View original in TimesMachine, Few persons have any idea of the immense quantity of Croton which runs to waste. Calculated roughly, the volume of water which finds its way to New-York daily through the Croton Aqueduct and is distributed by mains through the length and breadth of this City amounts in the aggregate to 95,000,000 gallons. This, if collected in one mass...
Shook & Everard, the Washington-street brewers, have five of these driven wells 20 feet apart, connecting with a single main and pump, which furnishes water for their ale. The Russian baths in Lafayette-place are also supplied with this description of water, which is harder than Croton, and contains less sediment.

The old Horticultural Hall on the south side of Twenty-eighth Street, two doors west of Broadway, was fitted up by Everard, the brewer, as a music hall and opened June 8, 1886, by James Meade and John Cannon, who called it "THE REGENT." It was closed by the authorities [ ] 1886, and reopened

afterwards. The next manager was Wallace Williams, who called it "THE FIFTH AVENUE MUSIC HALL" but it lasted only a short time. James Everard then fitted it up as a
Turkish bath, and opened it May 7, 1888, with James W. Collier, the actor, as manager.

Ehret's wealth is estimated at between $15,000,000 and $18,000,000. He holds more mortgages than any man in the city, and he is the owner of vast blocks of real estate. A dozen German brewers, busied in piling up immense fortunes, are trailing in his wake. Jacob Ruppert, John Eichler, Monroe Eckstein, George Bechtel, the Kuntz Brothers, and Peter Doelger's Sons are among them. Each of these is a millionaire, and three at least are worth $5,000,000 apiece. For years the lager-beer field was left entirely to .the Germans. Now, however, the Americans are coming to the front. They are credited with making better beer and with better business methods. David G. Yuengling and W. R. Abbott have almost a national reputation as brewers, but the man who is ascending the ladder most rapidly seems to be James Everard. Either by merit or through shrewd business manipulation he has run his brewing into fashionable popularity which is sending him up towards George Ehret in point of wealth. Everard owns half a dozen breweries. He turns out 100,000 kegs of beer a month. Shed Shook is a silent partner in one of these breweries. He is so silent and confiding that he never visited the establishment but once. Then he walked into the counting-room, looked at a huge wart on the bookkeeper's neck, said "Hagh!" lighted a cigar and disappeared. As he is drawing $80,000 a year profit from the business he can well afford to amuse himself with poker and politics. The gigantic fortunes made in breweries within the past twenty years more than dwarf those of earlier years. Forty years ago New York's favorite brewer was old Charley Wardlow. He kept a little beer saloon in Frankfort street, patronized by sailors, printers and the elite of Wall street. He was an Englishmen who brewed bis own ale. His brewery was a little shanty on the outskirts of Brooklyn. Once a month he closed his Frankfort-street alehouse and shut himself in the Brooklyn cabin until a brewing was completed. A few old merchants smack their lips even at this late date when the virtues of Charley's ale are discussed. When the old brewer had made $150,000, he sold out his little saloon and returned to England, where he died soon afterward. He left his fortune to a son and a daughter, who married an American. The pair came back here and went into business in San Francisco. There her share of Wardlow's fortune was increased until it reached nearly a million dollars. It was afterward lost in one of the mining crazes that so often devastate the Pacific Coast.

James Everard's Russian and Turkish bath house at 28 and 30 West Twenty-eighth street, just completed, was thrown open to public inspection last evening, and the rooms were thronged. The establishment is claimed by the proprietor to be superior to any Russian or Turkish bath in the world. The visitor passes through a side room, where there is a buffet, to the main room. It is two stories high, with a gallery around it on all sides. Around the sides of the main room are private dressing rooms, and around the gallery above are sleeping rooms. In the centre of the main room is a skylight surrounded by a railing. The skylight is exactly over a tank which is in the Turkish bath room, and which is the pride of the establishment. The tank is 50 feet long and 20 feet wide, and it has a depth of from 4 to 6 feet. An artesian well supplies it constantly with 65,000 gallons of water at a temperature of 60 degrees.

In the rear of the Turkish bath room is the Russian bath room of marble. In the centre of the room is a plunge bath holding 20,000 gallons. On each side of the hall between the Turkish and the Russian baths, is a needle bath. A young man in a dress suit attempted to show a young lady last evening the working of the valves by turning them one after another. The young man unfortunately turned a valve which directed a stream on himself, and before he could escape he was wet to the skin from the knees down.

The manager is Mr. James W. Collier, well known as an actor and theatrical manager, and formerly of Shook & Collier of the Union Square Theatre.

