OSE G892-89TOD rex “Jack” Dowman has a new partner. James Woods has come 3,000 miles from San Francisco to assist the ge- nial manager of the Biltmore, Bel- mont, Murray Hill, Manhattan and Commodore Hotels in running the greatest chain of hotels in the coun- try. Mr. Woods left the Waldorf-Astoria thirteen years ago to take charge of | the St. Francis, the palatial caravan- sary of San Francisco. He just had > |to Ko Out West, because thoy needed him to run the St. Francis. Then he » | just had to come back to New York because the Bowman chain of hotels needed him to help run them.

Foel trouble. Adminint: Halt ¢ went on strike the Splitdorf plant At the em- rs it was sald no sioner and said “goodby” to the St. Francis, they wept tears and wine. They gave a big banquet to him and there was a procession down to the Oakland Ferry ‘to see him off. All the cops were dressed in their best uniforms, and they all rubbernecked to give him their best salute. It was the second time in six years that he had resigned from the head of the department, and they thought TORUN NEW YORK'S When they had the fire out in San Francisco in 1906 most of the hotels were pushed off the map by fire, dynamite and otner snocks, The St. up ithe a staunch yacht je at sea, ont the interior wrecked In a manner that wasn't nice. Mr. Woods gained permission from the Park Commissioners to put up a hotel in the park opposite. In forty-five days after the fire the St. Francis Annex had 150 rooms ready for occupancy. It was an oasis in @ desert of ashes, Visitors to the Coast at that time will recall that delightful hostelry in Union Suare, with its flower-scented shaded pathways leading to the main entrance. It was the real life of the devastated city for many moona Mr. Woods was meantime rebuilding the Interior of the big St. Francis; then he helped to rebuild “the city that was.” Then they made nim a Police Commissioner and he helped to keep good the city that was built. Gus White was made Chief of Police and still holds the Job. “A fine man is the chief,” said Mr. Woods. “A reformer? No, not ex- actly. He believes in and carries out the policy of liberality with decency.” When “Jimmy” went to San Fran- cisco, they took him out to the Clift House to show him the seals. “Have you seen our seals?" was the oven sesame of conversation in those days instead of “I think we'll have rain be- fore night.” It never snows in San Francisco, Then they took him “over the roof” to the Japanese Gar- dens. That trip cost the new mana ger many a bottle of wine, He'll tell you about it. Maybe he will, The Cliff House was—is—one of the great show houses on the ocean front. But the proximity of the Pre- sidio, the big army reservation, bas just closed down the cabaret, Mr. Woods says, so that the Cliff House, with the whole Pacific Ocean rolling at its feet, is as dry as Sahara. Mr. Woods comes back to his native village almost a stranger. When he| left here, they had horse cars hacks, He remembers the old gray- coated Hack Inspector, who stood at the Grand Central Terminal, which was then a bunch of sheds with a tin roof, “Some change,” mused Mr. Woods this morning, as he regarded the ter-| minal zone through a window in the | most I recognize only a few old landmarks Among y York's landmarks of to- day are buildings which were put up thirty years ago. is one «f them.
