DEATH CALLS A RENOWNED THEOSOPHIST Dr. Jerome A. Anderson, a well known physician and prominent in Theosophical circles, died at his home in this city yesterday. He was highly esteemed by a large circle of acquain- tances. He leaves a widow and three daughters, Ivy, Jessamine and Violet. Dr. Anderson was brought into great prominence through kis connection with the Society of Theosophists of which Madame Katherine Alice Tingley, the master of the Universal Brotherhood, played a prominent part at Point Loma about a year ago. % Dr. Anderson weas at one time pres- ident of the local branch, but he re- signed about a year and a half ago, which caused a great deal of com- ment in that society. The doctor's resignation at that time was said to be due to the alleged autocratic dis- position shown by Madame Tingley in the management of the affairs of her branch of the cult. When the doctor resigned his posi- tion he made a very emphatic state- ment in regard to Mrs. Tingley. He said her operations disgusted him and that she had conducted herself in a manner deserving of the most severe criticism as being at variance with the conduct one would naturally expect from the léader of the Theosophists of the United States. He referred to Madame Tingley as a woman full of ideas and they were as visionary as those of Colonel Mulberry Sellers. He stated that she had a decidedly combative temperament and the result was that she had involved the brother- hood in useless litigation. He added that her acts had disgusted the Theos- ophists to such an extent that numer- ous withdrawals have resulted; in fact, of the 140 societies which had amal- gamated with the brotherhood a few ! years previously, only about 40 re- mained faithful. From 5000 members ‘who were on the roll when the society was flourishing, the roll suddenly dropped to 500, and this the doctor al- leged was due to the actions of M Tingley. Some time after his resignation Dr. Anderson again came to public notice by the deposition he filed in the Times- Mirror Company suit, who were de- action for libel brought ley. y Mrs. Ting- | Mysteries of Antiquity. | how he was made a member of the Or- der of the Rising Sun.
