I'd tali lies.
Two brothers who went swimming
yesterday afternoon In the Hudson
Itlver off Inwood were drowned In the
Night of many persons and In the midst
of a number of small craft whose occu
pants made no attempt to help them.
They were Harry l.ubowltz. 13 ycarB
old, and William Luhowltz. 19 years old,
both of 1706 Washington avenue.
William was not a strong swimmer
and when he had ventured out about
fifty feet he began to shout for help.
Harry went to his aid nnd tried to draw
him to the shore, but the exertion
proved too much for him and tho two
men were soon clasped together, strug
gling nnd crying for help.
Within fifteen feet of them were two
canoes, each containing two men, who
gazed helplessly at the drowning men
and made no attempt to reach them
Men on tho hanks run up und down
shouting or stood and watched. Not
a rope nor a plank was found to throw
them, and while all were hesitating the
brothers went down. Their bodies
were recovered.
Alfred nnd William Jaciues went for
an outing yesterday to Manhattan
Hcach with their sister, Marie. The
boys arc II and 12 years old und
Marie Is 18. Their father. James
Jacques, who lives at 1363 Fulton
street, Brooklyn. Is employed on the
Brooklyn Bridge.
The three children had their luncheon
on the beach, then the boys went wad
ing. Marie waited for more than un
hour und her borthers did not return.
The Sheepshead Bap police were notified
and a general search was begun. It Is
believed the boys fell Into a hole and
were drowned.
A holiday crowd which was watching
some swimming stunts In the Hudson
Klvcr from the recreation pier at the
foot of Fiftieth street In the afternoon
was shocked when an unidentified red
haired man, who had Just dived off the
pier at the foot of Fortieth street, came
to the surface shouting for help.
With the aid of a rope thrown by Po
liceman Henry Mlhr, Henry llaffe
managed to get the man ashore. An
ambulance surgeon suld that ho was
dead. In the man's pocket was found
a pawnticket for a razor made out to
"Walsh."
Charles Wlechman, IK years old, of
273 Hutledge street. Brooklyn, was
drowned In tho morning while bathing
In Lake Honkonkoma, L. 1. Wlech
man was unable to swim. His body
was not recovered until late In the
afternoon.
Several hundred persons walking
along the boardwalk at Clason Point
late in the afternoon witnessed the
rescue of a young man by Sergeant
Joe Grlffenstcln of the Volunteer Lite
Saving Corps. He swum nearly u hun
dred feet with an unconscious swimmer
on his shoulder. Corstar Toppus, L'O
years old, of 206 ICast 240th street, was
the man rescued. He was swimming
nlone when folks on shorn heard him
cry for help, Grlffensteln ran out to
the end of the dock und dived In. He
sel7.nl him and made his wuy to the
shore. Artificial respiration was re.
sorted to, ufter which Toppus was
taken home by friends.
Tho catboat John T. of the Diamond
Point Yacht Club capsized off Belle
Harbor In the ufternoon, throwing four
people In the water. Two of the party
described themselves us John Smith of
Grand tdrcct, Brooklyn, nnd John
N'lxon, f.O Montague street, Brooklyn.
As the lulter address Is u warehouse,
It is thought that both nanus ule fic
titious. The other men refused to glvo
their names or to say where they lived.

first Street.
INDIVIDUAL PAILS ALSO
Water Troughs in Front of
Saloons Are Profitable,
Say Proprietors.
'el haps you have seen n sign Ht
Hroadway and Thirty-first street which
says, "Free shower baths for horses
only." There are three of these signs,
each fastened to the piece of transverse
pipe.
"I like n shower bnth myrelf when
I'm through work," said the man who
J fixed up those shower baths, "and I
I supposed the horses might feel the
j Mime way about It."
Now that horses which are accus
tomed to pulling loads up and down
Hroadway are used to It they come
back for n shower day after day. The
Bureau of Municipal Research, which
has Just put out a bulletin on the care
of watering troughs, vouches for It.
The man who figured out that a horse
might like a shower as much as himself
nnd who furnished the three at Hroad
way und Thirty-first street Is William
J, Gane,
"The way I came to think of It was
easy enough," said Gane yesterday.
"A horse fell down across the street
one afternoon last June, and It looked
as though he was going to die. They
sent for a policeman to shoot the poor
beast, but some of my men happened
to be using n hose out In front here
and I had them pour water over the
horse's head and back for half an hour.
Tho policeman didn't have, anything to
do, for the horse scrambled to his feet
and went on.
"The next day I got some sheet Iron
troughs, put them out In the itreet
and connected them up with hose lines
to my building. The horses liked It.
Then one night I thought of the shower
baths, for I tnlto one myself night and
morning.
