Central Baptist church, advised his

that 90,000 little children are working
their lives out In the stores winning
broad becauae of the heedless desires
of the people to gratify their passions.

Purple Mother is Main
Spring at Point
Loma.
By Private Leased Wire.
San Diego, CaL. July 10.—It Is four
years since the Point Loma theoso-
phtat colony and Its leader. Katherine
Ttngley, "Purple Mother of the Uni
versal Brotherhood," has been so con
spicuously In the limelight as It Is to
day. Four years ago Mme. Tlngley
got all the notoriety and publicity even
she could desire In New York, when
the Immigration officials at Ellis Island
ordered the deportation of eleven Cu
ban children Imported for enrollment
In the Raja Yoga school at Point Lomn.
The children designated by the "Pur
ple Mother" as her 'TotuS buds" were
the subject of a long nnd bitter tight
which turned the attention of the
country on the Point Loma colony and
Its mysterious customs. Mme. Ting-
ley’s career and her educational the
ories as practiced at the Itaja Yoga
school were revealed and furnished
countless columns of news matter for
newspapers all over the country.
Elsven 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 back to.
CulpLa Mme. Tlngley attended the
bearings of the board and expounded
her case with remarkable skill. Her pose
was that Of whnt Iternard Hhaiv de
scribes as a "super-woman” with Ideas
and ideals Cloud high and the regenera
tion of the world ns her mlsshm In Ilf".
But witnesses, many of them theoso-
phlsts, who refused to accept Mme.
I g> leader and teacher, testi
fied before the board that If she was
all she claimed she must have under
gone an astonishing metamorphosis.
Has Had Varied Career.
The testimony revealed the fact that
before she assumed the purple mother
hood of the Universal Brotherhood.
Mme. Tlngley had had a varied career,
curiously Interwovtn with rum selling,
palmistry, 25-cent horoscopes nnd hyp
notism. Also, before sho arrived at a
realisation of her own divinity sho was
much addicted to the habit of matri
mony.
She, It was shown, received her
cnrllest Impressions of life around a
saloon owned by her father In New
bury port. Mass. There was a hotel In
connection with the saloon, but the
authorities had trouble which ended
finally In the revocation of the license.
Shaw Aids Purple Mother.
Ultimately the board at Ellis Island
decided the children must go back to
Cuba. But they reckoned without Mrs.
Tlngley. One of her maxims Is: "The
knowledge that we are divine gives
the power to overcome all obstacles
and to dare to do right" She over
came this obstacle by a personal ap
peal to Secretary Sliaw, who overruled
the Ellis Island board and allowed tho
children to go to Point Loma, whero
they became "lotus buds," and get up
every day to greet the sun.
Whatever shadows thero are over
the "Purple Mother's" career, her pro
fessed Ideals are lofty. Thq Universal
Brotherhood, which sho rules from
Point Loma, Is pledged to the ameliora
tion of mankind’s lot.
Here Are the ''Objects."
These are Its advertised objects:
1. To help men and women to roatlzo
the nobility of their calling and their
true position In life.
2. To educate children of all nations

DEATH A RELIEF TO PACKINGTOWN’S
BRAVE WOMEN
PITIFUL PICTURE OF THE FATE OF ONA SHOWS HOW YOUNG LIVES ARE CUT SH
ORT BY WORK IN STOCKYARDS
CHAPTER XVIII (CONTINUED).
Jurgls could see all the truth now—
could see himself, through the whole
long course of events, the victim of
ravenous vultures that had torn his
vital, and devoured him; of flends that
had racked and tortured him, mocked
him, meantime jeering In his face. Ah,
God, the horror of It, the monstrous,
hideous, demoniacal wickedness of Itl
Be and his family, helpless women and
children, atruggltng to Uve, Ignorant
and defenseless and forlorn as they
were—and the enemies that had been
lurking for them, crouching upon their