Pansy Places on Broadway,

Reports are around that Broadway during the new season will have nite places with "pansies" as the prime draw.

Paris and Berlin have similar night resorts, with the queers attracting the lays. The latter are mostly transients in those cities.

Greenwich Village in New York had a number of the funny spots when the Village was a phoney night sight seeing collection of joints. The Village spots died away, as only the queers eventually remained the customers and they were broke.

The nite club operators may ignore, the draw of the Abbey, although aware it is about the single live night life place left of Times Square and running all night.

Two were shot and killed and $15,600 in cash was stolen yesterday in one of the quickest and most daring daylight hold-ups staged in this city to many months.

At Police headquarters, detectives reported that the fingerprints of "Kramer" corresponded with those of Lipschitz, 26 years old, whose police record goes back to 1916 when he was 19 years old. The detectives said that Lipschitz's "hangout" was in Second Avenue, between Third Street and Fifth Street, and that he was a former "pal" of "Kid Dropper," who was killed a few weeks ago, and of the notorious "Johnny Spanish."

The first criminal entry against Lipschitz was early in 1916 when he was arrested on a charge of picking pockets. He then gave his address as 89 Madison Street, but the last known address for him was the Everard Baths, in West Twenty-eighth Street, near Broadway. View original in TimesMachine

WASHINGTON, April 25. -- Inquiry at the White House today for comment from President Coolidge on the death of Charles F. Murphy brought the statement that Mr. Coolidge had not been acquainted personally with Mr. Murphy, but that he had regarded the Tammany leader as a man with a good deal of force of character who had impressed himself on a great city and exerted great influence on that city.

The late James Everard, the brewer, gave Charles F. Murphy his first big start in politics by getting the assent of Richard Croker, then leader of Tammany, to his selection as leader of the old Eighteenth Assembly District in 1892. The story of the incident was told last evening to a reporter for The New York Times by David M.

June 17, 1964, NYT, Bathhouse Blaze Kills 2, Injures 4,
Two men were found dead yesterday morning amid charred timbers and still­ smoldering mattresses after a fire swept a bathhouse on the Lower East Side.

Above the men, at ceiling level, were the newly installed pipes of a sprinkler system that might have saved them from death in their rented cots. But the system was not fully in­stalled and would not have been in operation until Thursday at the earliest.

Four other men were taken to Bellevue Hospital for treat­ment and at least 10 others were rescued. Firemen used a ladder to save a man clinging to a windowsill by his fingers two floors above the pavement.

The fire began in the cen­tury‐old Gordon's Bath at 24 First Avenue, just off Second Street, at about 9 A.M. Most of the 45 regulars and transients had left for the day, but about 15 were still in the dormitories. that form the top three floors of the four‐story structure.

The fire raced through the wooden interior. Smoke and the heat were so intense that the men could not get down the narrow wooden stairways, the only exit. They gathered at the frosted glass windows.

Clerks from stores ran across First Avenue and shouted at the desperate men not to jump. Fire engines approached and a crowd of about 200 gathered. Two men crawled out of second­-story windows.

Man Clings to Sill

One clung by his fingers to the sill until firemen came with a ladder. The other worked his way along the two‐inch wide top of the bathhouse sign to the fire escape of the Ortiz Funeral Home next door and came down.

At the rear, a man in under­wear crawled out onto an ad­joining roof and made his way to the street by a fire escape. The other men stood in top­floor windows, shouting. Fire­men brought them down on ladders. The alarm was sounded at 9:22 A.M.; the fire was out at 9:45.

One of the dead men was identified as James Morris Mas­tes, 70 years old, a resident of the dormitory. The other, de­scribed as an elderly “newsboy who just used to come in and didn't give his name," had not been identified by last night.

Leon Muhnueig, 74, and Leon Rosdahl, 57, both dormitory residents, were hospitalized, as were Isidore Melnick, 60, of 102-40 62d Avenue, Forest Hills, Queens, and Joseph Dubinsky, 67, of 97 East Seventh Street, both bath customers. They suf­fered smoke inhalation and minor burns.

Gordon's Baths is a brick building painted milky pink and orange. To the left are three vacant stores.

Fire‐red doors lead into a white tile hall and a stairway with a brass rail running up one side — almost exactly duplicating the style of the en­trances in the flophouses on the Bowery two blocks west.

At the top of the short stair­way is a cashier's cage of heavy iron grillwork. Dormitory cots rent for $1.80 a night or $10 a week, mostly to truck drivers, dock workers and drifters.
