HEADS RADICAL CULT
; IN JAPAN ARRESTED
FOLLOWING RAIDS
(By Associates Press,


KYOTO. Japan. May 12.-Leaders OF
the radical "omotokyo" cult have been
placed under arrest with many of their
principal followers. following police
raid on the headquarters of the organ
ization at Avabe. near here. They are
charged with distributing alarmist re-
ports, calculated to disturb the public.
Police officials who conducted the
raid broke into a secret temple at
Ayabe, and there found 2,000, 900 yen in
specia. and several hundred swords.
An investigation is declared to have
shown that the famed deity of "Omo-
tokyo" enshrined in the temple con-
sisted merely of pebbles wrapped in
paper.
Hidden Passages.
Subterranean passages were found
leading to the residence of Wanisa.
buro Deguchi, adopted son of the
woman who was founder of the cult,
it is said. and in his home were found
chests laden with diamonds and rubies
valued at s1,O00.0O0. Firearms were
also found stored in the building, the
police assert.
Deguchi. recently bought two Osaka
newspapers, and devoted them to the
teaching of "Omotokyo" precepts.
The spread of this belief among all
classes in the empire has been re-
garded as a national menace on &C
count of its sensational teachings.
These have included the necessity
of war with America, and declarations
that Japan is destined to attain do
minion over the entire world. The
workers sent out by the clut had de-
=, clared that the failure of the nation
sto adhere to "Omatokyo" as the re-
vealed religion would mean the total
destruction of Japan in half a century.
