STRANGE SECT IN INDIA
NOT HARSHLY TREATED
Report After Inquiry Reveals Wild
Practices in Jagatsi Asram
Settlement.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

roTelSn Correspondence OF The Star.
CALCUTTA, June 1, 1913.
For some months the Bengali news
apers have been bemoaning the harsh
| treatment by the Assam police of sect
| which had formed a settlement known
as the Jagats Asram. 1t was to avenge
the wrongs of the Asram that the bomb
outrage at Maulvi Bazaar was planned
The aim of the youth who blew himself
to pieces was to murder Mr. Gordon and
Mr.. Honniker, the officers who were re-
sponsible for the dispersal of the Asram.
In view of the charges brought against
the police, the Assam government ordered
an inquiry and the police are indicated.
The report just issued and the resolution
based upon it are documents of great
interest to the student Of religious
psychology. and illustrate the difficulties
with which British rule has to contend
1t is clear that the Asram belongs to
the class of morbid religious bodies which
have arisen from time to time in Eu-
rope and America. and have combined re-
ligious fervor with erotic orgies.
Founder of the Sect.
The founder of the sect was on Gu
rudas Chaudhuri. formerly a clerk in the
employment of local board. Styling
himself Dayananda Swami. he gathered
about him number of men and women
and established what he called re-
formed Hinduism. One Of his beliefs was
the virtue of continuous worship, and
the inmates of the Asram were grouped
in three shifts, so that "puja'' might be
rendered to the idol throughout the
twenty-four hours Dances by men and
al h,It 1fa
formed another important branch of the
religious activities Of the Asram And
finally the swami ordained and practced
an alteration Of nude maidens, who were
represented as incarnations of Kali.
The Assam government received many
complaints of the immoral rites of the
Asram and many requests for its sup
preston.
1t having been alleged that he had kid
naped boy named Saehindra, the
swami was ordered to produce him be-
fore the subdvisional officer This he
declined to do, informing the police Of
fcer sent to serve the warrant that, if
he removed Saehindra he would leave
his head in the asram.
Fanatics Offer Resistance.
When Assistant Supt. of Police Beau
mont and twenty constables went to
execute the warrant the fanatics of
Asram offered resistance and the con-
stables bolted. Eventually, a force Of
military police was sent, and, after fur
Their efforts at a peaceful settlement of
the affairs had failed, these entered the
asram and arrested the swami and his
followers. many Of whom appeared to be
under the influence of ganja. The lead
were subsequently tried and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment.
t.l
Of having handled the Asram people
brutality and Sir Archdale Earle ordered
an inquiry, which has disproved the
charges.

WAS 1T A TORNADO?
California Storm Has Earmarks of
Kansas Twister.

B Redding, CAL, June 6.-An intense
but purely local tornado snapped off
a mile and half of telegraph poles
three miles south of here late yester-
day, uprooted fruit trees, scattered
haycocks, shattered window panes
and unroofed many lightly built
barns and sheds.
Such clouds of flying sand and
even sizable gravel followed the fun
nel-shaped cloud that the northbound
Shasta Limited, which was lashed by
the tail of the storm, had to slow
down because the engineers cab was
filled with dust and he could not see
ahead
A heavy downpour of rain sue
ceeded the wind, securing the gulch-
es until they were impossible for
teams, yet at Redding itself there
was not drop of rain and scarcely
gust of wind. Telephone and tele-
graph poles on one side of the rail-
road were moved down, while those
on the other side were untouched.
IF the storm south of Redding
last night was true tornado" said
Professor Alexander McAdie, of the
weather bureau, when he was ac-
quainted with the details, "it is the
first one l have ever heard of in
California.
However, l shall want my own
reports on the full phenomena before
| am willing to admit that this was
the first California tornado report
ed"

PRESBYTERIAN Church.

The Children's Day exercises at
the Presbyterian church yesterday
were great success. The church
was beautifully decorated with red
and white roses, while from differ
ent parts of the building poured
forth the songs of birds. Long be-
fore the hour the church was filled.
Promptly at II a. m. the Sunday
school orchestra played a selection
as the scholars marched from their
rooms to the large platform. The
exercises consisted of recitations,
drills and various musical combina-
tions from the solos to the combined
choirs of a hundred voices with or
chestra. A large offering was given
to the cause of planting new Sunday
schools in southwestern Oregon. An
amusing incident occurred when the
pastor was called on for his address.
He asked the boys and girls what the
church needed the most, and some
boy of years yelled out Paint"
And when it was explained that the
church had new rule to do no work
that would involve any debt, and
that there was no money for paint
another youngster arose and moved
that we raise the money right now.
Three others seconded the motion
and a vote was taken among the pri-
mary scholars, and the almost deaf
ening vote was unanimous for doing
away with the speech and Immediate
ly raising the money for the painting
of the church. In just five minutes
the amount was raised, and the paint
ing will begin this week. The school
was then told that the annual picnic
would be held on Tuesday several
miles southeast of the city, unless
the weather prevented. Tickets for
a free ride were given out, and the
exercises concluded with a stirring
song,

