Bank Official Kills Himself

After Shooting Woman and

Firing at Policemen

Apisto l battle with the police ina darkened Rosicrucian templeyesterday morning ended when amiddleaged bank official shothimself witftf*one of his two pistolsin front of the altar. A few min-utes earlier he had wounded a wo-man volunteer worker as she fledfrom a threatened suicide Daet.

The shooting occurred in theeighthfloor lodge and templequarters of the Rosicrucian Orderat 250 West Fiftyseventh Street,

between Broadw ay and Eighth

Avenue. The dead man was CharlesM. Liske, 52 years old, of 180 Sum-mit Avenue, Hackensack, N. J.The woman was Miss Suzanne tenBosch, 39 years old, of 4410 Mac

Nish Stree t, Elm hurst, Queens.Miss ten Bosch told detectives

that she had known Liske for tenyears. She said th at they hadagreed on Friday night to breakoff their relationship. She wasquestioned in Roosevelt Hospital,where she was reported in goodcondition with a flesh wound in

he r rig ht , thigh.According to a police reconstruc-tion Of the affray, Miss ten Bosch,a nurse who does secretarial workfor the order, was alone in thelocked office shortly before 11A. M. when Liske came to the doorcarrying a brown leather attache

case. He had previously tele-phoned her from the'lobby.

After she led him to a receptionroom overlooking the street, hetook two pistols (a long barreled.38 caliber target and a 7mm.Mauser automatic) from the case,saying, You are going to die first,then Ill kill myself."

No, I dont want to die, Missten Bosch cried and tried to dis-arm him. One of the pistols wasdischarged during the ensuing

struggle. Miss ten Bosch brokeaway. Liske fired three shots ather as she fled, one as she randown a short hallway in the officeand two in the main corridor.

Dr. Irwin Levy, a dentist, hear-ing the gunfire and screams, ranfrom his office at the far end ofthe corridor and prevented herfrom returning to the Rosicrucianoffice. He told the police he sawLiske standing in the receptionroom, pointing a pistol at his ownhead.

Meanwhile, the police were sum-moned by Joseph Splain, an insur-ance broker with offices adjoiningDr. Levy's.

Hundreds of persons gathered inthe street as a fleet of patrol carsand a police emergency truck,equipped with tear gas and rifles,rushed to the scene.

Sgt. Alfred Chappel and Patrol-men William Gilroy and RobertWhite of the West FiftyfourthStreet station located Liske in thewindowless temple room by the

clicking of an apparently jammedpistol. Leaving Patrolman White in the

reception room to cover a possibleattack from the offices, which liebetween the temple and the frontwindows, Sergeant Chappel andPatrolman Gilroy called to Liske

to throw out his pistol and surder. t

They heard him mutter a rfrom the temple, in which a green lamp was burning, butonly audible word was kill.0

They took positions in an investibule leading to the templetrolman Gilroy fired twice intodarkness. Three rapid shots returned. Serge ant Chappel twice. There was a pause, thsingle shot from within the tem

the sound of someone falling awas over. / .

Liske was found lying onfloor, the two pistols nearby, a contact wound in his left ple.

The detectives said the fatallet apparently came from the Mser and from all indicationsshot himself. This was confirby Ass istant Medical ExamAaron Coblenz afte r examiningbody at the scene.

which creates color patternsthrough sound vibrations was thehighlight of the recent interna-

tional convention of Rosicruciansat San Jose, attended by Mrs.Landon Byran of 2955 Lugoavenue.

Mrs. Byran. reported on theinstrument, called "Cosmolux" bythe inventor, Lester L. Libby. Anelectrical engineer, Mr. Libby istechnical director of the Rosicru-cian science museum.

Without employing keys or re-lays, Cosmolux takes vibrationsf r o m a pickup microphonethrough Thy ratron tubes. A cir-cuit illuminates a series of lightscorresponding to the musical scale.Phonograph records played be-fore tho instrument produce a'color pattern similar to the moodof the composition.

