of the newspaper man. and the climax was
reached when the writer was requested to
leave by the door which Mr.. Steers had
flung open for him. Following the writer's
exit Mr. Steers got down to the routine
work of his office.
During the day all the borough's bureau
chiefs visited the new president. who told
