MAN DIES OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK DURING X-RAY
Fatal Burn Below Heart
When Machine Emits Flame.

Casimir Zig of 800 North Sixth street,
Newark. N. j.. suffered an electrical
shock yesterday which resulted in his
death while he was on an x-ray table
in the Office of DIR. Charles f. Baker. 1913
Clinton avenue, Newark. Zig received
burn below his heart when tho X-ray
machine emitted spark. -
According to Ernest Hurd, who op-
Grated the X-ray machine, there was
only a small amount OF current. He de-
clared it was the first case that he could
recall where a patient had died while
being X-rayed. The accident occurred
after seven pictures had been taken. The
machine snapped when the power was
started for the eighth time and the tech
nician Immediately stopped the machine,
1t Is reported. Zig was wearing a
sweater. and on this just below the
heart was a burn. A pulmotor, used for
nearly an hour, failed to revive him.
Those attending Zig declare he had
been warned not to move his body while
the X-rays were being taken, but they
believe he disobeyed the instructions. 1t
was stated that there was only one por-
ton of the machine that might emit a
spark, and that normally this would be
about six inches above the body.

3 DAYS IN BELLEVUE
Treated for Injuries on Day
Waters Was Killed in
Hotel.

The homicide squad of the Police De-
partment, which is investigating the cir
cumstances surrounding the murder OF
Leeds Vaughan Waters, New York club
man. learned yesterday that a man ap-
peared at the receiving Office of the
Bellevue Hospital on the morning Of the
murder to be treated for severe con-
tusions of both thighs and other in
turies. According to DIR. Alexander
Timm. on duty at the time, the man
wore no underclothing. Examination OF
the room in the Plymouth Hotel occu-
pied by Waters and his unidentified
companion. following the murder, re-
vealed a suit of underwear marked with
the initials wv II. A.
DR.. Timm said the patient told him he
received the injuries when something
heavy fell on him. The man, according
to the Bellevue physician was unwilling
to remain at the hospital after treat
ment, but finally consented and remained
there three days, when he left against
the advice of the hospital physicians
DR.. Timm says he believes the man came
by his injuries while he was partly or
wholly undressed.

9TH AYE. HOSPITAL
FUND S1,85O,OOO
Campaign for $3,000,0OO
Closes Wednesday, Com
mittee Announces.
OCCUPANCY NEXT JULY
New Institution Designed for
Care Of Patients From
Middle Glasses

More than half of the 100000 fund
to- construct the new Fifth Avenue Hos
pital has been raised 1t was announced
yesterday at the office of the campaign
executive committee. the contributions
to date amount to $1.S30.0oO. The cam
paign for funds will close next Wednes-
day.
The new structure will be one OF the
best of It's kind In the world when COM
pleted The Fifth Avenue Hospital is a
consolidation OF the Hahnenann Hospi-
tai and the Laura Franklin Free Hospi-
tai for Children. 1t will have an entire
block front facing Central Park on Fifth
avenue between 105th and l06th streets
1t will be nine stories high and will have
approximately 325 rooms. all of which.
due to the original 'X"' shaped plan OF
the structure, will be outside rooms
Every room will be private, open to the
light and air and the old ward system
eliminated.
DIR. Wiley F. Woodbury.. who will be
director of the hospital. was in charge
of Government hospitals at Manila and
later at Camp Upton. He believes that
every sick person should have a room to
himself. his theory being that complete
contentment Of mind from such privacy
Is one OF the best ways to start the pa
tient on the road to recovery. Danger OF
infection and contagion is eliminated by
the single room system, he holds.
One floor Will be given over to chill
dren's cases, and there the partitions
between rooms will be of plate glass
This will enable the patient to see a
child in the next room and thus ward off
loneliness.
One floor will be given over to ma
ternity cases The social service depart
ment Of the hospital will be an effective
aid in assuring prospective mother that
she need have no worries concerning
other children at home. If necessary. a
representative of the social service de-
partment will take personal charge o.
the children until the patient is well
enough to return to them.
No nurse of fewer than two years ex
perlence will be permitted to attend a
patient at the bedside in the new hos
pital, plan which will insure competent
ministra ton to every patient
The new Fifth Avenue Hospital is de-
signed to provide accommodations in
particular for the middle classes. The
hospital trustees have said that the
hospital problem has been solved for the
extremely poor and also for the well to
do. One of the principal aims of the new
hospital is to provide for the in-between
class, who should have excellent hospi-
tai service at whatever nominal fee they
feel comfortably able to pay.
The hospital is now under construc-
ton and will be ready for occupancy in
July. Hospital trustees and members Of
the campaign committee include the
names of mensprominent In the financial.
philanthropic and social service work OF
the city.

IF the American Federation of Labor
Is raising s2o.Ooo.0Oo to fight the adoption
of the open shop throughout the coun-
try then 1t stands self-convicted OF
sponsoring and perpetuating the very
system that the Lockwood Investigate
ing committee Is revealing every day
it is sitting. How long will the Ameri-
can public stand for THAR"
j. Philip Bird, general manager of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
made that charge yesterday In discuss
ing the assertions made by leaders of
the American Federation OF Labor
that employers are engaged In a con-
spiracy to put the country on an open
shop basis and reduce wages, and the
published opinion Of Ernest Bohm, cor
responding secretary of the Central
Federated Union of New York. that
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor would ask the
100000 union members for a defence

Bird continued. is to raise 500 O00, 0Oc
to fight what 1t terms a conspiracy, /
should just like to ask where the fed
Grafton is going to spend SIC. 600 900; just
where will be the conspiracy then?
II am inclined to believe that the
story OF the $40. 900 that the fedora
ton is supposed to have to deliver them
selves out Of the open shop crusades
that are being publicly waged all over
the country and that are sweeping the
country from one end to the other has
just about as much basis in fact as
Mr.. Gompers's declarations before the
election that he would deliver the labor
vote. bag and baggage, to Mr.. Cox and
the Democratic party.
"Nation Wants Open Shop"
There is no reason for the American
Federation of Labor to raise $40, 00o.-
600 to fight the open shop. II the
American public did not want the open
shop and fair dealings In all the indus
tries of the country. then popular ap-
prevail Of the attitude of the federation
would make 1t absolutely unnecessary
for the federation to spend a cent The
open shop would not be approved by
States. cities and municipalities unless
it was a fair and open proposal When
a great industrial city like Indianapolis
and hundreds of other cities adopt the
open shop principle then there certainly
must be some good. substantial worth
in the principle of the open shop.
IF 1t takes s20.000.000 to prevent a
man from earning lawful living In a
lawful way 1t Is about time the Ameri-
can public was made aware of this
fact"
BY all the agencies which are spread

of Commerce of the United States. the
