Alaskan Brotherhood
 To Halt Sale of Women

Junaau, Afazaka, Jam 12 The A9azaa Native Brotherhood Is en- tdHavnrfng to stop the practice of sell ing Indian women in marriage and Th@ custom of collecting b1acknai1 by the Indian clans The organfZa- ton has appealed to Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr-, asking for the enactment and enforcement of laws abolishing these two practices The Brotherhood is composed of Indians but includes many influential citizens of the Alas kan territory It asserts that the tribal custom of selling women for marriage Is contrary to the principles of the American government and de- trimental to the rising generation Of Indian-Arnericans in Alaska
 Under the ancient practice of clan b1aGkma1, members of one clan, upon the death of one of their members, have exacted payment from another elan under threat of death to a mem her of the clan assessed To show that this practice still exists, the Brotherhood submitted an affidavit thai in October the Eagle clan col 1ected $271 from the Kock-wan-tons for the death of a member of the Eagle clan years before

DEMPSEY HAS GREAT CHANGE TO BE RICH
 BEFORE HE RETIRES

The frenzied bidding for the Dempsey Carpenter match indicates that Jack Dempsey, who a year or two ago was travelling around the country via the box car and break beam route, soon will be the worlds richest pugilist if his luck holds good and he does not meet with untimely defeat
 The price of heavyweight cham
 ptonship fights has increased so fast of late that there is no telling what they will cost the promoters before Dempsey finally is beaten. The latest offer of s25o, 1000 for the Dempsey-Carpentier affair is almost
 double the record which was set last
 July 4, when Tex Rickard put up g. pure of s127,500 for the Willard Dempsey match. Before Dempsey
 and Carpenter are actually signed for battle the purse may have in creased to s250,Oo0.
 Dempsey is certainly the most fort
 unate fighter the ring has seen. Pre- vious to the Jeffries-J ohnson battle in 1910 purses of s20,000 and s30,oo0 | were considered to have reached the limit. In fact they were regarded too high for the good of the sport. Then | along came Tex Rickard with his i $101, 900 bid for the Jeffries-Johnson match.
 The purse for that battle really | was $121,000, for Rickard gave
 each fighter a bonus of s1O,OO0 fol 1 signing articles. This was kept a
 secret by the prompter, each fighter 1 thinking he was putting something
 over on his opponent
 The next big purse was the s75,oO0 l put up by Rickard for the Willard l Moran bout in the Garden. So far
 Rickard is the only promoter daring l enough to put up as much as $1OO,- 1 900 for a bout This time he has not 1 entered into the bidding as yet and it
 is not known whether he will be a | factor in the situation.
 1 Richards three ventures in the ring sport were all successful inan- 1 cially, but the profits from the Will i lard-Dempsey bout were hardly large
 enough to pay him for his time.

HOPE FOR CHANGE IN NEW JERSEY
 BOXING LAWS

Boxing fans throughout the East are hoping that the New Jersey box ing law is amended that fifteen round bouts will be permitted It is the proper distance to thoroughly guage boxers ability and not too long to make the milling slow or uninterest- ing. Why "a fifteen round is harm full to pubic morals" as one oppo- nent of the amendment recently al- leged, and an eight round bout Is not, is hard to see.
 The chances are roseate for the New Jersey Legislature permitting the hoped for increase in the num- Der of rounds. Information has trickled into political circles on the Jersey side that New York very shortly will pass a bill permitting lither ten or fifteen round contests here. New Jersey promoters will ba left high and dry with their eight round bouts if that occurs. Jersey politicians probably will so amend the present law as to forestall any move made here and permit the Jersey promoters to meet their New York rivals on even terms

POPULATION OF
 STATE NOW SAID
 TO BE 1,50O,5O0

The census of children of the school age-4 to 16 years old-in the state which is now complete except for six towns, shows total of 332,54 ch1l- dren of this age in the state. In the case of those six towns which were not enumerated. but only estimated, the 1918 figures were used as safe estimate. Five of the towns are small ones and may not show any material gain, while the sixth in the list is East Hartford. The gain over the total population of children last year is 6,573. A population of 100000 in the state is indicated, gain of about 40 per cent in ten years.
