This party was in a boat near which
Miss Angelina Chabot was rowing
alone. They called to her that there
was something in the water. At first
Miss Chabot thought it was a buoy
but as soon as it rose in the wafer .
call for help was heard. Miss Cha
bot hurried to the scene and reached
Mr.. Perkins before he sank the Sc
cond time. She dragged him into
the boat and rowed to the Parkman
grove where her fathers cottage is
located.
Mr.. Perkins was nearly exhausted
but was soon able to walk to mis-
home. Miss Chabot who is only 10
years of age is very modest about the
part she played. thinking only Of
giving assistance to one in danger.
Her many friends appreciate her
bravery and quick action which
saved Mr. Perkins from drowning.
II is very doubtful if his strength
would have held out until other
boats which were in greater dis
lance could have reached him.

Washington, July 12-Pledges of

Republican leaders and conceded by
opponents after President Harding in
anaddress to the Senate today had

Formal Reply to Presi-

ceived by State De-
partment Jap Pa
pers Announce Re-
ceipt of C0mmunica-
ton on Question

Washington, July IL President
Harding's proposal for an interna-
tional conference on disarmament
and related subjects has been re-
ceived with so many expressions of
approval abroad that officials here
already are beginning to turn their
thoughts to details of the meeting
and of it's work. Although the first
definite acceptance, that of France,
did not reach the State Department
until today, it was learned that all
hut one of the powers invited to the
conference had given informal as
surances of cooperation in the presi-
dents plan. Officials would not dis
close which nation had not respond
Cd. bat press dispatches from abroad
have indicated the missing reply was
that OF Japan and that it would be
Forthcoming in the near future.
The expectation here is that pre-
lminary negotiations will be COM
pleted by late fall, and Armistice
day, November II, has been suggest
ed as a possible date for the assem-
bling of the delegates. 1t is accepted
as virtually certain that the meeting
place selected will be the American
capital.
In their consideration of the sub
iects to be discussed at the confer
ence, officials are dealing only with
such specific subjects as disarma
ment and the Pacific situation. but
they are keeping in mind that in the
end the conversations may offer an
opportunity for the broaching of the
association of nations plan which has
been suggested by Mr.. Harding from
time to time. In highest administra :
ton quarters it was said today that
although the meeting had been call
ed for other purposes, it would not
seem unnatural that such an associa =
ton might be discussed in the gen
eral search for ways and means to
make people of the world secure.

TRIO Fooled IN
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
SKOWHECAN JAIL

SkoWhe gan, Me, July 12-(SpeciaD
"A bold attempt to break Jail on the
part of three men who are being held
Tor the September term of grand jury
on charges carrying with them pris-
on sentences, was frustrated Monday
night by Sheriff John E. Mooers and
Deputy Sheriff Walter Croker of Ca
naan, These men had been shortly
before allowed out of the cage to do
some washing for themselves and
also to battle. They uncoupled a sec
ton of the pipe from the bath tub
which they used as lever to spring
one of the bars in the grated win
dow 0ut of position. By bending 1t
downward they allowed space enough
for escape.
Sheriff Mooers noted unusual &C
tivity in the vicinity of this window
and surmised something was wrong.
Later in the evening he and Deputy
Croker watched this window from
concealment and soon caught the out
line of mans head and shoulders
coming through the opening. Both
officers fired at once and only the
darkness rendering aim imperfect,
saved the prisoners. Two other men
who We're behind disclaimed any
knowledge of the attempt to break
but the officers fully believe that the
six men, occupants of the cage were
in collision.
The man who was the first to make
attempt to break Jail was Charles
Rooney, who claimed as his residence
Salisbury. Mass, and who was
charged with breaking, entering and
larceny at North Arson.
