GOULD WEALTH
HAS INCREASED
Has Doubled in Value Under Con-
troll of George J. Gould

New York, June 6.-Under the man
aecment of George j. Gould the estate
of the late jay Gould is said To have
been more than doubled in value since
the death of the widow of the latter.
Personal fortunes of the Godlds have
increased proportlonately.
Criticisms directed at previous Gould
management of their railroads find no
basis for repetition AGAINST George j.
Could. Edwin. Howard and Helen
Gould. who were designated as co.
trustees i'm charge of the estate, had
bu, little part in the development of
the estate. il is said.
Real Aladdin's Lamp.
In its strong financial position,
therefore, the jay Gould estate has
proved "a vertable Aladdn's lamp
when it became necessary, as it often
did, to perform some financial wonders
with the Gould roads, particularly
when IL became necessary to extricate
one of the properties from a critical
situation.
At one time George j. Gould, with
the aid of the estates funds. loaned
the Missouri Pacific as high as $2O,-
oo0. goo without security to hold off
rece.vership. This was in 1894. Since
that date the estates funds have saved
various properties time and again.
In 1911. when the Missouri Pacific
sold the S25.0OO,00O notes which have
only recently been creating so much
trouble, the company owed the Goulds
$4,000 900. and at that time, although
they were paid off from proceeds of
the note sale, they agreed to loan an
additional $S.00O,OO0 If the company
needed IT, ana it did, although the
debt subsequently was paid

But very recently the estate has
stood between several roads and in
solycncy ON May | the Missouri Pa
rilic would have been due for de-
fault if Gould had not advanced 81, 600, -
O0o to help over it's immediate require
mcGts ON the same date George
Gould let the Wabash railroad have
100000 to pay interest on its receivers
certificates to avoid an insolvent re-
ownership.
ON June l Gould advanced the
Texas and Pacific $250,O0O To tide it
over some heavy maturing OBLIGATIONS;
and again on June it was the Gould
estate that saved the Missouri Pacific
railway from receivership 10y agreeing
to put up so per cent of the funds

THE VALUE OF VOCATIONAL
TRAINING

Vocational training To train the
worker is the greatest need Of this
country today. according to a chapter
ON this subject in the report to con-
gress 10y the commission Of national
aid TO vocational education.
The commission recommends that
the government give a maximum
appropriation Of $70Oo,o0o a year to
the states for vocational education.
The report in part, follows.
The kind of vocational education
most needed at the present is that
which is dcsi-ncd 10 prepare workers
for the more common occupations in
which the great mass of our people find
useful employment. Vocational train
Ing, To Doe most effective, should be re-
stricted Co persons more than Il years
Of age who have laid the foundations
of "a genera. education in the elemeu-
tary schools. Because OF the kind Of
workers t0 Doe reached and the charaC-
ter of the instruction 20 be given, this
vocational education should be Of less
than college grade.
THE states aided i'm part by the ma
tional government have already given
substantial encouragement to and Of
fercd fairly adequate opportunities for
training in the professions, in the arts
and sciences, and for leadership in
commercial ana industrial activities.
What we need now is practical
education Of secondary grade to reach
the great body Of our workers.
The American people have hardly
begun the work Of providing for the
practical education Of these millions Of
our productive workers. In this whole
country there axe fewer trade schools
than are 20 be found i'm the little Ger
man kiugd0m Of Bavaria with a popu-
nt.uu not much greater than that Of
New York city
There are more workers being
trained at public expense in the city
II Munich alone than IN the larger cit
les " the United states. representing
a population OF more than 12,0O0,0OO.
The greatest treasure which this
country holds today is the undeveloped
skill and vocational possibilities, not
only ot the millions of our workers
over. where but of the great army of
our school children.
"N0ratigual training is needed to
pr1t.I, substitute for the old appren-
l.eesaIr. Large scale production, eX-
tremo division OF labor and the all
euuWolug march of the machine have.
driven out the apprentice
ship system through which i'm simp-
.er age the young helpers were taught.
Vocational training is needed to in
rease wage earning power and to meet
.ae increasing demand for trained
workers. With the constantly increas-
ing demand upon our industries for
more and better goods. the supply of
trained workers is relatively diminish
ug
Vocational training is needed to
offset the increased cost of living.
With "a farming area practically sta
.iouarl: rapidly increasing popula-
ion, and an agricultural class whose
ability with present methods to meet
The demands for larger production re-
atNciy diminishing, our national APP
petite has outgrown both our national
arder and our national pocketbook."

For a New President For

Niagara Falls, Ont-Instead of ad-
journing abruptly, as expected, the
mediation proceedings will be prolong-
ed perhaps for another week.
The change was brought about as
a result of the visit of Minister Naon,
of Argentine, to Washington, where
he conferred with President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan. DR., Naon
brought back a spirit Of optimism and
some new ideas which he impaired
to Ambassador Da Cana, OF Brazil,
and Minister Sureze, of Chile.
The determination reached is to
keep the meditation board from for
nal adjournment, though there may
be a recess in another week or while
the search is continued for persons
eligible, according to the ideas set
forth in the conference, for proyl-
sional president of Mexico.
Although no definate plan has been
framed, all parties expressed a wish
to make renewed effort to effect
compromise.
There is every reason to believe
that the friction between Carranza
and Villa and the report that General
Huerta intends to retire in favor OF
