BATTLE IN CHAPEL
ENDS IN A SUICIDE
Bank Official Kills Himself
After Shooting Woman and
Firing at Policemen
A pistol battle with the police in
a darkened Rosicrucian temple
yesterday m orning ended when a
middle-aged bank official shot
himself witftf*one of his two pistols
in front of the altar. A few min
utes earlier he had wounded a wo
m an volunteer worker as she fled
from a threatened suicide Daet.
The shooting occurred in the
eighth-floor lodge and temple
quarters of the Rosicrucian Order
a t 250 W est Fifty-seventh Street,
between Broadway and Eighth
Avenue. The dead m an was Charles
M. Liske, 52 years old, of 180 Sum
m it Avenue, Hackensack, N. J.
The woman was Miss Suzanne ten
Bosch, 39 years old, of 44-10 MacNish Street, Elm hurst, Queens.
Miss ten Bosch told detectives
th a t she had known Liske for ten
years. She said th a t they had
agreed on F riday night to break
off their relationship. She was
questioned in Roosevelt Hospital,
where she w as reported in good
condition w ith a flesh wound in
her rig h t , thigh.
According to a police reconstruc
tion Of the affray, Miss ten Bosch,
a nurse who does secretarial work
for the order, was alone in the
locked office shortly before 11
A. M. when Liske came to the door
carrying a brown leather attache
case. He had previously tele

phoned her from the'lobby.
A fter she led him to a reception
room overlooking the street, he
took two pistols (a long barreled
.38 caliber targ et and a 7-mm.
Mauser autom atic) from the case,
saying, You are going to die first,
then I ll kill myself."
No, I dont w ant to die, Miss
ten Bosch cried and tried to dis
arm him. One of the pistols was
discharged during the ensuing
struggle. Miss ten Bosch broke
away. Liske fired three shots at
her as she fled, one as she ran
down a short hallway in the office
and two in the main corridor.
Dr. Irwin Levy, a dentist, hear
ing the gunfire and screams, ran
from his office a t the fa r end of
the corridor and prevented her
from returning to the Rosicrucian
office. He told the police he saw
Liske standing in the reception
room, pointing a pistol a t his own
head.
Meanwhile, the police were sum
moned by Joseph Splain, an insur
ance broker with offices adjoining
Dr. Levy's.
Hundreds of persons gathered in

the street as a fleet of patrol cars
and a police emergency truck,
equipped with tear gas and rifles,
rushed to the scene.
Sgt. Alfred Chappel and Patrol
men William Gilroy and Robert
W hite of the W est Fifty-fourth
Street station located Liske in the
windowless temple room by the
clicking of an apparently jammed
pistol.
Leaving Patrolm an White in the

reception room to cover a possible
attack from the offices, which lie
between the temple and the front
windows, Sergeant Chappel and
Patrolm an Gilroy called to Liske
to throw out his pistol and surren

der.
t
They heard him m utter a reply
from the temple, in which a dim
green lamp was burning, but the
only audible word was kill.0
They took positions in an inside
vestibule leading to the temple. P a
trolman Gilroy fired twice into the
darkness. Three rapid shots was
returned. Sergeant Chappel fired
twice. There was a pause, then a
single shot from within the temple,
the sound of someone falling and it
was over.
/.
Liske was found lying on the
floor, the two pistols nearby, with
a contact wound in his left tem
ple.
The detectives said the fatal bul
let apparently came from the Mau
ser and from all indications, he
shot himself. This was confirmed
by A ssistant Medical -Examiner
Aaron Coblenz after examining the
body at the scene.
I t was like the Inner Sanctum,

Patrolm an Gilroy said. I'll be
glad to get home tonight. I t was

green lights, peggin* shots in the

The temple is approximately 20
by 50 feet and seats about 100
persons.
Liske's wife, Catherine, reached
by telephone a t her home, said she
had known of her husbands in
terest in Missten Bosch. She said
he was employed a t the Fiftysecond Street branch of the New
York Trust Company and she be
lieved he was assistant treasurer
there. They have no children.
The police said the Liskes had
been m arried th irty years but had
been separated on a t least one oc
casion. They were living together
a t the time of the shooting.

highlight of the recent in tern a
tional convention of Rosicrucians
a t San Jose, attended by Mrs.

