BOOTH SAYS CUNARD
ISN'T IN MARINE DEAL
TILED Chairman of Company
Here Spikes Report.

No connection exists between the
CuDsrd Steamship Line and the Brit
ish syndicate which Is endeavoring to
purchase the ships and assets of the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pany's British subsidiaries. was the
statement made yesterday by Sir AL
fred Booth. chairman of the Cunard
company. one mystery of the Marine
deal has been the identity of the Brit
ish syndicate members and Wall Street
has believed generallv that the back
bone OF the combination was the Cum
ard interests.
Sir Alfred's denial was made just
after he had addressed a meeting Of
the Chamber of Commerce of the State
OF New York.
In his address he spoke at length re-
garding the crisis which Great Britain
faced last February and March during
the extensive labor troubles. He was
head OF the commission appointed to
solve the difficulty. and he outlined
some points OF the controversy which
gave him and his associates much
trouble and worry before the final settle
ment was agreed upon.
The outstanding fact to-day" he
said. "is that America. with her mer-
camille marine has stepped right into the
place which Germany occupied before
the war. AS British shipowner-quite
apart from the ties OF blood and bust
ness which unite me to this country--I
welcome the change"

PROF. GARNER BRINGS
CANNEDMONKEYTALK
Has Photograph Records of
Sinidn Conversation.

Prof. Richard Lynch Garner, who Is
generally recognized as knowing more
about money shines and the like than
all the other professors of simian lore
rolled Into one, got back to New York
yesterday
Just to prove that he wasn't Joking a
few years ago when he announced to a
credulous world that the monkeys had a
language all their own and that he
learned and could understand 1T when
the monkeys spoke. Frof. Garner this
time announced that the doubling no
longer have ground for their doubts. For
he said he had brought back with him
from the French Congo, where he has
been for two years and n half a series
OF monograph records containing exact
reproductions of the best monkey talk
IN the very incest Congo monkey families
and will play them for any who ven
lures 30 much as thought that one
monkey doesn't know what tho other
monkey wants when the first monkey
says so.
Prof Garner came in aoard the French
liner Chicago. Although he is rs, he
said. he expects to keep on studying
the monkeys until he has acquired their
entire alphabet. Along with the monkey
records he brought 5000 boxed speci-
mems Of Congo animals and other things
which, he says, will be OF extreme in
terest TO American naturalists. One is
an animal six feet high and Weighing
about 200 pounds. He says 1t Is a
sort OF cross between chimpanzes and
gorilla, and Is the nearest approach to
man he has seen in all his trips. into
the 5ansles.
Besides Prof. Garner and his Jungle
collections the Chicago brought 1850
casual soldiers under command Of Col
Frank Albright. There also were
aboard about fifty war brides from
France.

BUTTER, EGGS, BEEF !
FALL AS HEAT RISES
But Torrid Weather Causes
Fears Of Ice Famine This
Summer.

Housewives had good reason yesterday
for the little prayers OF Thanksgiving
they were uttering even in spite Of the
torrid heat waves that were making
them wonder what was going to hap
pen to the price of ice II the hot spell
kept up For the price OF eggs had
tumbled all the way from 81 to 4S cents
a dozen, while butter. In many a New
York home for q long time listed as
a luxury Of luxuries. had followed suit
with a drop of AZ cents a pound In a
fortnight And Just to keep up the
average. beef dropped 4 cents a pound
in the same period. with pretty clear
indications that 1t is gong even further
down the ladder.
The cause Of all this unexpected good
fortune to the housewives. according to
men who know the food business and its
usually mysterious price fluctuations,
was that the hot spell came along and
caught the storage men with their biz
warehouses full TO overlooking with eggs
and butter and such things. The stored
supplies Just had to be turned loose and
the result was perhaps the biggest drop
In the price of foodstuffs since the up
ward movement of prices set IN with the
start Of the war. The same dealers,
however, said the present downward
flight does ont necessarily mean a gem
eral price lowering on foodstuffs. They
expect figures to fiuctuate for several
months. with the general trend a mys-
terry to them at present
Dealers said that along with the other
foodstuffs berry, fruit and stock prices
are showing declines and that indica-
lions now are that canned fruits will
be lower this fall than In two years.
They added that vegetable and fruit
prices ought to drop steadily from now
on. strawberries having already gone
down 10 cents a quart.
The ice situation was different, how
ever. Forseeing the worst kind Of
shortage unless something in dons
quickly s. NJ. Schatzkin. president OF the
National Ice and Coal Company, said
there must be immediate economy, and
suggested the appointment OF a munci-
pal committee to regulate consumption
Of ice.
THE only possible help I can see." he
said, must come from the weather, un-
less an efficient committee Is appointed
The existing committees and others who
are interested in bringing the citys sup
ply up to normal and in watching against
prohteering, can do nothing. No ono
wants TO prohteer and nothing OF the
kind exists.
THE committee should help the deal
ers in cutting down the city's use of ice.
For instance, they could put hospitals
and privates houses on a priority list
giving them their supplies before ice
cream manufacturers and saloons. II we
could curtail a little in this way I am
sure that famine could be averted.
Let the man who takes fifty pounds a
day cut his order to forty pounds. At
this season $4,000 tons are usually here.
doubt II there are 5000 tons to-day"

his home September O. 1918. The day
