FREIGHT RATES
 TO ALASKA MAY ] BE CUT SOME
Alaska Steamship Company Freight-Passenger Agent
 Makes Announcement.

A reduction in Alaska freight rates, in general, may be made, ac- cording to John H. Bunch, freight and passenger agent of the Alaska Steamship Company, who passed through Juneau this morning on the steamer Alameda for his headquart- CTS at Seattle.
 There will be no reduction in the passenger rates, said Mir Bunch, as we consider the present rates are lew in comparison to steamship pas senger rates in the States and which we proved recently by publishing comparison table.
 MT. Bunch is on his way to Seat tie after a four weeks trip in Alaska during which he went over the trail from Chitina to Fairbanks and then back to the coast via the Alaska Railroad. General Manager Knick erbocker, who accompanied MT. Bunch on the trip is at present in Cordova and will come to Juneau on the return trip of the Northwest- ern. Knickerbocker will remain here perhaps for several days, then go to Skagway on the Jefferson re- turning to his headquarters at Seat tie on that steamer.
 Charter Extra Steamers.
 The freight business to and from Alaska has been exceptionally good so far this season" said MT. Bunch.
  up until April our company was in the pink. but freight began pick ing up and southbound cargoes are new go heavy that we have been forced to charter three extra car riers to handle the offerings. For instance, on the present trip of the Alameda, she is loaded with fish.

Rebukes Husband, Shoots
Self With His Revolver
Woman FIees After Finding
Man at Hotel, Turns as Pur-
suit Nears and Fires

Mrs. Dagmar Becker, thirty-eight
years old, of 61 Hubbard Street, Ulmer
Park, Brooklyn, shot herself with q re-
volver snatched from the pocket of her
husband, William Ulmer, tugboat
captain, after she found him yesterday
at hotel known as The Glass House,
Bay Forty-fifth Street and Harway
Avenue, Coney Island.
Mrs. Becker entered q restaurant at
taehed to the hotel and made her way
to table at which Becker was seated
with two other men and two women.
Mrs. Becker is said to have charged
her husband with being the companion
Of one OF the women. She seized a
revolver from a pocket of Becker's coat
and ran from the place.
Two patrolmen on duty in Harway
Avenue. which was crowded with auto
mobiles at the moment, pursued Mrs.
Becker as she threaded her way, re-
volver in hand, through the motor traf-
nc. The woman was struck by two au-
tomobiles but did not fall. Close on
the heels of the patrolmen were Becker
and the members of the party.

Didn't Know They Had Wed
Couple Thought Ceremony Was
Merely Retrothal

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 6.-Thomas
Gerard and Rosina Petta, of this city,
discovered week ago they had been
married six months while believing
themselves only bethrothed Mayor
Frederick W. Donnelly performed the
ceremony at City Hall Both Gerard
and Miss Petta say they thought it was
betrothal ceremony.
When the fact that they were legally
married was disclosed Gerard and Miss
Petta, with the parents of both, visited
Chancellor Walker, asking that the
wedding be annulled. The parents of
Miss Petta said She had never lived
with Gerard and would not now live
with him because he refused TO be
married in Roman Catholic church.
Chancellor Walker signed a prelim-
mary decree of annullment Saturday,
which will be made permanent if on
investigation the facts are found as