Mrs. Byran. reported on the
instrum ent, called "Cosmolux" by

Cosmolux 'Color In
Music' Instrument
A new instrument called the Cos
molux produces beautiful color pat
terns upon a screen in response to
music or any sounds made before
its pickup microphone.
In contrast with several other
m ethods or machines which have
attempted to convert sound into
color, the Cosmolux does not em
ploy any keys or relays, but takes
the vibrations of a voice or instru
ment directly and, through Thyratron tubes and a unique circut,
actuates colored lights accurately
corresponding to the musical scale.
A definite sound or combination
of sounds always produces the
same color pattern on the screen,
and pitch and volume affect the
pattern uniformly and to a most
sensitive degree. Any phonograph
lecord, for instance, played before
the Cosmolux, produces on the
screen a color pattern which rep
resents the mood of the composi
tion.
The Cosmolux was demonstrated
to over a thousand delegates of the
International Convention of the
Rosicrucians at San Jose, Califor
nia, held recently. The instrument
was developed by Lester L. Libby,
an electrical engineer who holds
several patents in the field of elec
tronics, and who is Technical Di
rector of the Rosicrucian Science
Museum.
Libby explained the functions of
the instrum ent to a group of mem
bers from Santa Cruz, including
Mrs. Margaret Goodman, Marten
DeJonge, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred
Maxwell, Mr. and Mrs. Paul J.
Veatch, and William Wilcox.

Sound to Color
Do you talk blup, green or red.
or do you talk in a com bination of
colors?
The El Paso Hosicrucians can

test the color of their voices when
they go to the Rosicrucian Temple
at San Jose. Calif.
A new instrum ent, called th e
Cosmolux. produces color patterns
upon a screen in response to music
or an y o ther sound picked up on
its microphone.
Ray W. Oakes, loca] district com
missioner, said the new instrum ent
was dem onstrated before delegates
at a recent Kosicrucian convention
in California.
People w ith pretty voices are
likely to hrrve a pretty color pattern.
Tbe Cosmolux uses principles
well known in physics, but in a
new combination. Most previous
instrum ents which attem pted to cor
relate sound with color electrically
succeeded in doing so in a range of
but one octave of the musical scale.
The Cosmolux reproduces three full
octaves.

ome truly remarkable discov

These demonstrations were put

1000 persons and the latest elec

used. If there were any question
in my mind concerning the ex

a lengthv article from which
these excerpts were taken:
. . According to Erwin W atermeyer. technical director of the
Rosierueian Science Museum at
Can Jose, all substances . . . so
science has now determined . . *
confirming early Rosierueian h y
potheses . . .
all substances,
whether animate or inanimate,
have an aura . . .
The aura ls nothing more than
an
electromagnetic
radiation
from a substance which it sur
rounds like the magnetic field
about a magnet. It is this field,
according to recent theories,
that we as human beings are
constantly sensitive to and in
terpret as likes or dislikes, re
pulsive or attractive sensations.
The aura, like the familiar
force we call electricity, is not
visible to us nor*do we ever see
a persons aura itself . . . but we
do see what the aura produces
Just as we see the light or power
produced by electricity. During
the convention demonstration,
human subjects were asked to sit
in front of various colored lights.
Against this background, the
magnetic field of the individual
altered the light waves from the
lamps so as to produce specifie
color changes.

LOOK TO YOUR AURAS

Editor The Californian:
At your pleasure, I would like
to share with all of our readers
some of the exciting experiences
from my recent vacation. At the
occasion of the annual Interna
tional Convention of the Roslcruclan Order (AMORC) I witnessed
some truly remarkable discover
ies in the fields of sound, color,
and emotion.
Ii there were any question in
my mind concerning the existence
of a human aura, the scientific
demonstrations presented at this
years convention of Rosicrucians
soon dispelled them. To an au
dience of nearly 1,000 people, the
latest electronic and musical de
vices were used to prove not only
the existence of an aura, but also
the effect on it of various colpn
and musical notes.

than 125 Rosicrucian chapters in
this jurisdiction.

