MEDAL OF HONOR
FOR SIBRM. MR
Fairbanks Operator Who Warned Ho
tel Guests of Danger at Risk of
His Life May Get Reward.
FAIRBANKS.—As a reward for the
courage and bravery he displayed in
risking his own life in order that the
Hvcb of others might be saved, Wil
liam J. Callahan, cleric Of the lo
cal signal corps office, is in line for
a high honor bestowed by the Unit
ed States government on Its soldiers
for meritorious conduct. At the time
of tbe Third avenue hotel fire on the
morning of January 25th, it was Cal
lahan who aroused tbe guests in the
hostelry and thereby prevented what
might have beet} a holocaust, and al
though one life was lost in spite of
his bravery.
Evidence concerning the incident is
now being collected by Lieutenant
C. L. Eastman, commanding officer
of the Second section of the Alaska
military telegraph and cable lines,
who states that it will be forwarded
to Washington as soon as possible
with his recommendation' thalt the
certificate of merit be awarded to
Callahan.
When the fire broke out in the Third
avenue hotel, Callahan was acting
messenger of the signal corps. He
had delivered a message to the oc
cupant of a room on the third floor
of the hostelry and had just left the
room on his way downstairs when
he discovered that the corridors of
the building on that floor were all
aflame. He immediately gave the
alarm in the room he had just left
and then made the rounds of all of
the rooms in both halls. He then
went to the floor below and did like
wise and there are numbers of those
who escaped from the burning build
ing with only slight hurts who are
ready to testify that they owe their
Jives to Callahan’s persistency in
arousing them. In fact, it is at tlie
instance of some of them that Lieu
tenant Eastman is making the rec
ommi ndation for the bestowing of the
honor upon the signal man.
A certificate of merit is the high
est honor which can be bestowed by
the government on a soldier of the
United States army in times of peace.
The certificate carries with it an in
crease of $2 per month in the pay
of the recipient for the remainder r
the time he serves in the army, o
for life if he is retired for reason
of age or length of service.
Certificates of merit are not award
ed to a soldier for meritorious con
duct under orders. They are for ac -
tions which are purely voluntary on
the soldier’s, part as was so in the
present instance.
