Another member of the New York po-
lice force probably will receive pro-
motion on the score of having been
awarded a federal life-saving medal
It has been the practice of the metro
politan police commission to enter in
the record of a policeman any such
honor, and 1t has invariably meant ad-
vancement and has become a recogni-
ton highly sought after and prompting
many deeds of life saving.
Policeman Thomas E. Carmody has
been awarded a silver medal Of honor
by the Secretary of the Treasury in
recognition of his gallant conduct in
saving a boy from drowning in the
East river July "a last year. James
Busteeno, a lad five years old, while
playing on a bulkhead, fell overheard.
Unable to swim, he was about to sink
when Carmody jumped into the water
fully clothed and against strong tide
brought him safely to the pier. where
the two were assisted from the water
by the crowd that had collected.
A marine, Private Patrick ]. Nestor.
is also awarded a similar medal for the
rescue of a comrade from drowning
in the waters of Puget sound, Wash,
September last year. While return

tectorate over Haiti, already in opera
ton through modus vivendi, was re-
ferred to a subcommittee composed OF
Senators Swanson, O'Gorman and
Brandegee to report next week.
The Colombian treaty still is rigidly
opposed by republican senators, and
some democrats are against the provi-
sion to pay the republic $4,000, 900 for

preston of regret embodied in it for
the manner in which this government
took possession of the property during
the Roosevelt administration.
