DANGLED BY LEG
HELD BY WOMEN
HIGH OVER STREET
Wife and Nurse Battle With
DeliriouS Patient Till Police
man Arrives.

Isaac Chickman, thirty-five years
old, who has been i'll from pneumonia
in his home on the fourth floor at
No. 305 Madison Street, became de-
lirious at $50 A. NJ. to-day, and, run
ming past his wife, Lena, and the
trained nurse, plunged through the
window.
The glass halted him long enough
for the two women to seize his right
foot AS he danFled four stories over
the street, bleeding from many
wounds inflicted by the jagged win
dow glass, the two women screamed
for help.
Policeman Jacob Quicker Of the
Madison Street station saw them and
shouting to them to hang on, dashed
up the stairs and burst into the room.
He was just in time. When the
crazed patient found the policeman
was dragging him back, he began to
struggle more desperately. Seizips
the coping ne pulled himself down
ward with such strength he had the
policeman half way out
Quicker finally managed to straddle
the sill and gradually drew the
patient back through the window.
Then he had TO sit on him until an
ambulance came and took him to
Bellevue. Quicker was so wounded by
the broken window he had TO be at
tended by an ambulance surgeon. His
uniform was torn to shreds.
Chickman's fve-y -year-old daughter
Jennie, by former marriage, has
been staying at her uncie's across the
street during her fathers illness. she
was coming out of the house TO go
home for breakfast just as her father
plunged through the glass Of the win
doy and hung there suspended, and
looking up she saw him.
Her screams were added TO those
Of her mother and the nurse and
aroused the neighborhood. She hys-
terically watched the fight four stories
overhead until she saw the policeman
finally win the battle and draw her
father in safe.
Mrs, Chickman, it developed after
her heroic efforts to hold to her hus-
band until the policeman came, eX-
poets TO become mother in about a
week. Her husband. who is in the
millinery business, has been sick for
almost a month.

II reveals for the first time that not
only has Japan defied the American
protest against the mandate over
zap. but that IL also rejected sum
marly a proposal by the United

ernment to prove not merely
the fact that the particular limo OF

ferring to the reservations made
by President Wilson at the Peace
Conference against the award of
Tap to Japan), but also that the
Supreme Council decided in ia
vor Of those views II il 10
meant that the United States
could be bound without its con-
sent by the action Of the Supreme
Council, the contention is deemed
by this Government to be mad.
missible, and on tho other hand
the United States has never as
sented TO the mandate purporting
to embrace the Island Of Yap.7
Secretary Hughes added in his
note
AS no treaty has ever been
