MARK IT DOWN..
MRS. FEARING.
IS NOT TALKING.

For one time in her life Mrs
James G. Fearing of Elizabeth
City refuses to talk. The
Democratic State Committee
woman when asked this week
if she would support Al Smith
the party's nominee. or resign
as a member of the State Exc
cutive Committee, refused to
talk. 49,.
'1'm too busy peeling peaches tC
talk now" said Mrs. Fearing. with,
out even hOthering to explain wheth'
er she expected to preserve. pickle
or brandy the aforesaid peaches.
The nomination of AL Smith puts
this prominent Elizabeth City fem
mist in an awkward fix. Before
and during the Houston convention
she followed the sanctified lead OF
the Hon. Josephus Daniels and
fought the nomination of Governor
Smith. Now. as Il member of her
party's State Executive Committee
she is supposed to work for the
party ticket. According to the rules
sho should either promptly declare
her loyalty to the party and Its
nominee or resign from the State
Committee. She chooses to do
neither. finding the diversion OF
peeling peaches less embarrassing.
Indeed, Mrs. Fearing who Is
usually publicly active and given
to expressing herself freely. has not
been conspicuous at all since the
Houston convention and this news
paper tried for week before II
could get her ear for a moment
1t is no secret that Mrs. Fearing
belong to local group that Is
hostile to Governor Smith and l.
opposed to his success; but she Is Il
practical woman. Il politician az
heart and enjoys her contacts with
Democratic leaders thruout the
State. She Is in the ticklish posi-
ton of trying to retain her place on
the State Committee and her pres
tige in Methodist church circles al
at the same time, New when one
Is hampered by skirts II il no easy
fent to walk u tight rope like that
But for the present Mrs. Fear
ing is keeping thoroughly good
tongue we'll in her head; i'll the
meantime there Is more or less state
wide interest in what she will have
TO say when she Is finally forced to
declare herself. Even women IN
politics are expected to declare
themselves.

With unofficial returns complete from 26 out of 49 precincts in the First Division, and from nine each in the Third and Fourth, Delegate Dan Sutherland was leading George B. Grigsby Democratic nominee, fer Delegate to Congress by PIT votes late today, The race is the closest in Alaskan political his tory since 1918
 Grigsby was leading in the First Division until mid-afternoon when returns from Klawak and Craig both overwhelmingly for his op- ponent. swept it away and gave Sutherland a lead of 36 in the Di- vision. The latter leads by 94 votes in the Third and S5 in the Fourth, and no returns have been received from the Second Division
 Grigsby carried Juneau, Ketchi- kan, Sitka, and Skagway of the larger towns, broke even at Pe- tersburg, and polled larger in the smaller precincts reporting than any~ Delegate candidate of his party since 1918.
 He carried cordova in the Third and cut deeply into the usual Sutherland majority in An chorage, and lest Seward by 21 votes. He is behind 94 votes in the Third Division with about 60 per cent of the estimated vote al ready counted

hite Indians'
 Reported Liuing
 In Ansazon ValIey

PARA, Barzil, Nov. 7.-Re- ports of the presence of white Indians" in the Amazon Valley have been revived by newspaper dispatches published here telling of the discovery of such Indians in the Araguaya and Tocantlns regions
 The dispatches state that the Indians are tall, well museled and fearless. The men wore bone ornaments through the nose and lower lip. Reports have been re- eeived that these Indians have raided construction gangs along the new railroad line and carried off tools and foodstuffs. On one occasion they carried off an old man whose fate is not known.
 Brazilian scientists in Para are planning to equip an expedition to explore the region for the pur- pose of learning about the white Indians in whom foreign seien- lists have always taken great interest,