FIELD MICE IN FRANCE.
At Times They overrun and Complete

~ tuSo IUoy ONCTTuH anu OotIiPiOkOe
ly Devastate Whole Cantons.
The average loss inflicted annually
by field mice upon the cultivators Of
France is estimated at 100000 francs
about 100000. From time to time,
however, there is an enormous increase
In the number of these pests and in
the txtent of their ravages.
France has experienced about d0z-
en- serious invasions by field mice since
the beginning of the nineteenth Gen.
tury. The most disastrous was that
which occurred from the summer of
1901 to the end of the autumn Of 1902.
On that occasion three departments
were absolutely devastated. AS an IL
lustration of the prodigious numbers
in which these animals appear it may
be stated that, during the outbreak Of
1922 in Alsace, within single fort
night 100000 were slaughtered In one
canton-the French equivalent of a
township-5O0,OOO in another and 272,-
600 in another.
hC SuuuCh appearance VI tncSe dLll-
mails in such numbers is not due to q
rapid migration, but simply to the as
tonishing rapidity with which they mul-
tply when the weather happens to be
favorable to their preservation. On
der such conditions a field containing
$50 animals-the females are about
twice as numerous as the males-at
the end of winter would have more
than 10000 in September.
There are many ways Of fighting the
pests, including the use of various pol
sons, and asphyxiation Of the animals
in their burrows by means of noxious
vapors, but the plan recommended by
the French government is to spread a
contagious disease among them by CIV
ing bacterial preparation.

HORSES AND HARNESS.
A Plea Fer Lishtness and Simplicity
in the Trappinas.

A Plea For Lishtness and Simplicity
In the Trappings.
From many fragments Of the archi-
lecture Of the early ages and first al
lusions to the horse as domesticated
animal it is obvious that nothing su-
perfluous In the way of saddlery and
harness was employed, and on Grecian
bas-reliefs and friezes horses are rep
resented as being ridden without bit,
bride, saddle or stirrups, the animals
being trained to obey the indications
Of the hand and leg, while the attach
ments for draft to the chariots used in
war and sport were of the simplest
character. AS time went on, however,
superfuous and injurious portions of
harness were introduced, the weight
Of leather and metal furniture in
creased, and more attention was paid
to appearance than utility,
This has continued down to the pres
ent times, and, in spite of the protests
Of those who have made the welfare
Of the horse a speciality and the ex-
ample Of few enlightened owners
who have realized the advantage of
lightness and simplicity in harness,
there still persists the idea that GER
tain portions, such as the bearing and
hame rein and the winker bride, even
If unnecessary and useless, give the
horse more furnished appearance
and, when dispensed with, naked
look. In other terms, fashion or GUS
tom outweighs consideration for the
comfort, well being and effective work
ing Of the horse.-Animafs Friend.

Divorced Husband of Dakota
Woman Under Arrest.
In ROLE OF FARMLAND
Visits Home Of Former Spouse After
Twelve Years Separation and Kills
ably Mortaliy Wounding Husband.

Ray, N. d., Oct. 24.-Pititul calls
for help, so feeble that they were
scarcely audible as far as the road,
attracted H. ii. Drake when he passed
the farmyard OF his neighbor, ID. r..
Dillon. He found Dillon near the
barn lying probably mortally wound
ed by rifle bullets.
The dead body of Mrs. Dillon was
near and in a bedroom of the house
another murder was revealed in the
finding of Dillons twelve-year-old
daughter Leila.
The murderer, it is alleged, was G..
l.. Culbertson, divorced husband OF
Mrs. Dillon. He was arrested at lem.
pie, near here, on a train, an hour
after he left this city soon after the
shooting.
Cuibertson, IL is alleged, called at
the Dillon home, where he had been
directed by a neighbor and asked for
work. Mrs. Dillon recognized him as
the man from whom she parted twelve
years ago, but she dared not reveal
to her husband the mans identity.
The new farmland had supper with
the family and Immediately artsrwarC
went with Dillon to the barn to help
with the evening chores.
Upon entering the building Dillon
leaned over grain bin to procure
some feed, evidence shows, when he
was shot, the murderer apparently
standing in the doorway or the barn.
Two bullets entered his back, one
struck his neck and another his face.
Mrs. Dillon heard the shots and
probably OWNED what was occurring
in the barn. She ran from the house
toward the scene OF the shooting; a
bullet met her and she fell dead
The murderer then went to the
house, sought the bedroom OF the
daughter Leila, who was preparing 10
retire, shot the girl dead and fed
from the farm.

WILSON AND BRYAN CONFER
Latest Phase of Mexican Situation
Discussed.

Discussed.
Washington, Oct. 24.-Developments
attending General Felix Dia q at
tempts to campaign for the Mexican
presidency, and the latest turn in the
situation between the United States
and Great Britain over the latter's at
titude toward Mexico, engaged the at.
tention of President Wilson and Sec.
retary Bryan.
The disposition of all officials here
to maintain absolute silence with re-
gard to the inquiries by Ambassador
Page at London Indicated that the
whole affair will be handled in the
quiet realm OF diplomacy and no ex-
preston of policy were looked for on
the subpect, either from London or
Washington.
There was confidence that further
and more intimate discussion Of de-
tails would result in a friendly under
standing. but In the meantime every
effort is being made to handle the in.
cident secretly.
AS the elections of Oct. 26 approach
the administration here is in a wait
ing mood. Huerta's attitude leads to
the belief that another announcement
from the American government point
ing to the inability of his government
to conduct a free and fair election
may be expected.
