SUFFERS PARALYSIS AND
FALLS DOWN STEPS
Mrs. Ralph Weber Escapes In
jury and Condition Is Now
Improved

Suffering a paralytic stroke on
Monday when she was leaving the A.
& P. store on Alder street, Mrs.
Ralph Weber, a socially prominent
lady residing near the H. Weber &
Sons green houses, southeast Of
Oakland, collapsed at the top of the
steps leading from the street to the
store room, and rolled down to the
walk in front of the store. Her en-
tire left side was paralyzed at the
time, however, she has regained use of
her left leg and the partial use of her
left arm, and at this time her condi-
ton is reported as favorable for a
complete recovery.
Mrs. Weber met with an automobile
accident in the year 1912, when she
received fracture of the skull, from
which time her physical condition has
been impaired to a slight extent, and
it is presumed that the stroke on
Monday was directly caused by that
accident.
Fortunately in her fall Mrs. Weber
was not seriously injured, and with
the exception of slight mark on her
body, there are no indications that
she suffered any severe blows.
On account of Mrs. Weber's pres
ent condition, a home talent play for
the benefit of the Oakland Grammar
school, which she was coaching, has
been indefinitely postponed.

BENEFIT PICTURE FOR
FIRE DEPT. TOMORROW
Five-Story Jump Into Net One
Of Thrills In Spectacular
Movie At The Maryland

A spectacular orphanage fire, which
excels in magnitude and thrills any
fire scene ever photographed, is one
of the thrilling sequences included in
'The Fire Brigade" the Metro Gold
wyn-Mayer special playing at the
Maryland Theatre, benefit of the Oak
land Volunteer Fire Department, yet
it is said to have been filled with re-
markedly little confusion.
Dozens of motion picture stars and
directors were present the night of
the fire at the studio, and all declared
it the most perfectly handled big
scene ever made.
Director William Night worked
with Fire Chief Ralph Scott of Los
Angeles and Chief Jay W. Stevens,
under whose supervision the blaze
was staged, in planning and filming
the fire. More than fifty motion pic
ture cameras were trained on the
scene to catch every possible nome
ment of the flames.
Being "four a1armer," the fire
was staged in four parts, each one
more spectacular than the former.
In the last blaze, every window in the
large five story building is flaming,
thirty-two pieces of fire apparatus
are working in the scene, and more
than five hundred people are before
the cameras. The spectacle on the
screen is one of amazing beauty with
twenty powerful streams of water
playing on the blaze.
Five-StOry Leap.
Perhaps the most thrilling event
in the picture comes when Charles
Ray leaps from the top of the build
ing into nine foot net held by fifteen
firemen on the ground. Many other
spectacular jumps and rope rescues
are negotiated from other windows
in the structure
1.-The Fire Brigade" received the
expert cooperation of the Internation-
al Order of Fire Engineers, in its
filming, and in return the studio is
giving large percentage of the net
proceeds to this Order for the carry
ing on of its fire prevention work.
Another portion is to be given to
various fire and sick benefits main
tanned by fire departments throughout
the country.
The cast of the big fire prevention
spectacle includes May McAvoy
Charles Ray, Holmes Herbert, Tom
O'Brien, Eugene Besserer, Warner P
Richmond, Bert Woodruff, Vivian Og-
den, Dewitt Jennings, Dan Mason
James Bradbury, Jr., Erwin Connolly
and others.

New Drug 60 Cure Malaria
GERMAN INVENTORS CLING TO
THE SECRET.

A SECRET" new drug which doctors
who have used it confidently believe will
prove an absolute and lasting cure for
malaria, far superior to Quinine, is now
being quietly distributed 10 mosquito
stricken tropical areas of the world from
the home of inventiOn-Germany.
Next month Germany will send large
supply to Portuguese East Africa, follow
Ing 1000 grains which was recently TAX
en- to Northern Rhodesia from London
by a surveying and exploring expedition.
The new drug is called PIasmochin
Compound.
Its discovery dates from 1925, when
the great German Dye Trust, in expert
menting to find a synthetic drug allied
to q|uinine but without its after-eifects,
produced pIasmochin or pIasmOquine
from he quiniue molecuIe.
Tried on Canaries.
Early trials were made on ~canaries,
Hundreds of which were infected with
the malaria parasite Of birds and finally
upon malaria patients.
Tie excellent results obtained cOnvinC-
ed RXperimenters working in England,
Germany, Italy. Algiers, and elsewhere
that a remarkable new method of steril-
Using the blood OF malaria carriers was
undoubtedly at hand.
Further work disclosed that better re-
suits were obtained by combining pIas-
mochin with small doses Of q%uinine, and
this is the basis of piasmochIn compound
With plasmochin alone there was a toxic
(poisonOus) phenomenon which some
times developed in patients with great
s~udGenuess.
Plasmochin compound was yesterday

LITTLE OF GOOD SEEN
 IN CAREER OF HARDEN
Newspapers Find Writings of Dead PubliCist Destructive and Not
 Forward Looking.

