ED EFFECTS HEROIC RESCUE (Continued from First Page) at 6:30 p. m. we sighted the Florida dead ahead. This proved the accuracy.and ef- ficiency of the radio compass with- out which the Florida could - not have been located. We took & posi- tion on the ¥lori weather beam & quarter of & mile distant with the weather overcast, light snow squalis. and threatening. % Chiet Officer Hary Manning with eight gnembers of the crew, Junior Engiler W. J. Clark, Boatswain Mate A. Wilson, Chief Storekeeper 8. Bracco, Sallmaker J. Palts, Quarter. master W, Trettin, Seaman ¥. Xel- lam, Seaman J. Harobin and Mate V. Waleck were lowered in No. 1 lifeboat and proceeded to the Floris da, . Very Difficult Getting alongside the Florida was very difficult owing to her heavy list and her lee rail being under water mending out & tremendous surge. Getting nearer Officer Manriing found all hands ready to abandon ship. Maneuvering the life bonst as close as permimible to the Klorida he threw a line on hoard, keeping at & distance of about 50 feet and in- structed the Florida crew to come off onc at a time, pulling themselvos through the water by this line to the boat where they were dragged on board by the boat: crew. The bow oarsman spoke Itallan and translated all instructions and orders. Thinge went along in this fashion until the line carried away due to a heavy surge. Hauled Back A man half-way over had to be hatled back on board the Florida The lifeboat was again maneuvered muccessfully and a line placed aboard and thus succeeded in get- ting the entire crew off and into our boat. The captain was the last to leave and informed Officer Manning that there was nono left behind and no pets on board, The hoat, then loaded with .41 men, nine members of the boat crew and 33 rescued, turned about #nd headed for the America which was then in a position to the lee- ward of the Ilorida. Gale Forve The weather by this time had reached gale force - with violent rain and snow squalls with a high, rough sea running. Y Pull A The boat proceeded running to leeward, the oarsmen, being assisted by the able members of the rescued crew. Meanwhile the America man- euvered into position and the boat reached the ship's starboard sid The ship's side was strung with lad- . Gers, Monkevropes and cargo nets and our highly prized two home- made breeches buoy which proved invaluable in getting th> injured men on bhoard. Not a single man of the I'lorida’s crew was able to climb up the ship's side unassisted, They weré In a pit- iable condition, half of theni being near naked and the other half with very little clothing. They were glazed and _hysterlcal from their long exposure. With the restued all hoisted and:lifted safely on board and rushed below for ur- gent medical attention the boat’s crew came up and the boat was cut adrift, Owing to the high sca run- ning it was impossible to holst the lifeboat without prospects of severe injury to members of the crew. Pulled Aboard Chief Officer Manning had to be pulled up and on board by Mr. King and the first assistant engineer. 8ix of the Florida’s crew were severely injured and four were very ill. One man was lost overboard on Sunday. At 10 p. m. all was secured and we proceeded toward New York leaving the Florida in a sinking con- dition without lights. I do not think she could outlive the night in this gale. We now found out why it was so difficult to locate her, Duo to her heavy list and the loss of her rudd.r her captain believed she would cap- size 1f he did not keep his engines turning over slowly. He was slcaming at about three knots, changing his position con- stantly. As commanding officer of the America I want to recommend that every member of the boat crew _bo presented with the treasury de- partment gold medal which is pre- sented for courageous acts of this nature. I feel that thesc men are entitled to high decorations by the United Btates government., It was a splendid piece of work. New York, Jan. 24 (®—Triumph- ant for a second time In a battle with 1he sca, Captain George Fried of the United States liner America was headed toward port today with the rescued crew of the Italian freighter Florida. “Rescued full crew Florida. Total 32, Chief Officer Harry Manning in charge, Whole westerly gale. Life boats lost. Detalls later.” 350 Milc Race Those staccato sentences of Cap- tain Fried's message to the United States lines last night told the es- sentials of the happy ending of a grim drama of the wintry Atlantic which opened when the America be- gan her 350 mile racc with death Tnesday. The message recalled a similar communication sent by Captain Fried almost three years ago to the day when he told of the rescue of the crew of the British freighter An- tinoe against heavy odds of sca and wind. Driving his ship through the wel- ter of a mid-winter storm and taking his bearing on the disabled ship by means of a radio direction finder, Captain Fried steamed more than a day and a night on his mission of 'Am standing by the B. & Flor- 1 The long vigil kept by shore radio stations to learn the outcome of the race of the America to snatch 32 men from the threat of death was rewarded