Mr. Libby said he contemplatesno commercialization of Cosmo-lux, but said it could be improvedto the extent that musical con-certs may be accompanied by col-

or correspondences thrown on ascreen behind the orchestra._____ ______________ .

Santa Cruzans View Cosmolux 'Color InMusic' Instrument

A new instrument called the Cos-molux produces beautiful color pat-terns upon a screen in response tomusic or any sounds made beforeits pickup microphone.

In contrast with several other methods or machines which haveattempted to convert sound intocolor, the Cosmolux does not em-ploy any keys or relays, but takesthe vibrations of a voice or instru-ment directly and, through Thyratron tubes and a unique circut,actuates colored lights accuratelycorresponding to the musical scale.

A definite sound or combinationof sounds always produces thesame color pattern on the screen,and pitch and volume affect thepattern uniformly and to a mostsensitive degree. Any phonographlecord, for instance, played before the Cosmolux, produces on thescreen a color pattern which rep-

resents the mood of the composi-tion.The Cosmolux was demonstrated

to over a thousand delegates of theInternational Convention of theRosicrucians at San Jose, Califor-nia, held recently. The instrumentwas developed by Lester L. Libby,an electrical engineer who holdsseveral patents in the field of elec-tronics, and who is Technical Di-rector of the Rosicrucian ScienceMuseum.

Libby explained the functions ofthe instrument to a group of mem-bers from Santa Cruz, includingMrs. Margaret Goodman, MartenDeJonge, Mr. and Mrs. WilfredMaxwell, 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 combination 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 instrument, called the

Cosmolux. produces color patternsupon a screen in response to musicor any other sound picked up onits microphone.

Ray W. Oakes, loca] district com-missioner, said the new instrumentwas demonstrated before delegatesat a recent Kosicrucian conventionin California.

People with pretty voices arelikely to hrrve a pretty color pattern.

Tbe Cosmolux uses principleswell known in physics, but in anew combination. Most previousinstruments which attempted to cor-relate sound with color electricallysucceeded in doing so in a range of

but one oc tave of th e musical scale.The Cosmolux reproduces three fulloctaves.

revival in Germany. MichaelMaier, one time officer of the 'fraternity,, says the year 1413was the year in which the great-est revivals of activity occurred.

The name of the organization

is derived from its original sym-bol, the cross with'a single redrose in i t s . center. While the early Rosicrucians gave time to the study of alchemy, the prin-ciples were not confined to the changing of gross metals .intogold, but of the grosser ele-ments of human nature intohigher, spiritual qualities.

It is known generally through*ovit the world as the AncientMystic Order of Rosae Crucis,often abbreviated to the initialsAMORC. It is non sectarian andin a broad sense non religious,inasmuch as its teachings in-clude the practical sciences to a greater extent than principlesof.relig ious thought.

EDITOR.Xnd ependent Journal:

It has been my pleasure to at-

tend the International conven-

tion of the Rosierueian Order

(AMORC), from which, T haveJust returned. There I witnessedome truly remarkable discov-

eries in the fields of sound, color,and emotion.

These demonstrations were puton before an audience of nearly1000 persons and the latest elec-

tronic and musical devices wereused. If there were any questionin my mind concerning the ex-

istence of a human aura, the sci-

entific demonstrations presentedoon dispelled them.

The enclosed notes were taken m the occasion of the particu-lar demonstration. Im sure they would be of interest to many peo-

ple if printed in our newspaper.

a lengthv article from whicthese excerpts were taken:

. . According to Erwin Wa

ermeyer. technical director of th

Rosierueian Science Museum aCan Jose, all substances . . . s

science has now determined . .confirming early Rosierueian hy

potheses . . . all substance

whether animate or inanimathave an aura . . .

