RAILROAD RAIDERS
REST ON COLD FACTS
Secret Service Experiences at
Bottom of the New Helen
Holmes Series.
FINE BITS OF PICTURE

Secret service departments of the
transcontinental railway companies of
the United States have furnished the
government secret service authorities
with minute information as to men
aces involved for railway properties
in existing international complica-
tons, and, as result, thousands Of
American soldiers are guarding the
bridges, tunnels and vital points of
communication from one end of the
country to the other.
4 In fact, the railway secret service
organizations of the country consti-
tue in the present crisis one OF the
strongest protective arms of the ma
tional organization, and for this rea-
son 1.-THE Railroad Raiders" a new
fifteen chapter Signal Mutual rail-
way drama for weekly release is of
especial interest, since it deals with
the quick action Of the railway secret
service forces in hunting down marau-
ders.
Helen Holmes the Star.
Miss Helen Holmes, who is starred
in the new chapter play, is the most
famous railroad star" in the world,
her popularity in "The Girl and the
Game" "A Lass of the Lumberlands,"
Whispering Smith" and other dramas
of the rail, has a better chance to
display her extraordinary talents in
THE Railroad Raiders" than in any
previous play in which she has ap-
peared.
The story of 1.-THE Railroad Raid
ers" was written by Frank Spearman,
foremost railroad novelist of the
world. Its plot involves the pursuit
and breaking UP of band of con-
spirators preying. upon railroads under
the direction of shrewd and daring
heads. The ways and means of the
secret service in running the wolves
to earth provide dramatic opportuni-
ties of which Miss Holmes is not
slow to avail herself.
Some Regular Pictures.
The astonishing perfection to which
motion photography has been brought
by intensive experiment is we'll ex-
emplihed in "The Railroad Raiders"
The spectacle of an express train
rushing through the night at sixty
mile speed, lights aglow throughout
IT'S sinuous length, is one that grips
the imagination, and in "The Rail-
road Raiders trains pass each other
in the night frequently enough to
fulfill the exigencies of the plot, which
calls for the boarding of trains by
Miss Holmes and her cohorts of the
service at all sorts of obscure noun
tain way stations.
Those who have witnessed the SEN
sational performances of Miss Holmes
in her previous screen appearances
will welcome the opportunity to see
her in this far more pretentious pro-
duction.

Mother and Daughter
In the Same Picture

"They only do it in the movies" is
the caustic comment OF the high
brow when the screen actress is
forced by the. exigencies of the script
and the agencies of double expos
ure" to play herself and her own
mother in the same picture. Ella
Hall has done plenty of dual char
.acterizations in her time. Her last
-Bluebird, "Polly Redhead," was a
film Of this kind; but her next, "a
Jewel in Pawn which shows at the
Hipp theater today and Monday, will
show departure from the usual
thing.
Her own really truly mother will
play the role OF her screen parent,
and if you miss the introduction of
the characters you will know it at
once, for there never was stronger
likeness between two women. Ella
Hall is just her mother over again,
only twenty years younger.

Theodore Roberts Couldn't.
Pick EN- When at Tia Juana

IF you want to know what makes
Theodore Roberts so mean in The
Cost of Hatred" nodded Kathlyn
Williams, with mock seriousness, 81
can tell you all about it. It's because
he lost all his money on the races at
Tia Juana that he developed this
more than usual meanness.
while we down in old Mexico to
make the scenes for this production
Mr.. Roberts would always get
through his work as soon as possible
and then HE himself to the race
track at Tia Juana. He didn't know
anything about the horses running
there, but promptly wagered large
sums, and as promptly lost them. As
soon as he had spent all his money
he was perfectly happy and enjoyed
his work.
1--WE had some very exciting times
in Mexico. OF course, we had per-
mission to take the picture down
there and motored into the interior
in the morning and back into the
United States at night, because in
spite Of the fact that we were pro-
tected by the government, it is not
quite safe for an American to stay
down there too long.
another great trouble we had was
in finding horse for Mr.. Roberts to
ride. You know he is a big man and
when those little Mexican ponies
spied him they took to their hoofs
and fed far into the interior. We
were delayed several days before we
could find a horse brave enough to
submit to Mr.. Roberts as a rider"
Just at this moment the subject
of the conversation appeared and en-
ticed Miss Williams into game OF
chess, so further secrets of his vii
lainy could not be divulged.

