COUNCIL CONSIDERS
 NEW BUILDING CODE City Engineers Restrictions
 Would Reduce Fire Hazard TWO EXITS FROM HOMES
Maine Club Arranges Program For Friday Night - Bristol Boys Win Harvard Scholarships - nion Thanksgiving Service.

Reduction of the fire hazard is
 stressed in the changes to the city's
 building code, as prepared by City
 Engineer Carleton w. Ruell and con-
 sidered by Mayor John F. Wade and
 the common council last night. De-
 cision as to the acceptance of the
 revised code was not made last night
 but will be considered at meeting
 of the city board in the near future as some minor changes in few of the regulations will be taken up be-
 for the code becomes city law.
 A certificate Of occupancy is one Of the most drastic changes of the new set of rules. In this requirement., certificate to build must be secured as at present and after the building is completed the owner must have an inspection by the building inspector and if all of the city regulations have been compiled with the certificate of occupancy, allowing the use of the structure will be granted.
 Fireproof structures as far as und including the ceiling Of the first floor will be required in future construction in the inner circle" of the fire limits. which comprise tho present fire limit section. The outer circle will have more lenient construction require ments and includes all Of the city's bounds outside Of the present fire limit. Included in the requirements will be that of two entrances for each dwelling or tenement house, one rear and the other a front entrance. In connection with this change, City Engineer c. N. Buell said last night there were many houses in the Ingra- ham hill section which do not com ply with this ruling as the third floor has but one en,ran, !, d rear way, so that in case Of fire, the upper story tenants would be bottled up. When the freproof structures were consid- cred for the inner limits it was thought to apply tho same rule here as in Hartford and other cities. that is to require all fireproof structures within the designated limits. not hav- ing one or two stories freproof and the other less carefully built. This regulation was though too harsh so dN HbIhSllnFti NdS hFftfltl Hphhl#
 Tn the new regulations. garages, erected on abntiing properties will be built three feet from the property line to allow plenty of space for the hremen to work in ease of blaze. Where three CT four garages are built. each practically hanging upon the other as in the case of abutting lands, the nremen ha,c hard times in case Of fires.
 No signs will bc erected in the city without the permission Of inc super. intendent of public works in the fu. ture. This will do away, with the erection or advertising matter that may interfere with traffic vision as In the case Of several signs on the road 10 Forestyille. These obstruc- lions have been complained of aud he interference to the line Of vision has nearly caused number of ac- 'idents. so the reports were made 10 he council last night

CULLMAN HI HAS
 CHANCE AT TITLE
Victory Over St. Bernard Should Give Team State
 Title, Claim

PULLMAN, Ala, ov. 2S.-(Special.) ) At Cullman every question is-"wil' Cullman High beat St. Bernard on Thanksgiving? To Bernard & win would mean much-to Cullman 1t will mean 8 possible clear title to state honors in high school football in Ala bama. Bernard wants to Leat Gull man more than any other team. There Is keen rivalry between tho two teams. both being in the same town.
 Dope would favor Cullman to win, as this team has done wonders this year. Dope is of very little value in the annual game, however, as one of the other one to win. Then Cullman will have three stars out of the game on account of injuries.
 Cullman has one of the very best teams in the state, It defeated the Howard Bullpups 20 to O, while no oher high school team has been able to score on them. The Cullman eleven defeated Walker 50 to 0, while Walker beat Fayette to 0, Jefferson. County High 19 to and won several other hard games.
 The local team has scored 1s4 points to opponents 0, easily winning over all teams played except Decatur and that game was thrown out by the central board of the State High School Athletic association.
 It Is doubtful that any other team can show such a record and a victory over St. Bernard should give the Cullman team the state champion shin

BATTLING SIKI IS OFF ON RAMPAGE

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Battling Sili is running wild somewhere in the heatherland about Freddy Welsh s Summit N. J., health farm, the elusive quarry of a searching party formed by his manager, Robert Moe Levy.
 The Battler who became noted by pranks in France, escaped Sunday night with money in his pocket.
 Sucker that I am," Levy explained, q gave him a whole thousand dol lars when he asks for spending money, and tell him to be careful. But what do find him doing in liar lem an hour later? l ask you what do I find? He is making himself 9 colored coal oil Johnny and is giving away his money just like that
 T try to make him quit and what do get? get chased, but I get away and later we capture the battler. In a taxicab he goes and we drive to Fred Welshs, out at Summit, a whole S27.S0 worth, which l have to pay. Then I open the door and the Battler leaps out like a panther, swings off the limb of tree, jumps a fence, whoops and Is gone.
 "It Is the first time I tried to keep Senegalese. First I am afraid ] won't find him. then I an afraid l will. If you see anybody that sees him. tell them to tell him to come home and everything Is forgiven"
