RED PLOT CRUSHED BY PARS OFFCALS Plans for Giant Demonstra- tion Aug. 1 Are Balked by Drastic Action. By Radio to Tha Star. PARIS, July 27.—Fmris citizens learned with astonishment and some | feeling of alarm during these days that a plot against state security had been fostered quite near them in the city's, suburbs of Clichy and Saint-Ouen,! which are strongholds of Communist | forces. 4 | The outbreak of Reds against the| capitalist regime has been planned for August 1, the fifteenth anniversary of France's entrance into the great war.| Instructions brought from Moscow | special delegates to the French Com- munist headquarters ordered all the workers to walk out of the factories on | that day and march in huge proces- sions along the chief Paris streets sing- ing the “Internationale,” carrying large posters with the Bolshevist slogans. A manifestation on the first of August was to make up for the failure of the first of May demonstration, which M. ‘Tardieu, minister of interior, and M. Chlappe, prefect of police, had broken up. Load of Evidence Seized. But this time the adepts of the Third Internationale have not been luckier than three months ago, and Parisians have learned with reiief that a few days before the manifestation police forces had raided the office of the Communist newspaper, Humahite, and arrested the editor, charged with making propaganda against the state, and collected a loadful of documents attesting that a Communist plot had been fomented against the republic. Guided by the information gathered at the Communist headquarters, the police were able a couple of days later to make another haul at the Paris suburbs of Clichy and Villeneuve and St. Georges, where the millitant Com- munists have been convoked to pre- pare the 1st of August demonstration. In one night, 95 pariisans of the Soviet regime, among whom 11 were women and several were foreigners, were ar- rested and taken into Sante and Saint- Lazare Prisons. As the police reaped more Commun- ist documents—several lorries were filled with them—they were able to find more clues to the Communist scheme which appeared to be a regular plan to mobil- ize the workmen against the existing state and try and seize power on the war anniversary day. Tardieu Adopts Drastic Step. Seeing the situation to be mfuch more serious than it. was ever expected, M. Tardieu, who is now called in Paris the “most energetic man in France,” de- cided to take drastic measures. He convoked into a war council at the ministry of justice all the higher police officials and putting their heads to- gether with the other great foe of Com- munism, Prefect Chiappe, drew a plan for shattering entirely the bolshevic organization in Paris and the suburbs. An order was issued to arrest all members of the central Communist committee, and Dudilieux, sccretary general of the Unified General Confed- eration of Labor, was put into prison with another score of important leaders, Police raided headquarters of the Com- munist Youth of Peasant Workmen's | Bank International and raided the pri- vate apartments of all the reporters of Humanite, Forty Foreigners Banished. About 40 foreign bolshevists who had | Been tound carrying propaganda pamph- lets were immediately taken to the fron- tier and expelled from France. The only important Red leaders who failed to get into Sante Prison were the com- rades of Monmousseau and Bemard, as they had hurriedly fled from France and took refuge in Moscow. After a few days of such drastic ac- tion by the police, with M. Chiappe su- pervising personally all the raids, con- fusion became complete in the Red ranks. All plans for a monster demon- stration were shattered, as its organizers were jailed, and it is not likely now that any manifestations will take place on August 1, although appeals are still made by Humanite for workmen to Jeave their factories an hour ahead of time on that day in order to protest against the “government’s violence.” M. Tardleu’s credit with the radical parties will certainly suffer as a resuit of his | energetic action, but he will become a most popular man among Paris bour geois middle class. (Copyright, 1929.) IS ACUTE IN SOUTH WALES SECTION Hundreds of Girls Are Stranded as | Youths Beek Fortunes in America. ABERTILLERY, Wales (#).—The man problem has become acute in many com- munities in this South Wales mining ! district. The youth of the country apparently | prefer to make their fortunes in Amer- | ica or the dominions, with the result that hundreds of girls are stranded. Abertillery has been particularly hard | hit, and the number of maids so far ex- ceeds that of bachelors that the girls themselves are contemplating emigra- tion to places where positions and men are more plentiful. In addition to the | large number of unmarried girls there are 500 widows in Abertillery, the ma- Jority under 30. CRACK ON JAW ENDS EIGHT SUICIDE TRIALS Pianist Saved by Officious Bystand- ers Every Time He Tried to End Life, NICE, France (#).—To an Italian pianist, Antoine Gagliero, goes the world's record for perseverance in try- ing to commit suicide. He made eight attempts within 12 hours, but could not manage to kill himself. Making three attempts to drown him- self, twice throwing himself before auto- mobiles, once trying to shoot himself with a water-logged revolver, once try- ing to cut his wrist with a dull table knife, Gagliero was saved by officious bystanders every time. ‘Taken to the police station, he tried to obtain a detective's revolver. The mnearest he came to death was when the officer floored him with a right to the Jaw, Rites for J. J. Marshall. ‘WARRENTON, Va., July 27 (Special). —The funeral of Jamés J. Marshall, 69 years old, a descendant of Chief Justice Marshall, was held from Leeds Church this afternoon. Mr. Marshall was_a native of this county and a teacher in Marshall High School. He is survived by his widow, who was Miss Hullihen of Staunton, Va., and the following children: Mrs. George 8. g | George E. Hamiltori, Washington Lodge, | New Trial Ordered Trial of Richard J.

SHAW’S LETTERS SHOW TRIALS AS MOTORIST Lights High for S8igns, but Fine for Seeing Policeman in Trees, He Wrote. LONDON (N.AN.A.).—In a collection of Bernard Shaw’s letters up for auction recently ample proof is given that he, like the rest of us, has had his trials and triumphs as a motorist. Apparently he began to learn to drive in 190 Anyway it was about that time that he complained of the way his | accelerator pedal stuck. “To get it up you stoop and pluck it like a mushroom,” he te. Of that early car he said also: “Under these | circumstances the car should have a pair of shafts and a horse.” Dealing with faults of his car, he went on: “The placing of the acetylenes is beyond profanity...though they throw the light too high for signpost reading they are admirable for detect- ing policemen concealed in trees.” On motor insurance Mr. Shaw wrote in 1908: “I have been learning driving ...mostly in the Strand and Regent street to the detriment of my nerves and the danger of traffic generally.” Of his chauffeur he said: “He is very like Gwenn, who played the chauffeur in my ‘Man and Superman’ nd his wages (505) are nearly as high.” In the same sale was a first edition copy of “Widower's Houses,” witl author’s note pasted on the titl First and Worst Play.” — PLAN APPLE SHOW.
