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.

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.