firnt lying circular, that smooth
tongued, ailppsry agent! That trap of
the extra payments, the Interest tend all
the other charges that they had not the
mean, to pay, and would never have
attempted to pay! And then all the
trick, of the packers, their masters,
the tyrants who ruled them—the ahut-
downs and the scarcity of work, the
Irregular hours and the cruel speedlng-
t‘i>. the lowering of wages, th* raising
wt prices! The mercilessness of. na
ture about them, of heat and cold, rain
and .now; the mercllessness of the
city, of the country In which they
lived, of Its laws and customs that they
did not understand! All of these things
had worked together for the company
that had markad them for Its prey and
*a. waiting for Its chance. And now,
*lth this last hldsoua Injustice, Its time
had come, and It had turned them out
hag and baggage, and taken thetr
home and sold It again. And they
could do nothing; they were tied band
*r.d foot—the law twlu against them,
th* whole machinery of society was
»t thrir oppressors’ command! If Jur-

them, back he would go Into that
wild-beast pen from which he had Just
escaped!
To get up and go away was to give
up, to acknowledge defeat, to lenve
the strange family In possession; nnd
Jurgls might hare sat shivering In tho
rain for hours before he could do that,
had It not been for the thought of his
family. It might be that he had worso
things yet to learn—and so he got to
his feet and started away, walking on,
wearily, half-dosed. , . , . ..
To Anlelt’s house. In back of tho
yarda, woi a food two mllti; tho dlo-
tanca had never seemed longer to Jur
gls, and when he saw the fomlllar din
gy-gray shanty his heart was beating
fast. He ran up the steps and began
to hammer upon the d-or.
The old woman herself cam# to open
It. She had shrunk all up with her
rheumatism since Jurgls had seen her
last, and her yellow parchment face
stared up at him from a little above
the level of the door knob. She gave
a start when she saw him. "I# Ona
nor*?’’ he cried, breathlessly.
"Yos," was the answer, "she* here.
••How—” Jurgls began, and then
stopped short, clutching convulsively at
the side of the door. From somewhere
within th# bouse hod com* a sudden
cry. a wild, horrible scream of an
guish. And the voice was Ona*.
• For a moment Jurgla atood naif-
paralysed with fright; then he bound
ed past th# old woman and Into the
Twas Antele’s kitchen, and hnddlad
round tha stove were half a dozen
women, pale and frifhtened. One of

She dragged him back Into the kltch
en, half carrying him, for ho hed gone
all to plecee. It was as If tha plllnrs

Into a chair trombllng, like a leaf, Mn

cried again, ’’Who’s with her?”
’’She’s—she's all right,” she answer
ed. “Elsbleta's with her.”
“But the doctor!” ho panted. “Some
one who knowe!”
He seized Marija by the arm; aha
trembled, and her voice sank beneath
a whisper as she replied: "We—we
have no money.” Then, frightened at
the look on his face, she ezclalmed:
"It’s nil right, Jurgli! You <!■ .n’t un
derstand—go owoy—go away! Ah, If
you only had waited!"
"And the children?" cried Jurgls.
“The children have not been home
for three days, the weather has been so
bad. *
Jurgls was standing by the table, and
he caught himself with hts hands: his
head sank nnd hla arms shook—It
looked as If he were going to col
lapse. Then suddenly Anlele got up
end came hobbling toward him, fum
bling In her skirt pocket. 8be drew
out a dirty rag. In on* corner of which
she had something tied.
’’Here, Jurgls!" she said, "1 have

She unwrapped It and counted It
out—thirty-four cent*. "You go now,"
she said, “and try and get somebody
youraelf. And maybe tne reel cat)
help—give him some money, you; he
will pay you back some day, and It will
do him good to have something to
think about, even If he doesn't succeed.
When he comes back, maybe It will be
over.”
And eo the other women turned out
the contents of their pocket-books;
most of them hsd only pennies and
nickels, but they gave him all. Mr*.
Olszawskl, who lived next door, and
had a husband who was a skilled cat

nearly half a dollar, enough to raise
the whole sum to a dollar and a quar

pocket, still holding It tightly In his
fist, and started away at a run. '