"At first the horses are frightened
when the water comes down on their
backs, but now they keep coming every
day for more,"
In connection with the showers there
are palls from which tho horses can
drink and hose lines so that their
mouths can bo washed out. The Bureau
of Municipal Research, quoting Dr.
Lederle of tho Health Department and
Secretary Morton of the A. S. P. C. A.,
says these Individual drinking bucketH
are the safest things for horses Just
as individual drinking cups are essen
tials nowadays for men nnd women.
As for the common drinking trough
It Is Just ns bad as the common drinking
cup, says Dr. Lederle. The bureau'a
report says;
Writing for the Health Department
Commissioner Lederlo goes .urther nnd
suggests that "the department should
forbid the further erection of watering
troughs of any description and that In
future their placo should be supplied
by draw hydrants, preferably uso
lated In summer with the shower bath
nnd cared for by an attendant." This
means that live wooden troughs and
142 other troughs (particularly thoso
whose rovers servo chlctly for hiding
dirt and garbage and prevent effective
cleaning) should be discontinued and
removed.
in this extreme position the veteri
narians und the stable superintendents
whom we huve ronsulted agree with
Commissioner Lederle. So does William
K. Horton, secretary of the A. H. V
C. A.
At present nobody has the duty of
caring for filthy or broken city water
ing troughs. Tho Water Department
does It when somebody tells about bad
conditions, but thero Is no systematic
I way of I'.eeplntr them in shape, as for
instance tne A. o. I'. C. A. I:eeps Ita
troughs In order.
LIVE TOPICS ABOUT TOWN.
A certain beggar, who evidently believes
that originality pays, may be seen almost
every afternoon walking along Thirty
fourth street tapping the pavement with
his cano and calling out " I'm not blind!
I'm not blind!" But judging from thn
contents of his cup he excites a good deal
moro curiosity than symapthy.
The Sun's story of the coming changes
in the sailors' uniforms reminds me,"
said the amateur historian, "of tho reasons
for the old uniform, which hud reasons
indoed for each integral part . 1 he Ameri
can uniform was copied with fow changes
from the English wear for sailors.
"The flat topped hats are relics of the
days when sailormen had to go skipping
to the tops with ropes. Bo that they could
use both hands in climbing tho hats were
flattened and tho ropes wero colled and
carried on top. Tho broad collars wero
worn because, of the pomatum on the
pigtails which used to be worn; tho collars
kept blouses clean. Tho black band
around the hat was a sign of mourning
for the death, of Lord Nelson and the
three stripes on tho collar were reminders
of Nelson's three greatest (victories
Cape Ht. Vincent, Trafalgar and Copen
hagen. "The wide trousers were made that
way so that sailors slushing the decks
could pull them up abovo the kneo without
having to roll them."
The way modern restaurants keep
abreast with the times is Bhown by a large
Harlem cafe, where thn latest cocktail
has been entitled "Jack Kose."
"It Is just like a clover club with a lit
tle vermouth in it," the waiter explained,
"but it'a something now. People comtj
in and they don't know just what they'
want, so they take a Jack Hose just out
of curiosity. No, they aro not bald, they
will never mako you confess and they
only levy !0 cents on you."
John Bmlth passed along the Whltn
Way in his gray limousine with a Texas
license tag at the back. The only thing
he saw to comment on was the big sign
on tho McAlpin Hotel which read:
: 1,500 nOOMH I
WITH COMMUNICATING BATHS. ;
He said he wouldn't stay at a bote I
whero the whole town would know what
went on when you took a bath.
"Half the fun of a moving picture show
is in figuring out what "the actors are
saying," said a consistent patron of the
movies, "and I hope that they never get
the pictures so perfected that they talk.
" It is a pleasant exercise for the imagina
tion to invent the dlaloguo as the action
In tho picture goes on, and everybody In
the audienon can think out a different
speech for the hero, each one according
to hit education and taste, and so every
body is suited with what is said, which
wouldn't be the case if the pictures had
a phonographic attachment.
The thoughtful mat or woman who
inquires will bo surprised to learn how
few magazines in this big city of 'New
York find their way to the wards of tho
city's hospitals. One woman, who re
cently sent a package to a nurse in a
crippled children's ward In a hospital right
in tho heart of the city was surprised as
well as touched by the nurse's almost
tearful gratitude.
The babies looked at all tho pictures.
The nurses read and reread everything
especially some gay fashion journals put
in with a hope that some little girl might
find an hour's solace " playing paper
dolls." The patients in the adult wards
had their turn next, and then the young
resident doctors welcomed what was
left. Inquiry proved tliat in almost
every hospital in New York the demand
for magazines Is far beyond the supply.
