By the Associated Press. i RIO DE JANEIRO, April 1—Fur-| ther light on the links of modern eivil- ization with the mysterious Matto Gross of inner Brazil was shed yes- terday in a report by Christian Lamarche, American scientist, who said he believed many white men were living among the Indians there. Lamarche has just arrived here enroute to New York after several months spent in exploring the vast plateau of Matto Grosso, with head- quarters at Goyaz, capital of the Brazillan State of Goyaz. Lamarche said that in January he had met Paraguayan hunters near the headquarters of the Tapajos, who had told him they had several times met white men among the Indians. Think Whites Bring Good Luck. Lamarche said he believed one of the | white men might have been Col. P. H. | Fawcett, the British explorer who| vanished in the Matto Grosso seven | years ago. Stephan Rattin, a Swiss trapper, recently arrived with a story he had met Fawcett in the interior as & hostage held by the Indians. The Paraguayan hunters told La- marche the Indians consider white men as bringers of good luck. Such hostages are Fiven a comfortable liv- ing by the Indians but risk death from their adopted or a rival tribe, if they attempt an escape. Not Forcibly Detained. It was pointed out here that the man Rattin sald he saw was not forcibly detained, and that he might have been one of these hostages. Lamarche sald most of the white men living with remote Indian tribes on the inner tributaries of the Amazon were elther tired of civilization or had taken refuge there rather than pay some penalty imposed by civilization. — Runs Matrimonial Agency.
