cided to postpone further action on the
objection until the assembling of the

No Trace Found Of the Missing Wilbur
L. Peterson.

Columbia Falls, Me-, Nov, 20.--Al-
though half a hundred residents of the
town have searched the woods for two
days, dragging the mill pond and river,
no trace has yet been found of Wilbur
H. Peterson, who wandered away from
his home before daylight Saturday clad
only in night clothes and stockings. Pet
erson had been in i'll health for some
time and was attended by his wife and
daughter.
Early Saturday morning he left his
bed and walked to the door. His wife
followed but before she could reach him
he had opened the door and was swallowed
up in the blackness outside. Since that
moment not the slightest trace of him
has been found
All day Saturday the rain fell in tor
rents and yesterday there was cold
northwest wind which made even those
clad for the weather shiyer, so that
friends, last night, had not much hope
of finding the man alive.

CAPTAIN ROBERTSON, OF
WRECKED STEAMER, IS
EXPECTED HOME TONIGHT

Captain Archibald Robertson. of the
his home, at 167 Argyle place, Airing
ton, late this afternoon, after an alb.
sence of three weeks. We're it not
for the wrecklng Of the vessel under
his command he would have been home
last night. Instead a message by tele-
phone reached Mrs. Robertson from
the Ward line Office in New York ar
$3.50 O'Clock that the captain had just
telephoned from Norfolk, Va, that he
had been brought in from sea IN the
steamship Hamilton with his first Off
Ger and three of his crew, rescued just
before the Merida sank into its watery
grave, 30 feet below the waves.
The captain stated that he would be
kept busy for several hours helping to
send the passengers to New York. The
first and second class passengers were
being sent by rail, and the third-class
and crew were going north by the
steamship Princess Anne. Nearly all
their baggage went down with the
Merida.
Captain Robertson started for New
York by rail early this morning and
will first report to his employers at the
office of the Ward line. He will then
visit his family in Arlington. Mrs.
Robertson said last night that she
could not understand how sl.ch al ac-
cident could have hap ened. Her hus-
band had BIN a sea-faring man for
forty years and had never encountered
a disaster before. She aws convinced
that blame could not attach to her
husband, as the Admiral Farragut had
rammed the Merida amidships and had
evidently gone out of its way.
The Robertsons have lived in Airing
ton about sixteen years n have \
family of four daughters, n being
Mrs. Charles Rowe, and son. One
OF the younger daughters attends the
Kee--y High School.

TRADES COUNCIL
RAISING FUNDS
FOR 'NAMARAs
Essex Central Organization Will
Appoint Committee to
Take Charge.

Arrangements are being made today
by the officers of the Essex Trades
Council to select committees to visit
every branch of the council and solicit
contributions for the monster fund TO
be used to defend the Mcnamara
brothers, charged with engineering the
dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times.
in which twenty-one lives were lost.
This action is the result of a letter re-
ceived from the headquarters of the
American Federation of Labor at
Washington, d.. C., signed by President
Samuel Gompers and other national
leaders of labor.
The %extraditing of John ]. McNamara
and his brother. James W. Mcnamara.
from Indiana to California without the
prisoners being given a hearing or
chance to procure counsel was de-
nouneed in the letter as lain kidnap-
ping. Not only do the labor leaders
wish TO get means which will enable
them to have the best lawyers in the
country defend the accused men, but
a movement to push the prosecution
of the kidnapping charge made against
Detective Burns is on foot. The Burns
detective agency was bitterly assailed
in the letter as having been used II
lighting organized labor for many
years. The improbability of the Nc
Namara brothers to obtain a fair trial
in Los Angeles, where the feeling Is SO
intense against organized labor, was
also referred to iii the letter.
There promises TO be a climax to the
fight between union bakers and their
bosses in the HIP section in the
controversy over the alleged unsani-
tary and unsafe conditions of several
shops in that dit .rict. An affidavit,
nude by some of the delegates, stated
the conditions in some OF the shops
they are protesting are unfit for human
beings to work in, n hat the bread
made there cannot be clean under the
circumstances. II the boss bakers do
not make a decided change in their
places within two weeks the union
men have decided to quit and tie up
the trade. The visits mlde by the
factory inspectors as to the safety of
these shops in case of fire were pro,
nounced by the delegates to consist
of & chat 18th the boss, and Their. the
matter ended.
The jewelers. and polishers had their
weekly argument. George Bessinger,
of the J ,welers. asserted his body was
enti ed to the support of the polishers,
because a polisher of jewelry Is really
q 1eweler. George Leary, representing
cha nnltrharo 2annunFnd pnocin0or
without mincing words, declaring the
latter mad his staten ,nt knowing 1t
was untrue. a1
Members of the council who are not
jewelers. or polishers were pleased
when a motion to appoint a non-parti-
san committee to look into the rights
of both trades bodies. was carried by
q standing vote. Leary declared, how
ever, his men would never enter into
any conference with the jewelers., and
in the future Bessinger's colleagues
need look for no quart, c from the pol
ishers.