by that (crec message at 9 p.om. Before that there had been frag- ments.of messages indicating that the America was feeling about in the darkness for the Florida with 1he rervous antenna of her search- light. - Scarches Three Hours The America wanted to know if the storm-weary crew of the Klorida could see the beam. It was three hours later that the linek located the object of bes search " As the searchlight of the America was focused on the Florida, w was interest in tho contest between men ond the elements focused on the Florida and her fate when it be- came known that the American tank- er Dannedaike, which also had ask- ed for aid mear where the ltalian ship was foundering, apparently had surmounted her difficulties. ‘While pushing on toward the Flor- ida, the America's radio advised land stati yesterday that the Danne- daike's crew had rigged a jury rud- der and were soeking shelter at Ber- muda. ‘The America’s feat in locating the Florida and taking off the crew of the sinking vessel was cmphasized by the fact that two other ships nearer at hand had been unable to locate her and had been forced to abandon the search. Short of Fuel The Dollar liner President Harri- son, ending & werld cruise, found herself running short of fuel oil while she sought in vain for the Ilorida, The German freighter Yorck,” which also had hurried to- ward the stricken ship when the ap- peal for help was sounded, reported searching eight hours befors aban- doning the quest, While the President Harrison and the Yerck ‘cruised on dead reckon- ing seeking the distrcssed ship, the Mlorida was concentrating the power of her emergency wireleas set on giv- ing Captain Fried her position. Bound for Italy “Yhe Florida, an Italian tramp steamer was bound for an Italian port from Pensacols, Fla., with a cargo of pine pitch when disaster overtook her 800 miles cast of the Virginia capes. The America was bound for New York when Captain Fried turned her prow south to answer the BOS. of the Klorida. Orew Near Oollapse New York, Jan. 2¢ UP—The New York American today prints a copy- righted ragio dispatch from the steamship America saying the crew of the freighter Florida were near collapse when rescued. They were in & weak condition,” raid the dispatch. “Many of them were stripped to the waist and their clothing was badly torn. The in- jured ones were holsted aboard by breeches rig. All were very tired and nearing collapse.” The niessage added that the Flor- ida, was ubandoned. 'he dispatch said the rescue of the Florida crew was effected by Chief Officer Manning and elght members of the America’s crew and required two hours, A violent squall prevented the lifeboat frow getting ‘alongside the Florida and forced the 32 men of tho freighter's crew to swim to the boat. Twenty-one are confined to the ship's hospital suffering from expos- uro and injury, only one of them in a serious condition. He is the chief engineer who has a broken leg and fractured ribs, The dispatch said the radio oper- ator of the Florida was worthy of the highest commendation as he spent three days continuously at his key. No Fuss Wanted New York, Jan. 25 UP—If the wife of one 2nd the mother of the other have anything to say about it therc will be no “fuss” made over the heroes of the rescue of the crew of the steamer Florida when they get back to port, which will probably be Saturday. Botl: Mrs, George Iried, wife of the captain of the rescue ship Amer- 1ca, and Mrs. Anna Manning, mother of Henry Manning, the chiet officer of the America who had charge of transferring the Florida's passengers, said today they knew the heroes would prefer to have no demonstra- tion made over them “My husband dpesn't like a lot of fuss,” Mrs. Fried said nd I won't have all this running around to theaters and receptions.. He will be tired out when he gets in and he has 1o rest up before sailing again next Wednesday." Mrs. Manning was just as certain that her son would not care for pub- lic receptions. No Fum “I know that he will not want a fuss made over him when he res she said. Mrs. Fried spoke of the festivities in honor of Captain Fried three years ago after he accomplished the rescuc of the 25 man crew of the British freighter Antinoe in circum- stances similar to the rescue of the Tlorida’s crew, and said she would not permit him to be subjected to such a strain again. “God has been véry ggod.” she said, “to permit my husband to ar- rive in time for the rescue. It is Just wonderful; one of those things we expect may happen once in & lifetime, but this time it has hap- pened twice and both times my hus- band lived up to his responsibility.” Although both women hoped to save their men from “fuss” there were indications today that Captain Fried and his chief officer would not be permitted to remain in the back- ground quite as much as their mod- esty might make them want to. Radio station WOR of Newark, N. J., for one, announced that it had completed arrangements with the United States lines to have Captain W'ried and Manning speak over tho radio as soon as they had a chance to get some rest. Other plans for their reception were still in the form- ative stage.

