HARD FOUNDING CAPE FLATIRON
Worst Day the Guardian Cops Have Ever
seen-IiIow al Long Acre Square.

Yesterday was the worst day the flatlron
building has ever seen. and it was the fer
vent wish OF the three policemen who were
on duty at the Twenty-third street crossing
that there never would be another like 1t.
Around the Times Building in Long Acre
Square conditions were quite as bad,
Pedestrians were lifted up bodily and
blown into snow heaps. II il hadn't been
for the piles Of snow that received them
the list of bruised and manned would have
been large. As it was, no one was hurt at
either point.
1t was question around which building
the wind blew harder At times it seemed
as if the verdict might 60 to the uptown
structure. People we're drawn in toward
the Times Building if they walked the short
block between Broadway and Seventh
avenue. whether they wanted to enter or
not Many a man was drawn down the
tunnel entrance here that didn't want 10
ride on the subway.
At the Flatiron tho sweep across Madison
Square Park tossed people every which
way. Women Jared the worst at both these
weather tried points, but they we're not
bothered yesterday by grinning onlookers
The weather was too much even Tor the
most hardened rubberer.
The wind also kept the sidewalks clear
about both buildings, but piled the snow
up In heaps in the roadways. The snow
shifted from time 10 time. and whore there
WIS pile early in the day there was none
bv nishtfall
Every cne who could summed the twenty
third street crossing and ~ wasn't until
the shops began 70 send their employees
home late In the afternoon TINT traffic be-
came heavy At no time was there any
great number of people sclIrrying oy the
Times Building, not even at night when
ordinarily folks are hurryinR to he theatres.
The policemen On duty al Twenty third
street had their hands full, and they were
glad when their days work ended, They
had TO stand the brunt of the storm all day
long. and they looked like snow men. Most
of their time was spent in helping storm
tossed pedestrians and assisting drivers
whose vehicles had stuck in the snow.
Dozens Of carriag es were stranded around
the Flatiron during the day.
Early in the day a valiant photographer
gained the admir- alton Of the cops by seturg
up his tripod on mound Of snow in the road
way in front of the Flatiron and trying to
get series of pictures Of the building
He no sooner got his camera set than a
gust of wind would blow him and II over.
In the end he succeeded and made many
pictures of the building.
Broadway, in the theatre district, was
deserted last night at o'clock There
wasn't anybody out except those who had
