CAPTAIN CODY'S
PRUDENCE.
Ills Presence of Mind Avert
ed a Possible Panic at
the Academy on
Saturday.
NEARBY HOUSE AFIRB
The Captain Had It Extin-
guished Without Letting
the Engines Go Near
the Theatre.

Police Captain Cody has come in for
a good all-round need of praise for quick
thought and action during chimney fire
on Saturday afternoon. A man rushed
into his Office in the Gregory street sta
ton and said his house was on fire. He
gave his address as No. Gregory street
and then rushed out. Meanwhile some
one had pulled an alarm.
The captains mind, quick as flash,
grasped a situation. He knew that No.
Gregory street adjoined the Academy
of Music, where the regular Saturday af-
ternoon matinee was in progress, attend
ed almost entirely by women and chill
dren. He knew that the public mind is
much wrought up since the horrible
disaster at the Iroquois Theatre in Chi
cago, followed by the fight for better fire
projection in theatres in all cities of the
country. He knew that in minute or
so the IRE apparatus would be rushing
with bells changing and engines wheeling
close up to the theatre, so close that the
well-known noises could be heard inside
and that it might preeipitate panic.
Quicker than it takes to tell all these
thoughts that few like lightning through
the captains mind he had reserves sta
toned on the corners of the junction of
Van Worst, Gregory and Montgomery
streets, and others at other points stop
ping the rushing apparatus within half
a block of the theatre, and yet near
enough TO fight any kind Of FIRE. It
proved to be only chimney fire, easily
put out. Many of those who attended
the matinee do not yet know there was
fire next door and none knew of it until
after the performance.

PROPERTY OWNERSAT WAR
Residents of Allenhurst Air
Their Grievances in the.
Court of Chancery.

Chancellor Stevenson in Chaneery
Court this morning heard argument in an.
interesting fight between property owners
at Allenhurst over the restriction of
buildings in that town. George Morrow,
mayor of the toy&a, who has an expen-
sive home on one of the avenues leading
to the ocean, and who has for neighbors
wealthy New York business men and
others who have summer residences there
has started, through his counsel, s. A.
Patterson, suit against Frederick w.
Hasselman, an architect whose office is
at New York, and who lives during the
winter at Orange, for an injunction to
prevent him from completing an $4,000
house which he has partially erected for
summer use and to compel him to tear
down the portion already built and move
the foundations back FIVE feet further
from the street.
Mr.. Morrow alleges that Hasselman
has violated the restrictions placed upon
all Allenhurst property, which is sold sub
ject to conditions as to building lines and
the rights of adjoining property owners.
He alleges that Hasselman is building
five feet over the line mapped out by the
promoters of the settlement and that by
so doing he interferes with his (Morrow'sl
view of the ocean. In retaliation Hassel-
man alleges that Morrow overstepped the
building line by erecting a structure five
feet over it, and that he has as much
right to build over the line as Morrow
has. Morrow in reply states that he did
built a winter parlor as a temporary ex-
tension to his his house, to- shield it from
the wind, but that since the papers We're
drawn he has removed it. The case is
still on.
