danger" a new play. opened at
he Playhouse for a three days en-
gagement for its premiere. It is a
well-acted play dealing with the
sex subject more daringly than VIII
mington audiences have been ac-
rustomed TO. The splendid per-
sonality Of II. B. Warner fitted him
well for the stellar role Yester-
days performance marked Mr.
Warmers return to the speaking
stage after an absence OF two years,
during which he has been in photo
plays. In addition to Mr.. Warner,
the cast includes two other movie"
stars. Miss Marie Con. who appear
ed as Mrs. Scorroer. the leading
woman, and Miss Faire Binney. who
was the lovable little maid Eliza
beth.
The play IS presented in three
acts The scenes are laid in Eng
land
The story OF the play is told in a
frankly interesting way-too frank
ly. perhaps. at times The story
centers around a man who marries
a woman because he has been fas-
cinated by her beauty. He passion
ately loves her. AS they begin their
honeymoon the wife rejects his
kisses and caresses, says she has no
sympathy with the old fashioned.
family-loving women. She unfolds
her views OF sex individualism, and
reveals her aspirations only to be a
social climber with a seat in Parlia-
ment for her husband, who Is OF
high family. as a goal. Following
three years life OF unhappiness,
caused by the barrier erected by the
wife because Of her unconventional
views, the husband who Is on the
point of suicide, suddenly finds real
love and happiness with his secre-
tary, up to that time woman with
many old-fashioned ideas, which
without hesitation are swept aside.
The last scene shows the husband
and the secretary located In a coy
little cottage where the husband
spurns tho ambitious and scheming
wife who comes to try TO lure him
back 10 her and 10 a career for him
seff.
Mr. Warner, as John Fftzroy
Scorrter. was wei received as tn,
husband HIS pleasing manner and
voice. and his strong acting grippet
the audience. Miss Con. as Mrs
ecorrier, beautiful 10 behold will
all her scheming and bizarre phil
osophy. gave a splendid portraya
Of that part Miss Kathelene Mac
rDonell. as Mary ubbard. the secre
tary. revealed herself as most capat
bic. especially in her scene where
she averted the suicide OF Scorrier
ana also in the last act. Faire Bin
ney. the maid, was also another
great favorite. The remainder OF
the supporting company is excel
lent. especially Leslie Howard as
the breezy Percy.
The play win be seen again to-
night and tomorrow night, with a
matinee tomorrow afternoon. The
production leaves Wilmington direct
for New York, which city doubtless
win welcome It as another Of the
so-called -sex plays"

Howard Phenix Admits He and
Three Other Men Derailed
Illinois Central Flyer.

Paducah, KY, Nov. 5.-Illinois
Central railroad detectives today
are searching for two alleged train
Wreckers.
Howard Phenix and Ira Anderson
are under arrest and the former has
confessed that the wTecking of the
fast mphis-Louisville passenger
train on the night of May %, just
outside of the city limits here, was
the result of a plot to rob the ex-
press car of a shipment of 100000
Phenix and Anderson, Paducah
youths, were arrested yesterday,
Phenix here and Anderson in s..
Louis, after detectives had work
ed for almost six months on the
case. Phenix signed an affidavit
duplicating himself. Anderson and
two men not yet apprehended.
The lives of scores of passengers
probably were saved by the fact
that the train was ahead of time
and was coasting along when it
struck a loose rail, the engine, tend
er and baggage car being derailed.
Investigation showed that the
spikes had been drawn from one Of
the rails.

GAS RATES ARE
SUSPENDED IN
STATE CITIES
Electric and Phone.
Schedules Also
Held Up.

Springfield, Ill, Nov. .-Perma-
nent suspension of increased gas,
electricity and telephone rates in
about two hundred cities in Illinois
was ordered by the Illinois COM
merce commission this morning to
counteract the effect of a recent
court ruling here that applications
for higher rates may be temporar-
lily suspended only twice.
Companies in Peoria, Boards
town, Sterling, Rock Falls and
Momence have already taken ad-
vantage of the court order and
have announced higher rates in
violation of the commissions order.
The courts ruling here was that
the law provides for a first sus-
pension of 120 days, when rates
are asked, and a resuspension at
the end of that time, of six months
more.
In effect it was held that when
the commission made a second re-
suspension it acted without author
ity and the companies might put
the higher rates into effect by de-
fault Today's action by the COM
mission permanently suspends'
rates and obtains that it followed
precedent set by the previous COM
mission in granting temporary sus-
pensions more than twice.
Permanent suspensions will give
the commission as much time dS
necessary to act upon the applica-
tons At present, however. it was
said to be a physical impossibility
to investigate and decide rate cases
within the ten months limit allowed
by law.
The five companies which have
already attempted to put into effect
unauthorized rates are included in
the permanent suspension order.
The Central Illinois Public Service
company, which served 1876 towns IN
the state is hit the hardest as the
order applies to seryice in all its
towns.
Other towns named in the order
are as follows:

AMERICA To
SET PACE In
DISARMINC
Official Says Wen Re
move Beam From Our
Own Eye First.

Washington, Nov. 5.-(United
Press THE United States will
offer to set the pace for the rest
of the world in disarming.
At the coming arms conference,
this government will present a gen.
erous and far-reaching offer to lin
it the American navy within GER
tain definite lines.
1t will thus enunciate policy
expressed to the United Press to-
day by a member OF the American
delegation as removing the arma-
ment beam from our own eyes be-
fore we ask our neighbors to remove
the mote from theirs
Keep L. 5. Offer Secret.
The American delegation is now
preparing the American offer, to-
gether with the general plan for
world armament limitation, con
cerning which the United Press
made an exclusive announcement
early in the present week.
While details of the American
offer are being closely guarded
against publicity, it can be stated
that they will, if put into effect,
mean a more substantial reduction
in expenditures for naval arma-
ment than many Of the most optlm-
istic have hoped for.
Neither the American plan nor
the general. world wide plan, have
been completely worked out. The
navy department submitted in de-
tail all the facts and figures need
ed for constructing workable pro-
jects of armament limitation.
VIII 'sTest Faith.-
In general, it is possible to state,
the disposition of the American
delegates has been to outline a
program that really stops the race
for world naval supremacy without
leaving any nation with an unfair
advantage.
The present strength of the lead
ing navies and their prospective
strength upon completion OF build
ing programs already authorized
were both used by the experts in
outlining the program.
Members of the senate who were
shown. in confidence, some of the
preliminary calculations, said every
indication pointed to the proposing
by this government of "a program
that will test the faith and perhaps
the courage of the worlds states
men"
