the most interesting characters she
has ever been called upon to inter

The role of a girl of Mecca offers
Miss Storey opportunities for display
ing her versatility, which she has
never had before, although her parts
have been varied onas.
She is cast as a little spitfire as
a girl who is brimming over with in
dependence and is forced into a mar
riage with a wealthy diamond mer
chant, who is much older than her
self and whom she learns to detest.
When some act displeases her she
goes into a tantrum and anything
lying nearby is thrown with amazing
rapidity at her devoted husband.
Although Miss Storey has always
been termed, "The Bernhardt of the
Screen," this role proves her right to
that complimentary title..
Rev. R. L. Gay Forced to Re
sign Personnel of School ;
Board of Examiners
Governor . Bickett ;
(Special to S?be Dispatch.)
Raleigh, April 2'i.- Rev. It. U Gay,
who has baen the financial agent of
the Anti-Saloon League, has resigned
and will do no collecting after May 1.
From various and sundry leaks it
is learned that Brother R. L. Davis,
superintendent, engineered the resig
nation of the well-known pastor. The
superintendent i3 said to have con
ducted it much as he has done the
business of the league, personally,
and Mr. Gay might say, even worse.
Fact is, he did, according to those
who heard the remarks of the retir
ing minister when members of the
trustees received the resignation and
gave ear to some highly entertaining
views of Mr. Gay. The retiring min
isters complained that Brother Davis
had sent him to impossible places for
money and demanded the coin when
it couldn't come. Mr. Gay's descrip
tion of Mr. Davis' methods reminded
one) of the Indians who were wont to
tie their victims to a tree and ask
them why theyv didn't go home.
Mr. Gay told' the committee, so the
bird tells your correspondent, that he
found many places where good peo
ple were unwilling to support the
league on "account of the autocratic
methods of Mr. Davis." It was the
opinion of Mr. Gay that the league
must do something for Mr. Davis, if
not actually to him.
Brother Davis did not rail. He
just thought Mr. Gay had not done
the business that could have been
done. As an advocate of temperance
the superintendent could find noth
ing wrong with Mr. Gay. Tha retir
ing officer is a fine speaker and in
variably makes a hit when he pre
sents the cause. Brother Davis want
el to see a killing of the collections.
And he hadn't seen them during the
administration that is closing.
BIG BENEFIT AT VICTORIA.
In "The White Raven," coming to
the Victoria tomorrow for the bene
fit of the Sorosis Milk Station Fund,
Miss Ethel Barrymore has the most
exacting role of her entire screen
career. From luxury to hardship and
back again to a success that is threat
ened with undoing, she plays a part
that pictures every emotion a woman
can experience. In some of ' the
scenes where this gantlewoman of the
screen works there are three or four
hundred rough and dissolute charac
ters, pictured at such pastimes as the
Yukon country offered during the
mad scramble for gold.
And by her wonderful art, Miss
Barrymore fits herself into her sur
roundings, lending great strength to
scenes not always pleasant, but ever
dramatic.

JAPANESE ARRESTED
BY C0BANsAtffflORlTlES
' " '' (By Associated Press.) :
'Havana, April 23. A message to
El M undo from Santo ttomingo, Cuba,
reports the arrest of three young Jap-f
anese, who -were -'surprised whilei
It has been said by. good prohibi
tionists that the trustees did not
wish to accept the resignation of Mr.
Gay, but Brother Davis had instruct
ed it and Mr .Gay's pride would not
allow him to work longer under the
superintendent. Mr. Gay has.boen
away the past eek and it is not
known whether he will return to pas
toral work or not. but it is understood
that he will. What he told the trus
tees in the presence of Rev. L. S.
Massey is said to have bordered upon
a plenitude.
In the city's primary Monday a
mayor, two commissioners and a po
lice justice are to be chosen.
Most prominent in the race for
Commissioner of Public Safety is E.
M. Uzzell, noted printer, who lost his
fortune in the great fire two years
ago. From all parts of the State he
has received all sorts of boosting, but
he has had to fight the whole town.
Governor Bickett has gone to the
western part of the State for threa
speaking dates, one in Wingate, an-j
other in Lawndale and the last at
China Grove, Rowan county, Friday. '
Governor Bickett is not accepting
half the invitations that he receives
jus a small percentage of them.
Such as he does yield to are ir- 1he
least populous and ths most rural
places. Mis present trip will keep
him from Raleigh until Saturday.
Governor Bickett has been holding
further conferences with the school
authorities relative to the appoint
ment of the board of institute conduc
tors and examiners who are to take
charge of the first grade examinations
and graduations and conduct the in
stitutes. It has been known in Raleigh at
least two weeks that the board will
in all probability be composed of Su
perintendent A. T. Allen, of Salisbury
schools; Supt. D. F. Giles, of Wake
County schools; and Prof. J.. H. High
smith, of Wake Forest, representing
the men, and Miss Hattie Parrott, of
Kinston, Mrs. Edgar Johnston, of
Salisbury, with an unsettled selec
tion from among Mrs. Leah Jones!
Stevens, Mrs. Pearl Cross Greene,
Mrs. Essie Blankenship, Miss Leila
Cobb, Miss Susie Fulghum and Miss
Carter. Governor Bickett tendered
the appointment to Miss Mary Owen
Graham, it is understood, but her du
ties as president of Peace prevented
its acceptance. j
These are the best positions in the
schools of the State. The men draw
salaries of $2,500 and $500 for ex
penses, and the women $2,000 and
$500 for the same purpose. Salisbury
will be the only school and the only
city that furnishes two of the board,
should the Governor appoint Mr. Al
len and Mrs. Johnston, as ths school
people expect him to do.
Prof. Gregorio Torres Quintero. of
the department of education in Yuca
tan. Mexico, left' last aftprnnnn fnr
an extended trip through South Car-.
cMna. Alabama: Gsbrein.. Tonncao
and Maryland. Mr. Quintero spent
three days in Raloigh studying for his
government the schools of the
United States. In Raleigh he Bought
an assistant who can speak better
English than himself and who' would
be useful in the observation work of
Ihe schools.
Beverly Harris, vice president of
the National City Bank of New York,
and F. Cv Schwedfanan, head of the
industrial department of that great in
stitution, left Raleigh yesterday after
