By Private Leased Wire. San Diego, Cat.. July 10.—It Is four years since the Point Loma theoso- phlst colony and Its leader. Katherine TIngley, “Purple Mother of the Uni versal Brotherhood," has been so con spicuously In the limelight as It Is to day. Pour years ago Mme. TIngley got all the notoriety and publicity even she could desire In New York, when the Immigration officials nt Ellis Island ordered the deportation of eleven Cu ban children Imported for enrollment In the Raja Yoga school at Point Loma. The children designated by the "Pur ple Mother" as her "lotus buds" were the subject of a long and bitter fight which turned the attention of the country on the Point Loma colony and Its mystertolis customs. Mme. Ting- ley’s career end her educational the ories as practiced at the Raja Yoga school were ’revealed and furnished countless columns of news matter for newspapers all over the country*. Elsvsn Little Lotus Buds. A board of social Inquiry met at Ellis Island to decide whether the eleven lit tle Cubans should become "lotus buds" at Point Loma or be shooed hack to Cuba. Mme. Tingley attended the hearings of the board and expoun her cue with remarkable skill. Her pose was that of what Bernard Shaw de scribes u a "super-woman" with Ideas and Ideals cloud high and the regenera tion of the world os her mission In life. But witnesses, many of them tl-.ecso- hlsts, who refused to accept Mme. Ingley as leader and teacher, testi fied before the board that If eho wna all she claimed ehe must have under gone an astonishing metamorphosis. Hat Had Varied Career. The testimony revealed the fact that before she assumed the purple mother hood of the Universal Brotherhood. Mme. Tingley had had a varied career, curiously Interwoven with rum selling, palmistry, 25-cent horoscopes and hyp notism. Also, before she arrived nt a realisation of her own divinity she was much addicted to the habit of matri mony. She, It was shown, received her earliest Impressions of Ilfs around a saloon owned by her father In New- buryport. Mess. There was a hotel In connection with the saloon, hut the authorities had trouble which ended Anally In the revocation of the license. Shew Aids Purple Mother. Ultimately the board at Ellis Island decided the children must go hack to Cuba. But they reckoned without Mrs. Tingley. One of her maxims'Is: "The knowledge that we are divine gives the power to overcome oil obstacles and to dare to do right.” She over came this obstacle by a personal ap peal to Secretary Shaw, who overruled the Ellis Island board and allowed the children to go to Point Loma, where they became "lotus buds," and get up every day to greet the sun. Whatever shadows there are over the "Purple Mother’s" career, her pro fessed Ideals are lofty. The Universal Brotherhood, which she rules from Point Loma, Is pledged to the ameliora tion of mankind’s lot. Hera Are the “Objeele.” These are Its advertised objects: 1. To help men and women to realize the nobility of their calling and their true position In life. 2.
