TR|BESMEN OF BORNE0
Mcclure AND MOVIES
DR.. Carl Lumholtz Describes
Dayaks Before National Geo.
graphic Society.

Dayaks Of Borneo do not hunt heads
from sheer cruelty. but because of their
belief in immortality. according to Dr.
Carl Lumholtz. who lectured before the
National Geograp phic Society at the New
Masonic Temple yesterday afternoon and
last evening.
These native tribes believe. the speak
er said, that each head brought to the
will be their friend: and they hang the
captured heads in conspicuous places
because these spirits will keep evil
spirits away.
The first motion pictures taken of the
Borneo tribesmen. shown yesterday at
unusual methods of fishing yet discov-
cred. The natives gather by the river
side. beat the poisonous juices from
vines and then follow the poison to
pools. where the fish. stupefied, easily
may be speared or caught in nets.
Everybody in the usual Dayak tribe
smokes, including women and children,
as soon as they are able to hold between
their lips the large, loosely rolled cigars
made from native tobacco. The betal
great nimbleness in climbing the areca
palm trees to procure this narcotic.
AS climbers the natives have the
example of the long-nosed monkey,
found only in central Borneo. Hun
dreds Of these animals may be seen
scurrying about from tree to tree in
the thick jungles. Another curious
animal of this little known land is
the toothless ant eater, resembling a
miniature specimen of some prehis-
toric monster. and able to roll him
self into a furry ball. with no vul-
nerable spot exposed. when danger
threatens.
Many of the Dayak tribes wear few
clothes. but the fewer the clothes
among uncivilized peoples. the speak
er said, the higher is apt to be the
standard of morality. Neither does
the absence of clothes mean disre
gard for fashion. for the touch of
style is provided by paint jewels and
especially earrings, huge affairs for
which the lobes of the ear are
stretched enough to be wound twice
around the natural ear.
Some of the tribes have marked re-
spect for their dead. First body is
buried in the ground. and after five
years or so the skeleton is dug up
and placed in an artistic. pagodalike
structure a few feet above the ground.
Native dances often are highly ar
tistic, the motion pictures showed.
and following the dance the guest OF
honor is led to a great buffalo horn
of rice brandy by the most beautiful
maiden Of the tribe.

PERU T0CONTEST
!. PLAN OF BOLIVIA
Resents Effort to Obtain Pa
cific Seaport Through
Tacna-Arica Territory.

The Peruvian government reSents the
efforts of Bolivia to obtain a seaport on
the Pacific through the Tacna- AFRICA ter
ritory in the northern part of Chile,
which Peru claims rightfllly belongs to
her, according to cable from Foreign
Minister Porras to the Peruvian en-
ba ssy here. The ambassador of Peru.
Senior Pezet. in discussing the matter,
was equally emphatic in his assertion
that Bolivia could not hope to gain its
desired access to the sea in that man
ner.
Peru Notifies Bolivia.
Peru has notified Bolivia to that effect.
the message being in reply to resolu-
ton adopted about two weeks ago by
the chamber of deputies of Bolivia in
which the latter expressed its conf
dence in the policy which has for it's OBJ
Ject the incorporation under the domin-
ion of the republic of the port of africa
and the surrounding territory over which
Chile and Peru have no definite right"
The message to the Peruvian en-
bassy says:
I'm view of the resolution adopted by
the Bolivian government to attempt by
any means to acquire possession of
Tacna africa. even including the presen-
tation OF the case to the league of ma
tiohS, tHe feTuV1ah government mas sent
message to the Bolivian foreign office
expressing its surprise and declaring
that Peru will never listen to any such
proposition"
SuEEests Another Outlet.
The position of Peru. it was stated, is
that if Bolivia desires a seaport she
should seek it in the Chilean territory
south of Tacna AFRICA and not through
those provinces which. although in the
actual possession of Chile. have been
the subject Of dispute for many years
and have never had their final owner
ship determined
A plebiscite which was to have been
held according to the treaty at the close
of the war between Chile and Peru has
never taken place, because no agree
ment satisfactory to both nations as to
the manner of holding it could be
reached. Bolivia has suggested that the
question be referred to the league OF
nations. and proposition to that effect
was presented at the Paris peace con-
ference by Senor Ismael Monies, a
former president of that country.
Objects to Bolivia rs Claimant.
Peru is willing to have her controversy
with Chile over the Tacna-Arica prob
lem placed before the league. but not
with Bolivia as q claimant to part OF
the territory. Bolivia's outlet to the
Pacific. Peru argues. should be through
territory in Chile which formerly be-
lonSed to Bolivia and which she lost
and later ceded outright to Chile as a
result Of her war with that country.
