ISLE OF MALAITA STILL CURSED BY CANNIBAL FEASTS SYDNEY, May 28—Cannibalism is not yet extinct in the Pacific, says the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Solomon Islands, the Rt. Rev. Ludovico Maria Raucaz. After 25 years in those wild parts he has just returned from a visit to his native France. In an interview given here he referred to the won- derful strides that had been made in civilizing the fearsome Solomon natives, but he seemed to despair of the terrible tribesmen of Ma- laita. Malaita, he said, was still the stronghold of some of the most fe- rocious savages in the world. Can- nibalism was at one time rife throughout the group. “Trere is no cannibalism now, however?” the interviewer suggested. The reply was a typical French wave of the hands, a shrug of the shoulders. He recalled how fifteen police boys had been murdered last year. “Only thirteen bodies were ever found,” he said. “Of course, there is no proof, but The Solomons will never be the {country Fiji is, the bishop said, on account of malaria fever, which attacks natives and whites.

Rev. Willlam Brown, of the Union Theological Seminary, per- formed the ceremony, omitting the word “obey.” So quickly and quictly was the ceremony performed that it was 6:13 o'clock last night before the public knew the wedding had taken place. The only explanation then was the suddenness given in a telegram Edwin Mcllvaive, sister of dor Morrow: “Anne and Charles married very quietly this afternoon. Betty and I regret your absence but there scemed to be no other way after the sudden decision last night (Sunday.)” It was stated that the wedding was advanced on Miss Morrow’s request because she had become annoyed at publicity and insistence of reporters, curious for informa- tion. Wedding Informal The wedding was totally formal. The bride was dressed in a white chiffon dress. Col. Lindbergh was clad in a blue business suit, habitually worn. There was no best man, no bridal attendants. Ambassador Morrow gave the bride away. After the wedding the newlyweds left for an unannounced destina- tion.
