J. J. SIMPSON SUCCUMBS HERE
 THIS MORNING
Oldtimer Dies of Injuries Sustained Tn Fall
 Two Days Ago

John Joseph Simpson, old-time Alaskan, died this morning at 10 O. clock at St, Ann's Hospital from spinal injuries sustained when he fell frcm the roof of his home near the Douglas end of the Douglas Bridge two days ago.
 MT. Simpson, who was about 63 years old, was born in England, coming to Alaska in the early days. At one time he owned a grocery store in Juneau near the City Dock. Later he moved to Douglas and ac- quired large proptrty holdings there.
 MT Simpsons largest purchase of property was the old St. Anns Hos pital site in Douglas. He also ac- quired the Jensen building property on the Douglas waterfront. The building on this latter property be- came much travelled after being purchased by the Douglas man. First it was torn down and re-erected on the old hospital site. Then, MT. Simpson removed it to a site just north of the present Douglas bridge Later, hearing that the bridge might be erected near Sal mon Creek, MT Simpson again wrecked the building and had it re- constructed on Douglas Island di- rectly oESosite Salmon Crek.
 A homestead was taken up by MT. Simpson near the bridge and for several years he has been offering free plots of land to anyone who would build upon his acreage
 The Douglas man received a great deal of acclaim for his typi- cal Alaskan spirit when about six months ago while walking in Ju- neau he found a pocketbook con- taining $50 and immediately came to. the offices of The Empire to in- sert an lad" to notify the owner of his finding.
 Several years ago, MT. Simpson became communicant of the Nor mon Church and sold to them prop erty for a church on Douglas Island for a very nominal sum.
 ! Funeral services on Friday after noon at two o'clock in the c. w. Carter Mortuary Chapel will be under the auspices of William H. Umpley and Wendell B. Fernely, missionaries of the Church of the Latter Day Saints.
 The deceased is survived by a daughter, Doris, in Seattle.

 In addition to complaints from the bachelor members about the per- sonal habits of their roommates. such as leaving window open at night or not leaving it open, MT. Carter related about one pioneers reaction to the ramps that lead from one floor to another. In de- signing the building these easy grade ramps were put in so that ageing pioneers would not have to climb stars or run the hazard of tripping on them coming down. When asked how he liked the home, one veteran of many a gold creek said to MT. Carter: "Oh, it's a pretty good place alright except for these - beaver slides"

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-Joe Louis is a T to favorite to whip Jack Sharkey, ageing Boston Tavern keeper, in a scheduled ten rounder in the Yankee Stadium tonight.
 The Brown Bomber will enjoy a two and one half pound weight edge over Jack. Louis scales 1902 pounds and Sharkey 1874 pounds.
 Experts Shy
 Experts are wondering if Louis will be punch shy after being kay oed by Max Schmelling. but he is no shyer than the experts who made Louis 10 to favorite over Schmelling.
 Sharkey is staggering confident and says he thinks Louis is bum and points out that he never lost to a negro fiG'lter
 Jack Trains
 Sharkey has trained he'd at Or angeburg, New York, for his come back against the deflated but still dangerous Brown Bomber.
 Louis Also Trains
 Louis, forsaking the Lakewood New Jersey training site he occu- pied before his first loss in the professional heavyweight ranks returned to Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, where he trained in the strictest privacy and where he pre- pared himself for other bouts.
 Priuacy Order
 The privacy order was issued by Louis managers after they saw their prize belted all over the ring by Sehmeling in a reversal that still has no reasonable explanation except that Joe led with his jaw and carried his left mitt too low for effective lending purposes be- fore a long, stinging right wielded by Schmeling.
 Circusy Atmosphere
 At Lakewood, Joe Louis was un- billed as "our next heavy weight champion" and surrounded by a circusy atmosphere In his workouts, he was tremendously over confident, lazy and headstrong about what has was required to do. He now faced the task of building a defense and learning how to meet changing conditions in the ring, when his masterful set routine is upset by unorthodox strategy.
 Fistic Worrier
 In the light of the Schmeling comeback, the ranks of those who might have scoffed at Sharkey's chances are mighty thin. Louis left a problem for the fistic wor- riers when he fell before Schmel- ing-and that is what Mike Ja- cobs is banking on to fill the Yan- kee Stadium on a price scale rang ing down from a top of $1l50.
