night, and the excellent bill again
scored the big success that 1t did
Monday. The Runawsys,' as pre-
sented by Loie Bridge & Cos. is I'M
doubte6ly the best sketch seen here
this season. II is full OF good comedy
and funny situations, and all of the
six characters portrayed are in the
hands of capable people. The audi
ences we're kept in a continuous roar
of laughter. Equally successful is the
novelty sketch played by Springer
and Church. and this clever pair made
a big hit with the act Frankie Wal
lace an6 the Ranges Sisters. who CON-
plete the Olympic's bill. are also very
pleasing.

this week that no action had been
taken on the letters said 20 have been
written TO the treasury department by

asking for an investigation OF the al
legged misconduct OF Fred Read, the
newly named collector. in the More
WITT case at Norfolk, Il wss reported
here that the department had denied
receiving any letters from Captain
Stuart.
This report apparently was strength
ened bv the announcement yesterday
morning that MIR. Re3d would take
over his new Office this week and the
idea that the collector had not writ
ten tho department at all regarding
the matter became more or less prev
alent
Msiled Letters on Train.
However, Captsin Stuart. when seen
yesterday morning. stated positively
that lie had written not one letter. brt
three, 70 the department concerning
the investigation of Mr.. Read by the
Federal grand. jury and that "for rea-
sens satisfactory 70 himself had
taken the letters TO the depot and
mailed them ON the Chesapeake u
Ohio train instead of mailing them In
the ordinary wav through the local
postofice. The collector said that he
had not received any reply TO anv OF.
the letters he had written, and mailed1
to the secretary OF the treasury. Mr..
Mcveagh.
Later in the interview, Captain Stu
art produced carbon copies OF the
three letters sent to the department

Booker T. Washington, Presid ent Of

ed his annual address. He spoke as
follows:
Before uttering a single sentence
regarding any other subject, I wish
to express the deep obligation which
the National Negro Business League
is under to the Negro press of the
United States for the generous and
unfailing interest which it has taken
in this and in previous meetings Of
this organization. Were il not for
the generous space given to the af-
fairs of this organization in the form
of editorials and news items with
out question and without cost, il
would have been impossible for IL
to have attained to its present degree
of success. Let no one doubt or ques-
tion in the future the value and in
fiuence OF the Negro newspaper.
Though it may be a seemingly small
and Insignificant sheet with a limit
ed circulation reaching the people
only in one community, nevertheless
this Negro paper has its influence.
More and more in the future than
has been true in the past, / plead
with all the earnestness that I can
command for the generous and con
stant support OF the Negro press.
This support should come not only
from the masses of our people, but
In the especial degree IL should come
from the man OF education, from the
man who is engaged in some business
enterprise. Such support, in an in
creasing degree, / believe the Negro