Roberts will be seen co-starred in

One Way to Provide Thrills
Demanded by Movie Patrons

There was an echo of war near
New Rochelle when Frederick Sulli-
van, Tanhouser director, blew up a
200-foot trench with hundred
pounds OF dynamite. Mr.. Sullivan
took both closeups and distant
shots" OF the explosion and the
heavy charge OF dynamite was to in
sure big show for the distant cam
era man. Charles w. Hoffman
studied all the literature he could find
on boomproof shelters before taking
the picture, when Love Was Blind"
in which Florence LaBadie is to ap-
pear at the Empress theater Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday.
The trench was blown up as part
of a vision which Miss LaBadie as a
society belle is supposed to conjure
up after hearing of the exploits of a
designing adventurer who advertised
himself as an honorably discharged
soldier.
About four dozen assorted dunn
mics went up with the trench and the
100 pounds of dynamite--and Mr..

JUDGES DEcrs1oN nsTAALWHHs
PRECEDENT THAT NAY MA"
LooPHonE IH Law.
xules That Man Carrying Liquor
Through tho State in rnterstats
Commerce Doesn't Violate Law.

A new liquor law precedent was es-
tablished Thursday by Judge F. H.
Napier, in the Wayne county CIRCUIT
court, when he ruled that man may
carry any quantity of liquor through
West Virginia on a common carrier.
|. provided he does not leave the carrier.
The ruling was in tho case Of Eugene
Black who purchased ticket In Ohio
to Marion. Va, and boarded Norfolk
& Western passenger train with SIX
quarts Of liquor. At Williamson ne
was arrested on John Doe warrant
and charged with violating tho state
prohibition law. which forbids bring
Ing more than one quart OF liquor per
month into West Virginia. A justice
Of tho peace sentenced Black to go
days in Jail and fined him 500. His
release was obtained through writ
of habeas corpus issued by Judge Napier.
The case has attracted considerable
interest throughout the state. and par
ticularly in this section. in view OF the
fact that five Pennsylvania men are
now being held In tho Hancock county
fail under similar circumstances. These
men recently purchased railroad tickets
in Pennsylvania and went to Mtngo,
Ohio, for liquor. They were arrested
on the return trip while passing through
Hancock county. and sentenced to jail.

That Judge Napter's decision. II sus-

laws. is said to be certain. Regarding
the Black case. Prosecuting Attorney c.
W. Ferguson raised the point that re-
lease Of tho. man on a habeas corpus
writ would open up a wide avenue for
violations Of the prohibition law. 1t
was pointed out that man could buuy
liquor at Ironton. o.. and buy ticket to
Stone. KY. and alight at any point In
West Virginia Judge Napier in his rul@
ing discussed this suggestion with the
statement that the moment the passen-
ger aNghted from the train he became q
violator Of the West Virginia law. AS
long. however, as he remained on tho
train, Judge Napier ruled. he did not
violate the state law. provided he had
q through ticket as evidence Of his in
tent to travel through the state into an
ether state. Judge Napier held that
liquor as personal baggage vas anal
agous to shipments Of liquor by freight

commerce provided the consignment
originates in q wet state and Is con-
signed to wet state. Whether the

vanced for the secretary's plan Is that
it would protect small investors. Sur

after the ways and means committee

This action was facilitated by the

The refusal Of the operators to abide
by the agreement Of the coal committee
and participate in the hearings was an
nounced by a committee Of operators
who read a report reached after a three
days conference. They charged that the
former committee had specified that their
action was only personal and declared
that Governor Eowden had been precip-
itated in announcing that the coal men
had agreed to the price fixing plan. They
further held that the food bill gives the
federal government full control over in

ment they would be liable for violation
not only Of the fuel and food bill. but
of the Sherman antitrust act.
