Brilliant flames were leaping high
from the home of Mrs. W. J. Coleman.
a negress living near North Thir-
teenth and streets, when the fire da-
partments arrived in response to an
alarm last night. Although a half doz-
en- streams of water were played on
the blaze, the firemen were unable to
save the story and half frame how
ell. Ii burned to the ground with the
contents. causing a loss of 500.
Several small children were playing
with matches in a bed room of the
house. The lace curtains caught fire
and within few minutes the entire
roof was blazing. The children were
removed without difficulty by an old
er sister. Just after the fire compan-
les arrived the roof and floors fell in,
causing a blaze which could be seen
from all parts of the city. Mrs. Cole
mans husband died a week ago. and
with the loss of her home, the condi-
ton of the family is pathetic The

LANG IS TO MEET
SAM LANGFORD SOON
Australian Champion Heavy
weight to Take on the
Boston Negro.

London. Feb. 1G.-Bill Lang. cham
pion heavyweight fighter of Australia
and Sam Langford. the Canadian-born
negro who is now generally recogniz
ed as one Of the best of the big fight
ers in America, have completed the
work of preparation for their 2O-round
contest at McIntosh's Olympia Annex
No heavyweight battle since the Gun
ner Moir-Tommy Burns fight has ar
oused so much interest and enthus
iasm among the London sporting fra
tcrnity. The advance sale of seats
indicates that a record-breakine
crowd will be at the ringside to sec
the two big fighters meet.
The fighter from America will en-
ter the ring favorite unless there is
"A sudden and unwarranted switching
of the betting odds. Langford is nc
stranger on this side of the water and
the ring critics well remember the
ease with which he disposed of Tiger
Smith. jeff Thorne and Ian Hague
who were among the most prominent
OF the heavyweights that England has
produced in late years.
L.angfOrd's greater ring experience
Is figured as one of his chief assets
In his fight with the Australian. He
has been In the ring more than ter
years and has taken part in 100 bat
ties. He never has suffered a knock
out and has lost less than dozen
battles on referees decisions.
In Lang, the negro will meet Z
younger man who has made remark
ably good showing considering the
time he has been in the ring. The
Australian has nearly all the natural
advantages over LangfOrd. He has 6
longer reach, is many pounds heavier
and Is an inch or two taller than the
man from America. He Is said to bt
remarkably fast on his feet for a mar
of his side. but in this respect he will
have no advantage over the negro
Which of the two can hit the harder
Is u matter OF opinion. for both are
known to have stiff punch. Lang
