The Banyoro people are among the most curious races in the whole of equatorial Africa. They are | zenerally spoken of as the ‘“cow people,” for they are powerful clans- men whose wealth andreligion and |health is all intimately connected with the peaceful domestic cow. They have many strange customs and bellefs. It is considered a de- |gradation for Banyoro men to dig or till the soil, so mink and meat are their most staple forms of diet, A few days after we had entered Unyoro country, we noticed a imber of shrines in every direction, Our inquiries elicited the informa- tion they were ghost shrines, When |sickness comes to the Banyoro | people, they say that it is one of their enemic ie ghosts of thefr ancestors—who is attacking them, so they proceed to capture the evil spirit.

This important business safely ac- complished, the king returns to his royal palace and summons his chief queen—they have many queens fin their harem—and orders her to bring him a cup of powerful native poison with the same grand manner as he might use in asking for a bottle of milk, Then he drinks the contents of the polson cup at.a gulp, and in a few moments he is dead, When the reigning monarch s comfortably dead by his own act, the chief queen calls to the palace one or two of the cabinet ministers, It is their duty to prepare the royal corpse for burial. For as long & period of time as possible the death of the king is kept secret, Each day the royal milk and royal beet are brought to the palace as custom ordains, and official callers are in- formed that the king has a slight cold in the head and can receive no one, In the meantime, the cahinet ministers and the council of state are making private arrangements to guard the king's corpse and to pro- tect the sacred eattle during the | wars that are Inevitable when the king's death s known.

The charge that this government sought to extradite DeKay for po- litical activities was made at the ex- tradition hearing in London yester- day by James D. Cassels, DeKay's counsgl. Department of justice spokesmen viewed Cassels’ state- ments as a “form of defense and an effort on counsel’s part to delay the extradition.” v AUSTRALIAN TAX REDUCTION, | ‘ Melhourne, Australia, Oct. 4.— The federal parliament has adopted la bill providing for a general re- duction of 10 per cent in common- | wealth income taxes.
