BLAST IN HOSPITAL
INJURIES PHYSICIAN
AneSthetic ExpIodes While
Being Used on Patient
at Garfield
AFFAIR Is MINIMIZED

AFFAIR IS MINIMIZED

An explosion of anesthetic in an
operating room at Garfield Hospital
late yesterday created some excite
ment for few minutes, but did no
damage other than to SINCE slightly
the hair of a patient who was under
going an operation with an electric
needle and slightly injuring an at
tending surgeon.
The patient, William Desmond,
sfxty-eight years old, of Alexandria,
Va, has a Serious throat infection,
one of the most advanced treatments
for which is cauterizing process
with an electric needle. DIR. Edwin
A Merritt of Chevy Chase, one of
the best known X-ray specialists in
the country, was performing the oper-
alton with the assistance of Dr.
Frank NJ billiard of Alexandria and
DIR. Joseph b. Began of FaIkstone
Courts.
The anesthetic was nitric oxide,
one of the least dangerous of all
anesthesias- 1t is sometimes neces-
Sary to use ether, too, and small
quantity of that was attached to the
same apparatus. When the gas was
let into a small rubber mixing bag
TOO trail to permit of sufficient con-
plosion possible minute quantity
of the ether is believed to have ac-
cidentally seeped in also.
Blast Very Slight.
These two ingredients when mixed
however, are highly explosive, and as
the surgeon removed the electric
needle from his patients throat it
came in contact with the gaSSes, re-
sulting in their ignition. The explo-
sion, however, was not even suffi-
cient to harm number of glass in
strument cases a few feet away, and
none of the operating room appara-
tus was damaged in the slightest.
Mr.. DeSmond'S hair, near where
the bag rested, was Singed, but he
did not know until hours afterward
that he had been in an explosion. DR..
Merit, DR.. Began and an attending
nurse escaped altogether, and DR.. Dill
lard was struck in>the eye by a frag-
ment of the bursted bag, slightly in
juring the cornea. 1t is not believed,
however, the injury will prove seri-
Gus.
Explosions of anesthesias, doctors
declared, are not rare, although such
d fash as occurred in Garfield Hos
pital yesterday, they said, would not
be likely to happen once in mil
lion times, the premature mixture of
the ether with the nitric oxide hav-
ing probably been due to an unnotice-
able leak in one of the rubber tubes
leading to the mixture bag.
All of those who figured in the
explosion had recovered by today ex-
cept DIR. billiard, whose eye still is
under observation to make sure that
no dangerous complications arise.

Statue Is Reciprocal GIFT.

The presentation of the statue of
Gen. Jose de San Martin. the liberia
tor of Argentina, is a reciprocal ex-
preston of the good will evidenced
when America sent statue of
George Washington down to that
country about twelve years ago.
About two years ago, a national
movement to reciprocate for the gift
of the Washington statue swept the
republic of Argentina, and by popu-
lar subscription, arrangements were
made for the sculptor Dumont to copy
the great statue of the liberator,
which graces the Plaza de San Mar
tin at Buenos Aires and present it
to this country
A joint resolution recently passed
by the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives authorized the chief OF en-
gineers to allow erection of the
Fine Arts Commission, on some pub
lie grounds here, exclusive OF the
White House, the Capitol, the Con-
gressional Library and a few other
sites.
The selection of the site has not yet
been announced. Within a few
months. however, one OF the big parks
of Washington will be the location
for statue for the George Wash
ington of Argentina, just as a big
Buenos Aires park today is the loca-
ton of a statue of the San Martin
of the United States. Elaborate
ceremonies are planned under the
auspices of the Pan-AmeriCan Union
for the unwilling of the statue. De-
tails will tie announced later.
