Deadly Gas Slowly
Eating COrpuscles
Of Blast Survivors

authorities advanced a theory that
some one, might have been burning
rubbish in the furnace, 10 feet from
the vault containing the highly in
flammablc films and a spark might
have been blown through the open
door.
The most frequently advanced idea
is that crossed wires on the X-ray
apparatus provided the damaging
spark.
Secret Holder Dying
The man who perhaps holds the
secret to the whole affair was in q
critical condition today and may
take the solution to the grave with
him. DR.. Jack II. Swafford, X-ray
room physician, was said to have
leaped from a window of the X-ray
room and was found sitting on an
automobile running board in a dazed
condition after the blast. He was
not permitted to sec visitors today.
At the time Of the explosion a NOV
ing van was taking his belongings
from his residence to another part of
the city and his family could not be
located.
Physicians at the hospitals where
those who escaped yesterday were
under treatment said there was little
hope for them. The gas had at

The victims were compared to the

inroads Of the poison for q few days
and then fell over dead.

Others were firemen and policemen

yellow smoke to remove the bodies.
Some were volunteers who had
worked feverishly with them. Physt-
clans said most Of them had but little
chance for their lives.
The impossibility Of nourishing the

cases. the physicians declared. Adj
ministration Of oxygen and blood
transfusions already have failed IN

Such q case was that Of DR.. John

used but he collapsed after walking
some distance to his home iron, the
clinic. This recourse having failed,

'WHEATPR]CES DROP
CROP OUTLOOK GOOD
Frosts Prove lnconsequsntial
While Reports Of Better
Prospects Are Heard

Chicago, May l6.-Nl-Selling of
wheat against purchases Of corr had
q good deal to do today with sending
wheat prices lower and giving firm
hess to the corn market. Official re-
ports showed that corn planting In
Iowa Is eight days late and in
Kansas two to four weeks behind.
Meanwhile, favorable weather for
domestic winter wheat YVES reported,
especially In the southwest, and
spring wheat seeding was announced
as having been practically COM
plcted both in the United States and
in Canada.

And provisions unchanged TO a set

Fizzling out Of apprehension as to
frost damage to wheat in Kansas and
Nebraska was emphasized today by
dispatches telling Of suspicious crop
conditions.
Export demand overnight for North
American wheat appeared to have
corne to something of a halt. Advices
here indicated that holders of domes-
tic wheat were refusing to meet buy
crs. and that as a result business was
confined to small scattered lots. On
the other hand, stocks of wheat In
European continental countries we're
reported as continuing to be only
moderate with world import require
ments showing 1885, 00. 900 bushels,
still to be shipped before July 81.
Planting delays and persisten,
srnallness Of receipts tended today to
uphold corn values II the face Of
weakness shown at times by wheat.
Arrivals Of corn in Chicago today
amounted to next to nothing, only
l3 cars. Argentine corn exports for
the week were e,299. 900 bushels
against 1928. 900 bushels a year ago.
Wheat May los.
Oats December 45s4c.
Rye May 87i2c, July 8S,:c.
Lard July ll.80. September 1915.
In the stock market some selling Of
deferred deliveries resulted from a
forecast Of more favorable weather
over the corn belt. Oats were unset
tied. Provisions were slightly easier.
