Realism is running riot in "The Runaway

Ut the Metropolis Theater, The Bronx.
As the play was designed, Manager Henry

enough, for there is a scene in the third act
IN which the villain waylays the nero on

b another trapeze thriller in the same act.
These, the manager is confident, gave the
audience their moneys worth. without
the addition Of incidents not on the pro-
gram.
On the first night of the show at Trenton,
Joseph Santley, billed IS America s greatest
boy actor. was drawing his revolver the
villain when he lest his balance and broke
his leg. His place was taken by his brother
and understudv, Edward Santley.
At the matinee yesterda y the two Marions,

CANADIANS MAY COMPETE.
Bonaparte Resclnds Order Giving Naval
Freights to Anne rican Roads.


Ffeights to Anne rican Roads.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.-Under an order
issued by Secretary Bonaparte, Canadian
railways will have an equal chance with
American lines in bidding for the trans
portation Of navy supplies TO the Pacific
coast. Incidentally this order revokes
one made by Secretary Morton combining
transportation Of these supplies to Ameri-
can railways.
The matter was recently brought to the
attention Of Secretary Bonaparte by q
representative of q Canadian railroad
who complained that under the restrictive
clause Of the specifications sent out by the
Navy Department they were barred from
competing for the traffic
Secretary Bonaparte found upon in
vestigation that the chief OF the bureau
partment was acting under verbal order
by Mr. Morton that contracts should be
made only with railroads which ran e1-
cusively in American territory. Secre-
tary Bonaparte thought this was an un-
order that shipments by the Navy Depart
ment should be made over the line which
Aft" After It the order was issued George E.
Campbell, representing various railroad
presented to the Secretary arguments
for it's revocation. He pointed out that
the Canadian lines had the advantage over
their American competitors in that they
were unhampered by the railway laws as
naval stores and supplies were sent over
foreign road there would be opportunity
for foreigners to obtain information 70
garding them.
Mr.. Bonaparte thought neither suggestion
cision. He told Mr.. Campbell that Con-
gress had appropriated so much money to
run the navy and the Navy Department,
and II Mr. Campbell desired relief from the
operations Of the order just Issued, he must
obtain it from Congress, as the order would
stand.
