SAYS HIRSHFIELD
Which Partly Explains His
Attack on Fire Department
Medical Bureau.
WILLIAMS CASE INVOLVED
Commissioner Beat Director
to Investigation Of In
jured Fireman.

It may, and again II may not, be Of
general interest to the public to know
that one william Bullock, director. of
tho Good Government Bureau, says that
January 2. 1918. David Hirshfield, Com
missioner Of Accounts. was a personal
messenger from Mayor Hylan to say to
Mr.. Bullock that His Honor must have
you In his Administrator by hook or
crook" This, interpreted by Mr.. Bull
lock, meant that he wanted him to "ac-
cept public Office in the Department OF
Street Cleaning"
In March Of the same year, Mr.. Bull
lock still speaking, Mr.. Hirshfield be-
sought" him to accept an appointment
in the office Of Commissioner of Accounts
and pledged himself that he would ar
range that Mr.. Bullock's compensation
should be as great as his own.
Furthermore, Mr.. Bullock says that in
June of the same year messenger. who
said he came direct from the Mayors
Office, urged him to undertake an inves-
tigation of the twelve years activity OF
the Board of Water Supply. Mr.. Bull
lock was tOlu, ne says, that WAY ny ioh
looked upon his Commissioner Of Ac'
counts as "joke."
! All of which was called out by al
earlier statement Of Mr.. Hirshfield. which
sought to explain the attack OF Mr.
Bullock on the medical bureau OF thu
Fire Department and on Commissioner
Hirshfield by saying that Mr.. Bullock
was an unsuccessful applicant for th'
lob of Commissioner OF Accounts,
Mr.. Hirshfeld also suggested tina
Mr.. Bullock was out OF sorts when HI
heard that the Commissioner of Accounts
had investigated the case of Henry f
Williams, the fireman ordered back t.
work by the chief medical officer of th'
department while his back was encasec
in a plaster cast, before Bullock had go
around to II. Also that Mr.. Hirshfielt

20 FLOORS NO HIKE
FOR BILL SEWALL
Roosevelt Guide Not Bothered
by Elevator Strike.

"Bill" Sewall, former woodsman and
guide to Col. Roosevelt and one time
Collector of Customs In Houlton, Me-,
entered the lobby Of the Metropolitan
tower yesterday forenoon to attend a
meeting of the Roosevelt Memorial As
ISOLATION. on the twenty-ninth floor.
When told that the elevator service was
in allegiance because of a strike of the
force in the fire room, where the power
is generated, he started briskly to walk
years.
1--WE often walked over forty miles
a day in the Maine woods and this ought
not bother me much, l guess" said he.
Friends hastened to tell him that one
of the elevators was running although
1t could hold but sixteen persons and
was packed at every trip. So Mr.. Sew
all waited his turn and presently
reached his destination without having
to climb.
"But 1 could have done it If I'd had
to-" he told those at the meeting.
Thousands of business men, clerks and
stenographers who go daily to the fifty
storled tower to business were not as
fortunate as the woodsman and large
proportion of them climbed YEARLY to
their work. Scores of dafntily dressed
stenographers. however. contented them
selves with telephoning up to their re-
spective employers that the elevator:
were not running. Then. with the con-
seriousness of duty faithfully performed
they opened fresh packages of chewing
gum, drew novels from their handbags
and sat unconcernedly on the stairs, lost
in the printed pages of romance.
An emergency shift was hurried L
the fire rooms and for a time four cars
were In operation, one In each section
of the vast structure. Fifteen minutes
later three of them were withdrawn be-
cause of lack of power. The strikers
who have been paid 81 day, want al
increase of So weekly. in their wages

When their visitor had finished his
repast he remembered that he was
Patrick Driscoll of $50 York street, and
that he had roamed away from his
home early in the week. He had been
wandering about absent mindedly and
sleeping in doorways, he said.
The cops speedily got into communica-
ton with the family of the old man and
received their assurance that they would
be on the scene shortly for the purpose
of taking him home. The folks had been
away in the country, they said, and had
not returned until yesterday evening,
