SEE FOUND GUILTY
 IF ABDUCTING GIRL
cHICAGo'S ABSOLUTE LIFE" CULT LEADER IS CONVICTED
 AND FACES PRISON.
CONDUCTED A LOVE JUNGLE
Strange congIomeration of Teachings of So-CaIIed Religious Cult In Which Women Disciples of the Apostle Became Entansled.

Chicago.-Evelyn Arthur See, re- vealcr of the absolute life," who was convicted by jury in Judge Honores court on a charge of abducting Mil dred Bridges, one of his girl disciples. was released on $5,000 bail pending the hearing of motion for an appeal The penalty for the crime which the head of the Racine avenue love jun gle" was convicted is an indetermi nate term in the state penitentiary of from one to ten years.
 Evelyn Arthur See was arrested in his temple" on Racine avenue Janu ary s, 1911, on complaint of Stephen H. Bridges, who charged the abduc- tion of his daughter Mildred. Bridges had at one time been a follower of See and had been made president of the cult in return, it was asserted, for his financial support Mrs. Bridges also was a member of the cult and at the trial she took the stand in Sees defense
 While the state was Investigating the case the federal authorities also took up the quest to ascertain if there had been any violation of the white slave" act. Sees wife sued him last March for separate maintenance. The Sees had been separated for years Following the filing of this suit the safe in the temple" was opened and the "revealer's' book and papers, in cluding the manuscript of the Book of Truth" were seized.
 Some parts of the Book of Truth" have been published. Other parts, not published but taught to the woman and girl inmates of the love jungle, have been seized by the United States government and form the basis of prosecution against See in the federal courts. The federal authorities say the matter is unfit to send through the mails.
 Sees counsel hoped for acquittal largely on the testimony of four wom en Mildred Bridges and Mona Rees, high priestess" of the cult, testified there had been no wrong at the See apartments on Racine avenue, and Mrs. Rees and Mrs. Bridges took the stand and accepted responsibility for some of the declarations in the Book of Truth"
 During the trial, which dragged along through several weeks and cost the state $1O,000, a strange conglom- eration of documents was offered as

Supt. Davidson Will
Decide for Teachers

Following complaints that number
of special teachers exceed their au-
thortty. and do not perform duties as
signed them. Superintendent Davidson
Will define the exact status of the l2e
instructors employed under this head
ing. This will mark the settlement OF
long standing feud between the grade
teachers and instructors In special sub
jects, such as drawing, music, and
physical culture.
Grade teachers charge that the special
teachers come into their class rooms,
and merely watch their subjects taught
instead of giving the lessons. It Is
claimed the functions of these special
not merely to direct lessons.
The question was raised on the salary
issue, since the complaining teacher &
insist only one director Is to be employ
ed for each subject. This attitude Was s
sustained by school officials, including
the directors.
my teachers go into the school
rooms and take over the classes" said
Miss Alys Bentley. director Of music.
Il believe that in certain other special
subjects it has been found advisable to
allow the regular teachers to conduct
the classes. because of their closer ac-
quaintance with pupils"
Il believe this question is one for
the superintendent to decide" declared
DR.. Davidson, land I will look into the
matter as soon as 1t comes up to me. /
have so far taken no cognizance Of
how these special teachers do their
work, supposfng 1t had already been
