Four’ Seconds Devoted to wa Greetings and Rest to .. “I’m Not Talking.” AND THE 23 WAS RUNG. But Miss Earle Did Get a Fleet- ing Glance at His Roose- veltian Teeth. BY RUTH EARLE. I have seen the real Waldo—no Bren- ner-begulling Impostor, thank you, but the only original dyed-in-the-blue-Rhine- lander blood Waldo, bold Bingham’s aide-de-camp. Ah! but ‘twas but a fleeting glance. We were lil night. No, we weren't. I was like a sloop in the America’s Cup race rounding the | atake-boat, In this pretty simile Com- missioner Waldo ‘s signified by the atake. But even this figure is insum- clent to express the brevity of our in- terview. I was In the private door of the First Deputy's private office and out | again in less time than it takes to luff and go about. You see, It wasn't one of Capt. Waldo's garrulous days. | I sent my card In to the Commissionér with the message that I wished to nee him. Had I been less colloquial and | put my business plainly in the words | “L want to talk with you." I fear 1| should have obtained no interview at all As tt was, our actual conference lasted Just twenty-three seconds. There was Ume taken out while the Commissioner talked over the ‘phone. In that period I was 80 busy taking long breaths for the broadside of questions I had ready to level on him that I did not even| notice Waldo's splendid military back. When I enterel the brand-new Com- | missioner was very busy looking in- | terrupted. | | A Commissioner's Greeting. “Good morning. Glad faid he. (Four seconds.) The words were grit from between the | aquare Rhinelander W. teeth with great clearness and rapidity. “I've come to talk to you about your past, present and future,” said I, sinking Into the luxurious cane-seated bentwood | chair at his side. (Eight seconds.) | “But I'm not talking."* (Two seconds.) | My gaze was fascinated by the Rhine- lander W. teeth. They are big, square, | @etermined, darn - garned - hang-on-to- @rim-death teeth, but I think the Theo- dore R. teeth are darn-garneder, The| Rhinelander W. lps are drawn tightly in the half-amile of the strenuously busy. The other features are regular. I apologize. I reallze that no inter- view {s complete without a vivid de- acription of eyes, hair, &c. Had I known that I bad only nine more sec- onds in which to observe my vis-a~ I would have taken a good lovk at hi 1 assure you. “But 1’ — So the Seconds Go. Just here the ‘phone rang and the Commissioner generously set the stop- watch that was timing our conference back two seconds so that I should loss to see you,” nothing, “Hullo! —- —_? ——! —_» said | the Commissioner. Ho wasn’t really talking over the ‘phone. “But I don’t want to talk about official business," I explained, as he hung up the receiver. (Four seconds.) “I'm not talking,” laconically, seconds.) “Not even of ?’—, (Two (One second.) ‘No; I'm not talking. Very sorry. (Here the alarm set for must have sprung.) Very glad to have met you. Good-day!"* But before he had ceased talking I had anticipated his wish and had left him to his big empty desk, with its lean, unused blotter and its empty doc- ument baskets marked respectively “Signatures,” Micial’’ and “Secre- tary." That was how I “saw” Rhinelander W. And it was all to have been so differ- ent! In spite of his secretary's warning that he wan very busy I had looked for- ais to a pleasant little heart-to-heart I had planned great things—an investl- gation of soclety methods as applied to lice regime—and a soul-dissecting chat Which the new Commissioner was to reveal his personality, ruling passions, Plans, motives and ambitions as he talked of apparent nothings, What She Wanted to Ask, Auu what 1 especially wanted 3 cover Was the family attitude toyard Tee a une, man's ne venture. fam! wanted to ask ‘Ko tt indly? 1 pwnactes he was expected to exclaim. ships that pass in the TER TYEE PEF TRY meme THE WORLD: SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1906.

The discovery of a laborer in the Washington Heights Hospital with both legs fractured, and the subsequent dis- closure that four more men were sent to thelr homes on Thursday night with similar fractures, attest the ingenious efforts of the Interborough ‘Transit Company to withhold the news of acci- dents in the Subway from the pwlice and the public.

Jan, 27,—All the survivors’ who reached shore near the ecene of the wreck of the Valencia have now been cored for, the last party of nine, who hed been stalled at the Dar- ling River on account of the flonded waters, reaching the steamer Salvor at Bamfield Creek last night. They were in a bad condition. Great credit 1s given the party from the Salvor, headed by Capt. Ferris, who left early Wednesday and travelled an almost impassible trail for fifteen miles, After a night spent on the trail they staried for home with the survivors. Before returning Capt. Ferris visited the wreck. He reports the beach liter- ally covered with wreckage, and at that thine five bodies were on shore being identified, A second party left the Salvor yester- day morning. They went as far as Pach- ena carrying packs of provisions and ex- tra clothing. At 3 o'clock they were joined by a landing party sent from the United States revenue outter Grant, ‘At Patchena provisions were made to succor the survivors. The party was sighted at 310 P. M., on a point of rock, having taken to the beach as the trail was too hard for the men to travel in thelr famished condition. The Associated Press correspondent was the first to reach them.

Only the steel pinning and halt a dozen cross beams are up on the eighth floor of the building. The big derrick was set on one of these lateral girders: and held into place by guy ropes that stretched out to cther parts of the fron- work. The derrick is one of the largest of the kind, welghing fifty tons. While a seven-ton ginier and three tons of angle Irons and cross pieces were being holsted to the eighth floor and were just passing the seventh floor, the beam supporting the derrick snapped. With a series of crashes that alarmed the guests in the Waldorf- Astoria, across the street, the base block of the derrick slddited, crashed from ‘te supports and fell in a tangle of iron two stories, Derrick’s Fall Stopped. The network of fron on this lower floor caught and supported the derrick from a further drop, and as it caught the ten tons of girder and angle irons snapped loose from the supporting steel fall and crashed on down to the sub- cellar, tearing out a great mass of iron debris as {t fell. ‘There were a dozen men working in the broad well or shaft through which the mass of steel fell, Some were tron- workers fastening cross-pleces ant angle-Irons on the floor just beneath the street level elnman was one of these men, He was in a more cx- posed position than any of his fellow workers, and when he heard the tnun- derous crashing above him, jumped to save himself.