Veatch states the Rosicrucian
order is not a religious society,
but is a philosophical movement
devoted to the study of the scienc
es and the laws of nature as found
expressed in man. The tradition
al history of the order places its
establishment in 1350 B.C. during
the reign of Amenhotep IV. Phar
aoh of Egypt. The order first came
to America in 1694 a.m. and set

ROSICRUCIANS TOLD OF COLOR

SAN JOSEA new field of color
dimension was opened last week
to the nearly 1000 delegates to Ihc
annual convention of the Rosicru
cian order (AMORC). Internation
ally represented, members of this
fraternal, philosophical order wit
nessed five days of lectures and
demonstrations in the fields of art,
science, and philosophy at the
orders headquarters here.
Erwin Watermeyer, technical di
rector of the Rosicrucian science
museum and laboratories, conduct
ed the experiments, pointing out
that colors are caused by certain
definite rates of vibration of high
frequency. Such vibrations, when
reaching the human eye, arouse
definite color sensations. Through

several experiments, using human
subjects, Watcrmeyer explained
that there exists three fundamen
tal powers which colors may exert:
they may excite or arouse the ob
jective mind, they may calm or
trpnqui!iw it, or, lastly, they may
subdue or suppress. Colors which
excite the mind are red and its
neighboring colors, such as orange
8nd yellow. Colors which 'aim or
quiet the mind commence with
yellow and continue on into the
green and blue-green. A subduing j
and suppressing influence upon i
the objective mind is exerted, by 1
blue, violet and purple.

Demonstrate
Color Dimensions
San Jose.A new, vast field of
color dimension was opened last
week to the nearly 1000 delegates
to the annual convention of the
Rosicrucian order (AMORC). In
ternationally represented, members
of this fraternal, philosophical or
der witnessed five days of lectures
and demonstrations in the fields
of art, science and philosophy at
the orders headquarters in San
Jose.
Erwin Watermeyer, technical
director of the Rosicrucian Science
museum and laboratories, conduct
ed the experiments, pointing out
that colors are caused by certain
definite rates of vibration of very
high frequency. Such vibrations,
when reaching the human eye,
arouse within the brain definite
color sensations. Through several
experiment*, using human subjects,
Watermeyer explained that there
exist three fundamental powers
which colors may exert: They may |

excite or arouse the objective mind,
they may calm or tranquilize it, or, 1
lastly, they may subdue or sup
press. Colors which excite the mind
are red and its neighboring colors,
such as orange and yellow. Colors
which calm or quiet the mind com
mence with yellow and continue
on into the green and blue-green.
A subduing and suppressing influ
ence upon the objeetivemind is ex
erted by blue, violet and purple.
In another experiment, Water
meyer showed that when a white
light a mixture of all colors
shines upon a red object, the ob
ject will look red. On the other
hand, when red light only shines
upon the same red object, it will
still look red. But if green or blue
light shines upon the red object,
then the red object will look black,
i because it is only able to reflect

Why Are We Here?

Are W e Here F *r a
D efinite D uty?
Many a tim e have you not

paused to wonder, Why?**
Why you are as you are.
and others are doctors, law
yers. bankers, clerks, house
w ives, and so forth?
Why som e are prosperous
and healthy, others in dire
need? Why w e are called
equal, when such inequalities
exist?
Why are w e perm itted to
m ake the m istakes for which
we m ust suffer penalties!
Why does God, D ivinity, or
our Creator, w hichever term
you are fam iliar w ith, perm it
us to m ake such errors? Why
m ust we learn through suffer
ing for a m istake! Why are
w e not show n how to prevent
the m istake?
Why do 'God and nature
m ath em atically and sy stem
atically d ecree the existen ce
and m anifestation of e v e r y
thing here on this plane, and
still w e ourselves apparently
do not know why we are here
on Ihis earth plane!
Why. if w e are here for a
definite purpose or act, do w e
not return again to be able to
com plete our duty and pur
pose on this plane! Perhaps

we do.
These questions the church
es. universities, and scien ce
in general, attem pt to an
sw er; but still there is much
about th ese questions that
causes the average person to
ponder, and apparently he is
left without adequate infor

reason,
AMORC. the international

Rosicrucian Order, is com
posed of men and women in
terested in questions of this

