The F. 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. Gleason. 6908 North Thir
, tieth street and Lawrence Michaels
7302 North Thirtieth street heard the
shots and saw the escape.
' Rev. Julius 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.
''There are certain pending matters
in ontroveriy between .the tw.o gov
ernliients and our respective hation-
als. ' but these will he determined J

George Roberts Buys Tag
In Salvation Army Drive
George A. Roberts, millionaire
grain broker, in the act of being the
first officially tagged by Mrs.
Charles J. Hubbard in the Salvation
Army $90,000 drive for a new rescue
to a deep and lasting realization. of
.what Mexico owes to the idealism
of President Wilson so nobly and
patiently exhibited in the' unhappy
years during t which our oppressed
millions fought against the injustices
which weighed them down for cen
turies. 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

"R. V. PESQUEIRA."
