p The facility with which Washington
streets are cleaned, the absence of
heavy traffic, and the new schedule Of

CHARLES FALyEYS
CARNEGIE MEDAL
J. REACHES PARENTS
Bronze Piece Will Make En-
during Boy Hero's
Sacrifice.

The sacrifice of little Charles Falvey,
Isl Fourteenth street southeast, made
more than two years ago when the
syopngster gave up his life in fruitless
attempt 10 rescue a boy companion in
The river at the foot of Fourteenth
street, is not to be forgotten.
In the possession Of the Falvey family
today is a token showing that the
stun heroes are made of is not I'M
known to their generation. A bronze
disk, nodded with as much care and
thought as are made the crowns of
kings, and showing that Charles Falvey
WAS hero, is being carefully guarded.
Charles F. Falvey, employed at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the
father Of the little red-headed youngster
who fought against odds in an effort
to rescue Willis Hook, frightened
companion, from drowning in the Po-
-komac. has received a Carnegie hero
medal, issued by the commission
brought into existence by the steel
king.
On one side Of the bronze disk is a
likeness Of Andrew Carnegie, and on
the other a brief reason for which 1t
was issued.
1l-NCndTleS FdIV6y, WHO lOSl MS llc u
ing to rescue William w. Hook, June z,
tS09,'' is the brief message which the
medal bears. 1t is complete enough.
The whole city knows of the daring at
tempt made by the youngster two years
ago to rescue from drowning fright
eried companion who. IN his excitement,
fought against assistance. Both young
'Faivey and Willie Hook lost their lives
as a consequence.
For two years representatives of the
commission have had the case of young
-Falvey under advisement. Never has
there been any doubt that the boy was
a hero. But the demands made upon
the hero fund are so large that II is
impossible for the limited force to act
upon each Individual case Immediately.
III takes time to investigate the re-
quests for medals, and the one for
young Falvey had to await its turn.
: 1t finally arrived, and without ques-
tioning the application, it was ordered
that a bronze disk be issued.

Another name has been added to the
roll Of the heroes of the telegraph key.
1t is that Of Ira T. Davis, a young
Alexandrian, who has worked for some
time in Washington. About his name
now hangs a tale of devotion to duty;
of initiative. of ability TO meet obstacles
and overcome them, for in the face OF
overwhelming odds during the hurri-
cane which swept the southern Atlantic
seaboard last Sunday and Monday
young Davis came through with a
story of disaster and death which gave
the press association for which he
worked a clean scoop" as exclusive
news is called.
Folks who picked up their papers last
Monday and read of the storm havoc.

vessels and cast high and dry on storm

darkness on the sea, of vessels wallow-
ing in a wild, trougny ocean Valnly
sending s. o. S. flashes through the
night, knew nothing OF how the facts
were obtained. This is the tale, told
by friends of young Davis, who now Is
in Washington.
Shows Initiative.
Ira Davis is only twenty-three years
old. He has worked in nearly every
large telegraph office in the country,
however, and last week he was sent to
Charleston, S. c. He went there, too,
only as a Sub for the regular man
who took the night telegraph news re-
port in that city.
So Davis. the boy VINO was to 10
things" was a flller-in on newspaper
wire when the big storm broke. He
was taking report" but little by little
the telegraph service succumbed to the
fierce storm, and Davis was left sitting
before a dead" wire
In the city of Charleston the inhab-
itants were terrorized. Buildings were
tottering, trees and telegraph poles fall
ing. Great signs were flying through
the aid with the buoyancy Of kites, and
a sixty-mile devastating gale swept in
from the sea, from whence reports came
of marine disaster and wrecked vessels.
Braves Storm Dangers.
Davis was not a newspaper man. but
he saw the story" He knew that
every telegraph and telephone wire out
of Charleston was silent. He knew that
away up North the big press bureau,
with idle wires, was waiting vainly
for some word from the hurricane
stricken belt.
He left his wire. Out into the storm
he went, lodging a flying window blind
here and falling tree there, wading UP
