Shouts of a bellboy from a fifth floor window on the Broadway side of the Hotel Knickerbocker at 42d Street at 6 o'clock this morning roused drivers of all night cabs and chauffeurs and policemen and the few scattered passersby to the antics of two men who were climbing down the ornamental work on the outer wall from the wide ledge which runs about the hotel at the third floor.

He turned them back before they could reach the roof of the four-story building at the south of the hotel. * Meant.me screams from the reom of Mr. and Mrs, Aloysius J.
