VIOLA DAVIDSON IS
FOUND AT MINEOLA
Brooklyn Girl, Missing Week,
Was Enjoying Life on Toy
Banks Funds,

Viola Davidson, missing week has
been found. An agent OF the Brooklyn
Children's Society discovered her In
Mineola late Friday night and allayed
the frantic anxiety OF her mother. Mrs.
Edward F. Davidson of % Gates avenue.
Brooklyn. Is soon as the fifteen-year-o
girl could be induced to admit her real
name. She Is none the worse for her
experience.
The case has stirred Commissioner
Enright into something like a show OF
irritation. He announced yesterday that
the Bureau OF Missing Persons. whose
methods got such a sad showing up at
the time OF the Ruth Cruger case and
which was supposed to have been fitted
out with new set of gears guaranteed
to produce speed. was to have another
going over There would be a thorough
investigation. he said. of the failure Of
the police to sound a general alarm for
Miss Davidson promptly. 1t was an
nounced also that the bureau will be
open at night again.
Meanwhile Edward Yunsaers, a
printer OF 3l9 East 120th street. started
new fuss His daughter, Florence. f1t-
teen. failed to return from work in a
department store Thursday night He
notified the East lo6th street station
that night, he said, and yesterday, thirty
six hours later, a detective came to his
home. asked questions. and began a
search. The girl was struck by an au-
tomob'le two years ago and has been
subject since to attacks Of illness.
Viola Davidson attracted the attention
of Preston b. Chapman when she was
seen on the streets OF Hampstead and
Mineola after s o'clock in the evening
1t is still light at s O'Clock. but neverthe-
less Is the prim hour which the law
makers of that section have set as cur
few. So Mr.. Chapman deduced Sher-
lockily that Miss Davidson did not know
the customs OF the province and must be
a stranger.
The girl is talented, full Of animation
and tired, so she said, OF nothing to do at
home. She sings and dances. and it was
great song and dance she gave Mr..
Chapman, saying her name was Virginia
Clayton OF Prospect place. Brooklyn.
But in the end she revealed her name
II appears she broke open a toy bank
and got funds for an excursion which
included Coney Island. North Beach and
few other summer amusement resorts

EDITOR, 81, RETURNS
TO LIFE OF SAILOR
Wanhope, Formerly Of the
"Call." Has Shipped Be-
fore the Mast.

Somewhere on the high seas. battling
great winds and eludns submarines. Is
the stout merchantmen Tippecanoe. and
on that ships articles Is listed the name
OF Joshua Wanhope. So, able bodied sea-
man. There is nothing extraordinary
In a sailor OF that age feeling the nos
talgia OF the sea again. for Is 1t not
written that those who go down to the
sea IN ships never lose the call Of the
tide? The significance that attaches to
Joshua Wsnhope's name Is that for the
past Ave years he has been associate
editor OF the call, and for years before
that was known as a clever writer on
Socialist topics.
But those long years OF sitting at a
desk and grinding out articles and edi-
torials could not stifie the old longing
for adventure. Fighting capitalism may
have had its merits. but fighting hurri-
canes was better. The call was too
much for Joshua Wanhope and he went
back again,
Already he has made one trip on the
Tippecanoe 10 France and is now part
way over on another voyage The erst-
while Socialist editor plans to follow the
sea again for at least six months.
Years ago Joshua Wanhope ran away
10 sea. He was but Il years old then,
and for another fourteen years he passed
all his time before tho mast. In those
days he sailed on clippers. white with
canvas, and the old song Away. oh,
Rio" brought up the anchor. They were
the days when a trip to Europe took
weeks. and II was on the whole hard
life But Joshua Wanhope loved II. He
went to all places that a tramp steamer
may go. and many strange stories
were told by him in the years that fol-
lowed. stories of obscure islands in the
China seas, OF small ports in Japan and
the water front mysteries OF India.
This sailor was the son of scholar,
Welshman who wanted his child to be-
come a Presbyterian clergyman. Wan
hopes answer was to run away to sea.
and the years OF wandering followed.
II was while he was stopping at port
in this country that he discovered that
one OF tho elevated lines was being built
He was a rigger on his ship at that time
and the structural iron work appealed to
him So he went to work driving rivets
and aiding in the completion of the
elevated road
Later he went to work assisting in the
construction of the buildings at the expo
si,ion of Chicago in 1898. and there no
learned for the first time what Socialism
was From that time he became an as
siduous propaganda OF the Socialist
viewpoint, writing for the Workers Coli
in Chicago. and later for the Worker, the
paper which preceded the Call Many
times has the Socialist party put him up
for ONCE, but he has never been elected.
