NARROWED IN SKYSCRAPER
Two Girl Stenographers Res.
Cued by Police with Ladder.

Two young women stenographers, who
refused TO give their names, were locked
in the twelve story Office building at No. 4
West 47th street last night, ard after
calling up their employer, who in turn in
formed the police of the East 5'st street
station, they were rescued" by two po-
licemen. who procured twenty-foot lad
der and assisted the girls down from the
second floor. Despite the rain, there were
many curious persons interested in the
proceeding.
Lieutenant Miller Of the police station.
received a telephone message shorty after
o'clock last night from the clerk Of the
St Nicholas Club. who told the lieutenant
that he was speaking for Mr.. Albro. OF the
firm OF Albro & Lindeberg. architects,
which has Offices on the tenth for of the
building He said that two Of the stenog-
rsphers employed by Mr.. Albro were locked
in the building.
Patrolmen Ruth and Eagan hurried over
TO the building and found both Nj Albro
and Mr. Lindeberg on the sidewalk shout
ing words of encouragement TO the two
young women. who had managed to de-
scend to the second floor, but could go no
further.
From the first floor over the street, there
extends TO the curb a large canopy OF glass
and iron. One of the policemen tried to
climb up the pole leading 10 the roof OF the
canopy. but after several vain efforts 70
get more than half way up. decided to try
another plan. He borrowed ladder from
q Waterman in building half block
away. In the meantime the other police
man tried in vain TO raise the janitor OF
the locked building.
Ruth and Eagan placed the ladder against
the canopy and climbed 10 the roof. and
then pulled the ladder up after them. They
then placed the ladder up against the build
ing. under the window where the girls were
standing and told them 10 come down. The
girls hesitated at first. and told the police
men that they would not come down while
they were standing there. but the two men
told the girls that II they went down to
the street the ladder would have TO go
with them. and asked the young women
what they would do then.
During this argument a crowd had gath
cred. which took a keen interest in the
happenings The girls. after short con-
ference, told the policemen that they would
come down II the men would turn their
heads away. Both men CALAMITY complied,
and the girls descended TO the roof Of the
canopy. They then requested the two off,
GERS 10 make the crowd move on away from
under the ladder which had been slid down
TO the street.
Ruth and Eagan descended to the street.
and, despite the protests of the crowd,
some OF whom wanted to hold the ladder for
the young women, they cleared away the
end OF the second lap. The policemen tried
10 get the names OF the two girls, but they
refused TO tell who they We're AS they
didn't wish to see their names in the news
papers" Mr.. Albro then hailed taxicab
and the young women started homeward
He also declined to tell the names OF the
girls
