Nashville, and they are anxious to
do what is best for us, but the ques-
legislators will soon be going to
ton remains-what is best? Perhaps
4 meeting should be called and al
our best road men asked to attend
and give their views. Maybe out of
multitude Of council would come
wisdom. One or two things seem
certain. We cannot afford to 20 along
as we have done in the past. The
present system is wasteful, made
tquate and inefficient. We must have
better roads because we pay for them
in wear and tear, losses and break
age, and we had as well get the
pleasure and profit Of having them.
Our getting the auto mail service,
which the government is going to
establish, win likely depend on the
condition Of our roads. We wait
with patience the coming Of the
Moses who can lead us out Of the

French Aerial
Warfare Paintings
Attract Throng
NJ. Andre Tardieu and Gov
ernor Whitman Among
Spectators at Exhibit

Mon Dieu, CONNIE il await du
monde!-in other words, there was q
very large attendance at the opening
of the French Aerial Warfare Exhibit
at the Anderson Galleries yesterday.
NJ. Andre Tardieu, the French High
Commissioner, came from Washington
for the occasion; Governor and Mrs.
Whitman came from the st. Regis Ho-
tel, escorted by Commandant Tulasne,
Mrs. Chanler, Lieutenant Farre and
Mr.. Woodhouse; Mrs. j. Magee was
there, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Maynard,
Baron Charles Huard, Alan Hawley,
F. Crowninshield, Marquis and Mar
quise de Polignac, G. D. Smith and
many other we'll known persons.
After time the crowd became so
dense that only those who were very
close could view the paintings with any
appreciation; but then there were the
smartest of French, British, Italian,
Belgian and American uniforms to ad
mire; also the beautiful Lima Cavalieri,
her noted husband, Lucien Muratore,
and other representatives of the Amer
lean and French theatrical world.
Speeches were made by Mr.. Hawley,
Governor Whitman and M. Tardieu, but
Lieutenant Farre caught the wave of
enthusiasm on the crest with a charm
ing little talk in French, which brought
an outburst of applause.
Many flying corps were represented
the French, the Lafayette, British
Royal and Royal Italian, Of which Cap
tain Hugo d'Annunzio was the repre-
sentative.
The paintings by Lieutenant Farre
are sent by the French government. AS
historical documents they are novel, as
pictures they are thrilling. The por-
traits are we'll executed, showing
French and American aviators in their
picturesque caps, few bearing black
crepe bows.
Captain George Guynemer's portrait
attracted much attention with Mort
au champ d'honneur" written across it
and the flags of the Allies above it.
Sensitive to degree. but heroic and
ndomtable. his face looks out Of the
canvas fearlessly; and though the black
bow of crepe is there, he will always
live in the hearts of the French as their
idol, their "ace of aces" who fought
800 battles and brought down eighty
four German airplanes.
The exhibition will remain open for
the next ten days. The admission fee
is so cents, the proceeds going to chill
dren of French aviators killed in the
war

Z Politicians See Themselves
AS City Hall Scribes See Them

The Association of City Hall Re-
porters, comprising most Of the local
political wiseacres on the various news
papers, went back to the good old "Va-
Gary school system" which flourish d
in the late Fusion administration in
staging their annual "stunt dinner" at
the Hotel Astor last night. Mayor
Hylan and all his commissioners were
forced to overcome their bashfulness
and appear in knlckerbockers before
the school marm" and learn their les
sons.
The "dinner" this year could hardly
be called such, as it was most properly
Hooverlzed, and resolved itself into a
smoker, with late supper The lid
was on for food conservation, but it
was blown sky high to allow the escape
OF jlbes and hot shot hurled against all
present and recently past city Office
holders. Most of the prominent mem
bers Of the new Tammany administra-
ton and the recent Mitchell admins
traton and some others were present
to enjoy the thrusts.
For the first time in years the Mayor
himself missed the dinner, Mr.. Hylan
not being present. There were about
$50 guests.
On Hylan Schedule
The guests were all told to be on
hand promptly at 8 O'Clock, in ac-
cordance with the rule of the Hylan
administration. Promptly at the stroke
of 8 huge school bell announced
the opening of the classes, and all the
guests entered the main room, where
the educational work of the evening
was carried on. School opened by
salute to the colors and the singing
OF the national anthem. Then the fun
was on.
The stage was set like the interior of
the proverbial "little old red school
house, with the old-time individual
desks, blackboard we'll marked up, the
Ounce stool and all the other requisites.
furnished the basis for the verbal
shrapnel of the first scene. This was
followed by the Tammany class, not
quite SO cultivated. The scholars, rep
resenting various political leaders,
were dressed in the regulation school
boy suits, the "sissie kind" for the
Fusion crowd and the "tough boy" out
tit for the Tammany gang The last
scene was "burglarizing burlesquen
on the Board of Estimate, at which
Father Knickerbocker was blackjacked
by Mayor llylan, who was assisted in
relieving him of all his worthwhile
belongings by the other members of
the Board of Estimate, after which the
spolls were divided among them.
While some of the scholars were re-
citing in the Fusion scene "Bad Bow

and wrote the following verse:

Escaped Convict, "a Hours
Without Food, Captured
in Railroad Car
Will Be Sent to Clinton
Declares He Had No Accom-
plices; Switchman Causes
Capture of Fugitive

AUBURN, N. Y, March 9.-Reynolds
Forsbrey, man-killer and notorious
jailbreaker, who escaped from Auburn
prison on Thursday, is back in his cell.
He was caught this morning after
getting only twenty miles away in his
dash for freedom.
Forsbrey, who had sworn he would
never be taken alive, surrendered
without a struggle. Twenty-four hours
without food had taken all the fight
out of him.
Early next week, the Prison Depart
ment at Albany announced late to-
night, Forsbrey will be taken to Clin
ton prison, Dannemore: and be con-
fined in isolation. Hi has already
spent three years there in isolation,
having been transferred to the prison
here only little more than year
ago.
Forsbrey was caught at Locke, n; Y.
He was hiding in Lehigh Valley
Railroad freight car. When the train
reached Locke, Forsbrey poked his
head out OF the car door. switch
man saw him, and believing him to be
the escaped convict, telegraphed the
prison authorities without telling any
of the other railroad men and without
letting Forsbrey know he had been
seen.
Guards Rushed on Special Train
A special train was made up here at
once and several prison guards were
rushed TO Locke. On their arrival the
car III which their quarry was hiding
was pointed out, and with drawn re-
volvers and rifles they surrounded it.
Then Forsbrey was ordered to surren-
der.
There was moments delay and then
the door of the car slid back and Fors-
brey. with his hands over his head
jumped TO the ground. He was promptly
Eandcutfed, hustled to the special train
and an hour later his cell door changed
shut after him.
The capture of Forsbrey ended the
greatest man hunt in this part of the
state since the escape Of Perry, the
train robber, several years ago. State
troops. detectives, prison officials and
county authorities had been searching
Central New York for forty eight hours
One posse was within two miles of
Locke when the capture was made.
Forsbrey, if he is telling the truth,
managed his escape easily. He was ex-
amIned in his cell tonight by Warden
II. r. Kinney, but refused to tell how
he got possession of the saw he used
