The Piatt amendment authorizes American intervention in the Island In case that country's stability was ever threatened.

PARTON Special Comipond.nt Th OakUBd TKJBVHS NFW YORK, Jan. 24. It Is a knight errant of the sea who directed the rescue of the crew of the Italian freighter Florida, 800 miles off the Vlrg' 'a Capes.

Exactly three years ago day, on January 24, 1926, Captain George Fried, then in command of the President Roosevelt, stood by the crippled British freighter Antlnoe In mid-ocean In a boiling sea and In a four-day battle, unsurpassed tor heroism In nautical annals, saved the lives of, the crew of twelve; There was a blaze of world acclaim which jielded a parse of more than to the Roosevelt's crew, a medal for Captain Fried from King George of England, a silver cup from Germany, resolutions from the congress of the United States and almost ship load of gifts for master and men. -Captain Fried may have been thinking of that black night of three years ago when the wireless again snarled its summons for another tourney, against the waves, with lives at stake. MESSAGES BRIEF. As in his previous great sea exploit, Captain Frled's messages telling of the America's rescue of the crew, of the Florida Wednesday night, in a raging ea, were brief and laconic. He first radioed that he was standing by the Florida and then, an hour later, came a second message saying that all hands were safe "full details later." This modest -down east Skip- per, booked at the Neptune dob here, where the old salts banc out, as one of the bravest and most competent sea aptalns who ever stood on a bridge, Professional opinion, however, is not rcijuireu mi csiaimsn mis.

ju rescue of the crew of the slnkui Antlnoe on a wintry sea in Is a saga of seamanship which all the world' heard and applauded. The President Roosevelt was en her way to Europe. When the distress call of the Antlnoe was heard there was another SOS from the British freighter Larlstan, also in mid-ocean. Captain Fried had to decide quickly. There seemed to be possibility of reaching the Antlnoe, with less of a chance of find ing the Larlstan.

OVERCOMES ERROR. Proceeding to th supposed loca tion of the Antlnoe, Captain Fried found -that the position was 100 miles in error. His further search through the night was by delicate directional radio calculations. Finally finding hi.neelf stll St miles in error, he felt his way through the fog and sleet by cal culations of wind and current. It was noon, January 24, when he came alongside.

It took Captain Fried fonr sleepless days and nights to save tbe crew of the Antlnoe, bat -save them be did. Tbe first Ufa boat lowered to the ravenous ee was swamped like an egg Shell, with two men swept away. OH was poured on tbe sea. Ropvs were fired from the Lyle gun. Lines were fired by rockets.

Floats and barges were launched. In one last desperate chance tbe life boats were trlr 1 again. The 12 half frozen and starred men were taken off the sinking balk. Captain Fried and bis men were swamped nnder an avalanche off gifts and honors. New Tork turned loose a ram pant celebration on February 14, with Grover Whalen, in his frock coat and high hat, leading the parade.

Then they all went back to sea, perhaps to be forgotten, had not this new hazard, with the same gallant response, revived their memories. RISES FROSI RANKS. Captain Fried was born and reared in Worcester, Mass, ancestors were of New England seafaring -stock. He 'oined the navy at the age of 20 and was assigned to the U. S.

24. CP) Carrying with It senate approval and senate amendments, the first deficiency bill today was on itaJvay lo conference. Of the two principal amend ments, one provides $24,000,000 for prohibition enforcement; the other would make public hearings by treasury department committees on tax refunds involving more than $10,000. The fund to aid liquor law en forcement was voted Tuesday, but the tax refund amendment was not approved until late yesterday, only a short time before the senate roll call on the deficiency bill. It was a compromise from an amendment offered by Senator McKellar of Tennessee, which would have taken the refund cases involving more than 110,060 from the bureau of Internal revenue, and would have turned them over to the board of tax appeals.

OPPOSED BY MELLON. Secretary Mellon opposed the $24,000,000 addition for enforce ment and he was also against Mo Kellar's first proposed amend ment. In addition a number of the Tennesseean's colleagues disagreed with him. most of them declaring that it would put too much work on the board of tax1 appeals. Mc Kellar then amended his proposal to make the tgx refund hearings public, and an agreement was quickly reached.

Throughout the debate on original McKellar proposal there was criticism or the present system of tax refunding. Couzens, of Michigan, contended that the treas ury should first assert the claims, then make the testimony and doc-uments in tho case public and afterward ask congress to appropriate the necessary funds. SECRECY ASSAILED. Senator Norrls, of Nebraska, assailed what he termed the secret handling of tax cases, declaring it was detrimental to the public interest. If the amendment to the deficiency bill are approved by the house, the measure goes to the president.

Ho has not indicated his attitude toward it, but differ- of opinion in the house on he addition for prohibition enforcement have already developed. Tho deficiency bill as finally passed by the senate carried In comparison with as approved by the house. Both tho seriate and house approved the provision calling for to be expended in tax refunds.

None of these uould be made to stick in court when the authorities conducted an investigation. In fact, out of nearly a score of legal actions or charges, suits and arrests, tho Rikers have always bobbed up serenely. Mrs. Riker, however, explains that her husband is a victim of his "kindly nature." "He is too kindheartcd," she says. "He is always being con-.

genial and getting txken in." Riker denied that there were any plans for a religious revival on foot, as outlined in the expose. "There was a writer down here for a time getting np publicity on Holy City. I saw some of It and it was wonderfully, written. These exposes mean nothing to us. We've been through them berore.

Holy City is always open for Inspection. We are Just a colony of honest, clean folk at--tending to our own business. We try, always, to be courteous to visitors." Various colony members stood together In Riker's defense. Miss Winifred AUlngton, accountant, treasurer and recording secretary, was notable among this group. She also had heard of the publicity that wan to be given Holy City, but did riot guess the-form it was to take.

She declared, however, thut "investigations" and "exposes" are nothing new to her. WOMAN RECOUNTS FOLLOWING "I was working as a stenographer at the.

Mis Allingloii declared that she Was suspicious of Sam Tyler, the reporter Is alleged to have masqueraded as an architect and gained Riker's construction plans for a "bly ampltheater." Tyler was too "flowery" In his prajse of Holy City, said Miss Allington, and she told some of the colony members the night before he left, she declares, that he would "bear watching." The secretary said sho woe paid 410 salary ror her worn with the colony. She turned all money and property Into the colony when she Joined and whenever she needed money for clothing or supplies she asked Riker and he gave It to her without question.

Miss Alllngtow taufht Riker' classes for four years in the east before she joined the colony on this coast, she said. MEMBERS DENY CARNIVAL PLANNED. I. B.

"We've got. no money hero for lhaj," suld Fisher. "We work, and earn a living, but that would take 'real' money. There's something wrong somewhere. I knew they Intended to advertise Holy City, but there Is nothing to expose." Fisher Is a mechanic who operates the Holy City garage.

He is also bishop under "Father" Riker in tho church activities of the colony. "Riker waa stringing those men along when he went to the-hotel and listened to tllr 'he said. "He has to string people sometimes- there's so mauy cranks hunt him up." In regard to the colony "Bishop" Fisher laughed long and loudly. "All the women here are elderly," he said.
