 FOR BUILDINGS
 FOR OIL STORAGE
PROPOSED BRIDGEPORT CODE HAS NOTHING ANSWERING TO RULE IN CODE USED BY DIS- TRICT OF COLUMBIA.

Persons connected with the Fire De- partment, whose duty it is to inspect buildings, from time to time, and keep watch over the storage of explosives and extra inflammable material, say that there is in the proposed build ,ng code no adequate provision regu- .ating the storage of petroleum and other oils.
 The ru provided in the code adopt ed by the District of Columbia is re- garded as about the kind of legisla- tion that would be valuable in Bridge port. The rule follows:
 Buildings designed for the storage of petroleum or articles of a like na- ture shall not be less than 100 feet from any other building and be con structed as follows, to wit:
 'Their walls shall not be less than IS inches thick, nor more than 16 feet high. Their floors shall be made of fire proof paving, or concrete upon the ground which shall be five. feet below the street grade; their roofs shall be of metal with fire walls IS inches high on all sides, not less than 13 inches thick and with coverings of incombus- tible material and subject to the ap- proval of the fire marshal"

In a recent discussion about the romantic drama, Frederick Edward Mckay, the dramatic critic of the N. Y. Evening Mail, called attention 10 the fact that James K. Hackett was about the only romantic actor on the American stage who had all the quail .ifications of the romantic actor, and he enumerated voice, physique, workmanship and lastly, the large, full, rowing eye of the tragedian.
 ''It is curious" wrote MT. Mckay, that there never was a great actor who did not have a large rowing eye

Then comes the question. how

''lf | beat Jeffries." continued the
champion Il shall be the first to

me, | shall be the first to congrat-

Johnson apparently has made up
his mind to train steadily now. To
day he did ten miles on the road,
boxed four rounds, wrestled, cut
wood and tossed the medicine ball.
He said he intended to play base
ball.
Johnson's sudden metamorphosis
from man of leisure to pugilist
in training for a big battle is caus-
ing a change of opinion among the
fans who watched him work and
they believe that he does not in
tend to loaf until the last minute,
as was heretofore the belief.
Johnson is considerably over
weight, but will not endeavor to
take off superfluous flesh until he
reaches the coast.
Jack got a letter today from
Africa, which informed him that
the negroes are selling elephant
tusks and other valuables to raise
money to bet on him in his fight
with Jeffries.

STOERKEL MAY
WRESTLE AL|N

A match is likely to be arranged
between Jack Ain, who defeated
Rudolph Goeffry, the big Pittsburg
wrestler last night. and Alex Stoer-
KEEL, who has but recently arrived
from the south, where he has met
many good men. Stoerkel is quite
short and at present weighs close
to 1870 pounds, but says he can work
down to 175 with comparative ease.
He was at Academy hall last
night to challenge the winner of the
Alin-Geoffry match. Aims long
suit is the catch-as-catch-can game
and it Is likely that Stoerkel can
easily arrange match with him to
wrestle under that style. Stoerkel
looks like a good man and he states
that he has wrestled all the way
from Alaska, down through south
ern California and the eastern and
southern states.

throughout the match and put his

for the first time in 4:45, with a

In their second encounter Ain
all but had Geoffry after about
seven minutes of wrestling, but
Geoffry broke his hold before the
referee could give him decision.
Then came the fastest work OF
the entire match. in which both
went to the mat on their sides and
Geoffry nailed Aims shoulders to
the mat with side roll. The fall
came in 1914
Geoffrys shoulders went to the

were well matched, and though

the scientific points of the game
he was pretty well winded by the

the aggressor from the start, but
was soon lowering over the mat
