S, - AVIATOR THAW IS BACK FROM FRANCE Doesn’t Know Whether He's An American or Frenchman New York, Nov, 21.—William Thaw, citizen of France for the period of the war, arrived yesterday from Bordeaux by the French steamship La Touraine, awed more by the batteries of cam- eras and the cross-examination of re- | porters than he ever has been by Ger- nan aeroplanes, which he has fought in dizzy heights above the clouds of nature and war at the Verdun front. He is a lieutenant in the French avia- tion service and wears under his coat so none shall see it except on request, the cross of the Legion of Honor, awarded to him for gallantry in battle with three big German aeroplanes | aboVe Verdun. In his unequal conflict at Verdun Lieutenant Thaw was wounded in the elbow. He is here to recuperate and | see the Yale-Harvard football game. He sailed from Bordeaux in the hope of attending the bout between Prince- ton and Yale, but the Touraine en- countered had weather, ran short of coal, and was forced down to the Azores to replenish her bunkers. There Lieutenant Thaw had to be con- tent with the score of the game the Touraine received by wireless. But he is glad he, got here in time far the Yale-Harvard game. He is on leave of absence for three weeks and _will Teturn to France and re-enter the aerial fleet, Thaw in Fighting Class, Lieutenant Thaw said there were three classes of aviators in the French flying corps, one found ranges for the artillery, another dropped bombs on cnemy munition plants and stores and the other fought enemy airmen. He was in the last class and he preferred it because of the larger possibilities of adventure. In his last encounter with German fliers, whose skill he admires, Lieutenant Thaw was shot in the left elbow after his engine had gone wrong and three big German planes were pursuing him. He volplaned back to the French lin dropping just within the safety zone, and unaware until several French officers came to- ward him that he had not landed in enemy territory. In regard to the report that he had shot down two German planes just before he was wounded at Verdun Lieutenant Thaw declined to talk ex- cept in a gemeral way, remarking that it was true. What the lieutenant most was that a “man without a country,” sworn allegiance to France for the length of the war. “Americans,” he said, “‘rogard -me a8 a“Frenchman and fhe French look upon "me as an American.” Lieutenant Thaw shed a little new light in regard to the death of his friend Norman Prince. He said | Prince’s engine went back on him and that in his effort to reach safety ho collided with telegraph wires and was having POLITICIAN HELD Friend of Roosevelt Had Marked Bills, Police Say New York, Nov. 21.—Colonel Henry M. Bennett, a republican politician of Oyster Bay and a close friend of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, w r rested at a hotel in Mineola last eve- ning, acused of accepting $100 as part payment of a $2,500 bribe, for which, it was charged, agreed to “fix suit on trial there. Bennett was trapped, acording to District Attorney Smith and Warden HulSe of the Nassau county jail, who made the arrest, by means of marked bills, which were given him by Charles T. McCarthy, the complainant. Ben- nett denied the charge, sald he was the victim of a “frame-up” and de- clared the §100 he accepted was money McCarthy owed him. He was arraigned before Police Justice John Buhler and held in $2,000 bail for a hearing Thursday. The case in which it is alleged the jury fixing was to be done was that of Charles Fuller against the Bradley Construction company, of Port W: ington, on trial before Justice siclen. McCarthy, a former assistant dis- trict attorney and now counsel to the board of supervisors, says he was told by Bennett that one of the jurors could be controlled either way for $2,000. The amount was later raised to $2,500, he declares. McCarthy conferred with John J. Graham, counsel for Fuller; former Lieutenant Governor Thomas FF. Conway, counsel for the defendant, and Justice Vi Siclen, telling them of Bennett's leged proposal. It was decided, explained, to lay a trap for Bennett. District Attorney Smith was in- formed and arrangements made for him and Warden Hulse to be on hand and make the arrests. McCarthy says he made an appointment with Ben- nett and the juror in question to meet him at a Mineola hotel. When he had handed Bennet the $100 he gave a signal. Smith and Hulse made the ar- rest. Bennet was chairman of the “Fel- low Townsmen' meeting held in Oys- ter Bay the night before election, and introduced Colonel Roosevelt to the audience. in the supreme court Van he SHAKE-UP AT HARTFORD Firc Board Retires Three Capta One Licutenant and Two Privates— One Licutenant Reduced to Ranks. 21.—Hartford’s fire department received the biggest shake-up in its histery at last night's ession of the fire board following recommendations of Chief John C.

His death was due to a clot on the brain resulting from his injury, which in itself was not serious enough to cause death. Lieutenant Thaw was met at the pier by his parents and left for home with them. He will sall for France after the Yale-Harvard game. He is accompanied by C. G. Johnson, also of the French aerial service, who will re- turn with him. Actor Put Out of Running. Jean Gauthier, French actor, who is less than 30, and entered the war at its start, arrived by the Touraine with a decoration showing that he had been honorably discharged after gallant service. He had silver tubes put in his interior to save his life aft- er he had been badly wounded in the trenches and had spent six months in a hospital. e can never fight again, but he can act, and will'do so here chiefly for the welfare of France, ap- pearing in the French theater. The trip of the Touraine from Bor- deaux was fifteen days long. In heavy weather the Bay af Biscay the day after she sailed from Bordeaux she fell in with a British freighter with | war cargo that had lost her propeller. | Captain Caussin made an effort to as- sist the Briton, but the heavy seas were too much for him, and, as he had passengers and mails, he signalled good-bye and good luck to her and proceeded. She seemed ta be making good weather of it. Captain Caussin | said that the report that he had to | abandon helping the freighter because of wireless warnings of a German submarine in his course was not true, FOOD TICKETS IN NORWAY Provision Committee Royal Decides On Drastic Action to Mect Situation —Short Allowance Possible.
