WOUNDING OF GIRL AROUSES CITIZENS Federal Rum Runners Arrested for Shooting Miss on nadian Border. | By the Associated Press, MALONE, N. Y., July 6.—Residents along the Canadian border are aroused over the wounding of Miss Belle Baker last Tuesday night and the subsequent arrest of three fed- eral officlals charged with assault.

The directors of the Malone Chamber of Commerce have adopted a resolution requesting Senator Wadsworth and Representative Snell to use their influence for investiga- tion of “The indiscriminate use of firearms in stopping suspected cars, along the border.” The resolution also suggested that all government agents be uniformed in order that they may not be mistaken for hold- up_men.

NEED, SAYS FESS Nation's History Shows Success of Arbitration, Citizenship Ses- sion Told. By the sAssociated Press WINONA LAKE American history, more than any other national record, demonitrates the success of arbitration in interna- tional disputes, and this country Ishould therefore co-operate in the world court of justice, United States Senator Fess, republican, Ohio, de- clared last night before the interna- tional Christian citizenship confer- ence. Internal concord can come only trom international contracts, the Ohio senator said, in urging the conference delegates to support the Judicial process as against the war process of settlement. Amerlcan national interests were further insured by the fact that sub- mission of disputes to the court for adjudication was not compulsory, but merely by agreement, he said. This, the senator pointed out, made impos- sible any infringement upon inde- pendent action by the United States when the national policy demanded it “If the court was obligatory,” he de- clared, “the United States would not adhere to it, and I shall certainly op- pose it, because we have not reached the place where the United States can be forced to submit any question that might come up to some court. The provision is that only disputes are submitted that are submitted by both parties. If one of them says no, then, of course, it is not submitted.” BENJAMIN DIVORCE FAVORED. WHITE PLAINS, N.

Parker battled his way through intense flames which threat- ened to destroy his print shop and home at 1108 H street and rescued his family—a wife, mother and three children—and a fireman, who had been trapped. It was more than a year and a half ago, New Year eve, 1921, Parker's brave deed has almost been blotted from his memory by time and the adverse conditions that have beset his life in recent months. To his friends, however, he is still an unsung hero, deserving of a reward which they are endeavoring tirelessly to secure for him-—a Carnegie hero amedal. A special investigator of the Carnegle Hero Fund Commission is now in Washington checking up the details of the story of how Parker risked his life in saving his family and the fireman from imminent death. Eighteen Hundred Medals Awarded. i 1 About 3,000 pounds of copper are In the nineteen years since the Car- negie Hero Fund Commission was ated and endowed by Andrew Carnegle, almost 1,800 of the medals have been given. Most of them were bronze. Not quite 500 were silver. Only 18 were | gold. But every medal was given to some one who had risked his life (or to relatives of some one who had lost his life) trying to save that of some other human being, who had no claim on him. Parker's act of herolsm apparently does not concern him. I did what any other man would have done under the circumstances,” he said. As to the detalls of his heroic deed, Parker would not talk. He cannot un- derstand why he should be subjected to the spotlight of publicity and public praise for an inherent motive that im- pelled him to risk his life for another. Friends Tell Story. To one of Parkers most intimate friends we must turn for the story th. he refuses to tell—Sydney A. Schwartz, | prominent Washington attorney, who is leading the movement to have the printer rewarded with a Carnegie medal. Amid the din of the New Year eve celebration of 1921, the Parker fam-| ily was asleep on the floor above the! print shop. Parker was awakened by the bursting in of his bedroom Gcor. Then came a cloud of smoke and fire. Covering two of his children who were asleep with a blanket Parker carried his wife, who had become overcome by the smoke out of the window and over the roof to safety next door. He came back for his children and mother, Mrs. Charles, and performed the same life-saving service. Rescue of Fireman. With his feet blistered and cut and his hair singed, Parker returned to the street to watch the work of the firemen. A cry for help from a voice {in the bullding aroused Parker once more and against the insistent pro- testations of the crowd in front of the house, he fought his way through the flames and dense smoke in the print shop and on & landing midway between the first and second floors he found _the unconsclous form of a fireman.

Parker is thirty-one years old and before he opened his printing busi- ness, was well known on the vaude- ville stage as “The Virginia Judge.” During the war he offered his talents to the war camp community eervic and for two years performed before soldier audiences. Since the disastrous fire of Decem- ber 31, 1821, Parker has faced man: unfortunate’ circumstances with same spirit with which he rescued the six persons from his home. Another child has been born, his wit is in the Tubercolosis Hospital hover- ing between life and death, and busi- ness had not been any too good. But through it all Parker tries to smile.
