POINT Iona INSTITUTION
MRS. KATHERINE TlNGLEY THE

She Is Suing Los Angeles Times.
Mirror For Damages-Former Book
keepers Evidence in the Case Ex-
plains the Inner Workings of the
Institution.

San Diego, Cal.-The formal eyi.
dence turned to what purports to be
remarkable revelation of the inner
workings of the theosophical institu.
ton at Point Iona at recent session
of the pending trial of an action for
libel in which Mrs. Katherine Ting.
ley, head of the Universal Brother
hood, is plaintiff, against the Times.
Mirror company of Los Angeles, de-
PENDANT. This evidence is in the form
of disposition made by Louis S.
Fitch of 200 Bond street, Hartford,
Conn. According to the deponent, who
says he was employed as a bookkeep-
er by the Universal Brotherhood, of
which he became a member and had
privileges accorded to few, a dog be-
longing to Mrs. Tingley was supposed
to have inherited the spirit of the
movement; that Mrs. Tingley was re-
garded as prophet in line of success
sion, including Buddha, Christ and
Mahomet, and that she had told de-
ponent that marriage relations as
known to the world, in her belief,
were wholly perverted, and that the
people who lived the life at Point
Iona would evolve so as to reach a
stage where marriage would not be
necessary.
In his disposition Mr.. Fitch said
that he is 80 years of age; that he
went to Point Iona to live about
the LIST of August, 1900, and that he
remained there until the LIST of March,
1901; that he went there as a book
keeper for the Universal Brotherhood
organization. He said the pledge of
the esoteric society Of theosophy was
very binding, all members taking
oath to obey the leaders in all things,
the leader being Mrs. Tingley. Mrs.
Tingley had absolute control over
everything and everybody, and she ex-
She regulated where every member
should lodge, what they should eat
and where they should eat it, whom
they should have conversation with,
whom they should walk or talk with
and whom they must not speak to
or look at.
The fare consisted of breakfast of
one or two slices of very hard, unbut-
tered toast and portion of cup of
coffee, without milk or sugar, and
one cased egg. On leaving the dining
room after breakfast each member
took from a tray four small crackers
and what else they might have con-
cealed, which was all they had until
the evening meal, which was fairly
substantial. All the eating was
done in absolute silence, no member
being allowed to speak to another
while going to or from meals, or
while at meals, by the express order
Of Mrs. Tingley.

ALM|RAS DOUBLE MURDER
JUDGE ]. A. LEWIS AND WIFE MET
DEATH.
Robbers Beat the Life from Their
Bodies With Club and An Ax--Mr.
Lewis Was a Pioneer of the Big
Bend country-owned Two Sections
of Land

Almira, Wash,-Judge ]. A. Lewis, a
pioneer rs years old, and his aged
wife were murdered in coolest blood
by unknown robbers who, after
struggle, Drained the old man with an
AK and then murdered the wife by
beating her to death with a club.
The double murder was as coolly
planned as it could possibly be, and
the object was doubtless robbery, as
the Judge was worth $4,000 or 5000,
and was supposed to have money in
the safe which he kept at his coun-
try home, five miles southeast of here.
The theory is that the terrible
crime was committed by some visitor
who came on the guise of doing bust
ness, as the safe was found open, and
had evidently been unlocked by Mrs.
Lewis, as she alone was able to work
the combination. The hand of the
aged judge, palsied with age, was una
BILE to turn the tumblers successfully.
The crime was discovered by o. j.
Williams, a tenant of the judges, who
found the judges body.
The job was evidently planned with
the utmost care, for the back door had
been barricaded by table and two
chairs piled against it. Lying on the
floor was bloody ak. The Judge had
been pounded to death with the blunt
side Of it. Evidently after completing
the search the robbers went out the
front door, locked it behind them and
disappeared.
Before leaving, however, the rob-
bers went to the corral, where Mrs.
Lewis had been milking the cows, and
waylaid her with a club. There was
evidence Of fearful struggle, but at
last the poor old woman was beaten
lifeless and her body was buried I'M
der a heap of hay and snow in the
center of the corral. Her body form
ed the little mound which Williams
saw on Saturday.
Judge Lewis was a pioneer of the
Big Bend, and was formerly probate
judge here. He owned two sections of
land. There are no children. DR..
Lewis of Wilbur is a brother Of the
dead Judge.

STATUS Of VENEZUELA CASES
THE POWERS WANT PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT TO ARRITRATE
He Suggested that the Case Be Sub.
mitted to the Hague Tribunal As
the United States Also Has Claims
Against venezueIa-Peaceful Set
Element Will Be the Outcome.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The status
of the Venezuelan arbitration negoti
atoms at the close of the official day
as disclosed at the state department
was that the powers were waiting fol
an answer from the president to the
proposal that he himself undertake tC
arbitrate the difficulty. The presi
dents answer can only be guessed at
for the officials decline to express any
opinion Of their own. However, il
is believed to be safe prediction
that he will renew his suggestion
that the case be submitted to The
Hague tribunal, adding to the argu
ment he has already produced the
fact that the United States, having
claim against Venezuela to the
amount of about 100000, is a party
in interest, and it would be unfair to
put the president in the position Of
having to arbitrate his own claim.
For their part, the powers bring
against The Hague proposition the ar
gument that President Castro would
feel lightly bound by any decision by
that tribunal, but would be certain
to heed judgment rendered by Pres
ident Roosevelt.
1t is said at the state department
that, no matter how these two propo
sitions are disposed of, there will be
no backward step and that an agree
ment of some kind which will bring
about peaceable settlement of the
Venezuelan troubles will result from
the present negotiations. OF course
if President Roosevelt should accept
the charge, which he would only dc
as a last resort, it is understood thai
the actual burdens of arbitrating the
claims would not be undertaken by
him personally, but probably would
be, as is customary in such cases
confided to one Of the efficient ant
trained secretaries of the department

The foreign Office says the blockade
of the Venezuelan coast will not be
relaxed until the powers agree on
a method for the arbitration of their
respective cases and Venezuela
shows a disposition to act sincerely.
Stress is laid on the difficulty in
view of the diversity of the claims in
deciding on a method of presentation
and on the perplexity of the negotia-
tions which will be involved before a
settlement is in sight. 1t is not def
nitely decided whether separate
cases can be embodied in one docu-
ment, should the projected arbitra-
ton take definite shape.
