The moral fight in the soul of a
man who has married out of his own
social station makes the central con-
flict in THE Barricade" at the Alca-
Ear. This man Is persuaded for a
while that love and his own best
interest lies in the direction of snob-
berry that even includes the snubbing
of life benefactor. but In grand
assertion of his manhood a crisis
comes that results in now view and
a new attitude toward his wife, who

The Barricade" is the false pride
that makes a barrier between this
man and his wife. 1t Is q social bar

strain that bars the possibility of en-
joying each other frankly and makes
him live a life untrue to his better

RUPERT HUGHES DANGEROUS
CURVE AHEAD" TRIANON

Rupert Hughes is very evidently
possessed of a remarkable knowledge
of human life and the ability to ex-
press it, as he does wonderfully in
Dangerous Curve Ahead at the
Trianon. This latest Hughes story is
more than a picture Of life; it is life
itself, and comes to the spectator as
an interesting lesson in realities. 1t
is a picture that not only interes is
to a thrilling extent. but must leave
any man or woman who sees it with
a keener appreciation of life and a
better sense of values
Hughes takes a simple, fluffy girl:
the best hing about her is that she
is just a regular girl, a girl still
capable of not only wanting a mate,
but of praying for one. This girl he
takes through the gamut of about
eight years of married life and the
experiences of joy. loneliness, rest
lessness and the constant urge for
pleasure that any woman feels.
The man, her husband, is painted
as a regular man, a man with the
usual ideals of home and standard
for womanhood that most worth-
while men have The best thing
about him is this very idealism, and
1t is this idealism that in the crisis
of the two lives comes against the
ambition and restlessness of the wife
and-7wins. 1t is all filled with that
charming sentiment and reverence
for the real and common things of
life that one expects of Rupert
Hughes, only nothing could be COM
mon painted with the reverence of
a master of human nature.
Helene Chadwick is the wife, with
Richard Dix playing the opposite role
of the husband.

Robertson Coles new production,

Petition
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS
Washington Bureau. The AgeSHerald,,

Washington, November 2S.-(Spe-
cial.)-The interstate commerce
commission took the position today
that despite the necessity for hasty
action on the petition of the Secre-
tary of War for rail and water rates
between the Mississippi warrior
service and connecting railroads. it
would be compelled to give the rail-
roads the usual 40 days in which 20
file responses to the presentations
of the secretary.
The commission, however, agreed
that it could consider the petition at
the expiration of the 40 days as 4
body rather than refer'it to- one mem
Der, which, in the event of ultimate
rejection, would necessitate review
by other members, and thus on
tribute to delay. Secretary Weeks
appeared reasonably well satisfied
with these conclusions.
As reported. the secretary petit
toned that railroads be required to
make joint rates with the barge serv-
ice lower than all-railroad rates and
that the commission set out def
nitay the share of revenue to which
the barge service would be entitled
in consequence of joint hauls. Such
action, he argued, was essential to
the continued existence of the barge
service. He holds that the treatment
of the river service by railroads has
not been equitable.

IN HIS HOME THURSDAY
Prominent Young Business Man Meets Untmely Death.
Had Resided In PocomOke About A Year.

Mr.. Lee M. Ray. Secretary ano
Treasurer of the Brilliant Manufac-
turing Company, sign manufacturers
of Philadelphia, was found in a dying
condition at his home on Second street
extended, in this city, shortly after
one o'clock Thursday afternoon. HI
had been shot in the head and Wills
there is a possibility of it being a case
of suicide still it has not been def
nitely established. Those most ia
miliar with Mr.. Rays life from all
angles hold to the belief that his pass
ing was of an accidental character
His life had always been one OF
brightness and sunshine; he had
nothing of a business, social or do
mestic character to worry him. The
fact is that no one seemed to enjoy
life more than Lee M. Ray.
Mr.. Ray formerly lived in Philadel-
phia, where the Brilliant Manufacture
ing Company operates it's principal
factories and has it's home office. Ap-
proximately year ago this company
acquired a factory in this city when
Mr.. Ray moved here and had just
completed the building of beautiful
home on Second sreet, where he and
his wife resided at the time of his
death.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Ray was
forced to go to New York to undergo
treatment in a hospital and was
away from home at the time of her
huband's demise. He had planned to
go to New York to see her on the 2.17
train Thursday afternoon. Robert
Stokes, his colored butler, had packed
his travelling bag for him and was
preparing lunch when he heard the
report of pistol. Rushing up stairs
he found Mr.. Ray prostrate upon his
bed with blood gushing from his
mouth and nostrils. A 25-calibre Colt
Automatic pistol lay on the bed be-
side him. DR.. r. Lee Hall was sum-
moned and arrived almost immediate
ly, but Mr.. Ray did not regain con-
seriousness and died in a few minutes
Edwin S. Hargis, coroner, was not
fled and Immediately impaneled ::
coroner's jury. After viewing tn
body and examining witnesses they
rendered verdict that "Lee M. Ray
came to his death as a result of bul-
let wound in the head; said bullet
coming from pistol in the hand or
hands of the said Lee M. Ray-very
probably accidently discharged"

i'll our town for a number of years, the
tables groaning under the weight of
the packages left in the home. Mr..
and Mrs. Bunce are generally beloved
by their flock and the act of Thurs
day evening was but a slight express
ion of the esteem in which they are
held. After unloading" the callers
enjoyed an evening of social inter-
course and at a seasonable hour left
the good minister and his wife to
check up the packages and store them
away for future reference.
