INVALID IS SAVED
FROM DEATH
IN FIRE
y. c. Parker Is Suffering From
Shock at Narrow Escape,
Physicians Say.

But for the chance discovery by
passerby that the house at 110S
H street northwest was afire, F. c.
Parker, thirty one, bedridden occu'
pant Of the house, would have been
burned to death early this morning.
The fire broke out about 4:3O
o'clock this morning. Parker, lying
helpless in his bed, heard the crack
ling of the flames and he knew
that unless unexpected aid came to
| him he was doomed. AS the fire
and smoke reached the upper floors
where he was he gave up hope of
being rescued.
Second Fire at House.
This is the second fire in recent
years at Parker's home. The first
fire was in December 1921, in the
early morning hours. Parker on
this occasion rescued his wife and
four children, all of whom were
trapped in q smoke-filled room.
For this act, number of Washing
ton business men sought to obtain a
Carnegie medal for him.
Mrs. Parker, wife of Parker, died
last summer in the home on H.
street. Three Of Parker's four
children are in institutions here and
he has been living with his mother
and the fourth child. Parker has
been i'll for many months.

half choked from the smoke and it
was necessary to remove him to the
Emergency Hospital in the patrol
wagon for treatment. Physicians
say that he is suffering more from
shock of the narrow escape than
from smoke. His condition is not
regarded as serious, it was stated.
While Truck No. 8 was standing
at Twelfth and H streets northwest,
aiding in fighting the fire, an auto.
mobile truck operated by George r.
Candy. of Silver Springs, Md, came
along. The heavy mist obscured his
view and he rammed one of the lad
ders jutting out from the truck.
The ladder was damaged.
The cause of the fire is unknown n.
Damage was estimated at $500 to
the house, the police say.
Walls Prevent Oil Fire.
Only the metal walls of the ga.
RACES of the Corps of Engineers at
Fifteenth and G streets southwest
prevented 400 gallons of oil from
being ignited last night when a fire
broke out in the lockers at the
garage.
Julian Johnson, 2420 Shannon
street southeast, garageman, drove
three cars out of the garage while
the fire engines were responding to
the alarm. One of these cars was
the property of Lieut.. Col. C. o.
Sheriff., aid to the President and
officer in charge of public buildings
and grounds.
The carse of the fire is not
known. The damage was Slight.
Firemen say the metal walls be-
came red hot, but they withstood
the flames.
