CANADA INCREASES
i NUDITY PENALTIES
Three-Year Prison Sentence
Provided in Bill Aimed
at Doukhobors.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA. Onta’.io, July 25.—Any
member of the Doukhobor sect disrobing
In public and staging a nude parade with
other Doukhobors will go to prison fcr
three years, according to an amendment
to the criminal code punishing scanty
attire in general passed by the Cana
dian House of Commons. Its promul
gation awaits Senate passage.
Led by W. K. Esling. Conservative
member for West Kootenay, Doukhobor
locality, several western members last
night supported this provision included
among amendments to the code sub
mitted by Minister of Justice Hugh
Guthrie, providing also for heavier
penalties for chicken stealing, for cruel
ty to animals and for false advertise
ments.
Fear Unintended Use.
Other members, most of them from
Eastern Canada, took the attitude that
the provision was expressly aimed at
fanatical Doukhobor sects, and that it
placed machinery in the hands of en
forcement officers that might also affect
chorus girls and bathing beaches.
Mr. Esling assailed the Doukhobors
mightily, charging them with having
burned $50,000 worth of schools and
halls during the last two yerrs and
with having become a menace to de
cent, law-abiding residents of Western
Canada, referring to farmers residing
near them, who had been forced to
move to other sections of the country
in order that their children might not
become degraded by Doukhobor parades
and exhibitions.
Skeptical of Effect.
James S. Woodsworth, Labor member
for Winnipeg North Center, took the at
titude that repressive measures had not
affected the religious fanatical actions
of the sects and that the present in
crease of imprisonment period would
have no corrective effect. The offend
ing persons, he said, formed only a
small section of the Doukhobor settlers,
the majority being decent, quiet and
law-abiding, anxious to educate their
children and be Canadians.
On the other hand. H. H. Stevens,
minister of trade and commerce, de
clared that for the last few' years the
offending sects had received treatment
which had accomplished nothing ex
cept to encourage them in their disre
gard for law' and order. Patient con
sideration had been given them and the
present law was not aimed at any one
observing even common decency, he
contended.

HAIRY RACE IN BORNEO JUNGLE
- TO BE HUNTED AS LOST LINK
Scientific Expedition to Seek Monkey-Like
Men Seen Long Ago in Unknown
Reg ions of East Indies.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 24—Into the
steaming jungles of Borneo an Ameri
can expedition w'ill plunge soon in
search of a hairy, monkey-like race of
men. which may prove to be the long
sought “’missing link” in human de
velopment.
Thirty scientists will make up the
party, hazarding the pcrll-infested
region up the Sampit River. The point
they are to head for is hundreds of
miles from the Rudeet civilization and
has been visited only twice by white
men. They will seek speeiments of
many forms of life for a group of
American museums insufficiently fin
anced to each maintain an expedition.
Reported Years Ago.
Dr. Carl Lumholz, German scientist,
and Jean Nicholson, the English soldier
explorer, reported seeing members of
the strange race many years ago. Dr.
Harry Carpelan. head of the American
expedition, said today he hopes not only
to see them but to make motion picture
records of their mode of living.
The expedition's itinerary, in addi
tion to the important Borneo quest, will
: include a search for rare plant and
animal specimens in Porto Rico, at the
invitation of Gov. Roosevelt; Haiti, the
Galapagos, Samoa, Pacific Islands,
Science
Cannibalism Rife Among
Australian Nomads.
] Cannibalism still is rife among no
i madic black men of Northwestern Aus-
I tralia. according to a report on the
Cuinis and Cullaris tribes just issued
j by the Catholic Anthropological Con
i ference.
The report is from the Rev. E. Al
calde, missionary among them since
1908.
‘ They are expert butchers,” he says.
“The heart goes to the strongest and
is the first oart of the body to be dis
posed of. Next, the shoulders, arms and
trunk are given to the men, while the
legs go to the women. All this is sys
tematically carried out. The flesh of
the white man is looked upon as a
dainty morsel.
These aboriginals are nomads with
i out fixed homes. They have neither
(house nor furniture and possess little
1 beyond their spears, boomerangs and
! battle-axes, which they always have at
j hand. They wear no clothing except
i when they come to the mission. As
soon as they go out of sight all clothes
are cast off.
"The women are the slaves of the
men and, when necessary, are the
beasts of burden. Murder is the great
arbiter of all disputes.” —T. R. H.

The expedition also Will seek the i
pangolin, a remnant, as the scientist j
put it, of the "lost world.” “The ani- •
mal is known to exist,” he said, "but •
no specimen has yet been found It is '
about 4 feet long, covered with a scaly
armor and resembles the familiar South
American ant-eater.”
Several millionaire New Yorkers are

FOURTH RUMTRUCK
SOUGHT IN VIRGINIA
15,000 Quarts of Liquor and
Two Men Held'in Henrico
/ County.
By th» Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va . July 25.—With
15,000 quarts of alleged bonded and
imported liquors already stored in
Henrico County Jail and three large
trucks confiscated, State officers to
night bent their efforts toward locating
a fourth truck believed to belong to a
fleet engaged in transportation of the
Illegal beverage from some point along
the Carolina coast to New York.
The captured liquor, having an es
timated value of $150,000 at boot
leggers' prices, constitutes the largest
haul so far made in Virginia, and the
big trucks, which seem practically new,
add to the value of the caUh.
Yesterday State officials seized two
of the trucks on the highway near Tap
pshannock. The third was captured
early today by Inspector R. H. Griz
zard of the motor vehicle department,
after a chase out of Victoria to 15
miles north of Lawrenceville in Bruns
wick County. No arrests were made
when the first two trucks were taken,

AIR TOUR WINNER
Ten Planes Complete Race
Started July 4—Smart
Gets Second Place.
By the AisocUted Preti.
DETROIT, July 25.—The 1991 na
tional air tour had completed its 6,590-
mUe swing over the Central and South
western United States tonight, with
Harry Russell of Dearborn winner by a
lead of more than 9,000 points for the
Edsel B. Ford Trophy. His score was
63,764.
Ten tour planes reached the Ford
Airport late this afternoon and taxied
upon the runways to be welcomed by
Ford officials and a crowd of more than
8,000 persons. The ships had been es
corted from Akron. Ohio, the last stop
on the tour, by 18 Army planes from
Selfrldge Field. The eleventh plane fin
ishing the tour, piloted by Eddie Stin
son, was forced down and delayed at
Toledo by a broken fuel line.
Smart Gets Second Place.
Russell brought his tri-motored
plane to rest at the airport at 3:15
p.m., his flying time from Akron having
been 1 hour and 15 minutes. J. H.
Smart of Dearborn, piloting another tri
motored plane, landed a moment later.
The remaining contestants arrived dur
ing the next two hours. The completion
of the 21-day tour climaxed a day of
aerial events at the airport, which ln
i eluded the take-off of seven balloons
I for the fourth Detroit balloon race for
the Detroit News Trophy,

Detroit aeronautical leaders gathered
for a banquet at the airport to hear the
official standings announced and to wlt
i ness the awarding of the trophy.
