Miss Mildred lIanan, heiress to the millions of the late Alfred c. Hanan, shoe manufacturer, was shot and fatally wounded by Mrs. Grace Lawes in Brooklyn, N. Y. Mrs. Lawes committed suicide immed- lately after the shooting. The affair has stirred New York society, as both Miss Hanna and Mrs Lawes were well known. The shooting and suicide occurred in front of the home of Miss Dorothy Gottschalk. Miss Hanna, with John s. Borland, New York importer, had driven Miss Gott- schalk to her home after a dinner party at the Hanan home. Mrs Lawes, who was a relative of Miss Hanan by marriage, waited for the party to leave Miss Gottschalk's home and opened fire on Miss Hanan.

Tourist Prospects for
 Alaska Under Discussion

SEATTLE, Oct. II.-Summarizing west coast transportation conditions at a luncheon rendered Richard Spill lane, of the Philadelphia Public Ledger. E. G. McMicken, passenger traffic manager of the Admiral Line. said that while vacation travel dur ing the summer season had shown no diminution, there had been a per certible decrease in the volume of pleasure travel There is distinc- tion between the two, said Mir. Nc Micken, adding:
 The annual vacation is fixture among large numbers of people, no matter what conditions may be. But on the other hand there is a class of travel which is entirely dependent upon the state of business and the degree of its prosperity. When times are good men going on busi- ness trips take their wives, and fre- quently their families along, but when times are not so good the wives and the families stay at home The families have largely remained at home this year, except during va cation time
 Alaska and prospects for its toGr- ist business next year also were briefly discussed. Prospects are bright, according to expert observers, but it was remarked that they would be still more brilliant if Alaska had one or more hotels of the best resort type.
