CULT HOUSE RAIDED
AT WOAIAN’S STORY
OF ABUSE BY CHIEF
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—Sixteen persons,
whites, negroes and Indians, were taken
from the institue of psychology and
mental training operated by Dr. L. W.
Delawrence and lodged in police sta
tion cells today at the request of a
woman.
The woman, Mrs. Augusta Murie.
came from Brooklyn, N. Y., to learn
“absolute life" under Delawrence's
teaching. She ran breathlessly into a
police station last night and demanded
the doctor’s arrest. She said she had
been in the house for several days, sub
jected to indignities and abused. She
was questioned and shortly afterward
two patrol wagons were sent to the cult
house, which is located in the midst of
the millionaire residence section of
Michigan avenue.
Mrs. Murie refused to tell any one
but the police of the things that oc
curred. She said, however, that the
negroes forjned the "Order of the Black
Rose,” ami that they were a special
guard for Dr. Delawrence. Initiation
into the order, she said, consisted of
being weighed in the "scale room"
while the doctor looked on and the
“Black Rose" members guarded the
door.

U.S.SUITS HOVER
OVER GA. SYSTEM
Union Men Say Evidence in
Arbitration Case Will Show
Violations.
Evidence submitted at tlie court of
arbitration considering the Georgia
railroad strike may be used in gov
ernment suits to show flagrant viola
tions by tlie Georgia road of tiie Federal
law against the use of employees in
continuous sei vice longer than sixteen
hours. Vice Presidents Murdock and
Gregg, representing the unions, contend
that they hold more than 60 telegrams
sent by officials of the road ordering
disregard of the law, and that 27 of
these messages were signed by Super
intendent W. S. Brand.
If the authenticity of the messages
can be established, the road will be Ha
ble to the United States government,
the penalty being in each case *SOO. a
total of *30,000 if convictions were se
cured in all.
Charge Railroad Plot.
The labor leaders openly charge that
the bulletin issued by Superintendent
Brand, which got Conductor Paschal
into trouble, was framed for the pur
pose of entrapping the conductor; fur
thermore, that this was done because of
Paschal’S activity as chairman of a
conductor’s committee.
John IV. Henley, assistant United
States district attorney, declared that
th ■ telegrams held by the union leaders
may be used as basis for suit against
the road. Mr. Scott and Mr. Brand
neither admit nor deny the authorship
of the messages, but will ask the court
to go into the matter of the authorship
through the telegraph operators who
received these messages along the road.
The union leaders declare they have
other cards up their sleeves, such as
certain letters purporting to have come
from Gen-ral Manager Scott telling
subordinates in the railway service that
Paschal must be filed at any cost.
These letters and other evidence ars
being withheld pending developments,
but they may be sprung any time and
the case terminated abruptly.
More Time Wanted.
The labor leaders have charged indi
rectly that th" road officials are play
ing for time and are arguing beside
the question. "We can't understand
what you are driving at,” they have
frequently told Mr. Brand and Mr.
Scott. "Let us have the facts.”
Judge William L. Chambers, who is
presiding as umpire, would not allow
Conductor Paschal's character to be
brought intb question, since the oppo
sition had not at that time made a defi
nite presentation of facts tending to
bear out the claim that discrimination
had been used.

turned. Jack Johnson, negro fighter,
waited in the county jail today while

With the increase in the number of
indictments, the question of bond be
came still more serious. Should the

manded on the first Indictments, the to
tal bond would be more than *300,U00.

CONJRACT
Mayor-Elect Sends Word to
Allies New Crematory
Plan Is Void.
TELLS VAN DYKE TO
BLOCK DESTRUCTIOA
Political Circles Stirred by First
Word From Nominee on
Mysterious Trip.
In a decisive telegram to Aldertnar.
Arthur H. Van Dyke. Mayoralty Nom
inee James G. Woodward, who has
been making a thorough investigation
of crematories in Eastern and Western
cities, announced today that the Con
ti act for the hew $276.0D0 crematory
would not be carried out. At the same
time he urged that every measure pos
sible be taken to prevent the tearing
down of the old plant.
The next mayor's announcement por
tends a bitter political fight that is ex
pected- by many to develop sensational
revelations. For weeks there have been
I all sjorts of rumors current of extrava-
I ganr profits to be made by the Destruc-
I tor Company, not untnixed w ith other
j charges even more serious.
Woodward Foes
: Hurry Action.
| Acting on these rumors, Woodward
I decided to visit various cities which
I have garbage crematories similar to
that planned for Atlanta. The faction
opposed to the next mayor and backing
the crematory project, fearful of a fight
. to block it. attempted to hasten mattes s
I and prepared to have the old plant de
stroyed to make the new one impera
tive.
The Woodward forces, who won their
first victory with the halting by Judge
Pendleton of the board of health's plan
to tear down the huge smokestack of
the old plant, await the home-coming
of their leader for the renewal of the
fight.
First Word
From Nominee.
The receipt of the telegram today
created something of a stir on both
sides. It was the first word from the
mayoralty nominee since his departure,
the investigation tour being pretty
much of a secret journey. Woodward
followers said today that important
facts had undoubtedly been discovered
and that they would back their lead r
to a finish in his fight to hold up the
entire contract. They asserted t-hat
they will be able to show Atlanta ha
illegally contracted to pay $100,001) more
than Milwaukee for a similar plant.
With Alderman Van Dyke figin
ing to make the board of health resume
the use of the crematory, the cremator)
will stand protected from demolition by
a < ourt-order until after the next tneet-
Ing of the aldermanic board, which is a
week from Thursday.
Aiderman John E. McClelland and
other f'iends of James G. Woodward
said today that they had won a com
plete victory over Dr. W. L. Gilbert,
president of the board of health, and
others who were anxious to begin work
on the new $276.0000 garbage disposal
plant at once. They said that all tht*:-
wanted was to preserve the old crema
tory until Mr. Woodward returned from
an Investigation trip of garbage dis
posal systems in other cities.
Aiderman Van Dyke said today that If
Dr. Gilbert refused to put the old cre
matory back to work he would appeal
i to the court for a mandamus to fot< «
* him.
