EXPLSHIN TAKES loll AFBUIVES

(Canadian Press) . CLEVELAND. Ohio, Hay 15.—(AP) -Sixty-six persons were killed in the explosion and fire at the Cleveland Clinic Hospital today. police said, an hour after the fire started. A ter- rific double explosion and devastat- ing fire hit the hospital shortly after noon. The victims included patients of the hospital. nurses and doctors. More than 100 persons were in the building when the explosions occur- red in the X-ray room. Fire broke out immediately. ‘Twenty six persons were known to be dead from the blast fire and pots- on gases that broke out from the chemical laboratories. These bodies were in several Cleveland hospitals, morgues, and a few were covered with blankets and lying on the ground near the hospital. CLEVELAND. Ohio, May 15r—C8P- tain of Demctives Emmet Potts at 1.38 p. m. estimated 91 dead in the explosion in the clinic hospital. Identity of the powerful gas which wrought one of the worst tra- gedies in the history of city had not been determined tonight. Pharmac- ists said it was bromine gas but. doc- tors believed it to be a form of nitric gas.

It is probable. however, it was a mixture of gases coming from many forms of chemicals in the bilildiffl. In addition the burning films gave off a gas said to be bromine.

The first explosion occurred in the basement. On the floors above. walt- ing rooms were crowded with clini- cal patients. Many of them died where they sat, some in wheelchairs unable to move as the deadly fumes rapidly penetrated to floors the hol- low centre of the building first was filled with gasses. The intense heat below sent the fumes swirling up- svards. Before any one had opportun- ity to escape. a second blast blew out the skylight and filled the entire building with the deadly fumes.

Occupants had no way of escape but the windows. and few were able to reach them. These were envelop- ed in the fumes which hung about the building nnd they collapsed.

The two street entrances were checked and the stairway leading to the roof were heavy with the fumes. Flvcry piPCC of fire apparatus avail- able was centred at the cliilic and every vehicle possible was command- eered to remove the bodies.

In describing the rescue of the man who was named Guinness the foreman of the exhibition, an eye witness, said thatthe thing hop. pened in a flash. Guinness was sitting on a ladder Bdlustlng s. machine for the manu- _ facture of tin containers which the , Prince was examining when one of the tins caught in a carriage. Guin- ness in snatching at t-he tin to save breakage slipped off the ladder and. hung with his feet within a. few 1n- ches of the machinery rotating at great speed. "The Prince caught Czlinness‘ ov. eralls and pulled him toward the ladder." said the foreman. "The ov_ eralls slipped from the Prince's hand and Guinness who was still clinging to all overhead gear swung back to his dangerous position. The Prince then seized him the second time and succeeded ln pulling him back cl,“ of the machinery. He would havd lost his legs had he dropped." "ii
