THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, AUGUST 7, 1927—PART Americans Are Stealthily Poisoned by the Dog-Men of Brazil How three white men were ma- rooned among hostile Indians,whose | poison darts caused death in 10 seconds, was related by Mr. Mac- Creagh last week. Their posses sion of a “calling-stick,” carved to indicate the standing and record of the bearer, and their knowledge of the complicated ceremony of making a call on a chief, gave them hospitality and enabled them to win the friendship of their sav- age hosts In the following article, the final one of four, Mr. MacCreagh de- scribes a ceremony never before witnessed by white men, and ex- plains why the expedition came to a sudden and unforeseen end | BY GORDON MacCREAGH. i HAD heard of caapi, that makes men brave. { been reported by explorers far back as Koch and Gruenbe But it was always a rumor. had scen this caapi ce then, the thrill of learnin that here were these Ti e people practicing the rite in the most remote and hidden of their villages But how to witness this very seerot | thing?

So there, among the six, is the devil | in person, circulating among the danc- ers, Here comes the ordeal, the cru- clal proof of courage. Suddenly one of the dancers, nerving himself to the | utmost, rushes to the side line and | takes a deep draft of caapi from one { of the ever-ready cup-bearers, and so, | stimulated to the highest pitch of his | courage, rushes back and taps one of | the six on the shoulder—for all he | knows, the devil himsel’. This is the challenge. Instantly the | rest, never ceasing their weave and | stamp, open out and leave a space with the two dim figures, the chal- lenger and the challenged, in the mid. dle. One positively creeps with the | | tenseness of the moment. L A HE it is observed for the first time that the Jurupary man car- ries, in addition to his horn, a long | Whip. A terrible thing made of some kind of vine, with a tapering lash like that of a coach whip. Without more ado the challenger {lifts his arms above his head and stands so, naked and unprotected. The Jurupary man takes aim with his | whip, measuring the stroke and the distance to the man's naked walst; and then, with all his strength— ss-swish! Even in the dark one can see the immediate welt where the lash has curled around the man's body. But | never a groan, Never a wince from | the still figure. Instantly the boom- ing horns crash out with a renewed vigor, The man has passed. The devil himself has tried to wrest a sign of fear or pain from him and has failed. In the surrounding dark one hears murmurs of approbation, Immediately follows the most ex- | traordinary change-about. The devil, having failed to break his man, must now take his turn. Without a word he hands the terrible whip to the man {and in turn lifts his arms. Where- upon the man braces his feet and takes a careful measurement—and he surely tries to wrest a groan from the devil, Truly an extraordinary ordeal. And | queerest of has passed, out of the darkness where another warrior takes the ordeal of his courage comes another swish. And presently another and another. -And 80 on, far into the night. Ever the booming rhythm of the Jurupary horns, and ever and anon the terrible swish of the whips. The uncanny night wears on till all the men who have lasted so far have taken the test. Some of them, out of sheer bravado, twice or even three Umes. Dresently one is aware that the Jurupary men have disappeared |the way they came, without warning, taking their terrible horns and their more terrible whips with them. The incessant hooming dies away in the distance. The Jurupary, discom- fited at not finding a weakling among all the young men of the tribe, has retired into jungle. * ok Kk X UT one phase of the ceremony stands out as stark magic. Some 90 young men underwent the ordeal against 6 Jurupary men, Of the 90, cach had received at least one lash: wome two or thtree; and each had re- turned his awful cuts to one of the slx. Why were those six not dead? Surely some magic is known to those ipages! And surely is this devil- balting rite, with the help of the drink that makes brave men, one of the all queer savage cere monies! We feel that we have been privi- leged to see what no other white man has seen. Later we went still farther into the unknown to see the Chima, or Cihu- ma, the men who follow a trail by scent like the other animals. So we came to the inevitable accident that is predicted for any explorer who re- mains long enough in the jungles. We went up, Young America and 1, | beyond the Cururu, with just two of our faithful bad Indians,” We went in ~ canoe, leaving our cozy yacht below the rapids. We found an en- campment of nomad semi-apes mak- ing a crude fish trap. A squat, misshapen gang they were, with large bellies and thin limbs and low, gorillold foreheads and prognath- ous jaws. I weep that we were not his blackest dens of the | | what by all the miracles, they did seem to be able to smell qut what only a dog might be expected to find by scent. Our men made friendly signs to them, and so they didn’t run away, but sat around in a listlessly sullen man- ner, apparentity taking no interest in us or in our doings. Ixcept that, like dogs, they nosed about our fire and our cook pots. Our men contrived to make them understand that I would give a pres. ent of fish hooks to any could find a well used khakl shirt that we would hide in the bushes. At that they grinned their first pleas ant look. We tried to make a r test of it by hiding the thing where we were not observe: They went through the motions of sniffing the air. Standing on tiptoe, they wet their noses and quested with lifted heads for the upper currents. Then they bent low and quartered the ground. In less than 30 seconds they were heading in the right direction, pulling aside bushes and scratching up the under scrub. In less than a minpute one of them cackled loudly to the pack, plunged forward on a true scent, and found the shirt, which we had stuffed into a crevice in a tree. Then, with simian suspicion, he scuttled off with the find, chattering. evidently preferring to be sure of he had in hand rather than trust to the white man's promise of payment in fishhooks. A single test like that would tell us nothing. I was planning a series of these most interesting tests, hoping by elimination of trickery to arrive at some definite conclusion. But then the catastrophe befell, and we had to leave it all suddenly and swiftly be- hind. V ate our supper that night—or, rather, I did. Young America was having his spell of malaria, the luckiest sickness of his life, so he didn’t eat any of that pot around which those Cihuma dog men had been sniffing so busily.

The Feder: vernment neither regulates nor confers under any cir cumstances the cnjoyment of the elective franchise among the States, and therefore the question so flip- pantly asked, when we propose the liberation of slaves, ‘Are you going to give them the right to vote? may as well be omitted here. We have just nothing to do in our leglslation with that question; we have no power what- ever over it. The right to vote does not involve the right to citizenship. Neither are the rights of men or citi- zens to protection under the law de pendent upon the right of suffrage in them.” Tepresentative Alhert G. Ohio, for the bill, said “Slav coming to us out of the barbarism and old dead night of the past, with no good in it, bringing no good with it, and allled to no good about it; grow. ing day by day more abhorrent and and must be consumed by the light and heat of our Christian civilization. It need not be urged as a palliation or offset that the condi- tion of the slave {s more elevated than that of his ancestors or brethren in Africa. That, if true, was neither in- tended nor desired by the master. Tt is in opposition to his wish and in spite of his most persistent efforts to the contrary.” Representative Samuel G, of Maine, for the bill, said: siege of Lucknow, the famished, depairing prisoner laid his ear to the ground, and as he heard the heavy framp, precursor of the approach of the army of deliverance, sprang to his Fessenden ' of the District.
