LOCKED IN ICE CHEST
MAN ALNOSE FREEZES
Imprisoned Porter Finally Shuts Of
Bars Air Spigots and Attracts
Attention Of Attendant.

NEW YORK. Aug. u.-Alexander
Beck. bar porter OF the Marlborough
Hotel, spent all his spare time during
the day wherever he could find the most
sunshine, and in the meantime as he
went about his duties his joints Creak-
ed and rasped like the rusty hinges OF
a door.
He does his principal work shifting the
beer kegs, watching the mineral waters,
stirring up the fruits, and managing the
straws and other things in the big re-
frigerator under the sidewalk. While
Beck was IN there squeezing lemons a
Waterman came along the underground
labyrinth, and, noticing only that the
door was not shut and muttering some
thing about carelessness, slammed 1t
and threw the lock over.
Beck was a prisoner. He felt his body
chilling gradually and he asserts chat
teringly that when a nervous perspire-
ton came out on his forehead the drops
fell on the floor ike marbles. He tried
TO dance, but there was not room
enough, so he practiced juggling lemons.
His hands got so cold he could not tell
when they touched him, and. after he
had tried beating on the wall with his
fists for a minute, he stopped for fear
he would break of a hand or a finger.
His friends were almost willing to be-
teve him up to this point. but when he
declared that he sat down and tried to
weep. but the icicles nearly blinded him,
they refused further sympathy.
He was giving up in despair. when he
remembered that the valves Of the air
pumps attached to the beer spigots OF
the bar were in the room. He shut on
every spigOt in the floor above and then
sat down TO wait,
Ten minutes later the manage. came
downstairs with a harsh word on his
lips for the porter who would allow the
air TO run out OF the pumps. He opened
the vault himself and the next minute
he was carrying Beck out into the open
air. He had been in that room little
more than an hour It was feared he
might suffer an attack OF pneumonia,
but a physician says he appeared 20
