NO TRACE OF AsroR YACHT
Friends of Missing Cruising Party
Hope Vessel Has Reached Port

New York, Nov 2O.-Every added
hour of uncertainty deepens the anx-
iety felt for Colonel John Jacob Aston
his son. Vincent, and Richard Peters,
a cousin of Mrs. Rstor, all of whom
have now been out OF touch with the
world for a fortnight when the miss
ing yacht Nourmahal was last spoken.
Shipping masters point out that if
the Nourmahal was blown out of her
course by the late West Indian hurri-
cane, she might have great difficulty
in making port again, as her cruising
radius, like that OF all yachts. is COM
Daratively small, and would soon be
exhausted in fighting head winds.
Hope for her safety rests in the
assumption that she is now in port.
but that, owing to the interruption
of the cable service, il is impossible
to get word of her arrival to America.
The Nourmahal has no wireless and.
failing advices from West Indian
ports, news of her must come from
some ship that has spoken or sighted
her.

Labor and Trade Schools

In its plea for industrial education
the American Federation of Labor at
the Toronto convention represents a
more progressive attitude on the part
of trades unionism. When ii urges
that I'VE must in some way in our
educational system acquire an equiva-
lent to our old apprenticeship systemY
it recognizes that the policy which
has resulted virtually in the abolition
of the old apprenticeship system has
been mistaken. The trades in the
large cities are recruited from the
country, and the city boy is kept at a
disadvantage. His opportunities are
limited, as Dr. Charles W. Eliot point
ed out few days ago at Kenyon un-
iversity, because the unions try to
limit the number of apprentices a
shop may have and they usually allow
nothing like a sufficient number to
maintain the trade"
AS a remedy the committee of the
American Federation of Labor, of
which John Mitchell is the chairman.
calls for the establishment of indus.
trial schools in connection with the
public school system. Technical ed
ucation of the workers is now general
ly regarded as public necessity. In
cities like New York, Philadelphia
and Boston, separate Misunderstanding
schools, such as they are, mark be-
ginning in this direction yet at the
start organized labor frequently view
ed free trade schools with hostility
and tried to prevent their establish
ment. 1t is a favorable sign that
trades unionsm should look less UNI
kindly upon the apprenticeship sys-
TEN and efficient industrial education,
because it promises better conditions
for boys and girls who are to be the
workmen and workwomen of the ris-
ing generation.
To make the trades schools thor
ough and practical as the American
Federation of Labor insists, is the
great need. If the manual training
and industrial schools have so far fail
ed in this respect it is because they
have not kept close enough in mind
the old system of apprenticeship,

pared by experience to follow scien-
tific training is in the higher technical

EXPRESSES SORROW FOR
TROUBLE BROUGHT UPON
PARENTS-sIMMoNs' TRIAL.
TOMORROW. =

Pretty Virda Davidson, not yet 16,
today in the presence of her par
ents at the county probation office
at the court house, broke down and
between her sobs made a complete
breast of her relations with Will
liam Simmons; the young Chicago
drummer, who will face Justice
Stocker at $3.50 tomorrow morning
on statutory charge preferred by
/, the girls parents.
The girl expressed sorrow for the
trouble she brought upon her par
ents, Samuel Davidson and wife,
04003 Mayfair street, and said that
she was now ready to tell the whole
truth of her relations with Sim
mons.
Prosecuting Attorney Fred C.
Pugh, who has taken personal
charge of the case, says that the
evidence is strong against young
Simmons, and that if the girl sticks
to her story there is no question as
to his guilt.
The Davidson girl will remain in
the custody of the probation office,
as her parents will not take the
chance of having her testimony
tempered with, and charge that two
attempts have already been made
to reach her by c. ID. ST. Morris,
one of the attorneys for young SIM
mons. One attempt was when st.
Morris boarded the N. P. train at
Pasco when the girl was on her
way home in the custody of Pro-
baton O,iicer John Clifford. The
second attempt to reach her was
made yesterday. when st. Morris
tried to get an interview with the
girl at the probation office.
Simmons is wealthy and has hired
counsel that will make every effort
| to get him out of his predicament.
He is glove salesman and travels
for factory owned by his father.
He is a college man, an all round
good fellow and thinks it "deuced
shame" that he be subjected to the
"annoyances" already imposed on
him.
Simmons met the Davidson girl
at the hotel Madison, where she
was temporarily in charge of the
telephone booth. After she was
shifted to the Victoria. he followed
her over there. After leaving Spo-
kane Simmons and the girl went to
Rathdrum to call on his trade. and
then by a circuitous route proceed
ed to North Yakima, where they
were arrested.
The Davidson girl. prior to her
employment with the telephone
company. worked in the pattern de-
partment at the Palace store. She
dresses with great taste, is neat
and attractive in her manner, and
apparently too bright to become In
volved in the serious escapade into
which she is now drawn. She will
probably be sent to some correc
tional institution.
