HANISH IS HELD
BY FEDERAL JURY
Charges of Perjury Against
Disciples and Nine Deaths
Being Investigated.
BILL NAMES % COUNTS
Government Strikes Blow With View
to Ending Form of Sun Wor-
ship in This Country.

Chicago, March 20.-The federal
grand jury yesterday struck a blow
at Hanishism, which is calculated to
extirpate permanently that form of
sun worship from this country.
Two indictments charging the vio-
lation of the criminal statutes on %
different counts were returned
against Ottoman Zar-Adusht Hanish,
the head of the cult. More indict-
ments, it was stated, are to follow.
Some of these, it was said, will hit
Hanish's followers, who are accused
of perjury to shield "the master"
Both indictments of Hanish are
based upon the book, Timer Studies

or the sun worshippers temple on
the south side. 1t is asserted this
book contains improper subjects and
ping it out of the state and in sending
through the mails other printed mat
ter carrying advertisements for the
book.
INVESTIGATE DEATHS.
The grand jury resumed its inves-
legations as soon as the true bills
were returned. 1t is understood it
is considering the whole of the cult
leaders past history and that this en-
braces the circumstances of the
deaths of at least nine of Hanish' s
followers. Death by suicide, insan-
ity, or the destruction of their clos
est family ties has been the fate of
number of persons who have fol-
lowed Hanish's teaching.
Only a short time before the in
dictments were returned Hanish,
through his attorney, A S. Robertson,
had attempted to quash the search
warrant under which the MazdaznaD
temple was raided several weeks ago
/ by state court authorities. Attorney
Robertson argued before Municipal
Judge Goodnow that the affidavit or
which the search warrant was issued
/ failed to make statements of fact:
sufficient TO Justify the arrest. The
I case was continued until March %
