                   Fireman, Protected by Stream
                      from Hose, Brings out
                          Charred Body
                         _______________
                         
                 New York, May 11 -- Mrs. Sarah
               Supples was burned to death at her
               home on Broome street today while
               cooking breakfast and her daughter,
               Mrs. Harry C. Perry, wife of the
               chief clerk of the municipal court,
               was severely burned in an effort to
               save her.
                 Mrs. Perry, who lives on the third
               floor, vainly tried to reach her
               mother who lived in the basement.
                 Shrieking hysterically she brushed
               past two policemen and dashed into
               the blazing kitchen only to be driven
               back by the flames, Lieutenant
               Jeremiah Flynn of Engine F, Com-
               pany 55, moved by Mrs. Perry's
               pathetic pleadings to save her
               mother, ordered the firemen to turn
               their hose on him and protected by
               showers of water, groped in the
               flaming house until he found the
               charred body, and carried it to the
               street.  He was slightly burned.
                 A bull dog, Major, a pet in the
               household whose barking gave the
               alarm was burned to death.
