NOTED WOMAN THEOSOPHIST
 Is DEAD

STOCKHOLM, July 20, P). Mrs, Katherine Tingley, Theoso- phist leader died at Vinsko Island near here. Her death was attributed an illness following an automobile accident which oc- cured in Germany May 30th.
 Following, is a sketch of her interesting and remarkable life as the leader of the group known as Thosophists.
 The work of Mrs. Katherine Brotherhood and Theosophical So- ciety, according to her associates, was linked with that of her pred ecessors, Madame Blavatsky and William Q. Judge. Under her dir ection the message of theosophy went into practically every coun- try in the world and attracted to the movement, such prominent men as Lyman J. Gage, former Secre- tary of the Treasury, the late A. G. Spalding, 'the father of base ball', E. A. Neresheimer. New York merchant, Frank W. Pierce, another wealthy New York man. and others, who at times made their homes in the colony Mrs Tingley founded in 1900 on the Pacific Coast.
 Mrs. Tingley founded "Loma- land. at Point Loma, near San Diego, Cal, large estate where are situated the international theosophical headquarters, the Rajah Yoga College and Theoso- phical University. The buildings include an open air Greek theatre, one of the first erected in the United States.
 "The rightful position of the drama" the founder once said lis as one of the great redemptive forces of the age. Life is the the great mystery and in unveil- ing it in the light of knowledge. the true drama ever has been and ever will be mans greatest in strcctor."
 Eminently successful as an or ganizer and leader, Mrs. Tingley's career was at times beset with difficulties and litigation.

A California jury awarded Mrs. Mohn s1OO,OO0 but Mrs Tingley ap- pealed the case to the state sup reme court.

metal employers have already lock-

The whole Austrian working class
is much aroused over this attack
on their standards of living, and

numerous. The employers threaten
to call out the fascist Heimwehr,
an armed military body, to herd
scabs for them.

Without consulting the population,
the Bishop of Andorra, who governs

The bishop is eager to give the
streams, which are rich in potential

their living on fish, which they take
from the mountain streams. and are
determined to fight the deal.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81.
Fears of foreign industrialists
that the United States businessmen
and their government are planning
to change the manner of levying
duties were substantiated here to-
day. By this change, the European
capitalists fear, shipments of goods
would be appraised on the basis of
what similar shipments of goods
would cost to produce in the United
States, and the duty would be ar
rived on at the latter figure, Amer
lean duties being ad valorem.
Foreign capitalists state that the
effect would be virtually to exclude
them from the American market.
A letter signed by leading French
business men has been presented to
the French minister of commerce,
Boonefous, stating that, if the
United States makes it's appraisal

so far in meeting the U. S. on the
