BY FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK, February 2o.-Selection
Of Lou Magnolia of New York to referee
the Sharkey- Stribling battle at Miami
Beach on February 81, was q good
move-but this compromise choice does
not finally settle the wrangle that has
developed.
The New York Boxing Commission
has rule which prohibits any OF its
licensed referees from officiating in
bouts outside Of New York State, and
unless this rule is suspended in the
present case, Magnolia will not be able
10 referee the Miami Beach fight.
In the event that Magnolia is unable
to oficiate, Dempsey may name a Mid
western referee and settle the argu-
ment for good.
There are any number of qualified
men now at Miami Beach who would
jump at the chance to referee the fight
The A. B. Dickerson of Grand Rapids.
Mich, qualified referee, is in Florida
with expectations of getting the assign
ment. Then there is Ed Cochrane,
sports editor of the Kansas City journal
Post, who afficiates at many important
foot ball games and boxing contests in
the Midwest. Cochrane undoubtedly
would be agreeable to all parties, as he
Is known for his fairness. He has been
invited to attend the fight and has
chartered an airplane to make the trip
from Kansas City to Florida.

date for the new member of the bench.

ing of the association and resolu-
ton was proposed by George H. Lamar
and amended by Roger j. Whiteford

citation to name a committee to can
vaSs the situation and make a recon-
mendation of the names of available

THE commission reached the conclu-
sion that while the change from the
use Of smokeless anthracite to smoke
producing bituminous coal (Which came
during the World War was practically
necessary, nevertheless the amount of
destructive black smoke emitted by Gov
eminent buildings, hotels, apartment
houses and Office buildings is excessive.
BY excessive Is meant that the evil may
be mitigated greatly If not altogether
removed.
THE Lincoln Memorial receives de-
posts of SCOT from the chimney Of the
heating plant Of the Public Health Serv-
ice and the Naval Hospital, as we'll as
from neighboring apartment houses.
The Freer Gallery of Art is situated IL:
! a center of smoking chimneys. The
money cost of this preventable nuisance,
already large, is on the increase. Every
fine building erected in the District Is
soon begrimed.
1.-THE problem must be faced by the
officers Of the Government, first. in the
purchases of coal of low volatile con-
tent; and, secondly, in training and re-
| quiring engineers to insist on proper
firing. Also, new plants. whether govern
mental or privately owned, should be re-
quired to be fitted to burn the grades
Of coal used. There is a problem, blu;
it can be solved"
Designed to furnish proof of this, the
commission cited the case of the Blu
reau of Standards central power plant
so that, 1t says, particular attention
has been given to the boilers and fur
! naces to the end that absolutely smoke
less combust,Nh may be obtained at all
times"

GROUP APPOINTED
TO STUDY D. c. LAW
ON BOILER CHECKS
Action Is Result of Fatal
Blast at McCrory Store
Here Last Week.
STEP TAKEN TO PREVENT
POSSIBLE RECURRENCE
Regulations Held Unavailing
Against Mechanical Processes
Beyond Control.

Looking to possible revision of the
local ordinances regulating hot-water
boilers, Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner Donald A. Dawson has appoint
ed commission of three to study the
existing laws and to determine whether
any revision or addition to them might
act to prevent disasters such as the
one which occurred last week in the
McCrory Five and Ten Cent Store.
On the commission are Col. John w
Oehmann,. building inspector; A. r.
McGonegal, plumbing inspector, and
p. M. Greenlaw, inspector of boilers.
They are expected to conf1ne their
examination to laws affecting the in
stallation, maintenance and inspec-
ton of heating apparatus and plumb
ing fixtures in connection with hot
water heating.
The result Of the study will be re-
ported to Col. William B. Ladue, En-
gineer Commissioner, by Mai Dawson
as soon as the commission has complet-
ed its work.
Maj. Dawson announced that this
examination is being made to make
sure there is no way in which the Dis
trict regulations can be improved so as
to reduce the possibility Of such ex-
plosions occurring.
The McCrory blast, in which six per-
sons were killed and score injured
was in all probability caused by me-
chanical processes difficult to anticipate
and the mere enactment of regulations
he said, would not be competent to pre-.
vent situations Of this nature from
arising.

ITALIAN GARDEN
IN MERIDIAN PARK
Fine Arts Commission En-
visions Project as 3 Years
Work Is Reviewed.

An italian garden overlooking the
City of Washington is envisioned as the
future of Meridian Hill Park, at Flor
ida avenue and Sixteenth street, by
the Fine Arts Commission In its elev-
enth report, which surveys work COW
ering the last three years.
Outlining plans for the completed
park, which Is now under construction
the report says that the rejecting pool
so by 1874 feet, will be enriched by the
addition Of posts and urns, IL antique
oil jars filled with trailing vines, that
will have their beauty reflected in the
pool, as at the villa d'Este at .Tivoh
with perhaps two types of coping, and
of such height as afford children pleas.
ure at the edge Of the pool playing
with boats.
1.-THE mosaic pavement which will
border the pool has been Simplified BY
the report. THE much changed fore
court to the garden has finally beer
brought down to q mere crossing OF
the two walks with consequent thicken-
ing Of the tree-hedge mass. The change
in the location Of walks to the cascade
serving entrance permits planting i'm
mediately against curving walls of as
cents from the lower garden to the
cascades.
"a clipped hedge Of holly will inclosc
the park. The grand terrace cascades
extending to the lower garden are major
projects to be completed. The cascades
will diminish from the lower base t.
the grand terrace, and will consist Of a
series of shallow basins bordered by
planting and fianked by walks with
seats. The water will fall from one
basin to the next through shell outlets
at the edge Of the basins.
THE grand terrace, so feet wide and
300 feet long east and west, will be
planted with four rows Of elm trees
From the terrace visitors can look over
the city. The Jeanne dare memorial
occupies q central position on the grand
terrace. There will be easy ascentS from
the lower garden to the upper level. A
music pavilion will be near the grand
terrace.
THE upper level, now completed, is
much used by residents Of the locality
In fact, 1t is the only park in that
densely populated neighborhood."

WATCHES STOLEN
IN SHOP WINDOW
Robbers Break Pane in Store
Front and Escape With
$500 in Loot.

To the adage Its an Ill wind that
blows no one good" burglars applied
their trade last night, and the chill
blasts that drove late travellers from
the sidewalks of F street played into
the hands of those who smashed the
display window of the Oppenheimer &,
Shaw jewelry shop at GOT F street and
escaped with 20 watches valued at be-
tween 5000 and s700.
Whether Is was the cold or fear
of detection which frightened the loot
ers away without much of the jewelry
in the store window, police today were
unable to say. Many valuables, In
Guiding other watches, bracelets and
silverware were left in the window and
one watch was dropped on the street
as the thieves hurried away from the
scene of their depredations.
4:30 o'clock this morning by Police
man Frederick r. Rabbi as he was max
ing his rounds. 1. N. Oppenheimer,
manager of the store, reported it is the
third robbery of about the same pro-
portions in the past five years.
Other thieves had no thought of the
present weather, however, for the police
report lists electric fans. as well
as Is chairs and II dozen knives and
forks as among loot taken yesterday
from the premises of Samuel Four
nasos, 213 John Marshall place.
Another thief fortified himself against
the chill blasts, for another police re-
port lists a fur coat valued at $500
and other wearing apparel valued at
$50 as stolen from the apartment OF
Alonzo j. Collins, 1901 Seventh street,
with the aid of duplicate key.
