FIRST THOUGHT CARGO OF LUMBER WOULD BE RE- MOVED; DECIDED TO SEND VESSEL TO DESTINATION After being partly stabilized by pumping oil and water into the port compartments, the Steam- ship Frieda sailed today from the Porter Dock company’s pier short- ly after noon today for New York. The ship arrived in Key West was docked Wednesday morning. A leak on the starboard side had caused the vessel to take on sufficient water to cause a 15 degree list. It was at first thought the { necessary work of putting the ship in condition to sail would entail removal of the deck load of lum- ber, of which there is 667,000 The complete cargo is 2,- and | Tuesday night and feet. {375,000 feet of Douglas fir | spruce. Manager Charles Taylor, of the Porter company, had made all ar- | rangements to handle the unload- | ing operations and after signing i up about 100 men awaited the ar- | rival of George E. Bernard, rep- | resenting the United States Sal- vage Corporation. Mr. Bernard arrived from Mi- ami yesterday and immediately held a sur of the ship. At the | conclusion of the investigation it was decided there would be no necessity of removing the lumber. Late yesterday afternoon the pumps started to pump oil and water and the ship was soon float- ing on an almost even keel. An- nouncement was made that the voyage would be resumed this morning. The Frieda is bound from Los Angeles, Calif., to New York. En- tering the Caribbean Sea rough weather was encountered and the vessel began to list. When the condition of the ship became such as to warn of impending danger, the list showing 15 degrees, Cap- tain Gilway decided to put into | port and came to Key West. ‘SHOLTZ APPEALS IN INTEREST OF MANY CRIPPLES URGES FLORIDIANS TO MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS FOR BENE- FIT OF CRIPPLED CHIL- DREN’S FOUNDATION DAY | (Special to The Citizen) TALLAHASSEE, March 16- Urgent appeal to Floridians to give and give heartily on Satur- day, March 17, for benefit of | Crippled Children’s Foundation } Day was issued here by Governor David Sholtz, an enthusiastic worker for benefits for crippled children. “It is my hope that every pos- sible cent will be contributed § urday on the part of the people of the state for the fund,’ Gover- | nor Sholtz said here, “Mrs. Sholtz, whose interest in this cause exceeds mine, if that joins me in the request ‘to the people of the state that | they give and give for the aid of} those of the state who know not what it is to have four} healthy, sound limbs and a sound, | sturdy body | “Preliminary response the crying need of these youngsters! has been excellent, insofar as or-} ganization of the work for t campaign day is concerned, a deep in my heart, I know the re-| sponse, from a financial view- point, will be as fine.” Proceeds from the day w to the Harry-Anna Home crippled children.
