N. T0RETICH FOUND DEAD
 NEAR (HENA
Fairbanks News -Miner)

Mike Toretich known as Mike the Fisherman" was found dead Tuesday afternoon January 3D on the trail on the bank of the Panama River in front of his cabin below the old town of Cinema about 12 miles from Fairbanks. Death is believed to have resulted from heart disease and had occurred several days ago as nearby was the body of dog that had been chained to its house and that had succumbed to starvation. Three other dogs chained to their separate houses were thin and list less from lack of food.
 Remains Found by Native
 The remains of MT. Toretich were found by Sam Charlie, a native and an old-time resident of Cinema The native come to Fairbanks to report his discovery to the marshal's office.
 United States Commissioner Will jam N. Growden and United States Marshal Pat O'Connor left Fair banks this afternoon by airplane for the scene of death to investigate it.
 Suffered from Heart Disease
 MT. Toretich suffered from heart disease about five years" Sam Char lie declared. The last time I saw him alive vas last Thursday, though a native resident of Cinema told me he had seen light in MT Toretich's house at midnight Sunday night. I think MT. Toretich died prior to Sunday. For light in his house at night he used kerosene lamp. A lamp will burn quite a while before going out of itself There was no light in the cabin Tuesday.
 Body Lying on Left Side
 T think MT Toretich fell dead of heart disease. His body was lying on its left side. There was no indication it had moved after he fell.
 Near the cabin on a bench were some fish that had been cleaned and made ready for dog feed. I gave the fish to the three surviving dogs
 Toretich was 69 years old. having been born in Dalmatia Province, Jugoslavia February IT, 1871. He became naturalized citizen in &c., atlte in 1892. He had lived near Cinema since the early days of the community. He engaged in fishing.
 Sold Fish Here
 During months of the year when the Panama and Cinema are navig- able he would bring fish to Fair banks to sell using a small boat equipped with a motor.
 He was a member of Fairbanks Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska. He was not married, and nothing is known here of any surviving rela- tives.

.ELkS TO MEET MINERS; HAIDA
 N. HENNING'S
DoubIeheader on Sehed- uIe for High School Gym
 Tomorrow Evening

Elks play the Alaska Juneau to- morrow night in the High School gym, to be followed by contest be- tween the Jennings Five, sitting undefeated in first place, against the Haida quintet.
 Worries is back on the job with the Miners since last game, and should be whipping around into better shape His return to the Miner ranks should help good deal, for Worries is rangy, and lacks only prac- tice this season.
 The Haida boys haven't lost a great deal of practice since they went on their Sitka trip the other day, but on the other hand they have played two ball games, and on one occasion took their shots at the hoop in uncertain oil light.
 If custodian Pete Carlson has all the lights on tomorrow night, the Haida squad should find the pleas ant change enough to sharpen their firing eyes.
 But however they shoot, they are going to have a tough row to hoe with the Henning's squad, undefeat- ed this half, heading for battle with the Bremen next Thursday.

PENSIONS LAW AMENDMENT E
 pR0p0SED HERE
Alaska Not Receiving Any Dependent Children
 Aid from US.

According to the third annual re- port of the Social Security Board as submitted to Congress, Alaska is one of eight States and Territories not participating in the dependent children feature of the Social Se- curity act. Forty-four States and the Territory of Hawaii have so amended their dependent children laws that they now are receiving Federal funds to help finance the care of dependent children.
 Hugh J. Wade, Territorial Di- rector of the Social Security Board in Alaska, said today that it will be necessary to amend the present Alaska Mothers Pension law and broaden it's coverage before Alaska can receive Federal funds to assist in caring for Alaskas dependent children.
 sIf these amendments are made by the present Legislature, the Federal GOVclliAiicIlt, uilOcI Iiic PiCoCiit Do cial Security act, could grant the Territory of Alaska funds estimated at approximately $20,00o for the next biennium-assuming that the Leg islature appropriates the sam C amount of money at this session as they did for the last biennium. MT Wade also points out that, if the present Congress follows the recom- menadtions made by the Social Se- curity Board, the Territory would benefit to a much greater extent inasmuch as the Board has suggest ed to Congress that they consider Title " of the act so

11-YEAR-0LD AUTHOR HAS
 FINALLY WON
Fame Comes al Last to youngster, Three Years
 After Writing Novel
By ROBERT N. sTURDEvANT

