FRAME AND HIS
PAPER GET IN
John Frame, the editor of the Com
moner at Valdez, has been getting
Into trouble consistently of late. Hit
■
chlstf specialty has always been mak
ing trouble for other people but as a
now dead philosopher once remarked:
“It Is a long alleyway that has not got
an ash barrel.” Frame at one time
ran and wrecked a paper in Cordova
and is well known In Alaska. We sub
mit the following excerpts from the
Valdez Prospector:
John W. Frame was found guilty by
a Jury In Commissioner Dove's court
of the offense of assault and battery
against I)r. Dalton. The Jury wrestled
all night and after twelve hours of
agony brought In a verdict of guilty
with a recommendation to clemency.
Judge Dove imposed a fine of |00
and costs, the latter amounting to
1172.20. The defendant gave notice of
appeal and it Is understood that the
appeal will be perfected.
Mr. Frame claimed that Dr. Dalton
pointed a kodak at him In the street and
that when he went Into the Valdez
drug store and asked why Dalton had
taken his nlcture talking abusively to
him; that he told Dalton he would not
stand for such language in the street,
and started to back out when Dalton
grabbed him by the coat and the war
then started. Dalton explained that
he and a lady were testing the action
of the camera and pointed it at sev
eral persons. Also that It was too
dark to take a snap shot. The hour
seems to have been shortly after 9
in the evening. Dalton denied that he
uaed any abusive language toward
Frame and asserted that Frame, after
entering the store and starting to
talk civilly threatened to slap him,
following the threat by striking him.
It was then that John Biggs mixed
into the scrap. Biggs stated that his
chief interest was to save his show
caseB from the wreckage of war,
which evoked a smile ail around.
Biggs corroborated Dalton on most
points. Other witnesses testified to
small details and to the finish.
About the same time that Frame
was arrested, his printing plant was
seized on an execution against him.
The marshal took the plant and It la
now stored at the Valdez dock, and is
advertised for sale. The Commoner
has suspended publication without
notice to its subscribers. Several at
. tempts have been made by Senator
Hubbard as attorney for Frame to get
the court to release the attachment,
but have been of no avail. Meantime
much speculation exists as to who
owns the Commoner plant. Frame
swore in his postotfice return that it
waB owned by Charles M. Day. In
some of the proceedings in the pres
ent case Frame has submitted unveri
fied papers claiming an exemption,
which amounts to an assertion of
ownership.
To add to the sum of Mr. Frame’s
troubles the women of Valdez, as
members of the Valdez Civic League
and the Vuldez Study Club have ad
dressed a resolution to the Council
ussing lor r rame h removal u» uij
Clerk. They classed Frame as an un
desirable In a red hot set of resolu
tions.
The Valdez city council at Its last
meeting failed to take any action upon
the request for the removal of Frame
from his position ns city clerk. Mayor
Boyle, to whom had been sent the
registered letter containing the com
plaint and charges, stated that ho had
not received the letter and conse
quently nothing was done.

DIVIDEND
At a recant meeting of the directors
of the Alaska 8teamshlp Co. the regu
ilar quarterly dividend of 1V4 per cent
was declared and In addition thereto
an extra special dividend was ordered,
the two being payable June 30. With
the quarterly dividend of per cent
paid In March this makes a total of 8
per cent paid during the first half of
1015 on capital stock of this company,
amounting to |3,000,000. The an
nouncement of dividend caused much
favorable comment In financial cir
cles, as no better indication could be
given to show the excellent standing
and efficient management of this com
pany, as well as pointing to the thor
oughly good conditions now prevailing
in Alaska. The company’s fleet is j
now fully engaged in the traffic of the
north, and conditions in that territory
point to a continuance of unusual traf
fic offerings. Many factors contribute
to Alaska’s increased traffic. Chief of
the reasons Is the steady and heavy
southbound tonnage in copper ore, the
question of a southbound tonnage
Being or first importance to any
steamship operating. The second in
Importance is the remarkable indus
trial activity in that section of which
Juneau Is the center. Third comes
the added Ashing plants in that region
of which Ketchikan Is the center, and, •
fourth, the activity of the U. S. gov
ernment In constructing railroads has
been followed by a heavy movement
of freight and passengers to Anchor
age and Seward.—Hallway & Marine
News.

BERLIN, July 8.—The war has
given a sudden and unprecedented im
petus to the "marriage brokerage"
game and advertisements for hus
bands—war invalids In many cases—
were never so plentiful as at present.
Many women exhibit an Irrepressible
desire to get married right away and
appear to be quite unconcerned about
the kind of a husband they got.
Individual women who want to get
married at any cost are not the only
ones however, who have taken advan
tage of the unusual situation. The
more or less shady matrimonial
agencies are making hay while the
Bun shines, and apparently stop at
nothing In order to turn a question
able pfennig.
Thus many have, In some manner,
secured the names and addresses of
women whose husbands have been
killed at the front, and intrude upon
their grief with brazen offers of sec
ond husbands. The men for the most
part are mere adventurers, but In a
few cases are invalided soldiers,
either anxious for a home or beguiled
into letting their names be used.

made In offices, works and country
