Gertrude Leo: the missing New York j witness in the case against "Oom," the "omnipotent." otherwise Pierce Ber ' nard. head of a Sanskrit school of Hin du philosophy, who about a year ago j was accused of improper practices in I connection with his school, and who t is again facing charges, is in Tacoma. ; She is with her parents at 515 South Fifty-second street. , Miss Leo said today that If the case against Bernard depended upon her testimony, it was due to fail again. I I'r.der no circumstances, she says, will she eo hack to New York to testify against Bernard. J New York reports said an allegation had been made that Miss Leo and Miss I Zella Hopp. the two chief witnesses for the state, were paid to leave New York. Miss Leo. who is a prepossessing girl of 20, denies this story. Cdrl Not Paid to Leave. "Why." she said, "if they knew what a hard time I have had since, trying to keep my head above water, they would not say I was psld to leave New York. I left that state of my own free will. I will admit that I was advised that if I did leave nothing could be done to me. Miss Hopp was the principal witness for the District Attorney's office, but without my cor roborating evidence Jthe prosecution failed, I understand:" Miss Leo said the teachinKS of Brah ma have a strange fascination for her and for other young people as well. She I flrst met Bernard the Brahmin j "prophet," as he has been called, In Seattle, and then went to New tor and became a member of the school. She maintains Brahmin teachings are good, though she says she disapproves of Bernard personally and of his ac tions. Bernard Clever Man. 'Bernard." she said. "Is one of the cleverest men I believe the cleverest man I ever met. He may do things at the school which ho could be con victed for, but he is so smart that the blame always falls on the boys he has around him and not' on himself." Miss Leo is the sister of Mrs. E. H. Miller, of 612 South Tacoma avenue, who Is now In New York. Mrs. Miller started the original case against Ber nard and Induced Miss Leo to leave "the school." She carried to the Dis trict Attorney of New York Informa tion which caused him to take up the prosecution of "Oom" that failed. Miss Leo has been here several weeks, but expects to go away soon, she said. Miss Leo said Bernard's red book, "Introduction of the Science of Tan trik," Is given only to those Initiated Into the mysteries by Bernard, who. she said, exercises complete control over them. "Those he cannot control by his teuchlngs," she said, "he dismisses from the school. Bernard is not a hypnotist at all. as has been suggested."

To dispose of an enormous stock of Winter merchandise such as a store of our magnitude must, of necessity, at all times carry, calls for more than ordinary effort.

To this end we have determined upon two methods: FIRST To make prices lower on all merchandise than ever before in the history of Portland. SECOND To give extended credit to all our charge customers, and to trustworthy persons who desire to open an account. This unprecedented offer is of the greatest importance to all .thrifty and economical housekeepers. It is the ONE opportunity to take advantage of the lowest prices and to supply both present and future needs in the most substantial, reliable and worthy mer chandise. All Goods Purchased Until January 31st Will Be Billed on March First land with the approval of the Depart ment of Justice. The only defendants out of the entire 16 who have not asked for an extension of time are John D. Rockefeller and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The Minnesota groups of mining and land companies secured an extension some time ago to January 15, and thus far tliey have not asked for further time. It is believed ail of the defend ants who ask for it will have their time for filing answers extended to Feb ruary 1. SCHOOL CENSUS INCREASES Clatsop County Gains 4 0 In Year. Boys Outnumber Girls.
