IN BREAKING UP CALIFORNIA
INSTITUTION COURTS
CALLED UPON.

New York. Nov. 12.-Through the
combined resources OF the New York
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children and its kindred organiza-
ton in San Francisco, every effort is to
be made to wipe out OF existence the
Universal Brotherhood and Raja ioga
School OF Katherine c. Tingley at
Point Iona, Cal. This action was de-
termined upon at a meeting of the
executive board of the New York So
ciety held Tuesday night.
Out of the garrisoned grounds of the
Brotherhood. where all the sun wor-
shippers" conduct their affairs In the
utmost secrecy. from the quiet pre-
cincts of the Temple of Isis" where
only the members OF the Inner set"
are permitted to enter, there has come
the knowledge of the treatment OF the
youthful pupils of both sexes In the
Raja Yoga School.
The children given by their parents
to Mrs. Tingley's care for education
and moral guidance are given sleeping
quarters in tents. Twenty of them.
boys and girls. are huddled together
on a bunk. and then thus huddled to-
gether a girl OF IA years visits each
OF the children and ties his or her
hands together and then fastens them
about the neck. Such is the story told
by grandmother whose daughter Is
now with Mrs. Tingley. crazed or hyp-
Noticed. the grandmother believes. and
who rescued her grandchild through
habeas corpus proceedings In the SUI
preme Court OF California.
Judge-elect Vernon NJ. Davis as pres
ident and Elbrldge T. Gerry as counsel
to the society, received unlimited pow
er through the resolutions that were
adopted to take such steIS and meas
ures as they might deem necessary to
accomplish the breaking up OF the
brotherhood and to work in conjunc-
tion with the sister society In San
Francisco. II necessary the aid of both
Federal and State laws will be invok-
ed.
Both President Davis and Mr.. Gerry
are appalled, at the revelations that are
being made to them, and are deter
mined to leave no stone Unturned TO
terminate the existence OF the Uniyer-
sal Brotherhood and Philosophical So
: ciety.
Copies OF the testimony that was
given before the special board OF In
quiry In the case Of the eleven chill

of the society will go TO San Francisco
to assist in the work, and Commodore

II is realized here that Mrs. Tingley
with the assistance of Frank Pierce
and Z. August Neresheimer, will do al
she can to prevent the accomplishment
of the society's efforts and prevent II
