Mrs. Anna Couche, AZ, of 255 West
109th street, a patient in the Rookie
reller Institute, Sixty sixth street and
Avenue A., was burned to death last
night in the oxygen chamber, on the
sixth floor of the institute building,
when a spark from an electric motor
caused fire which spread almost in
stantly to every part OF the oxygen
filed room.
Mrs. Couche was taken to the insti
tute on November II suffering from
pneumonia. and her condition became
steadily worse. She was SO near death
yesterday that the last rites of the
Roman Catholic Church were admin
istered, and late in the afternoon, as
last resort, she was taken into the
oxygen chamber.
This chamber is eight feet square,
and the ceiling is ten feet from the
floor. Patients are taken in there only
when everything else has failed to
save their lives. The room, which is
said to be the only one of its sort in
the world. is so constructed that the
oxygen in the room is 4G per cent. higher
than In the outside air. X is this extra
percentage of oxygen that often has
brought back lives that had all but
flickered out. And it was in the hope
that the oxygen might save her that
Mrs. Couche was taken there late yes
terday.
The woman, who was barely breath
ing, was stretched on narrow bed or
one side of the room. Ontthe other was
a little electric motor so contrived as
TO drive out the impure air and TO bring
In the pure. A nurse. Miss Dorothy
Pine. sat beside the closed door and
watched the unconscious woman for
whatever effects the oxygen might pro-
duce.
There was no sound except the efforts
of the patient to breathe and the whir-
ring of the motor. At about $50 o'clock
there was a slight but sharp craclsle,
and Miss Pine saw section Of the
woodwork near the motor burst Into
flames. She jumped from her chair
and screamed. and then ran TO the door
and called down the hallway to the
night supervisor. Miss Anna Dalen, who
was on the same floor.
DR.. Simon Flexner, director of the in
stitute and himself one of the leading
medical authorities, was coming up
from the floor below when he heard
the screams of the nurse. He and Miss
Dalen reached the oxygen chamber at
about the same time, but the flames.
stimulated by the oxygen, had spread
with astonishing rapidity to the woman's
bed and her clothing was in flames.
DR.. Flexner and the nurses pulled
Mrs. couche from the chamber and put
out the fire. but she was dead. Some
one had called hook and ladder COM
pany from East Sixty-seventh street.
The doctors and nurses, however. had
put out the fire with hand eXtinguishers
before the firemen arrived. Or. F1exner
said the fire probably was set by spark
from the electric motor. The chamber
has been in existence three years, and.
although many persons near death have
been taken in there, last night was the
first time there was an accident.

LABOR FEELS THE LOSS

Prohibition, the new tariff and
American shipping laws are driving
rich men to Europe for their yacht
building. The present tendency in
that direction indicates a considerable
loss to American labor and American
merchants. This is the latest develop
ment of a situation which causes
steamship men to assert that the
American merchant marine is crum-
bling under oppressive laws.

and supply dealers in this country are
wondering why such lucrative trade must
be placed with foreigners. The follow
Ing points stand out:
The dry situation undoubtedly In

yachts-that Is, yachts of American reg
ister-must sail dry according to recent
interpretations OF the law. Foreign

London. Nov. IL.
Sultan Mohammed vi. of Turkey is
on board the British battleship Malaga
bound for the British island of Malta
In the Mediterranean. The Sultan fled
from the palace in Constantinople
and placed himself under British pro-
lection this morning, following the an
nouncement yesterday that the Angora
Assembly had voted to try the Sultan
and the Ministers who remained faith
full to him on charge Of treason.
The latest action. of theNAngora Gov
ernment followed decree of Novem-
Der 3, proclaiming the end of the Sui
tanate. 1t was announced, that a new
Caliph would be elected from among
the members of the reigning family.
AS Sultan, Mohammed exercised tenn
poral power in Turkey and as Caliph
ne served as head of the Moslem
Church. The Sultan refused to recog-
nize the power of the Angora Assem-
bly, and refused to abdicate 81 Sultan
or Caliph.
When the Angora Government set UP
local government in Constantinople
IL recruited for Its own army the ma
Jority of the Sultan's guards. Since then
there have been rumors that an attempt
would be made to kidnap him and turn
him over to the Natonalists.
The action of Britain In extending its
protection to the Sultan Is regarded as
4 diplomatic coup, Of far reaching possi-
bilities because of its probable effect on
The Moslem populations of such British
possessions as India, Egypt and Meso-
potania. IT has been reported that a
certain percentage OF these did not re-
gard with favor the attitude of the
Angora Government toward the Sultan,
at least toward him In his capacity as
head of the church. BY virtue OF the
Caliphate he Is recognized as a near
sacred person and It Is probable that
any violence against him would have
been resented by the entire Moslem
world.
II is hold that his flight under Brit
ish protection VIII have reaction on
the Turkish situation and the Lausanne
conference.
