Cole Sees Peril
 Of Lodging House
 Fires In This Civ

Alderman Oliver c. Cole of the Eleventh district and chairman of the fire department committee of the Com mon Council, has begun an investiga- ton to prevent any lodging house fire in Bridgeport similar to that in Bos- ton in which 28 men were burned to death yesterday. Alderman CoIe who has for years made an exhaus- tive study of matters pertaining to Lire departments and especially the Bridgeport department, believes there are a number of lodging houses in Bridgeport in which fires similar to the Boston holocaust are liable to oc- cur.
 Just where these houses are situated the alderman Is not yet ready tu say, He said, today, however:
 That fire in Boston is an awful thing to think of and my investi- gations have shown n1e that similar fires may occur at any time in Bridge port. I intend to take this mat ter up with the proper authorities at once with a view to having these con- ditions changed to prevent such trag- edies in Bridgeport I had been look ing over the ground with just that purpose h1 view when I read of the fire in Boston. | I do not want to name the places I have in mind or say anything for publication until I am ready to act in the matter.

 ''I took no notice of him. she said. ''He spoke again, but I didn't an. swer''
 Then he said, Nice day, isn't it? Everybody seems to be out today I was angry then and it flashed on me that if I could keep him following me until we came to a policeman I could have him arrested. So I just said yes.
 '|Then he wanted to know &hy ?. was walking 50 fast.
 '' You just trot along and I'll show you why I answered.
 He did that right along, and I didn't do a thing but march him right up to the traffic policeman in Herald Square and asked for his arrest guess that's when smiled; not be- fore
