First aid treatment given by firemen of Engine Co No. 6 and Dr. H. K. Butler, of 1241 Pennsylvania avenue southeast and the hurried application of pulmotor by members of the Fire Department Rescue Squad probably saved the lives of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Bee, of 620 North Colinia avenue southeast, who were both overcome by gas in their room yesterday afternoon.
The couple were carried to the front lawn, where the pulmotor treatment were given. They were later moved to Casualty Hospital.
The firemen were called when other occupants of the house detected the order of gas and traced it to theorem on third floor of the house occupied by the couple. The door was forced and firemen, directed by acting Sergt. F. E. Barber, carried the couple, who were both unconscious, from the bed to the front lawn, where treatments were given. Casualty Hospital Physicians administered further treatment, but were unable to determine the condition of either of the patients last night.
