'OMNIPOTENT DOM
HELD ON BIC BAIL.
Hiuh Priest of Tantrik Order Ac-
Cused of Statutory 0ffenSe
by Young Woman
TELLS AN AMAZING STORY
Before Becoming Dupe Girl Pune
tured Hand and Wrote Name
in Her Blood in Book

Associated Press1

NEW YORK, May 7.-"Oom the Om-
nipotent." alias Peter Coon, alias Pierre
Barnard, high priest of the Tantrik
Order of worship, was held in $4,000
bonds today for trial in the court OF
general sessions, on a statutory charge
made by one of his dupes.
Il find that the charge has been fully
sustained" said Magistrate Breen to-
day at the preliminary hearing. This
girl, Gertrude Leo of Seattle, one of
the two complainants, has been in
weighed into a den of iniquity. L shall
not reduce the bail fixed when L first
read the complaint and before the tes-
timOny showed the dangerous character
of this man and his practices"
The testimony of Miss Leo today
went into details which made the girls
sister Mrs. Edward H. Miller, who in
troduced her to Dom in good faith, be-
lfeying that he could restore her health,
weep as she listened. During the cross
examination she made a motion as IL
to hurl glass of water at the head of
counsel for the defense. Court attend
ants led her from the room, and she
apologized when she re-entered.
Miss Leo testified that she first met
Dom in Seattle on January p, 1909,
and that he induced her to come, east
with him by promises to give her free
treatment and q musical education In
return for her services as his stenog-
rapher. She understood that she would
live with her sister.
In point of fact, when she came to
New York she was placed in a fiat
with two woman inmates of the Tan
trik order, one of whom was known by
one of Oom's aliases.
ASKS HER TO BE NAUTCH GIRL
n
Leo testified Dom, told her. II am
god. hut I have condescended to put on
the habit of a man that 1 may perform
the duties of a yogi and reveal true
religion to the elect of America

Nautch girls. In my sacred capacity
7 cannot marry, but our Natuch girls
serve us as wives. 1t is the duty OF
the priest to give her all the world
best goods. She Is looked upon as
sacred"
Gertrude consented to become sa-
cred Nautch girl she testified. She
iabbbcd a steel pen into the palm OF
her left hand, and wrote her name In
blood on the roster of the order.
Il both feared and loved him. she
sWore today. "He made me believe
he could communicate with priests all
over the world, who would sit in coun-
Gil at his complaint and take away my
mind if I did not obey him. l COM
plained, but l submitted"
The girl described the rites Of the
order which were based. she said, on
sex worship as they were practiced
in the large room where, on the night
of the raid, the police found a class
of men and women.
The complaint of Zella Hopp the
other complainant, was practically the
Further testimony was that the Or

spread in America, and that the inter
national journal of the order has sew

zine were found in the house when it
was raided.

the suffragettes their hardest knock.
Mr.. Tsuchiyama had been looking into
the governmental affairs of Colorado,
where women vote, and he had found
there many things which didn't please
him After telling the honorable
judges about it he said
I'm political affairs women are
dreamers, but not doers. Women do
not change politics. Politics changes
women. In the states where women
vote social conditions are not improv-
ing. but in the other states they are.
Not many women want to vote. Only
5 per cent of women want the ignorant
suffrage"
NJ. Miyasaki, for the affirmative, and
7. Takemura. for the negative, had
their say and then the judges retired
to figure out the verdict, with the re-
suit already stated.

common law is based on the old Roman
law, which regarded woman as a
slave, declared that privileges had come
to women slowly and added that the
next great privilege due her is the bal
lot.
THE United States" he said, needs
the votes of women. 1t will make
woman stronger, it will increase mans
respect for her and it will make her
better able to bring up her children
Democracy means equal opportunity
and If woman does the same work as
men why should she not have the same
privileges?"

Minerva, who was overgrown and fully
six years older than the rest OF her class
mates, would always drawl out:
1.-The clock was slow, teacher.
Finally the teacher asked that the clock
be brought to school so that il might be

The next day Minerva came late, as

Teacher had been home i'll for several
weeks. In fact. when she returned to her
school her appetite was still tickle. Lunch
hour arrived. She had been heard to say
that she did not care for anything to
eat, as even the lightest food seemed
heavy.
A little girl. Sophia. whose devotion to
Miss T. always drew her near teacher,
had heard of Miss It's poor appetite. Be-
ing distressed she ran home to her mother
to ask for something good for dear
teacher.
Such a poor delicate laoy-she would
fix something tempting and nice.
When ..e child returned to the school
she beamed with happiness over the nice
luncheon she had brought. In her basket
was nearly a loaf of bread sliced gen.

dozen ..iick slices Of bologna. jar of

Sophia was not the only loyal subject
of the teacher in that school. Jack,
whose freckled face beamed in the midst
of a bush of red hair, was always ready
to serve Miss T. The boy had come into
the class with rather a bad name, but
teacher had allowed him to pay her such
attention that there was no longer time
for the plotting of mischief Jack watched
teachers every move. He saw that her
old feather buster was about worn out.
He inquired if chicken feathers tied to-

was told they would.
That evening was q busy one for Jack
The next morning he appeared with his
present-a great bunch of strong chicken
feathers bound together with a strip Of
his pink shirt-waist material
Miss 7. complimerted the boy upon his
skill. With a pleased face Jack accepted
teachers praise and then, as though to
gain greater appreciation. he exclaimed:
But you oughter heard, them chickens

In another section OF the city the class
was energetically studying the islands of
Japan. Some compositions which had
been written were read. Viola expressed
herself in the following manner:
The people Of Japan are very educated
even the mountain tops are cultivated"
In the seventh grade the class was deep
in the study OF the Constitution of the
United States. The clause OF the frame
work of the government relating to the
members composing the houses OF Con-
