WOLCOTT SAVES
FREDER|CA'S STEAMER
Government Would Have Com
mandeered the Vessel But for
His Intervention.

Special Dispatch from Every Evening
Washington Correspondent
Washington Nav 81 Only the inter
vention Of Senator Wolcott has saved the
little town Of FREDERICK, in Kent county,
Delaware, from having its chief means Of
communication with the outside world
snatchcd away by the stern demands OF
war
FREDERICK lies on the Murderkill river,
- miles south of Dover. and is the center
of one Of the richest fruit and market
produce districts of the State, or the
nation either. for that matter. In spite
of this. the town is sin miles from the
nearest point on the Delaware railroad.
For some years, and particularly SINCE
railroad congestion made the shipment
of market produce by rail d0ubly difficult,
the farmers of the southeastern section Of
Kent county have shipped almost all
their produce ont of the district by the
steamer FREDERICK, manned after the town.
Last wear several thousand tons of vege-
tables, canned goods and fresh fruit were
carried 10 Philadelphia and Camden
markets in this manner, as well rs more
than 1000 passengers. Returning, the
Frederick has brought coa industrial
implements and other staples to her
home town and the surrounding country
But a few DAYS ago agents OF he Navy
Department boarded the FREDERICK as she
lay IN Philadelphia harbOr They had
been scouting round the Delaware u
tind q vessel suitable for reconstr uctlng
as hospital ship to be stationed at Nor
folk. The Frederick seemed excellent
for this purpose and the agents sent rec
concentrations To Washington that she
be Communicated Immediately
Farmers of the district, from Lebanon
to Milford, fearing that they would be
almost entirely cut of from the outside
world by such a step, held protest meet
ing and sent a delegation post-haSte to
ask Senator Nolcott, who happened then
10 be At his home at Dover, to assist
them.
On Tuesday the Senator took the matter
up with the Navy Department, presenting
an itemized list OF the supplies and
passengers carried In and out OF Kent
county by the Frederick during the past
wear. and pointing out that TO commander
the boat would not only work great hard
ship on the local population but could
also only result 10 further overtanng the
congested railroads Of Delaware
Last night Captain Pratt Of the Bureau
of Naval Operations notified Senator
Wolcott that las the steamer Frederick
seems indispensable in her present &C
tivitv. the Navy Department will drop
all Communicating proceedings IN her
case
