is being centered upon the late. Will
liam Vaughn Moody's operatic drama,

Moody's story deals with Ewes de-
sire to enter Paradise again. The play
opens showing Ewes longing for Eden.
She appeals to her sons to accompany
her TO the lost garden. but they, being
sons of the desert, have no interest in
their mothers desire. She then inn
perfumes Adam, but he has lost all
memory of Eden and fails to under
stand her longing. She, finally meets
Cain. who goes with her.
AS they reach the garden entrance
Cain waits outside the gates, while
Eve enters and seeks the tree repre-
senting the love Of God. At its foot
gives back her soul to its maker. Cain
rushes in and extending his hands
over her PROSTATE form sings the
Song of Eden" The interpolated music
is taken from the works of Beethoven,
Chopin and other great composers.
The patrons of the affair include many
prominent persons in society circles
fof Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda
and a large attendance is expected.

TROLLEY POLE TARGET
FOR AN AUTOMOBILE
Driver Hits Post to Prevent
Striking Another Machine

OAKLAND, Oct. 19.-Frank Larter
deliberately drove a Rambler automo-
bile into a trolley pole in. Melrose this
afternoon, wrecked the machine and
threw himself and three other occu-
pants into the road. Luckily they were
not seriously injured, but the machine
was wrecked.
All this occurred because Larter was
in great danger of colliding with an
other automobile, which had suddenly
turned in ahead of him. The driver
feared that the collision would result
more seriously than the chance he took
to prevent it.
In the machine with Larter were G.
II. Peppers, ]. c. Murray and J. H. Full
Ter, all of this city. The automobile
was running westward when the other
machine suddenly came up and ran in
directly ahead of Larter's auto. Larter
made a wide turn to the side of the
road to avoil collision, and smashed
into the trolley pole.
The auto turned over and spilled all
hands, but minor bruises and scratches
were the only injuries.
