PACT TOO MATERIAL,

Treaty Lacks "Touch of

SWATS FALSE DISCIPLES
Eleven Students From Raja-
Yoga Academy Recite at
Lecture.

Madame Katherine Tingley, leader Of
the Universal Brotherhood and Theo-
sophlcal Society, which has its internal
tional headquarters at Point Iona, Cal.
served fair warning on the Peace Con-
ference at Versailles in Aeolian Hall
last night that, even IL the Germans
signed. permanent peace couldn't really
follow because the pact was based upon
materlalism and not founded upon a
spirit OF brotherly love.
II presume" said Madame Tingley.
that II President Wilson and the other
leaders bad lived in the atmosphere ]
have. and had had no more to do. they
would have dreamed of something
grander. What the treaty wants is a
clause that Will touch the spiritual side
of man. We need the touch OF the heart
doctrine"
Mime. Tingley explained that the
speaking tour she is now making was
undertaken not only to bring "uplift" to
New York. Washington. Boston and
other of the larger cities, but also to sc;
forth the altruistic ideas of theosophy
IN the hope they would bring hep Ia
those who are asking explanations of
great problems and who question the
justice of many things we have had TO
endure for all these years"
Although Nine Tingiey spoke well of
Christ, especially of His Sermon on the
Mount, which shS thought could not well
be rejected. she deprecated the teach
ings Of the little groups OF self-styled
Theosophists she said one might find in
nearly every city. After regretting that
| the matter had to be touched upon at
all. Nine, Tingley said these little
groups were causing real Thcosophy
to be misunderstood and were teaching
things that Nine. II. p Blavatsky would
never. never have stood for.
why" said Nine. Tingley, 'if one
visits some Of these circles one Is apt
to be taken on n trip to Mars. The
public, in my opinion. has been in some
degree imposed upon. We do not tearh

no grotesque teachings at ALL"

THOMPSON TOSHOW
LETTERS IN CASE
He VIII Produce Missives That
Burke Said Would Stulify
Senator.

Senator George F. Thompson will take
the stand to-day for examination
by his counsel when the Senate Judiciary
Committee resumes its investigation into
the allegations OF the Senator that i'm
proper means were used to influence
him in favor OF the Carson-Martin trac-
ton bill and that 1t was suggested to
him that 100000 might be raised to en-
able him to run for Governor.
Under the guidance OF Frank Moss
| Senator Thompson Is expected to attempt
| to justify the Information he gave to
certain newspaper men upon which they
published stories about $500, 900 "slush'
funds and dough bags" He Will pro-
duce the two mysterious letters mem
| toned in the testimony of Richard ii.
Burke, which. II made public, Burke de-
| clared, would prove that Senator Thomp-
| son was not At to sit in the Senate.
| One was letter that Burke said
| Thompson had taken to Nicholas f.
| Brady's house. II Is understood that the
| Senator will explain that early last
| January Burke. who lad habit OF
| turning up in Albany every year as
| soon as traction Legislation was intro
| iuced. called on him. Some time be-
fore that he had happened to get hold
| II n statement from John d. Rookie
Teller. Jr., outlining what could be done
for the improvement Of living condi-
| lions he told Mr.. Burke. For a time
! Senator Thompson had had an idea that
| by the proper development or water
| power the entire State would be MADE
| practically independent OF coal for light
ng. heating or power. So he sat down
on fha spur of the moment and told
| Mr.. rockefeller of his scheme and sug-
gested hat by carrying it out he could
really be benefactor of mankind.
After the letter was written the Sena-
tor decided not to send 1t. but he showed
| II to Burke. The latter, II is said sug-
gested that possibly Mr.. Brady might be
| Interested in the project and offered 10
take Senator Thompson to see him. So
| they went carrying the draft OF the let
| ter to Mr.. Rockefeller which explained
| the Thompson water power scheme. Mr.
| Brady seemed Interested but nothing
| ever came OF it.
The second mysterious letter was one
| that Senator Thompson sent to Mayor
| Hylan saying he was opposed TO the
| Carson Martin bill. that he would never
| be a party to the breaking of a franchise
| contract and that he thought the ques-
| ton of increasing fares in New York
| city was one that was entirely up to the
| Board of Estimate II that body did not
| have enough power he (Thompson)
would favor bill giving the board au-
thority in the premises.
This letter had been written Just be-
| fore Burke called on the Senator at the
Republican Club on March Is. and he

she.