Berlin, Nov. 1.@P1The death of came on the eve of the projected re- appearance of Die Zukunft, the not ed paper in which Harden for so many years directed his shafts against the policies of the Emperor Wilhelm. This publication had been suspended for the last few years, but Harden was about to resume its issuance beginning tomorrow.
 A daughter living in Berlin said her father must have been ill only a few days, since she had heard form him recently.
 Harden's closing years found him lonesome man. Apparently dis appointed in the new Republican regime, he vigorously attacked the Republican parties of Germany. Aft CT an attack upon him in 1922 by a group of young men who resented his criticism, Harden spent most of the time in Holland and Switzerland
 The Nationalist papers today call him one of the baneful influences of the imperial era. The Socialist paper NorWaerts finds his work was mega tive and destructive. The name of his once famous weekly (Die Zu- kunft-the future) was a misnomer. From Harden nothing leads into the future,' say liberal Democratic or gans like the Nossiche Zeitung and the Tageblatt.

ROOSEVELT RAPS

Calls Him "BelIWether of the

New York. Nov. 1 LP)-Describing Governor Smith as the "bellwether of the Tammany flock" and assert Ing there is no such thing as a new Tammany," Col. Theodore Roose- welt has amplified the wholesale charges he made against New York democracy before the republican state convention at Rochester a month ago.
 Gov. Smith is making a state wide tour. chiefly in opposition 10 a re- publican plan to throw the guberna- torial elections into presidential years. The governor contends ac- ceptanCe of the proposal by a refer- endum vote next Tuesday will give the republicans an advantage and that state issues will become en- tangled in national elections.

Roosevelt. speaking last night in an upper west side public school. carried the fight to the governor and demanded that he answer or stand convicted" Governor smith, when apprised of the new attack, an- nounced he would defend his ad- ministration in an address at Tam many hall Thursday night. T believe it will be convincing"
 After addressing the absent gov-

 These papers know" he said, that it was the testimony volunteer ed by my brother at my suggestion. given within forty-eight hours of the time he received the information that gave the first great impetus to the investigation. They know that Senator Walsh, the man who de- serves the credit for exposing the oil deals, said in his final report that l had no part whatever in the negotiations resulting in the execu- ton of the leases.
 If there is an epithet or lampoon they did not apply 10 my father 1t was because they did not know it"
 Tn another address before a Negro gathering in a Harlem church, Col. Roosevelt declared the dem ocratic party kept the Negroes Of the south from voting, and called on hls au- diehce to ask Gov. Smith to make public demand for rectification of the condition. He added that if Gov. smith, as a candidate for the presi- dential nomination. did not do this the Negroes of Harlem should he off the governor and the demo- cratic party forever.

FASHION LEADERS
 AT OPERA OPENING
Brilliant Audience Hears "Tur- aDdOt" at the Metropolitan

New York. Nov. 1.--iP-Flaehing jewels bursts of music constant buzz sf conversation, and the uneasy shuffhng of standees during inter- mission were woven last night into the opening of the fortieth season of the Metropolitan Opera house.
 FaAion's leaders, in the famous dlamond horseshoe, their lavish gowns reflected in the gorgeous costumes of Puccini's Oriental fanasy "Turandot," had gathered to open the New York operatic and so- cia season. Outside the old building In Broadway. long queues of music loyers wound their tedious way to- ward the box office.
 For perhaps the last time the old opera house was opening with all the pomp and splendor that have at ended it's annual premieres since .sS3. Flashlights of photographers ooomed at the entrances as matrons and debutantes stepped from limou- sines. Crowds of curious spectators milled about blocking traffic, to witness the scene outside.
 People kept coming into the boxes long after Giacomo Laurivolpi had begun to WOO the cruel Turandot long after Maria Jeritza, the prima donna, had scorned his attentions.
 The first night, earlier than in other years, brought out brilliant audience for one of the most bril- liant spectacles in the Metropolitan repertoire.
 Fashions arbiters set the note for the season in ensembles which matched colors from gown to shoes and handbags. Jewels echoed the motif. diamond necklaces sparkled against diamond pins and brace lets Pearls cascaded from throats to bracelets of pearls. Huge ostrich fans waved lazily over the edges of the boxes. Cleaning arms and should CTS punctuated the blackness of the yawning auditorium.
 Next year a new opera house may be ready to stage the seasons open ing night. If it is ready and society locks to a new shrine, the old Metropolitan can be retired graceful ly in the knowledge that it's swan song was sung with all the accoutre- ments of it's most brilliant heyday.
