Fund Is Started for Parker
Citizens of Syracuse, N. Y., Plan a Benefit for the Negro Who Seized Czolgosz.
Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 10.—[Special.]—Syracuse people are raising a fund for James Benjamin Parker, who grappled with Czolgosz at Buffalo. A benefit will be given for him tomorrow night at the Grand Opera-House and subscriptions are being received.
Omaha Also Raising a Fund.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 10.—The people of Omaha were called on today by a local paper to contribute to a fund for James Benjamin Parker, the negro whose prompt action is credited with having saved the President’s life. It is suggested that if every town in the United States contributes a small amount a handsome sum will be realized.
