For this reason they now refuse to empha- size their hostility to the eighteenth amendment. “1f all of the clergy who went on record against prohibition before it be- came law and who. there is reason 1o think, have not changed their views, had answered our last questionnaire, the poll against prohibition would have been very much heavier.” In the report are printed copies of mearly 300 letters which were sent by clergymen. with their answers to the Questionneire PHONE RECEIVERS TAKEN BY THIEVES r Watches and Small Sums of Money Also Stolen.

The notices sent o the press of this capital by the French military ex-ser- geant, Courteville, are totally unfounded as that tourist followed a route very far from the region where Col. Fawcett was pursuing his expedition. Courte- ville journeyed in a straight line from he city of Tres Lagoas to Cuyaba traveling on_excellent roadways near the Garimpeiras zones which well populated, while Pawcett, 2s stated |above. went to the northeasterly re- gion. into the heart of the country, via | the city of Diamantina Organize Expedition. | As the interest among explorers and the greographical socleties of the world in the fate of Col.

On the eve of his departure Comdr. Dvott called for youthful volunteers willing to go with him to the wilder- ness of Brazil to search for the Fawcett party. The commander was over- whelmed with volunteers, receiving of- fers from 15,000 persons. Of the num- ber considered he selected the follow- ing men William Demello, New Bedford, Mass a5 the wireless expert Samuel K. Martin, Chicago, for pho- tographic work W. Gerard Martin, jr. Bt.
