SCORES DROP
 AS SEEK TO
 MAKE ESCAPE
Doctors, Nurses and Pa tients Fall as They
 Breath Deadly Gas
MANY VICTIMS NOT
 EXPECTED TO LIVE
Death Toll Expected to h. Three Theories
 as to Cause of Disaster

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 16.-A noxious brownish gas devastated the Cleveland Clin ic Hospital late yesterday and dropped doctors, nurses, and patients in their tracks as they fought for escape.
 The death tell has already been driven toward the 150 mark.
 Two terrific explosions and fire followed the ignition of X-ray films but these did not do all of the damage as the poisonous fumes acted upon the blood of the vict i'm S throughout the night and re- suited in hourly deaths.
 The greatest number of the 120, known dead at noon to- day, were residents of this city.
 Investigations by Gov. Myers Y. Cooper. Coroner Pease and City Manager Hopkins, are under way in an effort to solve the tragedy.
 Three Theories
 Three theories are advanced for the cause of the fire.
 Some one might have been burn ing rubbish in the furnace near a 10-foot vault containing films and a spark blown through the furnace door might have ignited the films which then exploded. | The second theory is that steam filters, working in the basement, were using a blow torch and start ed fire.
 Crossed Wires
 The most frequently advanced suggestion is that crossed wires in the X-ray apparatus did the dam age The spark man, who holds the secret of this, is in critical condition and is unable to talk.
 Dr. Jack Shafford, the spark man, said he leaped from the win dow of the x-ray room. He was found sitting on the ground in dazed condition.
 Physicians hold out little hope for scores under treatment from gas and burns. The gas has at tackled the corpuscles of the blood of the victims. This gas is com pared to walking gas cases in the war in which victims withstood the gas for day then dropped dead. Some of the survivors were pa- tients and doctors. nurses, firemen and volunteer citizens worked to save them by administering oxygen. Blood transfusion are being resort cd to but in the majority of cases have failed and the victims have died.
 Suddenly Drop Dead Many who were near the blast got just a whiff of the gas and rushed away and as they were congratulating themselves, dropped dead a few hours later. Three hundred persons were in the hospital at the time of the disaster.
 i The fire door of the x-ray room was found to have been left open (which released a column of must ard colored gas from the burning film and this penetrated every creviee in the building.
 The loss to the building, despite the number of dead. will not be over $50,000.

INSTITUTIONS OF
STATE AT WORK
Continued from Page II

General Assembly rolls around. I
will be able to consider budgets with
much more intelligence because
will know of conditions. There are
some institutions that need more
money in order that the inmates may
be more properly taken care of. In
all such instances, 1 shall recon-
mend what 1 consider necessary.
Before the General Assembly
meets, propose to visit other States
which have similar institutions to
those we have, in order that 1 may
make comparison between how they
are conducted and the way our Della
ware institutions are run"
Governor Buck said the changes
in the financial system under which
the affairs of Delaware are admin
istered are being put into effect
gradually wherever such changes are
possible without reference to the
law.

COUNTRY THIS YEAR

be somewhat larger than last year.
The dry season was particularly IA
vorable for raising turkeys and most
of the growers report that they were
successful in raising a fair percen-
tage of the turkeys that they hatch
ed. The turkeys are of nice size and
are in excellent condition and it is
hoped that good prices will prevail
for it is certain that in so far as
quality is concerned, Delaware will
live up to its reputation of produc-
ing the very best.
Turkeys may, of course, be mark
eted either alive or dressed; how
ever, the large majority of turkeys
from this State are sold dressed
either nearby or shipped to the ter
minal markets. The shipper should
be sure that all animal heat is gone
from the birds before they are pack
ed for shipment and if the weather
is warm, they should be chilled if
possible. They should be thorough
ly clean and free from bruises and
all discolorations if possible. The
heads and feet should remain on, but
should be scrubbed clean and the
heads should be neatly wrapped in
parchment paper.
In connection with the marketing
of the turkey crop, the Bureau of
Markets of the State Board of Agri-
culture, again warns the growers
and shippers of Delaware against
shipping or consigning their turkeys
to firms or individuals whom they do
not know. A favorite method for in
ducing shipments is the sending out
of quotations high above the market.
Delaware shippers should beware of
such quotations and should not
make shipments until they have
learned something of the financial
and moral rating of the person or
firm who sends out these high quota
lions. 1t is, of course, well-known
that the large majority of buyers or
receivers are honest and respon-
sible; however, no shipper should
send his products to person or firm
whom he does not know to be re-
liable and should insist on cash ra-
Their than checks in payment for tur-
keys bought by unknown truckers or
dealers who call at the farm to buy.
The Bureau of Markets of the
State Board of Agriculture will, upon
request, be very glad to supply in
formation regarding buyers or re-
ceivers in the terminal markets.