ments on account of clearing house
debts and the measures which France
already has ordered taken in this con-
nection.
Little hope seems to be entertained
here that the conference will be sue
cessful one. although it is fully recog-
nized that In view of the swift fall in
the value of the mark, which threatens
to bring Germany In the wake of Aus
tria and Russia ina ancially, a situation
has been reached in which halfway
measures no longer will be of avail
Great Britain will be represented at
George, Austen Chamberlain, Lord
Privy Seal; Earl Curzon, who has re-
covered from the illness which necessi-
tated the Earl of Balfour porariiy
replacing him at the Foreign Office !;
Sir Robert S. Horne, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and Sir I.aming Worthing-
tonEvans, Secretary for War.
The principal visiting delegates will
be Premier Poincare and NJ. de Las
teyrie, France; Signor Schanzer, the
Italian Foreign Minister, and Signor
Paratore, NJ. Jaspar and NJ. Theunis,
Belgium, all of whom arrived tonight.
Reticence Advisable
Both NJ. Theunis and M. Jaspar, in
talking with the newspaper men to-
night, said the greatest care and reti
cence was advisable, owing to the deli
cate nature of the conference. They
added that the present situation was
too confused to permit responsible
statesmen to make detailed statements.
1t was intimated by the Belgian del
egates, however, that Belgium would
have a deal to say in the conference
because, II moratorium were granted
to Germany, Belgium would be the
first to suffer, as all German cash nav
nients for the present year are intend
cd for Belgium.
"A moratorium" said NJ. Jaspar, ais
rot the solution. Yesterday the Bel
glan Parliament voted fresh heavy tax
alton, which will be further increased
in October. This proves the urgency
Of the situation. We are making every
possible sacrifice, but immediate rep
aratlon Is necessary, not for pleasure,
but because there is something to re-
pair"
Belgium Needs Payments
The Belgian delegates left the i'm
preston that it was their view that
Belgium cannot exist without reoara-
tion payments.
None of the delegates proved COM
municative. All emphasized the diff
Guilty that faced them and the advisa-
blhty for reserve. Signor Schanzer
admitted that Italy had her own ideas
| as to the situation, but that he had
brought no definite plan. Italy's de-
sire, first of all, he said, was to hear
TIE programs of Great Britain and
France. The Italian statesman admit
ted that interAilied Indebtedness must
be subject to discussion owing to the
Intimate connections of thai question
with reparations.

Apparel

Business in the women's wholesale
apparel field has been hesitant since
fall merchandise was first offered by
the manufacturers and wholesalers
here. This is explained partly by the
tendency of retailers to hold off buying
until the merchandise fair. Prices,
howsYer, appear to have been firmly
maintained SO far. Some recent style
changes also have been noticed, which
have had the effect of making the early
styles less desirable. 1t is felt that
the change to longer skirts and draped
models in both cloaks and dresses will
stimulate consumer buying when the
retail season gets under way.
In the mems field some surplus of
summer goods has appeared in the
market but is not large enough to con-
stitute q menace, in the opinion of
leading manufacturers. On fall goods
retailers are still placing good orders,
especially for overcoats, and the out
look for the remainder Of the season
is good.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-07

The week saw but little change in
the general situation. The govern
ment's cotton crop condition report
caused furry in the price of the
staple and affected primary goods to
some extent. It's chief effect, however,
was to unsettle the goods market and
cause further hesitation. Some prog
ress was reported in the silk and
wooden fields.
In general merchandise lines there
has been some hesitation on the part
of the retailers in buying fall goods.
The labor troubles have been partly
responsible for this, and in many quar-
tiers of the local Wholesale markets it
is believed that the First National
Merchandise Fair, which opens to-day,
has been q factor in causing retailers
to go slow in ordering seasonable
goods until they have seen what the
market has to offer in the collective
exhibition.
Retail trade during the week was
characterized by further price cutting
on summer goods, the result of back
ward consumer buying. This, it is be-
lieved, was largely due to the unsea-
sonable weather that has prevailed in
many portions of the countsy.

Wealthy Southerner, Missing.
Is Located in New York

Frederick Bell, wealthy resident OF
Anniston. Ala, for whom the police Of
Glen Ridge, N. j., and adjacent towns
had been searching since Friday, was
found in New York City yesterday by
his father, George Bell, who notified
police officials of Glen Ridge by tele-

his son.
1t was learned later that young Bell
had experienced difficulty in locating
the New York home of his brother,
William T. Bell. who lives at 40 Sher-
man Avenue, and that his failure to
communicate caused alarm. Relatives
knowing that the young man had not
previously visited New York City
feared some harm might have bsfallen
him.
