Forbush came out Of the shine
parlor and walked up to the machine.

reached for his hip pocket. Klein

Forbush broke away, in the mean
time. and raced up the street. Sergt,
Charles Rohldng chased him through
streets and alleys. The fugitive
lodged into the home OF Joseph Serio,

Negroes and urging the householder
to let him out the back door,

bandits apparently had used recently
for quick dashes into Washington

was discovered that the pair had
been living In a Baltimore hotel for
three days
Forbush told police he and Walsh
had driven to Pittsburgh and separated
after their escape from Lorton, meet
ing again in Baltimore two weeks ago.
Local police planned further question
ing in an effort to break down this
story in view OF the pairs asserted con-
nection with a series of local robberies
in the meantime.
Police indicated that Mrs. Leila
Smith, taken into custody Saturday
night for investigation as an asserted
friend of Forbush, would be released
soon without any charges being placed
against her.
A makeshift camp, apparently used
by the desperadoes as temporary
headquarters for time, was found by
Washington police last week, far back
in the woods off University drive, near
Cottage City, Md. The fugitives had
deserted the camp before its discovery.

evolved spontaneously and was not
planned beforehand officials are un-

to determine II they had help from
the outside.
The convicts seized an opportunity
to break away in the guards car
when the prison garage foreman left
them momentarily to answer a tele-
phone. Mrs E. j. Welsh, wife Of the
deputy superintendent, saw the car
crashing through the prison gates,
jumped into her machine and chased
the fleeing pair for nearly 40 miles
before losing track of them.

BODY TO BE LARGER
Police Court Rules Will Be
Amended-Several Lawyers
Reported as Unethical

Police Court rules regarding the
prosecution of attorneys suspected of
unethical practices will be amended
to provide for a committee of five
members of the District Bar Associa-
tion, instead of the three required
under present rules.
Judge Edward M. Curran said this
change will be initiated so that the
committee, formed nearly a year ago.
might prosecute cases against several
attorneys who have been reported as
engaging in improper actions in the
court. Under the present set-up it
would be necessary for the Judges.
after hearing the complaints, to ap-
point committee of three to make
the complete investigation and then
prosecute the attorneys at hearings be-
fore the full board of judges.
Judge Curran said he believed the
Bar Committee should have the au-
thority to actually prosecute cases in
volving attorneys against whom prima
facie cases might be presented to the
judges.

FREDERICKSBURG. Va, October
l5.-''H YOU know men and dawgs,
you'll know that eva dawg on dis
place is de bes' dawg heah!"
The ancient colored hunter settled
his fox horn about his shoulders and
shifted battered hat back on his
woolly pate before he resumed:
Now you take that little thing
there"-he pointed to Pekingese, one
Of two on leashes led by a proud
dowager in an expensive fur coat
"he doan' bring home no meat, he
doan' trail nuthin'. he doan' tree
nuthin', he doan' run nuthin'. He's
just a dawg.
AN ats my pint. That lady
thinks she's got de bes' dawgs on de
lot, just like know got de bes' ones
You can't argy with a dawg owner!"
The colored man chuckled as he
glanced about him. Fredericksburg S
dog mart had reached frantic climax
yesterday afternoon-every cur and
blue-blood contributed to the bedlam,
trying to drown out the brass band
and the voice of an auctioneer below
ing through a loud speaker system.
You can tell a dawg owner by the
look Of i'm. but you can't tell i'm
much" The colored man laughed
heartily and slapped his knee
Mister, I can tell a fox hunter as
far as I can see one, just like can
tell a fox dawg. Now those dawgs
there is fox-shovin' fools amt
they Andrew"
Andrew Jackson, 64. colored, one of
the Oldest night hunters in Spottsyl-
vania County, admitted that such was
the case. He modestly held his
tongue while his neighbor sang the
praises Of his "fox-shovin' dogs.
Andrew, however. at length took up the
story where the neighbor left of.
"See that bob-tail dawg?" he de-
manded. well, that's the onliest bob
tail breed of houn's I knows of. Ken
mel men nor old-timers can't tell you
nothin' about bob-tailed dawgs. They
amt any sech dawgs except in Spott-
sylvania County,
I've knowed 'em for so year or
better-they can pick up the coolest
trail, run fox longer and fight q
coon harder than any houn' I knows
Of. That houn's tail never was
cropped. He was bawn that way.
The puppies which that bob-tail is
the daddy Of is also bob tailed-I don
care how long-tailed their nanny
was"
The fox hounds. rabbit chasers
coon fighters and squirrel treers were
only few of the hunting dogs at the
historic mart. There were pointers
and settlers Of all sizes, ages ana
descriptions. Dogs Of the fancy
breeds were more numerous still.
More than 800 CANNES were brought
