MYSTIC TEMPLE is
RA|DED BY POLICE
Native of India, a White Man,
DebauCheS Young W0-
men in New York.

New York. May st was a strange
story Detective Callahan told the po-
lice court today, in describing the raid
last night on the Mystic Temple Of
ON, young man who is entered on
the police records as Pierre a. Bernard,
a native of India.
"Om" was arraigned on the charge of
abduction, after the detectives had
found him in a lUXuriOusly appointed
house. where he taught physical Gull
lure and languages, surrounded by a
number OF pupils, mostly young women.
Some Of his girl pupils said Bernard
represented himself as a swami from
India
When L pushed open the parIor
doors" Callahan testified at the hear
ing today. Bernard was standing on a
glass globe that was on hair mat
tress in the center of the room He
was going through some peculiar gy-
ration Five girls and several men, all
in bathing suits, were gathered around
him, trying TO repeat the movements.
Miss Zela Hopp said she went 10 Ber-
narG's place last October and consulted
him about a method of curing her of
heart weakness. Bernard told her she
must come to the place and stay for a
time, which she did, first paying him,
she testified, a fee of 500.
Miss HOpp told the magistrate that
Bernard had a peculiar influence over
her and that she believed he had hyp-
Noticed her. She made grave charges
against Bernard. While She was in the
place she met Miss Gertrude Levy OF
Tacoma, Wash, another student and
when she got out she thought she
ought TO advise Miss Levy's sister, a
Mrs. Hanford of Tacoma, of what was
going on Her letters brought Mrs
HanfOrd to New York and the two
women complained TO the police.
Bernard was held in $4,000 bail

when that is the case. I have investi-
gated charges that the farmers have
combined to put up prices and rob the
community and have found they are not
true.
In the past the manufacturers asked
no questions as to the continued fer
tility of soil and no effort was made to
educate the farmer, while the education
of the farmers son, to leave the farm,
went on. Manufacturing will not sue
coed without an abundance of food {
reasonable prices, and now that the
farms in the east have fallen away
below the standard of prOductiveness.
the manufacturers are awakening to
the danger of the underproduction."
B. Y. Yoakum, chairman of the ex-
ecutive board of the Frisco system, was
the center of demonstration late this
afternoon at the conclusion of his ad-
dress on the subject of the high cost
of living and conservation. AS he con-
cluded, score OF more delegates
jumped to their feet and hurled ques-
lions at him.
Yoakum attempted to answer some
of the questions but could not make
himself heard Order was finally re-
stored. and the union officials apollo
giZed to Mr.. Yoakum.
Most of the questions directed at him
seemed 70 relate to the failure of the

The section prohibiting a railroad
charging n higher rate for a short
than for long haul was adopted by
the House in the form reported by the
committee on interstate commerce, but
with additional provision and re-
port to Congress by the Interstate
commission of the facts relative to the
long and short haul question
There is no section corresponding to
this in the bill as il is pending in the
Senate; but an amendment offered by
Senator Hepburn today to modify the
existing law similarly precipitated an
extended debate, which was in prog
ress when the Senate adjourned.
Strictly speaking, each house today
was boring holes in a separate bill

by Senator Elkins; the House in the
bill introduced by Representative
were Identical, though changed by the
committees that reported them
Each version OF the bill has yet TO

cies Of the other. Whether either win
ever emerge from the final stage Of

Mr.. EIl1ins explained that the ma

said he intended supporting the Clay
amendment. but explained that to get
