Nom Conference Tilt
In the second fracas, the Cloth
iers shot another easy victory for
themselves in a non-conference tilt
against the High Schoolers who
were pinch-hitting for the Tally
team again last night.
Eddy Lawson started Graves off
with the first basket of the even
ing and was quickly backed up by
Bob McPhee and Bill Robertson.
The trio made the first ten points
and were the leaders throughout
the game. At the half they had
brought the score up to 10 points
aaginst for the School team.
For the high schoolers three play
ers did most of the scoring: Harold
Hanson, Krugness, and Henry
Behrends. Coach Hautala gave most
of his lads a chance to play, max
ing it difficult for any one player
to corral many baskets and result
ing in the final score of SO to Is
in favor of the Graves.
AS this was considered a prac-
tice game for the high school, Ed.
Atkinson, one of the mainstays
playing center, was allowed in the
game last night. Ed is now over
81, making him ineligible for inter
scholastic contests.

SUPPOSED SLIDE.
VICTIM IS ALIVE
Mrs. James Roma, Thought
to Have Been Buried
in Debris, Escaped

Mrs. James Roma, wife of Jim
Roma, an employee of the Alaska
Juneau mill, thought to have been
victim of the slide, came to The
Empire today and announced that
she still was very much alive, al
though her escape from death was
miraculous.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roma lived in the
Martin Apartments and all day
Sunday had been apprehensive
about the safety of their home.
The continued rain had increased
he stream down the mountainside
until they expected slide any mo-
ment. Mrs. Rona's fears had been
increased by a dream that she had
the night before in which a pigeon
had come to her and warned her
Of danger. In her dream the pig
con said that he had come from
heaven and she asked him, when
ne returned, to pray for her, she
said
While her husband was getting
ready to go to work, Mrs. Roma was
preparing to spend the night with
a relative, fearing the imminence
of a slide.
AS the slide approached the Mar
lin Apartments shook as in Sc
we're wind storm, but just escaped
the avalanche. Mrs. Roma heard
5omeone yell at her to get out of the
way, the slide was coming. In her
excitement she ran toward the slide,
instead of away from it. Seen run
ming into the avalanche, it was be-
ieved that she was buried by it.
Tumbling ROCKS hit her She was
bruised as she stumbled beneath
the earth and rocks at the edge of
The slide.
Before it was known that she was
safe, her brother. Jack P Brown,
of Hoonah, had come to aid in the
search for her. another brother,
Candle Williams, i'll in the Govern
ment Hospital, suffered shock be-
cause of the supposed loss of his
sister. Henry Moy, her brother-in-
law, captain of the Celtic and prom
inent Hoonah resident, searched
for her yesterday.
The family has moved away from
the hillside and is living at 325 Will
loughby Avenue.
And Mrs. Roma, who came so
close to death, feels that she has
a second life to live.

At several places questions were
raised and rumors repeated to the
committee regarding the method OF
handling the work. 1t was reported
at one place that excess pay was
being given to truck drivers. At
another place it was reported that
the Alaska Juneau Company had
offered to clear away the entire
mass of wreckage and debris. Still
again it was reported that the COM
pany had offered to furnish 200
men and that the request had been
refused by the Mayor

THE committee members fully
realized the absolute absurditv of
those rumors, all of which are false.

between the members of the COM

On and on went the battle. Din

desperate efforts moved with quick

waiting in the street below. Frank

past 7 o'clock when Ernie Mattielil,
with the aid of DID,. William p Blan-
ton, E. L. Gruber and Dave Femmer,
reached in with eager hands and
drew that tiny body to the surface
Passionately he held the child to
his bosom as the doctor adminis-

little girl in blanket. On the
stretcher they laid her carefully,

away to the hospital rolled the We

toiled on in search OF others. The
whole town waited in suspense for

Depressed sadness continued to
spread its shroud over the city.
Body Mangled
So badly torn and mutilated was
the body of Battello when found
that it required the examination by
close friends and a Moose lodge card

been killed instantly.

WORK MOVING

CLEAR DEBRIS
Engineers Comment on Ef-
fiency with Which Res
cue Is Progressing

Comment on the work being done
in the present disaster was being
heard on all sides today as the
crews continued their efforts under
the direction of experienced men
to clear away the debris. Lower
Franklin Street had been partially
. opened by. this morning but it was
expected it would be days before
the work would be completed.
Mayor I. Goldstein, who is di-
Irectly responsible for the work as
head of the city, paid warm COM
pliment today to the men from the
Alaska Juneau who had jumped in
to help at every opportunity in the
crisis, stressing especially the gal
liant efforts put forth yesterday to
rescue little Lorraine Vanali
Every one is cooperating to the
/ limit and we are doing the best
1--we can" he said this morning. He
estimated it would be several days
before all the toll of dead was
konwn.
L. H. Metzgar, General Superin-
tendent of the Ala S k a Juneau
whose men and equipment joined
forces with the volunteer forces
and other volunteers from the
start, met with the City Emergency
Committee this noon
Metzgar Makes Statement
Mr.. Metzgar told the COM
n1ittee that Mayor Goldstein
mad been in touch with him
and The Alaska Juneau organi-
cation at all times; that all
the men were being employed
at the work who could be eff
ficiently handled; that the work
! was being done as efficiently
as possible under the circum-
stances; that neither he nor
any of the company engineers
nor foremen would have done
and differently. He said that he
had seen the work from time
to time and that Mayor Gold
stein was doing good work.
Other engineers in Juneau ex-
pressed the same opinion, the
committee stated today, following
the meeting.
| Because of the nature of the
slide and its extent, the work of
clearing it away is necessarily slow,
and it will be expensive, not with
standing the splendid work which
j has been done by volunteers, the
committee officially announced.
Expresses Appreciation
Mayor Goldstein expressed his
appreciation on behalf of the City
for the splendid cooperation he
has received from the Alaska Ju-
neau company, the branches of the
Feedral Government, and the large
number of volunteer workers of Ju-
neau, Douglas and Thane, including
employees of the mining company.

Faulkner, Chairman of the COM
/ mittee, will report briefly over
lstation KINY.

Mayor to raise funds to pay the ex-
penses in connection with the clear

DOUGLAS TAKES
CONCRETERS IN
CASABA BATTLE

After overcoming an early Con-
creter lead, the Douglas Eagles
knotted the count at 16-all, at the
end of the first quarter, held
Krause to two points during the
second quarter while piling up a
large lead for themselves, and beat
off determined Krause effort to
maintain their margin the rest
of the way and hang up another
league win for the home island in
the City League hoop joust at the
High School gym last evening. The
final score was Douglas Az Krause
81.
Ralph Bardi, who had his eye
last night, was the only Concreter
to ring the hoop during the entire
second quarter, while the Eagles
added II markers to their total
to finish the first half on the long
end of a % to 18 score. 1t was
basket for basket during the sec
ond half, but the Islanders kept
up just enough steam to hold their
ten-point edge through the full two
quarters.
Bardi, with plenty of help by
Sammy Nelson, was the whole of
the losers attack and most of the
defense, Dick Gerewell aiding the
stellar pair in the checking de-
partment. Bardis 16 points was
high for the night, but was closely
followed by Nelson, and Claude
Erskine, who got Is apiece. Gordon
Mills and Rex Rox combined with
Erskine to form the handspring of
the Island offensive.
Nice defensive work by the whole
Douglas team was mainly respons-
ible for their win. The Concreter
attack was so bottled up that there
was rarely a man loose to receive
a pass. No speed on the break,
spoiled plenty of Krause oppor-
tunities.
