MEDALS FOR
RESCUE CREW
ARE APPROVED
Captain Fried's Rec
o~mmendation Must
Be Taken Through
Regular Channels

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-R5-
Captain George Fried's suggestion
that members of the lifeboat crew
Of the steamship America be award
ed lie saving medals as a result Of
their rescue az sea Of the crew of
the disabled steamer Florida, has
met with approval, but there is
necessary routine TO be complied
with. Captain Fried must formally
recommend the medals for the men
and the applications must be accom-
panied by affidavits describing the
rescue in come detail The sppli-
cations and affidavits must be filed
with the coast guard. and a board
appointed by the secretary Of the
treasury must pass upon them.
Captain Fried's suggestion made in
a radio message to the Associated
Press drew the comment from Rear
Admiral Billiard Of the coast guard
that he would be delighted II the
recommendations were made.
Almost simultaneously with Ad-
miral Billiards. statement a bill was
introduced by Representative Black
Of New York, which proposed that
congress tender its thanks TO Cap

Americas crew. The proposed mea-
sure would also authorize the award

for By others were made.
Mr.. Glasscock opened up the
three hour argument by submitting
a motion to dismiss the contest be-
cause the ~2urported notice Of contes.
to the speaker Of the house was in
sufficient.
B. ID. kimbrough, starting the
argument for Smith. contended that
his client had complied with the
Jaw in serving notice of his con-
test that he had at his own expense
secured certified copies Of the poll
lists and tally sheets and that he
did not know of the alleged failure
OF the district returning officer in
filing these records.

kimbrough stated that these rec
ords were given TO County Judge 4.
". Cameron of Hidalgo on the aft
ernoon of Jan. Z 10 be transmitted
to Austin, and charged Judge Cam
eron with negleeting to send these
records to the speaker of the
house along with the contest notice.
kimbrough charged that a political
ring known as the democratic party
of Hidalgo county dictates elections
IN that county through its alleged
power in a Mexican vote that IS
allegedly illegally cast.
When Judge Cameron wrote Mr..
Smith that he had not furnished him
with copies Of election returns and
poll lists and tally sheets as re-
CURED by Law. Mr.. Kimbrough said
he addressed a letter to Mrs. Jane
Y. McCRllum. secretary Of state, adj
vising her Of this fact and asking
an opinion from the attorney gen
eral as to whether Smith was re-
quired to pay the cost Of $l35 for
having these copies made.
Attorneys for Montgomery told the
committee he had defeated Smith BY
1886 votes. Smiths counsel count
cred with claims that 972 votes cast
in the election had not been account
ed for and they believed 1900 illeg-
al votes were counted. They also
~contended that action Of the county
commissioners court in refusing TO
count the Weslsco precinct votes de-
prived Smith OF a large number.

CAPTAIN FRIED
RECALLS RESCUE
BY GEORGE FRIED
Captain Of s. s. America

ABOARD s. 9. AMERICA, Jan. %.
-tP0(By Wireless to The Associ-
atsd Presx.)-On our homeward
bound voyage we experienced a sue
cession of westerly and Northwestern
ly gales with a very high rough sea
accompanied by heavy snow and hail
squalls. On January % we received
SOS calls from the American steamer
Dannedaike and the Italian steamer
Florida both vessels giving their po-
sitionS in latitude IS north and
longitude 60 west.
We decided to proceed to their as
sistant about noon, January -. We
we're than $50 miles north Of their
reported position.
We we're covered with ice in freeE-
ing weather with a heavy gale.
fhc bearings Of the Florida were
srTatic; that IS, they appeared so be
cause they were not checking with
his reported position.
Wednesday the weather moderated.
We asked the Florida TO obtain a
position but she informed Us they
had no navigation books as all equip
ment was destroyed. However, the
master had a seXtant and he took an
observation and gave US his obser-
waited attitudes. VIC Immediately
turned about, proceeding full speed
on our new course. As darkness came
on our s%earcnlignt vas lighted 20 he
could sec rs, and al $50 r. m, We
sighted the Florida dead ahead.
This proved the accuracy and ef-
ficicncv OF the radio compass with
out which the Florida could not have
been located.
Chief Officer Henry Manning with
eight members Of the crew were low
cred in r lifcboat and proceeded 10
the Florida.
Getting alongside the Florida was
very difficult owing 10 her heavy
list and her lee rail being under
water sending out a tremendous
surge. The Florida crew came off
one at n time, pulling themselves
through the water by a lire.
The captain was the last 10 leave
and informed officer Manning there
was none left behind.
The BOAT then. loaded with 81 men.
turned about and headed for the
America.
The weather b. this time had
reached gale force with violent rain.
Not a single man Of the florida's
rev was able 20 climb IN the ships
side unsssiStod. They were N a pitt
shle condition. They we're dazed and
hystericsl from their long exposure.
Chief Officer Manning Rad 40 be
RULED on board. Six of the Floridss
crew were severely injured and four
were very i'll. One man vas lost
overheard on Sunday.
At 10 2. m. we proceeded toward
Kew York leaving the Florids in a
sinking condition without lights.

al the time Lady Churchill visited
the Valley here last fall IN company
with other notables, she expressed
her admiration for the Lower Rio
Grande Valley and one day. while
dining 90 the Shary home, asked for a
second helping Of grapefruit, pro-

II was through Lady Churchill that
the Valley fruit was received at the

Mr.. Shary would not make the
