leila Hopp. a milliner. nineteen years
old; Gertrude Lee, recently Of Tacoma.

which led 10 the raid on the House

and his pupils" Miss Hopp said that
Bernard got women to undergo the
treatment after he had diagnosed
their cases as heart trouble. He got,
she testified. a preliminary fee OF 800

hurried to New York and made com

These women accompanied Detec-
tive Callahan and Captain Thompson
on the raid and worked the secret sig

The lower floor was deserted. but
weird chanting was heard from up-
stairs. Captain Thompson and his
me- hustled up the steps. and in
room on the second floor they found

suits. and eight elderly men. The men
were on their launches around a rug
in the middle of the floor. upon which
the girls were dancing under the di-
| rection OF Bernard, who was attired in
long robe and was standing on a
glass ball on the rug.
What means this intrusion?" de-
manded Bernard as the policemen en-
