how he was, and how he was feel
ing. So I phoned him, and he said
Come right on down." He is right
across the street from that WON
derful Empire Building, in corn
er suit overlooking it.
This building belongs to Jesse
Jones a mighty well known Demo-
crat, he is the fellow that bought
the Democrat Convention for
Houston, Tex. He owns these build
ings all over the country and
rents EN- mostly to Republicans.
Well AL never looked better in
his life, and have known and been
seeing him around New York for
many years. He started in of
course by showing me the 80 story
building, out of the window that
gave us the best view of it. It did
look wonderful. Its got some sort
of outside structural steel work that
looks like Illinum, and in the sun
it just glistens. Then he started
in showing me old pictures on the
wall of his office that showed early
scenes in New York. He showed
some of the old houses on the low
er east side where he lived, one
under the very shade of Brooklyn
Bridge. Then the old home in Oil
yer Street. He is without doubt
the most sentimental prominent
man I ever met. He glories in the
past. He had one picture that show
ed the old theatrical team of Har-
rigan and Hart, who made their
great fame in the "Mulligan
Guards" It was in a large frame
with dozens of the old time favor
tiles, including the old theatres that
they played in. He would hum to
you the tunes of those old favorites.
I don't care whether you agree
with him politically or not, the per-
son don't live that could meet him
and be with him awhile that
wouldent go away not liking him.
I had just come from the White
House day or so before and was
telling him about how Mr.. Hoover
was worked up over this relief
business. Well Sir bet Mr.. Hoov-
er has not even among his own
party a single man that has as
much sympathy and good feeling
for him than AL Smith. There was
no put on about it, he really meant
it when he would talk of the many
things that had seemed to go
wrong through no fault of the
Presidents, yet he had to bear the
brunt of them.
Here was a man that had been
in office long enough to know what
you can be blamed for. No Sir
Hoovers best booster is Al Smith,
and he had just been working with
Ex-President Coolidge on Com
mittee to give away an Estate that
had been left to Charity, and he
had the highest praise for Coolidge
too, and he says, as have always
maintained, that Mr.. Coolidge has
great sense Of humor, and he
would tell some of it that hap
pened during their deliberations.
We went over to the Democratic
Club for lunch, and he got to tell

STORM HITS THE
 STREETS OF CITY THE WORST BLOW
But It Helps the Jobless and Hundreds of Men Were Out in Force To-day They Are Doing Great Work

Trolley, auto and foot travel was greatly impeded in Waterbury to- day as the city continued in the grip of the snow and sleet storm which struck here late Saturday and has remained in force ever since. On the other hand the telephone, tele- graph and light and power com- panies reported no damage from the storm, their wires having withstood the attack of the elements so far with excellent success.
 Approximately 600 men were on the job bright and early this morn- ing under the direction of Superin- tendent of Streets Thomas J. Flem- ing clearing the main streets of the snow. Several blows, a fleet of trucks and the municipality's auto matic snow loader were swung into action, also, with the result that to- wards noon the central part of the city began to take on shape once more.
 Throughout the night the Con- necticut company kept blows and workmen busy on the tracks, clear ing away the snow and keeping switches from freezing. The resui, of these labors was that the trolleys were maintaining their schedule this morning with little or no delays reported.

INVADE THE
 OFFICE OF
 GOVERNOR
Crowd of Communists Push Their Way Into His Pres ence and Try to Force. Him to Present Their Bills for Action

Hartford. Conn, Feb 10.-UP)- Between 150 and 200 communists forced their way into Governor Will bur l.. Cross private office at the capitol to-day and demanded imme- diate enactment of a $10.000,000 un- employment dole bill and other re- lief legislation.
 The governor parried their de- mands that he commit himself on a definite program and sent them away in orderly fashion. He met the vehement demands of William Sneiderman of New Haven, commun- ist spokesman, with non-commital courtesy.
 The communists swarmed into the executive office suite without warn- ing and were in such numbers that office attaches were unable to bar the open door leading to Governor Cross office.
 Sneiderman stepped to the fore and outlined the communist de- mands.
 He asked the governor to present special measure to the general as- senbly at once calling for appro- priation of $10,000.00O to be paid out in $10-week doles to unemploy- ed. He demanded also that the schools serve free milk and lunches to children and that the state enact

Hartford. Conn, Feb 1O-(U. P.)
