SOPHIA VICTIMS’ BODIES
ARE HARD TO IDENTIFY
Advices received locally from Ju
neau indicate that bodies of the un
fortunate victims of ihe Sophia
disaster, are being recovered from
the wreck by divers, but owing tc
their long immersion and the action
of the water, identification >f them
is difficult.
Alexander Gooch, father cf Mrs.
George Markus, who perished when
the vessel sank, stopped off at
Juneau on his way in to Fairbanks
to aid in the work of identification.
He intends to remain near the
scene of the wreck until the bodies
of Mrs. Markus and her little daugh
ter have been recovered.
In a telegram to George Markus,
Mr. Gooch says that the body of
a woman has been found and that
it might be that of Mr.-. Markus
The only means of identification
is one of the shoes on the body,
which corresponds with the size
and style of shoe worn by Mrs.
Markus, but absolute identification
is almost impossible.
A grave has been selected and all
arrangements have been made for
the funeral of Mrs. Markus and
her baby at Seattle, and the bodies,
as soon as they have been found
and identified, will be shipped for
burial.

HOTEL MEN PREPARING j
FOR NEW CONDITIONS !
NEW YORK.—Hotel men of the
North Atlantic states, excepting
groups with headquarters in the
metropolis who profess to see noth
ing but ruin ahead if prohibition
is enforced, expect to be doing
business at the old stand in the
days impending when the mahogany
bar and the concoctions more or
less mysteriously mixed by the
i white-aproned dignitary behind it
(become matters of history.
Despite predictions of the city
and state bonifaces’ associations of
New York that large numbers of
hostelries will be forced out of
business by the edvent of the “dry”
regime, the majority of persons
well informed regarding hotel af
fairs hold to the opinion that no
such situation will develop. All
along the coast and westward to
the Appalachians, they declare, pro
prietors of city, town and country
hotels, both of the commercial and
tourist types, are mapping out
means of obtaining from other
, sources revenues equivalent to those
1 derived from the sale of intoxicants.
Popularized dining-rooms, tea and
dance parlors, soft drink grills and
even the plebian soda fountain are
innovations planned and ,in some
cases, already in operation with suc
cess surprisingly gratifying to their
j owners.
And a revival of automobile
| touring, which had less than half
| the normal value last sumer. when
America was at the height of her
'war effort, is expected to prove
• a potent outside factor in tiding
the majority of hotels over the
transition period slated to begin
iwith enforcement of war-time pro
hibition July 1.
Significant as straws tnat pom:
! the way of the wind in the “bone
jdry’ crisis are editorials in several
i of the leading periodicals devoted
j to the hotel business, and reports
of advertising agencies whose trade
is drawn largely from “automobile”
i taverns. The hotel editors, while
hoping for the best—and “the best”
admittedly from their point of view
would be a failure of the govern
ment to enforce the emergency pro
hibition measure, together with a
court of popular decision nullifying
the national prohibition amendment
—advise their readers to look the
j situation squarely in the face and
I prepare for the operation of bar
; less resorts.
All sorts of substitutes for rev
| enues obtained from the liquor
[trade are suggested and the “live"
; proprietor is urged to quit worry -
I ing and get to work.
The advertising men, summarizing
i their canvasses, declare that “space"
j contracted by the hotel interests
far exceeds that of last year, in
fact sets a new record. The tourist
houses in particular, they state,
have plunged heavily into publicity,
; frankly anticipating a bumper
season of automobile traffic and
j planning, through increased patron
age and expansion in many cases
| of meal serving activities, to re
' coup the losses which will follow
the banishment of Old John Barley
corn.
From “automobile rows” of hun
dreds of Eastern cities the word
ihas gone out that people stand
! ready to buy almost anything on
'four wheels. “The war is over,”
- is the popular cry. and enforced
j stay-at-homes of recent open seasons
are planning to see America. Tour
ist hotel men. it is declared, have
seen their salvation in the travel
boom already apparent in the stead
ily increasing volume of spring
traffic, and improvements ranging
II all the way from enlarged bedroom
and dining-room facilities to in
[ ■ stallation of attractive lunch rooms
and cafeterias have been the re
| suit in many establishments that
hitherto have gone along in a con
i servative, old-fashioned way, de
i pending on the bar for the bulk
i of their receipts,
i While hotel men in many sections
have referred vaguely to “assur
ances” that war-time prohibition
would not be made effective and
have proceeded with the acquisition
of liquor stocks as though no “dry”
period loomed above the mid-sum
mer horizon, bonifaces in the New
York district, in public statements,
have bitterly assailed the Prohibi
tionists.
Thomas D. Green and John Mc
Bowman, president and vice-presi
dent, respectively, of the N°w York
City Hotel Association, described
the attitude of the anti-liquor ad
vocates as “not caring what hap
pens, so long as it doesn’t happen
' to them.” At a time when business
' is “just beginning to flow into
legitimate channels,” Mr. McBowman
declared, the hotel business is ‘'con
fronted by the spectacle of ruin”
if prohibition is enfoced, but he
asserted he did not anticipate suc
cess in what - he characterized as
"this latest attempt of religious
and political fanatics” to take away
“more individual rights.” However,
he predicted many hotels of New
York city and the surrounding ter
ritory would be closed July 1, or
soon afterward, if the war-time
“dry” law is put into force.
George A. Farnham, president of
the New York State Hotel Associa
tion, “refused to believe” that either
the emergency or constitutional pro
hibition acts would become oper
ative.
New England hotels, on the other
hand, are reported to be counting
on the automobile travel revival to
offset the losses under a no-liquor
status, while in Pennsylvania serv
ing of iced beverages to tourists
and devotees of the dancing craze
is expected to provide substantial
revenue. Philadelphia for nearly
a year has permitted no vending
of liquors in dancing parlors, and
back in the mountains, where bars
have been few and far between
in recent years, the prohibition law
will have little effect on the con
duct of hotels.
Along the coast, from Atlantic
City south, the hotel men are work
ing out substitutes for the bar and
the grill room. “We will give them
dancing, morning, afternoon and
evening,” said the proprietor of a
great seaside caravansary, adding
his expectation, which seemed to be
typical of other bonifaces in resort
cities, of heavy patronage and good
returns from teas, ices and other
light beverages to be dispensed in
the terpsichorean halls.
Among hotel men and observers
of the business generally there is
agreement that consumption of in
toxicants has been restricted by the
high prices resulting from curtailed
manufacture and increased taxa
tion growing out of the war. If
the necessity arises, they admit, the
task of leading to the tea rooms
and soda fountains that portion
of the public which still clings to
drinks with a “kick” in them will
be a simple one, compared to such
an undertaking without the invol
utary, yet no less liberal education
(in temperance and abstinence im
posed by the world conflict.