in securing the logical an

Rosicrucians To
Observe Fete
Of New Year
The re-enactment of a ceremony
which began in ancient Egypt
more than 40 centuries ago will
be the high light of a local Rosicrucian conclave to be held Mon
day in the Palomar hotel.
According to Paul J. Veatch.
master of the Rosierueian Pron- j
aos of Santa Cruz, the ancient
Egyptians, from the time of Mem*
phis to the Ptolemaic period, be
gan their New Year on or about
the time of the vernal equinox,
when the sun enters the zodiacal
sign of Aries, which always oc
curs on or about March 21. This
was considered the beginning of |
the new year because spring is
symbolic of new life empha- i
sized by the reawakening of Na- '
ture from the dormant period of
winter, and the growth of living j
things.
The occasion of the New Year
Is celebrated, said Veatch, by a
symbolic feast in which the par
ticipants partake of simple foods
corresponding to certain basic
elements of Nature, such as: salt,
com. and unfermented grape
juice.
As the Rosierueian o r d e r ,
\MORC. a philosophical fratem- ;
itv. maintains its traditional

origin occurred during the reign 1
of Amenhotep IV in 1350 B.C., j
the order commemorates this an
cient New Year beginning with a j
ceremony, wlych, though non re- j
ligiotis. embrace* the allegorical
significance of the age-old Egyp
tian rite.
March 21 is also the beginning
of the fiscal penod of all Rosicrucian lodges, chapters, and
pronaoi throught the world, and
the date is marked by the instal- i
lation of new ritualistic and ad*
ministrative officers.
New officers of the local Rosicrucian organization who will be
installed are: E. J. Walters, mas
ter: Harry R. Held, secretary: and
Mrs. Mae Sawyer, guardian.
Many visiting members from
surrounding cities are expected to
attend.

Man is a conscious center

and not without. a panel of
psychologists and educators
stated at last weeks interna
tional Rosierueian convention
In San Jose.
This panel, made up of pro
fessional educators from United
States colleges and universities,
met wnh over 1000 other dele
gates from every part of the
world.
Because the world of which
man is conscious, these ex
perts went on to say, is within
him, his concepts of a time and
space world are mere illusions.
Demonstration Suggested
In other words, everything

that man knows, happen- in
his mind, and he merely per
ceives these events to be hap
pening outside himself.
This can be more easily
understood by sketching a
human e> e on 2 piece of paper
Next draw an object, such as a

tree, shoe or cup. a few inches
in front of the eye.
Then draw sight lines from
the object 10 ihe eye. having the
lines meet in the center of the
eye and spread out again to a I
point v%here they would nor
mally form an image on the
brain.
i;
P e r c e i v e d , Xot Seen
This image on the brain is
.the first knowledge of the ob
ject then. It is in ihe mind itself
thai the image lies and where
it is recognized.
Here, though, through the
peculiar quality of perception
possessed by humans, ihe
image is projected outward
egcin and *s perceived, not
seen, as an object occupying
space 2pan from the perceiving
mind.
The significance of these
findings is noi the denial of a
real world wiih which man
must deala real world from
which his conscious impres
sions originate, but to show
how much this real world is in
fluenced by man s thinking, ihe
panel said.
Conduct Research
Everything man perceives is
not only colored by his think
ing. his prejudices, and his
past experiences, but he can
actually, perceive things which
The Valley News

exist only in his mind.

The R o s i c r u c i a n Order.
AMORC, has conducted exten
sive research in this field, lend
ing its findings to the education
a n d self-improvement of its
members and many associates.
These findings open a vast
ne^r field of study in psychol
ogy and related subjects. For
centuries the Kosi crucians have
been pioneers in unlocking the
secrets of mans mind and
human behavior.

THE MYSTICAL TEACHINGS POINTING TOWARDS GOD

Your present life is but one step in your eternal progression towards God.
The teachings of Christ as presented in the Holy Bible must be studied and
lived to progress satisfactorily towards this great goal but there are mystical
teachings not in the Bible taught by Christ to his inner circle of followers for
their [use?...| The general public at the time and to this day has not evolved to
the point where they are ready to grasp and value these great teachings.
A few people from time to time intuitively feel that their spiritual progress is
dependent upon further teachings than those afforded by their churches. They
search for something they know not quite what. It is to these people the
Rosicrucians have something to offer.
The Rosicrucians are made up of deeply religious people who themselves are
studying and applying these great teachings of both Christ and mystical
leaders from the ages. They neither believe in hiding their light under a bushel
nor casting their pearls before swine. To the sincere seeker, they extend their
helping hand. If you are interested you may write for the free book, The
Mastery of Life, which will be mailed without obligation.