Mais 8¢t.—Greenhouses Maple MAN ALWOST BLIND FINED FOR SELLING (Continued from First Page) ties were found in various parts of the tenement and other cans in the cellar were not taken as they hal the appearance of having been there for some time. Officer Licbler gave similar testi- mony, adding that Galaban begged to.be relcased on his promise that he would diacontinue the sale of liquor. He was ill and could hardly see, the officer said, and his tene- ment was the filthiest he had ever sct foot in, besides being scantily furnished. Mrs. Bernard Carlson of 28 West Pearl strect testified that her hus- band was brought heme intoxjcated and had bottles of il smelling liquor on his person. The Bunday before Christmas she tralled him to Galaban's tenement. He told her he could go therc as often as he wish- ed, as Galaban was his friend. Denies Liquor Affocted Hight Galaban testificd that he has suf- fered from nerve and muscular rheumatism for some time and his sight has been falling him. Ho ad- mitted that the drinks liquor, but he emphatically denied that this had anything to do with his poor sight, He was forced to discontinue work two years ago and sinco then he has managed 1o exist on money received from an insurance com- pany in addition to what he had saved. He kept hoarders who made it possible for him to meet his rent and he spant little for his own sus- tenance, Of all the cans, glasscs and bot- tles in evidence, he admitted owner- ship of only one jug in which was a liquor of a peculiar greenish color. He said he had an extract which a friend gave him and which he used to color his own liquor. It was a Swedish drink, he said, and he used it personally bul did not sell it. Boarders who no longer live with him brought in the other articles from time to time, and the man who was visiting him when the police made the rald was Carl Johnson, & former boarder, who brought him some home made wine which he #aid he got on Buassett street. Some of the 5 gallon cans formerly (on- tained kerosene which hoarders used in a stove to heat one of the rooms, and at least two cans were in a closet in his tenement when e took up rosidence there last May. Contradicts Policemen As for the testimony of the two officers relative to his admission concerning the sale of liquor, Gala- ban declared that he had not told them he charged $1 a pint or paid $40 & can. Relative to beggin g off, he said he simply told Officer Lieb- ler he would never again permit his boarders to bring liquor into his tenement, Cross-examined by Prosecuting Attorney Woods, Galaban admitted that he has had no boarders in sev- eral weeks und he knew that the burnt sugar and other parapher- nalia was in the tenement. Richard Postl, who lives in the same bullding, testifled that a man named Stella who now lives in Hart- ford, had a tencment on the floor whero Galaban's tenement is located and it was “a beehive.” Everyone knew Btella was selling liquor, Postl said, but Gadaban, so far as the witness knew, had never violated the liquor law. 1awyer Asks For Mercy Attorney McDonough saild Gala- ban had told him his story a num- ber of times, always denying that he had sold liquor.: He has been seriously {1l the attorney said, and is now practically penniless with no friends to look after him, and en- tirely unable to work. He asked the court to be merciful in meting out a penalty. Prosecuting Attorn:y Woods declared that Galaban, de- spite his condition, would go right back to his tenement and resume the sale of liquor if allowed his free- dom. “He barked his denials on the witness stand,” he said, and Judge Saxe observed that there was no need for going into the case at length, as he was satisfied that ihe officers had been truthful and there was no question in his mind of Gala- ban’s guilt. This experience should teach him that he cannot succeed by selling liquor, and he should take other means of supporting himself, the judge remarked.

She also ciaimed that she was obliged to ex- pend sums of money for repairs to put the building in condition, and; that the income was not suffici to meet the expenditures and the interest due on the mortgages. She destified further that on May 15, 1928 the defendants induced her to quit-claim the premises to Beng- ston on a promise that they would sell the premises and pay her back a certain amount of the original in- vestment. Mrs. Meade said she was under °‘the impression that the house would be in the defendant's possession until a time it was a paying proposition, ‘The defendants entered a denial, claiming that the price paid at the time was reasonable and that no fraud was attempted. They also de- ried that there was to have been any consideration for the quit-claim deed. The hearing was still in progress at press time. William E.
