/6- ann St prs ern Ee and {9 the daughter of Charles OPIUM DIVES FOUND CLOSE T0 PICTURE SHOMS One Den on Floor Above Hall Where Moving Films Are Exhibited. MANY LAWS IGNORED. Improper Exits and Danger- ‘ous Quarters Discovered by Mayor’s Search. Moving picture ehows adjacent to wihch opium dens are alleged to be fm full blast, were called to the atten- tion of Mayor McClellan to-day, Evi- @ence brought to the Mayor shows that these oplum dens are located in the game bulldings, several of which dives being directly over the halls In which the pictura shows are given. A notable Instance of this condition was found at No. 8 Bowery, a resort kept by Max Schminkivitz, An opium Gen occupied by several Chinamen and @ number of white women, all stuffied by the fumes of opium, was found by the Mayor's investigators. Only a thin ‘wooden flooring and celling separated the apartment from the moving picture show below. Stored on the same floor ‘was a great quantity of films, the com- Dustible character of which, {t 4s claimed, endangered every occupant In the house. The bullding itself is @ Tamshackle structure and the exists from the picture hall are declared totally inadequate. Other Cases Similar. ‘This case and others of recent dis- eovery are to form part of the anewer of the Mayor's counsel in the argument before Supreme Court Justice Platzek to determine the Mayor's power to aum- marily revoke licenses. Many of the picture shows Invest!- @ated are found to be inadequately pro- vided with exits, or established In tene- ments, in violation of the law. ‘Ghief Frank V. 8. Oliver, of the Bureau of Licenses, has personally in- vestigated, and his reports appear in the answering papers. At No. 7 Bow- ery, he found a lodgin-house on the floors above the picture hall. In addi- tion, he reports that the only exits from the ghow place, which 1s owned by @ man named Morris Sturman, leads to @ barroom. At No. 129 East Houston street, his re- port declares, the moving-picture ) fs on the ground floor of an old-fash- foned tenement. One family living in rooms overhead contains fourteen chil- dren; another nine children, The exits Jead into an unlighted yard surrounded Dy a tall fence. A hole in the fence af- fords egress to the yard of the next tenement, where a long, dark, narrow hallway must b etravelled before the street Is reached. At No, 1068 Third avenue, a candy fac- tory, was found in the basement under the show hall. The exits are bad and Jead Into an inclosed yard, from which Ro escape except by mounting the fence oan be had. Many Exits Improper. Other places inspected proved that the pleture booths, which contain the in- flammable films, are near the middle | be: ocupied by the spectators, with exits that led to blind alleys. Exits in another place opened into a restaurant, crowded with chairs and tables, while in another place the rear exits led to a stairway and to an upper hallway, run- ning to the front and directly above the | moving-picture place In Samuel Welsenberg’s place, No. | 62 Btanton street, a sweatshop, where scores of men and women were labor- ing, was found. The Fire Department | had already recommended that the walls and celling of this show room be lined with sheet fron. In the centre Of the picture hall is an exposed stove. “The Fire Commissioner has ordered eaptains to inspect every moving plc- ture show in their district and report to the License Bureau each week,” sald Chief Aliver to-day. “This ts going to Have a good effect. We have found Ughts indicating exits where no exits existed, and other avenues of escape \n the event of fire we have found clogged with old lumber or rubbish “This condition of affairs 1s a con- stant menace, and before a catastrophe occurs the Mayor {s determined that changes for safety be made and the Jaw observed in every instance.” —_——>_—_—_. FIREMEN SAVE LIVES AT OFFICE BUILDING BLAZE. Shannon Building, Norwich, Conn., | Destroyed and Other Structures | Damaged—Loss $300,000. NORWICH, Conn, Feb. §.—Fire early to-day destroyed the Shannon Building | at Shetucket and Main streets, contain: | Ing offices, living apartments and stores, | and burned the upper stories of the| Chelsea Rank Bullding on the south, and the Reld & Hughes store on the | east. A small one-story structure, the Plaut & Caddeh Building, standing be- | tween the Reld & Hughes Building and | the Shannon Block, and occupled by the former was also burned. Many of the | occupants of the Shannon Block had narrow escapes, some of them having to be carried down the ladders by the fire- men. On the upper floors of the Shannon Dlock were forty offices and apartments, and the rescue of many of the occupants | was attended with spectacular features Prof, Lowth was taken from a window | of his room on the third floor, Dr. | Loulse Niner was found asleep in her | room, was awakened and taken down ladder to the street. Others were rei cued in the same manner, and others got out unaided. Scarcity of water hampered the fire- men. The total loss is estimated at $300,000.