The aura ls nothing more tha

an electromagnetic radiatiofrom a substance which it sur

rounds like the magnetic fielabout a magnet. It is this fiel

according to recent theorie

that we as human beings ar

constantly sensitive to and interpret as likes or dislikes, repulsive or attractive sensation

The aura, like the familia

force we call electricity, is novisible to us nor*do we ever se

a persons aura itself . . . but w

do see what the aura produce

Just as we see the light or powe

produced by electricity. Durin

the convention demonstrationhuman subjects were asked to siin front of various colored lights

Against this background, th

magnetic field of the individua

altered the light waves from th

The Supreme Grand Lodge ofthe International Rosicrucian Or-der. AMORC, has authorized theformation of a local chapter toserve its members in Santa Cruzand vicinity. According to PaulJ. Veatch. i 15 Trinity street , localspokesman for the order, the newchapter makes a total of morethan 125 Rosicrucian chapters inthis jurisdiction.

The newly appointed local offi-cers are: Paul J. Veatch. master;Mrs. Nora Delon, secretary, andWiiliam Wilcox, guardian.

Veatch states the Rosicrucianorder is not a religious society,but is a philosophical movementdevoted to the study of the scienc-es and the laws of nature as foundexpressed in man. The tradition-al history of the order places itsestablishment in 1350 B.C. during

the reign of Amenhotep IV. Phar-aoh of Egypt. The order first cameto America in 1694 a.m. and set-tled near what now is FairmountPark in Philadelphia.

In San Jose, the Rosicrucian or-

der. patron of art and science,maintains a science museum, a

planetar ium, an Egyptian. Or ien-tal museum and an extensive artgallery. It promotes field and camera expeditions to archaeologicalsites in remote corners of theworld.

RosicruciansDemonstrateColor Dimensions

San Jose.A new, vast field ofcolor dimension was opened lastweek to the nearly 1000 delegatesto the annual convention of theRosicrucian order (AMORC). In-ternationally represented, membersof this fraternal, philosophical order witnessed five days of lecturesand demonstrations in the fieldsof art, science and philosophy atthe orders headquarters in SanJose.

Erwin Watermeyer, technicaldirector of the Rosicrucian Sciencemuseum and laboratories, conduct-ed the experiments, pointing out

that colors are caused by certaindefinite rates of vibration of veryhigh frequency. Such vibrations,when reaching the human eye,arouse within the brain definitecolor sensations. Through severalexperiment*, using human subjects,Watermeyer explained that thereexist three fundamental powers

which colors may exert: They maexcite or arouse the objective mindthey may calm or tranquilize it, orlastly, they may subdue or suppress. Colors which excite the minare red and its neighboring colorsuch as orange and yellow. Color

which calm or quiet the mind commence with yellow and continuon into the green and bluegreenA subduing and suppressing influence upon the objeetivemind is eerted by blue, violet and purple.

In another experiment, Watemeyer showed that when a whitlight a mixture of all colors shines upon a red object, the oject will look red. On the othe

hand, when red light only shineupon the same red object, it wistill look red. But if green or blulight shines upon the red objecthen the red object will look blac

Why Are We Here?Are We Here F*r a

Definite Duty? ,

Many a time have you notpaused to wonder, Why?**

Why you are as you are.and others are doctors, law-

yers. bankers, clerks, house-wives, and so forth?

Why some are prosperousand healthy, others in direneed? Why we are called equal, when such inequalitiesexist?

Why are we permitted tomake the mistakes for which we must suffer penalties!Why does God, Divinity, or

our Creator, whichever term you are familiar with, permitus to make such errors? Whymust we learn through suffer-ing for a mistake! Why are we not shown how to prevent the mistake?

Why do 'God and naturemathematically and system-atically decree the existence and manifestation of eve r y thing here on this plane, and

still we ourselves apparentlydo not know why we are here on Ihis earth plane!

Why. if we are here for adefinite purpose or act, do wenot return again to be able to complete our duty and pur-

pose on this plane! Perhaps we do.

These questions the church-es. universities, and science in general, attempt to an-swer; but still there is muchabout these questions thatcauses the average person toponder, and apparently he isleft without adequate infor-mation. Certainly someone must know the answer andreason,

AMORC. the internationalRosicrucian Order, is com-posed of men and women in-terested in questions of thisnature, in selfevolution, and'in securing the logical an-swers to these questions.Therefore, they can show vowhow, to your satisfaction, youmay secure the knowledgethat lies behind the veil.
