THEOSOPHICAL SPLIT.
THE LEADBEATER CHARGES. SVDKKV. May 23. Matters in connection with tlie Tliposopliical split are waxing warmer. Several newspapers have taken the matter up, ami arc publishing much i-orreaponde.nre and comment. Public interest is widely aroused. The battle cllielly rapes round resurrected charges against Bishop Loadbeater, of alleged pernicious methods of training boys. Mrs. flesant states that t)ir charges were inquired into year? ago, and Bishop Lcadbeater was declared innocent. Opponents dispute this view and demand that as head of the Theosophical Society Mrs. Bcsant should conduct a full investigation into the allegations.
Mr. A. B. Peddington has resigned the presidency of the Public Questions Society of Sydney Cniversity. as he is unable to agree to an invitation to Mr*. Besant to address the students. In a letfer he explained that the society was in search of truth, and as Mrs. Besant. refused an inquiry into Mr. Leadbeater's career she was obviously out of her element and disentitled to be beard by a society existing for the pursuit of truth. (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
