P. I—«Local wool men and merchants have agreed to cooperate with Joseph Wilson, Humboldt county «farm bu reau agent, in a movement to facili tate manufacture of pure-wool suits at 336 to 34 0. It Is proposed to pay 30 cents a pound for the wool clips of Humboldt county and send the wool direct to cloth mills, eliminating the middlemen. By this method tt Is said that all- ol cloth can ba manufactured at an approximate cost of 31.25 a yard which can be sold at 33.15 to 33.40 a yard to the trade. The plan is in tended to benefit the wool grower, manufacturer and consumer JAPANESE OFFICIALS MAKE ARREST ’ 0F PRIESTS OF CULT OF OMQTOKÌO I I Toklo, May 17—(A. P.l—The sud den arrest of three priests who pre aid««! over the mysterious Japanese cult known as Omotokyo. founded by an elderly woman named Deguchl, has again brought Into public notice this religion which aroused Interest throughout the empire because It Is regarded as a strange mixture of ex treme chauvinism and revolutionary radicalism. Many extraordinary reports have recently been circulated concerning the mysterious Influence of the cult. For Instance, some people attributed the recent curious murder of a weal thy Osaka business man while he was traveling In a train from Toklo to that city, as an act of vengeance of Omotokyo. Many ’wealthy people who became Interested In the cult are alleged to have been forced to make large con tributions, and It Is even charged that some people who obtained Intimate knowledge of the secrets of the re ligion mysteriously disappeared. Some who went to lAyabe, a small village in the province of Tamba, Ky- oto prefecture, where la located the headquarters of the religion, for the purpose of detecting the real nature and scope of the cult have failed to return and are entirely unaccounted for. The charge upon which ths three priests were recently arrested is un known and the Japanese newspapers have been forbidden to publish any news concerning the arrest. A girl of 14, Naohi Deguchl, the daughter of the founder is supposed to be the presiding priestesa of the temple and it is declared that other priests have explained the disappearance of their leaders by telling the Omotokyo wor shippers that they have been hidden by some unseen deity in accordance with divine will. One of the attributes of the tem ple at Ay* be was profeiwed to be a sacred well In the compound of the temple and this water was supposed to come from a spring of holy origin. Mining engineers from Kobe working on a concession near the temple un covered two hlg water pipe* which fed the well from a nearby pond POLIS OFFE» 10 RETIRE - T Immediate Cessation ot Hostilities Should Germany Kept Out of Disputed Silesian Territory By Inter-Allied Commission Forces Oppelli, May 17.
