EMMONS' BODY ARRIVES

The remains of Elijah B. Emmons, who died at Corozal, British Honduras, was brought to New Orleans by the United Fruit Company's liner Ellis yesterday and shipped to his former home at Carrollton, Miss., for final interment. Robert M. Gray, an undertaker of Carrollton, who went to British Honduras to exhume the remains and take them home for burial, accompanied the body.

Mr. Emmons died at Corozal a year ago of malarial fever. His family resides at Carrollton.