Ing up a dingy flight of steps. Jurgls
went up thsm, thrw st a time.
Madame Haupt was frying pork and
onions and hsd her door half open to
let out th* smoke. When he tried to
knock, upon It, It swung open the rest
of the wfy, and h* hsd s glimpse of
her, with s black bottle turned up to
her lips. Then he knocked louder, and
she started and put It sway. She was
a Dutch woman—enormously fat—
when she walked she rolled liked s
small boat on th* ocean, and the dishes
In tbe cupboard Jostled each other. Hhe
wore a filthy blue wrapper, and htr
teeth were black.
"Vot la It?” she ssld when she saw
Jurats.
H* had run Ilka mad all tha way
and was so out of breath he could
hardly epaek. Hla hair was flying and
hts area wild—ha looked Ilka a man
that had risen from th* tomb. "My
wife!” he panted. "Coma quickly!”
Madam* Haupt set th* frying pan-to
one sld* and wiped her hands on her
wrapper. "You vant ms to com* for a
case?" aha Inquired.
"Yes," gasped Jurgls.
~I haf just com* back from a case,"
aha said. “I haf had no tlm* to eat my
dinner. Still—If It 1* so bad"—
"Yes—It te!” cried he.
"Veil, dyn, perhaps—vot you pay I" ■
”1—1—how much do you want?” Jur
gts stammered.
"Twenty-flvs dollars.”
His face fell. "I cant pay that,” h*

The woman waa watching him nar
rowly. 'How much do you pay 7” ah*
demanded. - ,
’’Must I pay now—right away?"
’’Yes; all my customer* do.”
”1—1 haven’t much money,” Jurat*
began. In an agony of dread. ’Tv*

gone. But I’ll pay you—every rant-
just as soon as I ran; I con work”—
"Vot la your work 7"
"I have no place now. I muat gat

"How much haf you got now?”
II* could hardly bring hlmaelf to re
ply. When h* said “A dollar and a
quarter,” the woman laughed In hla
face.
I vould not put on my hat for a

“It’s all I’ve got," he pleaded, hla
vole* breaking. ”1 muat gat soma on*

‘T’ve just been In Jail,” Jurgls crltri
—he waa ready to get down upon his
knsaa to the woman—“and I had no
money before, and my family has al
most starved.”

”1 have nothing. I tall you—I have

Madams Haupt woa pointing har
cooking fork at Jurgla persuasively;
but har words wtre more than he
could bear. It* flung up hla bands with
a gesture nf despair and turned and
started sway, ”lt'a no lisa,” h* ex
claimed—but suddenly he heard th*
woman's vole* behind him again:
ei vlli make It five dollar* for you.”
Rh* followed behind him, arguing
with him. ’’Tou vlli b* foolish, not

shoutad, "how con. I pay It? Damn It,

So you hear me—I haven’t got It!”
Ha turned and atariad away again.
II* was halfway down th* stairs be
fore Madame Haupt could shout to
him; “Valt! I wtU go mlt you! Coma
back!”
He went back Into th* room again.
"It Is not goot to tlnk of anybody

voice, "I might as veil go mlt you for

and the woman counted It und stowed
It away. Than sh* wiped her greasy

was *o fat that It was painful for her
to move, and she grunted ami gtieped at

go so far at a step, and It took all tier
attention to get the needed breath f.,r
that.
They came at lost to the house, and
to the group of frightenej women in
tho kitchen. Madame Haupt removed
her bonnet and laid It on th* muntel-

Then they eacoriad her to the lad
der, and Jurgls heard her give nn ex
clamation of dismay. "Gott in Hlm-

trap door! 1. vtlt not try It—vy, I
might kill myself already.”
At last Anlele succeeded In pacify

then, however, she had to be stopped
while th* woman cautioned her about
the floor of tbe garret. They had no
real floor—they had laid old boards
In one part to make a place for tlm
family to lira; It was all right nnd
safe there, but the other part of the
garret bad only the joins of the floor
and the lath and pla-ter of the celling

would be a rntoatmplm. As It w as half
