Some of Scenes ..
 Bremen Encountered

Cleveland, Ohio, May 16 IVA ghastly yellow smudge snuffed out the lives of the victims of the Cleve- land clinic hospital disaster.
 On the wallis. the sheets of cots. on blanks once white which lay on doctors desks, the windows-every- where in the interior of the building was the yellowish blot left by the deadly gas which enveloped it's vic tims and left them choking, scream ing and fighting for air.
 Many persons were sitting by the dental room near the elevator wait ing for their appointments. when the yellow clouds of poison came pillow ing toward them and they were choking from the deadly fumes.
 They clutched their threats and gasped for air, but there was only the suffocating odor. Fighting screaming, they reeled to and pounded on the elevator door. But there was no one to answer their call.
 Bodies at Elevator Their bodies were found piled against the elevator door. As if mad they had beaten and kicked at the door. The glass of the slide guard. ing the shaft had been partly brok- en, seemingly in the vain hope that there might be air in the shaft Bremen who carried their bodies out discovered them pitched toward the elevator door. many of them having died in convulsions helpless 10 escape the yellow gas which shrouded them.

 Others-16 of them-got as far a. the landing on the third floor before they met the wall of fumes which seeped into every corner of the building. Bremen found them. too spra wled in grotesque positions and carried them out, some of them over the roof.
 The stairs were filtered with wom. ems hats and shoes. There was g glove, too, and a coat which some one had wrapped around his head ir an effort to escape. The heel marks of woman's shoe were on the cle. vator door.
 Firemen and policemen. every available man. hurried out 10 the rescue.

The pistol picked up by Patria, not .

The la borer said he discovered it Monday afternoon on tho Hartford Spring flcld road Ut East Windsor hill. The spot wkAre 1t lay would have to be reached over bridge, necessitatins drive of 16 miles from Windsor to 1t. through Hartford or Windsor Locks. The pistol was 50 badly trusted that 1t could not be opened to see if it was loaded.

 Hickey's belief that the three per- sons seen by David De Moulpied on the Huntington veranda shortly after II o'clock the night before the stu- dents death were Mary, IS year old sister of the dead youth, and friends who escorted her home from a. con- cert was supported today by Sey- mour Braman, Loomis institute stu dent, who said he was one of Mary's escorts.
 James Mccormick, Windsor high school student. was the third mem- ber of the party, according to young Braman. Mccormick, Braman and Mary arrived at the Huntington home about 1o:4s D. m., Braman said. and stood on the veranda talk ing for some time.
 Before going to the Huntington mansion. the three had taken to her home, Ethel Sissa, one of Mary's classmates at the Chaffee. school, who lives in Hartford. All four had attended a concert at Chaffee school in Windsor.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 1s N1rhe roxious, brownish gas which shatter. ed the Cleveland Clinic hospital and dropped patients, doctors and nurses in their tracks as they fought for escape, continued it's insidious work today, driving the death total to- ward the 150 mark. sAf E,E The two terrific explosions and the fire which followed ignition of r. ray films in the basement yssterday and which took scores of lives did not do all the damage. The peison- ous fumes continued to act on the blood of the victims throughout the night and resulted In hourly sepeFts of additional deaths. r
 The great majority of the 12o dead reported bsfsrs Aesn wsse ees- idents of this city, 1cere 66taS from cities outside Ohio and | Aex- en or more from other cities ins4hs state. as-;S investigations by Governor Mysr Y. Cooper. Coroner A. J. Pease and City Manager. William R. Hepkins were put under way early in m ef- fort to solve the tragedy In the white brick. four-story clinie buiid- ing. The disaster might have. been averted, state fire warden announc- ed. if the door to tho vault contain ing the films had been closed. Ex- animation of the door, which was intact on its hinges and only blister ed by heat, showed it had been left open. Cause Remains Mystery
 Although the cause of the hrs in the x-ray films remained | mystery. authorities advanced three theories. Some one, it was thought, might have been burning rubbish in the furnace. 10 feet from the vault con- taining the highly ihflammable lllnns and a spark might have been blown through the open door,. .
 The second theory is that . steAm- filter was working in the basement. which might have accounted for the door of the vault being open. Had the workman been using ! torch the flms would easily have caught ire. It was said the steamhtter WAS car ried out among the dead.
 l The most frequently advanced idea is that crossed wires on the x- ray apparatus provided the danak- ing spark.
 The man who perhaps holds the secret to the whole affair was in critical condition today and may take the solution to the sravA with him.

EXPERTS RELIEVED AS END APPROACHES
German Conditions Toned Down and Agreement
 Is Possible

Paris. May 16 R)-There was an easier feeling in reparation circles today, although no one was able to say whether it was due to any par- ticular satisfaction of the creditor delegations with the form in which the German conditions have been expressed or to notifications in the sense of those conditions.
 It was thought that it was more likely to arise from the certainty that the long tense strain was now nearly over and that the bankers, whatever the outcome of the con- ference, will soon be able to return to their habitual occupations.
 It was said by some of the credi- tor experts after first glances at the German conditions that they were much toned down making an agree- ment less unlikely n between Ger many and the creditor nations.
 There remained some considerable difficulty in the German demand for the right to revision of the settle- ment and in their contention that the states successor to Austria -Hun- ary, Poland. Rumania and Czecho- Slevakia, oush ts be obliged to as- sumo part of the reparations burden in view of an obligation to assume . proportionate part of the Austrian debt on which the Germans claim they have paid nothing 90 far. In any case the report with the German conditions Is generally expected to form the basis for final discussion.
 American Officials Barred i, Washington May 16 N-Secre- tary stimson announced today that no officer of the federal reserve board or any other American of- f,cials/ would he permitted to serve on the proposed bank of interna- tional settlements suggested by the separations commission experts in Paris.
 He declared. however. the Ameri- can government looked with sym- pathy and, interest on the work of the experts but did not desire to have any American official directly or indirectly connected with the col lection of German reparations.

Do You Have Any Fun?

How many times during the past year can you
recall that you really enjoyed yourself? M 0
philosophers agree that the real goal of living is
happiness and most people seldom find it. 1t is a
mirage generally just ahead-and never caught.
And how do you get your fun out of life? See
ing the movies, going fishing, playing golf, collecting
old books or antique furniture, reading novels, listen
find real enjoyment?
Whatever it is, it is safe to wager that it is some
thing that leaves you permanently better in mind or
body. There really is no fun-nO pleasant a~fterglOW
in a big dinner that gives Indigestion, or a big drink
that results in a headache-or any other pleasure"
that exacts a heavy payment later.
That is why Chautauqua ranks so high in the
pleasure OF so many millions Of the best type of
Americans. 1t is fine fun, while it lasts, with it's
friendly picnic atmosphere for the whole community,
its tingling music, its intriguing comedies, Just off
Broadway, its exhilirating addresses from men and
women who come from all the world and are the
most pleasing speakers to be found anywhere.
More than that, it leaves a pleasant taste after
ward. Each passing week and month and year
enhances the pleasant glowing memories of the
formed, the enioyments received and the
inspirations gained under the big brown tops.
The 1929 program we believe is more enjoyable
than ever before, the tent and stage settings and
effects are greatly improved. The whole
week will warm the cookies Of the heart and leave
permanent joy with you.
Chautauqua is trying to keep pace with Ameri
can tastes-the most exciting in the world for-"up-
,~o-the-minute" artistry and cleverness in programs,
and still retain the fine old idealism that has made a
place for Chautauqua as the outstanding American
activity and the only free platform of
Come out and have a genuine good time with
n%elghbors, the finest, cleanest fun of the year.
