Presi dent's hands. To check Mr. Underwood and defend his own leadership, Senator Hitchcock will probably call a caucus of tho Dem ocratic senators this week. The rx treme position Senator Underwood has taken indicates that he is engaged in a desperate gamble. Underwood in Kcvoll He is insurgent. He is virtually in reolt against President Wilson's lead ersliip. If he fell sure of the caucus result he would hardly go to the length of virtuully breaking with thc While House. Even the defeat of Senator Under wood will not cud the prfpcel.- of compromise. What, has happened is thai Senator Hitchcock has been care ful to do nothing that would not meet the approval of thc While House. He lias been extremely guarded throughout Ills leadership of the treaty tight. His position has been essentially conserva live. The result is that there has been in i the Democratic ranks a sort of radical, sentiment that n bolder policy on Sir.

Tho federal grand jury summoned by United States District Judge A. II. Anderson '.o In vestigate alleged violations of the Lever act and nntt-triist laws by operators and miners and chnrgei of conspieacv" bv both, In connection with the strike .of bituminous coal miners, wns impaneled today. Judge Anderson's charge to tho jur) was lengthy, nnd in concluding, he said: "Let your investigation in all thes 1 matters bo thorough and saerchlng and ; let your conclusions be a full answer W a question which has been uppermost in ' the minds of our citizens for the last few weeks: That is, whether the gov ernment of the United States or a group of men shnll rule this country, and ' whether we shall bo governed by law or force. i Joint Conspiracy Alleged Judge Anderson instructed the jury to investigate charges that the mine owners not only conspired nmong them solves to limit the production of coal, but that (hey conspired with the miners themselves. Stress wns laid on the failure of the ; miners to return to work when the order calling the strike of miners was rescind ed by international officers of the United Siine Workers by direction of tho court. Judge Anderson declared that Ihe court's order to cancel the strlkn was cimplied with "in form only" and that for a month the injunction called attention' to the system in effect in vir , tunlly all mines whereby thc miners' , union dues nrc held from their pay and turned over to thc union by the opera tors. He nlso pointed to charges that since the nassace of the Lever act the mine owners have madn enough profite audi thut these profits have been made, hy handling the business in certain particulars in violation ot the Lever law. .Sees Wow al Competition The charge quotes from a speech made in the House of Representatives on October 20.

Admission Hy Lewis Charged "On the fnce of it," Judge Anderson declared, "this is a direct admission by Mr. Lewis that thc charge of an Un lawful combination between tlie mine workers and the miue operators is true." Several witnesses, nmong them coal mine operators, had already been sum moned to appear and indications were that the operators would be the first of the two main groups of alleged violators under investigation.
