 The Investigating committee is inauir- inginto the money expended by the gov ernment in these plants, to the end that such information might serve as an in dictment against the democratic party iii the ensuing election.

LET THERE BE uGHT'| SAID NEW MANAGER

The biblical injunction, Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works was the prompt ing that led Thomas H. James, the new manager of Loew's Bjou, to start a movement for the relighting of. the White Way on Third avenue, between Eigh- teenth and Seventeenth streets.
 And with the characteristic energy that has governed his actions since as- suming charge of the popular playhouse, he began an active canvass of the busi- ness houses on the avenue with the re- suit that all signed up for the relghting of the famous White Way and last night the lights were flashed on and with the fightngs of Loew's Bijou made brilliant effect.
 The White Way along this thorough fare was discontinued some time ago ewing to prevailing conditions, but when Manager James came to his new charge Ahe saw no reason why they should not be relighted, both as a matter of civic pride and for the benefit and conven- fence of the thousands of patrons of the theatre
 Just at dusk last night, MT. James said Let there be light" and the lights that had been extinguished' shone forth once more with their accustomed brilliancy, and added much to the ap- pearance of this part of the city.
 'T believe in light" said MT. James last night, and no part of any city should be in darkness when the means to light it up are at hand, as in this instance It is a marked policy of Mar GUS Loew to use light profusely at all of his many theatres. and the house in Birmingham is no exception to the rule Then again." he added with a smile, we want the people to see our good work as evidenced by the crowds that congre- gate around our theatre at every per fOrmance"

REGULAR JOY KILLERS

City halls arc regular "joy- killers to retail real estate ;n that~they draw little or no pedestrian traffic of the purchasing variety. The fire depart ment on Fourth avenue naturally has no pulling power and If several good concerns could hc located on that site it would mean lot for Fourth avenue Ti1e Dangaix corner will undoubtedly be improved with si,oee,oo0 build- ing in the next year or so which will itcnd to greatly increase values in that vicinity
 w J. Dangaix a pioneer property owner and expert on population trends, believes that Third. Fourth and Fifth avenues between Seventeenth and Twentieth streets offer wonderful op- portunities to investors. Twentieth street between Third and Fifth avenues is also splendid field for in- vestment according to Mr. Dangaix
 Block S5. bounded by Twentieth and Twenty first streets and Second and Third avenues is regarded by many as the probable recipient of the overflow from block S6 The splendid im- provement noted in the south side of Third between Twentieth and Twenty first during the past few months is pointed to by these experts as grounds for their conviction.
