ELK'S| BODY
May Be Brought from China to

This State.
t..Ee,AL 70 yas TELssaA.-

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. IA
Huntington Elks are making an eff
fort to have, the body of II. w. Gull
bertson, formerly a member OF that
order, brought back from China. Mr..
Culbertson had for ten years been
employed by the British-American
Tobacco Company in China. when he
was drowned near Kaiu Flu on Sep
temper A.
H. n. Darnall, exalted ruler Of the
Huntington Elks, took up with Sen
ator Chiffon the matter Of bringing
the body back, while Frank II. Tyree.
also asked Congressman Sutherland
to assist and Congressman Hughes,
who is at home. wired the state de-
partment about the same matter.
Senator Chiffon had conference
with officials of the state department
and learned that while. the regula-
lions probably would be required that
the body be cremated, arrangements
doubtless could be made to bring the
body back without cremation unless
death was caused by some contagious
disease. AS the reports are that Mr.
Culbertson was drowned, it is not ex-'
pected there will be any difficulty in
getting the permit for the return OF
the body.
The state department has cabled to,
China for information regarding the
case and action is expected In day
or SO.

IN the Clayton Anti-Trust Bill
is Traced TO the Vice


WASHINGTON,s ID. c.. Sept. -
Chiffon amendment to the Clayton
ant-trust bill. which was adopted
without debate by the Senate last
week is likely to; cause considerable
trouble with both legislative bodies
of Congress, and promises to prove;
a, troublesome question which may
throw another prohibition fight In
both Houses for settlement It is said.
by politicians here that auth orship OF
the amendment has been traced to
the vice president, who requested
Senator Chiffon to present 1T to the
Senate. The authorship of the ques-
toned amendment is regarded IN!
some quarters as q joke that went
WRONG. Mr.. Marshall has a reputa-i
ton for thinking up droII amend
ments, which he asks members to
present. 1t is. thought possible that
this was submitted In the same spirit
and was not appreciated as. joke.
The section in question, it was point
ed out. may be invoked to prevent
the shipment of wines or liquors from
a wet state into dry state. or. dry
territory within a state. and is REL
garded as substantially strengthening
to the Webb-Kenyon liquor law.
Whether the conferees accept or
reject the amendment, the probable
ity is that the disappointed element In
both houses will insist on roll call
decision, thereby bringing up, at
most convenient time. an issue which
members of both the Senate and the
House are not anxious to consideri
just at this time.
