THRILLING SNAKE FIGHT.
Big Tussle Between Clown Bobby Maci;
and Big Constructor at the
Hagenback Show.


Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-This is a most
extraordinary story of a fight between
a man and 19 foot boa constructor.
bobby Mack. a respectable and trust
worthy empfOye, holding the position
of clown and animal instructor with the
Hagenback wild animal aggregation.

with one na. Mack, with bas1"
ball bat, was unable to finish the
snake. The serpent not only showed
remarkable agility, but showed that 1t
had genuine courage. and could fight
like cornered panther. 1t gave Mr..
Mack the prettiest tussle for points
history has probably ever recorded 1t
is to be added that after two rounds
the fight ended in a draw, with both
contestants thoroughly winded.
Mack had occasion to 60 into the
show early this morning, when be
heard terrific threshing. Recognizing
at once that one of the snakes had es-
capped from its box, he advanced, and
saw the 10 foot boa constructor rear its
ugly head over the top of one OF the
animal cages. Mack looked around for
some weapon of defense, but finding
none turned and fled into the Es-
planade. where he secured a bat and
scurried back to the show. He thought
it would be fun to cut the snake into
mince meat with the club.
The snake had not escaped upon the
return Of Mack, but had opinions of it's
own in relation to the impending COM
bat 1t coiled itself into huge mass
and assumed defensive position. Up
went the club through the air and
caught the snake on the head For an
instant the snake wavered; then like
Kissing rocket it shot forward and
made )unge at Mack. Before the
snake recovered Mack had again given
it terrific blow with the club.
The clown rained blow after blow
upon the craZed creature and once was
sent sprawling 10 the ground Before
he could get on his feet the snake had
seized him around the waist and was
endeGvoring to crush him. Mack
wrigsled loose with the assistance of
Mathew Johnson and others. At the

Down In q heap went the snake. and
Mack was certain he had knocked 1t
completely out. but he was mistaken
The snake was up and after Mack, who
leaped aside. feinted with his bat, and

An Alleged Violation of the Building
Regulations.
House Said to Have Been Erected
Without Necessary Legal
Forms.

The District Commissioners are consider
ing an alleged violation of the building reg
ulations. 81 att
Mr.. John Sherman, who is a real estate
agent, with an office, On 1ith street above
F, controls Cleveland Park, and has put
up number of fine residences in the pretty
suburb. Several days ago his contractor,
John Simpson, well-known builder called
at the plumbing inspectors office with a
plumbing plan for new cottage at the
place named A permit was refused for the
reason that the plan was to some extent
not in conformity to the regulations. The
application was sent to the District ergi-
neer's department for action. Nothing
more was done the part of Simpson and
Mr.. Sherman, and when the circumstances
were casually mentioned in the building in
spector's office an investigation followed,
and it was found that the house in question
had been commenced and was under roof.
The records We're looked over, and ii was
further learned that no building permit had
been issued for the house in question.
Mr.. Sherman says in regard to the build
ing that it had so far been constructed in
strict accordance with the District regula-
tions. Mr.. Sherman also said the founda-
tons for an adjoining house We're now
being built, and that no permit had been
yet obtained Mr.. Sherman explained his
action by saying he had done the same
thing before, and that in this instance he
could not arrange promptly with the city
authorities about the construction of a
sewer with which the house would be con-
nected.
The Commissioners considered the matter
in board session yesterday afternoon. The
inspector of buildings was apprsed of the
conditions. Mr.. Sherman notified to
stop further work, which was done. Sub
Inspector Richard Evans had the case
placed in his hands and was instructed to
institute legal proceedings if he found the
conditions as reported. Mr. Sherman will
probably be taken into the Police Court to
answer two separate charges next Monday
the partial completion of one building and
the making CT an excavation and the con-
struction of foundation without permits.
The police department will have to eX-
plain why the work was allowed to go on
without the proper authority.
The present building regulations fix a
penalty for a violation, which reads as
follows:
Section 1875. Any person or persons
violating any of the foregoing regulations
shall, on conviction in the Police Court of
the District of Columbia. be punished by
fine of not less than 81 nor more than 800
for each offense, to be recovered other
fines and penalties are recovered"
The prosecution of work after notification
to quit has been served by the Commits
sioners constitutes a new offense for each
day the work is so prosecuted, and can be
punished by daily fines until the work is
abandoned The failure to secure a permit
in the beginning is also a punishable
offense and makes the offender liable to a
fine of 500

They Disapproye Certain Provisions in the
Public Library Bill
Also i'm the Measure for Municipal
neutrality-suspicious. Stated
by gr. brown.

The local architects. disapprove the pro-
visions of the municipal building and public
library bills which fix the compensation of
the architect chosen at 3 per cent and make
MIN subordinate to the superintendent of
construction. Mr.. Glenn Brown, secretary
OF the Washington Architectural Club, said
on this point to Star reporter today:
1t Is unfortunate for the architectural
beauty of the District of Columbia, and
might also say for the United States,
our city is so often the center of interest
for the whole country, that Congress should
have drawn the bills for the new municipal
building and the bill for securing plans for
the public library to be erected by Mr..
Carnegie on the lines indicated in The Star
of last night
1t is not probable that the best results
VIII be secured by the bill as drawn for the
IoLoWlng reasons: First, there is no provi-
sion Tor paying the invited competing acchi
tects; this possibly might be rectified in
the program, but it should be in the bill.
second, the architect selected under the
program should have full charge of the
work and be paid according to the general
Iy accepted rates for private work of the
same character, nancy, according to the
schedule OF rates as adopted by the Amer
lean Institute of Architects. Third, the ac-
cepted architect should, as is the case in
private work of like character, have full
charge of construction, contracts and the
issuing Oh cefthcateS for the disbursement
OF funds. Only in that way can a design
be carried out in accordance with the ideas
OF the designer. If an architect enters such
a competition he expects his work to be eX
ecuted under his own supervision.
AS this building is for a local library
there is d feeling that the competition
should be confined to local architects. This
was done in the competition for the COM
bined libraries of Lenox, Aston and Tilden
in New York. If such limitation is not
considered wise, as the maintenance is half
from the city and half from the govern
ment, local men should be half of the num-
Der selected to compete
THE two experts selected by the COM
petitors should be chosen before the pro-
gram for the competition is drawn up,
anc they in consultation with the ten Sc
lected. Competing architects should be con-
suited in the formatio of this program.
The tendency of the provisions on these
points of the bills as at present drawn for
these two buildings is to defeat the OBJ
Ject which is most desired to be obtained,
i. e., getting men of conspicuous ability and
experience to make competitive drawings.
Many members of the Washington Chap
ter American Institute of Architects con-
cur in the above opinions, although they
have taken no formal action in the matter.
The Washington Architectural Club have
formally expressed themselves as strongly
opposed to the bill as drawn, and desiring
modification in accordance with the above
