Col, Cornell, Secretary of the Highways Protective Society, who was engaged by the com- mittee to study taxicab conditions in European cities, will tell the Aldermen what he has found out about taxicabs in London, Paris | and Berlin. Such a report can hardly fail to open the eyes of those why think that all taxicabs must be like New York taxicabs. Hoven apart! from the rates, which in European capitals average dne-fifth the scale of most New York tariffs, foreign taxicabs, especially those of | London and Berlin, are comfortable and well equipped to degree | undreamt of in this city. Think of smooth, silent, well upholstered taxicabs with rugs end foot warmers, a sliding shutter in the front glass through which one | can talk to the chauffeur without opening door or window, and a cast iron schedule of fares and distances always before the eye which the driver would never think of disputing! Think of taxicabs so licensed and regulated that the responsibility of dxivers is complete and an appeal to the nearest policeman settles everything! ‘ And these taxicabs are not scarce. They are not luxuries.) They are not found exclusively in front of expensive hotels. On tho! contrary, they circulate frecly by hundreds through the etreets. They | are to be found standing by scores at numerous public stations n/| streets or squares. ‘They offer themselves to rich and poor aliko at rates averaging 30-35 cents for two miles or 60-70 cents per hour! The Aldermen have promised to investigute and regulate taxi- cabs in this city. They have taken ample time to be thorough. Now is the moment for the people of New York to show the Alder- men by direct personal testimony and appeal that prompt action is) expected, that we are ready and waiting to welcome and make use of @ new, regulated taxicab with reasonable rates that shall put the eity in a class with other capitals. -_ “OPEN JAILS.” Ev from gaol may be a romantic theme. The prisoncr) who tunnels through twenty-foot walls and lowers himeelf, by his bed sheets under the noses of a ecore of watchful | geolers may earn a few thrills of sympathy and admiration. But) shuffling over @ prison wall from a stepladdor amid the snores of drunken watchmen is not a romantic epectacle. In these prosnic days it is a disgraceful one. The circumstances under which Reynold Forsbrey, gunman, bur- glar, confined on a double murder charge, walked out of the ‘Tombs are such as must make New York eit up and rub its eyos in ainaze- Spent. The prisoner Forsbrey was caught last Wednesday trying to saw through the bars of hiv cell. He was removed to an isolated cell supposed to be the strongest in tho place. A night watchman was ordered to visit this cell every hour. As an additional precaution a “trusty” was stationed outside the cell. The “trusty” went to sleep. The night watchman, being drunk, went to sleep also. The prisoner, feeling wakeful, wandered through a ventilator into a storeroom, thence by way of a carpenter shop, where he found a ladder, to an outer wall, which he climbed, and dropped into the street. It is time for an awakening in the Tombs. A Tombs night watchman drunk and dsleep is about the limit of human ihcom- petence!