By ROBERT N. STURDEvANT
 MEMPHIS, Tenn.--When eight year-old David Statler wrote and illustrated Roaring Guns" three years ago he prefaced the little dime store notebook manuscript with this
 Written and Published by Da- vid Statler."
 Of course, it really hadn't been published. But his mama's cook told him that it sure ought to be-" And anyway, in the mind of eight-year- old, anything was possible
 AS things turned out--and it was pretty startling both to David and his parents-"Roa Guns" was put into book form and it rolled from the presses of New York pub lisher- Simon & Schuster) --all 6l pages.
 Could Do Even Better
 With a toy six-shooter slapped ir a holster at his side and sombrerc perched at dangerous angle atop his head. the slight but sturdy youth discussed his work with the pardon able modesty of an author who has not yet reached his 18th birthday.
 T could improve on it lot now, he said.
 He may have meant that knowl. edge gained in subsequent years might make a difference in the spell ling of certain passages. There was room for improvement. he thought in his description of Bill thomson as the badest robber in the West. ' Bill gets killed twice in three pages.
 Spelling, MT. Statler observed, is the sixth-grade subject at which he excels. His mother added that he makes equally good grades in other subjects. particularly "deportment.
 His Own Illustrator
 Roaring Guns" tthe title also is by Statler) was inspired, the author guessed, by an overwhelming en- thusiasm for western movie thrill lers." Will James, the cowboy-au- thor whose illustrations David is pleased to believe his own resemble, became his idol.
 These, and an unbounded imag- nation, produced Roaring Guns"
 T had written several little stories before" David remarked But none of them ever amounted to much. Now I think I'll write Some more ?
 We gave him little encourage ment' Mrs. Statler recalled. Tn fact MT. Statler and I had never read the manuscript through con- pletely until an aunt of David's, a book store operator, visited us and expressed amazement at the story
 The aunt showed the story to a book agent who interested the pub- fishers,

 Roaring Guns" drips with mur- der and gun play There isn't dull moment on any page. The chap ter on Trouble" covers the shoot ing of 300 meri-scores of others are tomahawked. In some of the illus trations are large pools yelling about inert forms; the pools are labeled blood.
 Like many intellectuals. Mir. Stat Ter is quiet and reserved in contrast to his blood-and- thunder writing. He likes football and baseball, and this summer he developed into some- thing of tennis wizard.

LUMBER CUNTS
 ROLL DUO SHIFT
 AT ELkS' ALLEYS

Major League schedules at the Elks Club Sunday utilized the alleys for most of the afternoon.
 The five-man teams turned in some fat scores, particularly in the second game of the first match be- tween Juneau Lumber Mills and Brunswick The lumber crew in this instance toppled one more pin than an even 1000. Their marksmanship was good enough to give them the first two games and win the decision from Brunswick. Pin count was 274O for the lumber gang to 2607 for the opposition.
 E. Galao rolling on foreign ter ritory chalked out a 6B match score to win individual honors for the afternoon.
 Second contest gave the hard working Juneau Lumber Mills an- other victory at the tail end of a doubleheader. They did the trick in three straight against the Alaskan Hotel quintet. Stewart of the win ners made big push for individual honors of the day by making 615 match score and totaling POS aver age as against the 206 for Galao

Joe Louis Gets Cash
 Fast Time
Coins S1 ,440 Each Seeond- Ranks Among Top
 Money Makers

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-When John Henry Lewis took three drops before retiring as prescribed by Doctor Joe Louis, it made Doctor Joe perhaps the fast money maker in prizefight history, figuring the return from time actually spent in pursuit of his work.
 Tn his title defenses against Max Schmeling and Lewis, the bomber was in action a total of only four minutes and thirty three seconds and his wages for the two bouts totaled $386,035.
 4 little arithmetic shows Louis re- ceived $86,400 a minute. or $1,440 a second, indicating the ring may be just a square arena to the other fighters, but to Joe it is diamond ring.
 Gene Tunney received a record purse of nearly one million dollars for his battle with Jack Dempsey in Chicago but the fight went the full ten rounds, or thirty minutes and Genes pay off was at the rate of approximately $33,333 a minute
 Not All Velvet
 Naturally the money received by Louis is not all velvet. Managers trainers and general upkeep of a championship establishment take a nice chunk of the total and the government gets it's share without donning a glove, but there still is plenty left to go in the bank under the name of the front man.
 Such amazing figures probably will send scores of adolescent youths into barns and musty gymnasiums. their eyes gleaming with dreams of fame and wealth quickly attained.
 They turn their backs to another act of the ring drama which shows thousands of m biti ious youths, starting with the same glowing am- bition, slowly disilusioned as fleet ing local fame fades, the big purses ciuQC lIlCltl, dilQ OiiCC-lidliOoOlilC lCd- lures begin to take on that twisted, scared flat look which remains a trademark through life.
 Second Item
 One the same sports page which carried a box listing Louis earnings, as well as column upon column ex- toling the champion as the greatest of the great. was buried small item.
 It carried the information that one Emilio Solomon, thirty seven, had suffered stroke and had been removed to hospital. It further identified Emilio Solomon as King Solomon, heavyweight fighter
 King Solomon, who once took an unmerciful beating at the hands of Bearcat Wright and who later was dropped out of Jack Sharkey's train ing camp because he couldn't stand a sparring partner role, is just one of the thousands to whom the prize ring is just brutal, precarious living.
 For every king there are thou sands of subjects who briefly bask in gaudy glory, then fade from the scene
