Undertakers Deny

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Denial of
Aarges that the undertakers of this
country from pecuniary motives.
we're behind the government to have
Americas soldier dead returned
from France. was made today by
Iohn f. Martin, Of Elizabeth. n. j..
president of the National FuneraI
Directors association.
"There has not been and is NOT
now any organized effort on the
part of the undertakers to urge the
bringing back of these bodies" said
statement issued by Mr.. Martin.
He added that to bring back bodies
10 those who wished their sons TO
remain buried in France would be
"a great shock and injustice" Meet
ings recently held in New York and
other cities at which the opposite
point of view was taken, he declared,
were held without any undertakers
having been present.
ITO my mind" he said, "and l be-
lieve l voice the sentiment of our
profession as a whole, it is purely
a matter for the government to de-
eide how many bodies shall be
brought home" ...

Plan for Sweeping /
Investigation Of u. S.
Disciplinary Barracks

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. H.
Preparations for carrying into effect
orders of Federal Judge John C. POI
lock, that a Sweeping and compre
hensive" investigation be made into
conditions at the federal disciplin
airy barracks at Fort Leavenworths
Kans., were begun today by State
District Attorney Robertson.
Mr.. Robertson said his plans AS
yet were entirely tentative. He ad-
ded, however, that he expected to so
fully into charges made yesterday
at the trial in Kansas City, Kans.,
of eleven former inmates of the bar
racks that for several months in
1919 the institution was governed by
a Soviet committee of prisoners
and that their regime, sanctioned by
the officer who was commandant at
the time, developed into a reign Of
terror" during which crime flourish
ed and prisoners openly were mis-
treated.
AS evident that Judge Pollock be-
lieved the barracks investigation
should be a far-reaching one, court
officials today pointed to his instruc-
lions to the jury in trial at which
evidence was brought out

Wages increased 100 per cent, Mr.

tically depleted during the summer
of 1917 and the winter of 1918, he
told the committee, because of In
creased wages paid for government
construct ton work.

CONFEREES ARE
IN DEADLOCK ON
RAILROAD BILLS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Senate
and house conferces IN their efforts
to adjust the differences between the
Cummins ana Esch railroad bills
have reached deadlock that threat
ened to break M the negotiations.
it was learned today.
Both sides SO far have failed to
yield on the differences in the most
vital factors of railroad reoTgani-
cation. These include the anti
strike sections of the Cummins bill,
the permanent guaranteed return Of
51s per cent, a federal tYaMspoTt3-
ton board and federal consolidation
and Incorporation OF the lines.
Senator Cummins is standing firm
ly for the provisions of his bill and
is said to have served notice on the
house conferees that unless they ac-
cept some of the important features
of his program, congress might as
we'll give UP the task Of trying to
pass railroad legislation. House
conferees have replied that in that
event the RESPONSE bility for the fail
ure to leg!slate would rest with the
senate
Indications are that the confer
ence will break up shortly and that
both sets of conf2rees will appeal
to their respective houses for instruc,
tons as to what points should be
yielded. 1t is virtually certain that
the house members Will take such
steps if the senate continues to in
sist upon the anti-strike and perma-
nent guarantee provisions. Chairman
Esch, of the house committee, stat
ed when the bill was sent to con-
ference that the anti-strike section
would not be agreed to without di-
rect orders from the house. The
federal transportation board also is
encountering strong opposition from
house members. Any agreement will
not be ready for submission to both
| houses until after February /, it is
believed, thus allowing only a month
for final agreement to be reached
and everything made ready for the
return of the lines on March 1, as
| ordered by the president. ...
Labor organizations are continu-
ing their efforts to have federal
| control extended two years, but
members point out the roads must
go back March 1. because of the
presidents action. even if congress
should favor this delay.

NO BREAK YET IN
LINEUP IN SENATE
LEADERSHIP FIGHT
TLo Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building,
By THEODORE TTLnER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1T.-Metro-
politan newspapers are devoting con-
siderable attention to the deadlock
in the Underwood-Hitchc contest
for the Democratic leadership of the
senate and the failure Of Senator
HoEe Smith 10 vote for either can
didate. 1t IS conceded shat Senator
Smith holds the key to the situation
assuming nat there will be no
changes in the vote as cast ana
paired Thursday. and there is specu~
lation as 20 what candidate tine
Georgia senator's vote eventually
will go.
Published reports that Senator
Smith would swing at the next eau
Gus to senator Underwood, of Ala
bama, were declared by Senate"
Smith to be unauthorized" The
only statement he has made so far
is substantially the explanation he
made to the caucus that his personal
relations with both men were SO
close and his friendship for each so
strong he had been unable to bring
himself to vote against either.
On the next ballot the Georgia
senator may go either to Underwood
or Hitchcock, in order to break the
tie which no one expected.
1t is evident that unless some 9TH
er senator changes his mind, the
vote will still be a tie with the re-
turn of the absentees, and the vote
of 10 to 10 yesterday will be changed
to % to %, with Senator Smith hold
ing the balance of power and the
controlling vote.
There is some discussion here Of
the possibility of a dark horse"
candidate, but the indications are
that the race will be run out be-
tween Hitchcock and Underwood
Originally three names were suggest
ed for the leadership, but Senator
Simmons, of North. Carolina, elimI-
mated himself, and the race narrowed
to the senators from Alabama and
Nebraska .r...t
The vote in caucus was not along
sectional lines, although mist of the
so-called southern group voted for
Underwood. The exceptions were the
two Texas senator's, the two North
Carolina senators and Senator Tram
NELL, of Florida.
The treaty fight is not directly in
volved in the leadership deadlock.
Senator Underwood says that re-
CARELESS of who wins Senator Hitch
cock will continue to take the lead
in treaty matters as the ranking
Democrat of the foreign relations
committee. Senator Simmons also
gave an interview saying the treaty
issue is not involved. He smilingly
admitted that Senator Smith seemed
to have the balance of power, in
view of the unusual and unexpected
situation. The leadership matter, he
said, was purely one of personal
choice and without political, section
al or other significance.

were Extraordinarily sin liar in their
characteristics to certain moluscs IN
Hawaii. So L determined to visit the
island, study these shells and it's
entire flora and fauna
If the Juan Fernandez moluscs
should prove to be closely allied with
those of Hawaii, Dr.. Bryan ex-
planned in an address here, it would
prove that land connection had eX-
listed, as the species must have trav-
cled from Juan Fernandez to Ha-
wall, or vice versa, by the rivers of
the prehistoric continent. He hopes
by visiting the island to find evidence
of the date of submerganca of the
continent, its geology, configuration
and the direction in which the riv-
ers run. He is equipped with a div
er's suit and other paraphernalia
necessary for making scientific re-
searches.
Prof. Bryan considers it not I'M
likely that the lost Pacific CONT
nent preceded that of South America

Policeman Kills
Resisting Soldier at
Columbia Depot

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 17.-FranlI
Yonca, a private in the Forty-sixth
machine company, at Camp Jackson,
was shot and killed by W. H. N.
BoyI1in, a Columbia policeman, here
Friday. Two soldiers were asleep in
the Seaboard passenger station here
Friday morning. The policeman told
them to move on. The soldiers re-
scented the order and Yonca resisted
the officer, taking his billet from
him. The officer used his gun. The
soldier died in ten minutes.
Boyl1in was placed under arrest,
but was released on bond in the
afternoon. The soldiers body is in
a local undertaking establishment.
Camp authorities have left the case
entirely to civilian authorities.
