PLAN TO ESTABLISH
REIGN OF TERROR
WITNESS At SYNDIcALIsM TRIAL
eARES PLOT TO OVER
THROW GOVERNMENT.
Former I. w. W. Official Gives De.
tails Of a Widespread Program
Initiated BY Radicals Agains<
"Hated capitaIistie Class

Oakland.-What is believed to be
one of the most daring plots to over
throw authorized government and es-
tablish a reign of terror and revolu-
ton that has been uncovered since the
red menace sprang up in the United
States was barred on Tuesday at the
syndicalism trial of John c. Taylor
before Superior Judge James G..
Quinn.
Called by the prosecution to testify
against Taylor. Edward Alverson, for
mer |. w. w. official and active i'm the
organization of the communist labor
party, gave details of widespread
program initiated by the radicals of
Oakland.
Murder, arson, abduction and assas-
sination of members of the sO-called
hated" capitalistic class, were includ-
ed in the plot outlined by the "reds"
to establish a system of government
favorable to their ends, according to
Alverson's testimony.
A dozen leading men of affairs, in
Guiding politicians, public officials and
bankers in Oakland, were named by
the witness as persons selected for
Imprisonment as soon as the cam
paign Of terrorism was launched.
Alverson also declared that scores of
other people Of the east bay cities had
been singled out, but that he was un-
able to recall all of their names.
Banks were to be seized and their
vaults looted, the spoils to be used for
furthering the radical program; news
paper plants dynamited; police sta
tons taken over and armories manned,
AlversOn related.
The plans were so infinitely out
lined, Alverson said, that only one east
bay newspaper plant was to be left
standing once the reign of terror was
inaugurated. This publication was
scheduled to be taken over by the
revOlutiOnists for dissemination of
their propaganda.
"A red guard" nodded along the
lines of the famous organization in
soviet Russia and turbulent Germany
was planned, the witness disclosed,
and with this military organization to
wage campaign of anarchy and
bloodshed another group would take
over the reins Of the civil government,
according to Alverson's statements.

JUDGE TAKES SLAM
AT THE LEVER ACT
HOLD THAT THE PRoFITEERINc
SECTION OF MEASURE is
UNcONSTITUTlONA
Grants Injunction to Sugar Brokers
Restraining Federal Officials from
Issuing Warrants for Arrest Of
Alleged Profiteers.

Philadelphia.-That section of the
Lever law, commonly known as the
food control BILL" which makes 1t an
offense for merchant to charge "un-
just or unreasonable prices" was held
to be unconstitutional by United States
District Judge Thompson on June 8.
The ground for invalidating section
four of the act, Judge Thompson
holds, is because its description of "un-
just and unreasonable prices" is vague,
indefinite ana uncertain and in viola
ton of the sixth amendment to the
constitution guaranteeing any defend
ant the right to full information of the
nature of the charge against him.
In declaring the section unconstitu-
tional, the court granted an injunction
to Lamborn 4 Co.. sugar brokers of
New York, restraining United States
Attorney McAvoy and other federal
officers from issuing warrants for the
arrest of eleven members Of the firm
on charges Of profiteering.

Down on Streets Of Paris.
Paris.-Essad Pasha, head of the
Albanian delegation in Paris and for
mer provisional president of Albania,
was assassinated here Sunday. Three
shots were fired at him by an Alban-
Ian student, two Of which took effect.
Essad Pasha was emerging from the

was an Albanian student. Without

wild. Essad died shortly afterward.

MOORE'S GARDEN
Thomas Meighan Shines.

Inaugurating the season OF l920-21
Moore's Garden Theater, completely
renovated and with many improve
nlents, opened its doors yesterday y
with a capacity audience in attend
snce.
Edward Peples play. ''Tne Prince
Chap" in which Cyril Scott appeared
so successfully for several years, as
transformed by William C. DeMille
into a screen comedy of more than
ordinary appeal, is presented by Para
mount-Artcraft as the opening spe-
cial of the year. The role OF the
sentimental hero is played by Thomas
Meighan, remembered most favorably
here for his work in THE Miracle
Man." and MALE and Female" both
OF which were also originally present
cd at the Garden.
The plot concerns William Peyton.
a sculptor. who goes to Soho to win
fame and fortune, leaving Alice. his
fiancee, behind hirn. At the death
of a poor model, Peyton and his artist
chums become the guardians OF
Claudia. her little child.
Alice, hearing ugly stories of
Claudia's origin. comes to the studio
in Peyton's. absence. Through inno-
cent words of the chlid's a misunder-
standing arises, and Peyton and
Alice becomes estranged, she marry
ing another man. Crushed, the man
finds solace in the love of little Clau-
dia. Years pass and Claudia, grown
to womanhood, learns to love Peyton.
Alice again enters their lives. but
is unable to revive Peyton's love.
Finding his heart swept clean OF
bitter memories, Peyton awakens to
his love for Claudia and both are
made happy and contented with the
promise of the future.
Mr.. Meighan has role which Of
fers this popular young actor splen-
did opportunities for that quality of
characterization for which he has be
come famous. Of which he takes full
advantage with the result that his
present appearance will undoubtedly
take front rank with any of his
other recent roles in point of public
favor and dramatic strength.
The entire cast seen in support is
of superior quality. each member
being an accurate type for the role
allotted. The list includes such we'll
known and popular artists as Lila
Lee. Kathlyn Williams, Casson Fer
guson, Ann Forrest, May Giracco,
Theodore Kosloff and others.
Subsidiary features round out the
bill, the Christie comedy, "Out for the
Night" starring Eddie Barry, being
enthusiastically received, while the
other subjects, including an exclusive
presentation of the Fox News, are
all up-to-the minute and interesting.
Director Claude V. Burrows, of the
Garden Orchestra, has surrounded
the showing with an orch estral in
depreciation that is far above the
average, the overture for the week,
De Koven's my Fairy Prince" being
especially we'll rendered.
