WHITE CANNIBALS IN
0RINOCO JUNGLEs

New York City, May 16.-The cur
rent opinion that all cannibals must
be black was disproven by the report
of DR.. Rice who has Just returned from
Para, after having been wrecked off
the banks of the Orinoco River in
Sonth America.
DR.. Hamilton Rice, an explorer of
note, reports that while wrecked and
endeavoring to get their bark in shape

Il tribe of wild .meil,' all or whom were
above six feet in height and fair in
complexion. That they should be fair
in this tropical climate is an anomaly
but that they should be cannibals up
sets all preccdents as to eannibals as
press and pictorials have so consist
entity and persistently shown cannibals
to be black.
Dir. Rice has not made an extended
report on his trip as yet and many
wonder if his other experiences and
will be as startling ms this
one.

struck the hearts of those gathered
to pay homage to the martyr. The

captivated the audience with their
wonderfully blended voices and close
melody. They have few equals and
no superiors in America. Nine Anita
Patti Brown, also appeared and ac-
quilted herself creditably.
Atty. w. C. Hueston, and Rev.
Scott also spoke on the various issues
involved in the Bundy case.
DIR. Bundy electrified his audience
with his soulful words. He stated that
the prayers of his friends had contri-
buted more to his freedom than all
other agencies. Bishop Jones was
successful in awakening the audience
to the seriousness of the Bundy case.
$1,508.00 was contributed toward the
further defense of the hero. The au-
dience left the Coliseum with solemn,
serious faces, feeling that DR.. Bun
