I. 1'arkcr estate, 6944 North Thirtieth street, was the scene of a feu it battle at 3 yesterday morn ing between police officers and four men believed to be hijackers, who were Irustrated m an attempt to rob the rectory of ' the Church of the tflessed "sacrament, 6304 North Thtr tieth, Thursday morning. According to Sergeant Thestrup, who was in charge of the oolice squad, the Jfc'arkers have been living iu the south and it is believed the highjackers have been making the estate tneir headquarters.. Shortly before 3 a. rn. Patrolman , George, on his beat, observed lights burning. He notified police head quarters and lhestrup with -several ohicers was dispatched to the house, Leap- Into Automobile. As the , officers approached, the house the lights flashed out and four men jumped, into an automobile which was parked in the driveway. lhestrup s shout to halt was an swered by a volley of shots. The officers returned the fire as the high jackers escaped in the darkness. The officers discovered the Par ker house had been' ransacked. Empty Bottles Found.- Empty bottles, which had con - tained liquor, were scattered about several rooms. Drawersand boxes and bureaus had been .searched thoroughly. In the basement every thing was topsy-turvy. ' -Costly pictures, which are prized by the Parkers, were lyirrg on the floor, but none were destroyed. M. J.

Hettwer, pastor of the church, said this morning that the four men who were routed by his housekeeper, Miss Mabel Bcs sler, 20, had not paid the threatened return visit. Recognition of Mexico Regarded as Certainty Wthere has been no attempt to pre scribe rigid and definite terms upon ' which a recognition of the Mexican government would be expressly, con ditioned. This we have deemed wholly unnecessary and the disavow al of the" Mexican representative of any policy of repudiation of obliga tion or confiscation of property- or vested rights, either . through retro active legislation ort future regula- tions, has the added value of being - spontaneous and unprompted.

It is equally true that they have thrilled to the world vision of the president ?his tremendous ideal ot universal fraternity. Friendship First Essential. "Mexico today 3 not merely plan ning a future of happiness and jus tice for all within her borders. Out of her new strength we are willing and eager to play our proper part in the creation of a new and wtter order that will lift ancient burdens from the back of humanity. "A first task, of course:-is finn and enduring friendship between Mexico and the United btates. Not only are we neighbors. but every other con sideration ooints to the wisdom of an understanding that goes beyond mere treaties and sinks its roots into the heart of each nation. We have the sarne political institutions, the same aspirations, the same ideals, the same goals. "Such a friendship, is fast torm- . f rr it ing.- I he governors ot lexas, iNew Mexico and Arizona your border states have already stretched out the hand of friendship, ..voluntarily telegraphing the president as their faith in the Stability, honesty and sincerity of my government. Plan National Program. "Our olan is to establish a na tional program based on order and justice. It is our firm beliet that the people of North America are just asaithful to their own high ideals. "Hence, nothing could better shield the dignity of both republics, as nothing could be more efficacious for the coitinuance of peaceful rela tions, than the operation of a com mission of this nature,, organized in accordance with recognized interna tional practices. , '',- "Present conditions in Mexico the stability of the government, the spirit of the people together with the plain statement of a sovereign people's purposes, all combine, it seems to me, to end misunderstand ing, and I have the hope that your government will feel justif ed in re cognizing the present government of Mexico and in resuming official re lations in order that with a spirit of true friendship and co-operation we may look forward to the neces sary rehabilitation of Mexico. Please permit me to thank vou for your courtesies and never-fail ing understanding. In the spirit of your great president you have not lacked in the appreciation of our struggle for liberty, nor have vou ever lost sight of the fact that the sovereignty of Mexico is the most sacred possession of our people. It is because of this attitude, that I am able to write to you in . such frankness and such fairness that you win understand this letter to be no mere political overture, but the hon est expression of an honest friend ship. v "Respectfully, "R.
