G|LCHR|ST TO co
TO DISASTER SCENE
Chief of Chemical Warfare
Service to Make Per-
sonaI Survey.

Maj Gen. Harry L. Gilchrist, chief
of the Chemical Warfare Service will
leave this afternoon for Cleveland, to
make q personal investigation of the
clinic disaster, which occurred yester-
day
Gen. Gilchrist will make the in
vestigation In the interest of the
Chemical Warfare Service of the Army.
The deadly brown gas which was
responsible for most of the hundred or
more deaths probably was nitrogen
dioxide released by the burning X-ray
films in the basement, chemists of the
United States Chemical Warfore Serv-
ice deducted today. Blood tests in Cleve-
land today showed that the gas was a
combination Of hydrocaynic acid and
bromine.
Nitrogen dioxide long has been a
factor in Industrial accidents. Previous
ly the most sensational nitrogen dioxide
accidents have been associated with
turret explosions on battleships.
Mixed with this and augmenting the
deadly effects was the colorless, odorless
carbon monoxide gas which escapes
from the exhausts of automobiles and
causes frequent deaths in closed
garages when drivers leave the motors
running.
The condition of the patients, It was
pointed out, fits the picture of nitrogen
dioxide poisoning. 1t is an extremely
suffocating, choking, corrosive gas. 1t
would arise from the burning OF the Gel
lulose nitrate combination OF the x
ray film, which has practically the same
chemical composition as q low-grade
smokeless powder. The tragedy proba-
bly, would have been largely averted il
the new safety film with cellulose
acetate base had been substituted, as
now has been done in most moving pic
ture theaters. Both burn, but the cell
lulose nitrate composition burns explo-
sively. The same materials in different
composition produce gun cotton.
The action of the nitrogen dioxide
fumes is similar to that of the phos-
gene gas of war days. Even small
amounts result in acute pulmonary
edema, which will result in death in
a few hours. This is due to the forma-
ton OF nitric acid by the combination
Of the gas with moisture in the respira-
tory passages, the nose and the lungs
The phosgene of war days produced
hydrochloric. acid under similar cir
cumstances.
Nitrogen dioxide, it was pointed out,
Is especially dangerous in some indus
trial establishments using nitrateS be-
cause it works so insiduouSly. 1t first
causes only q slight smarting OF the
eyes and slight cough which the VIC
tim is not likely to connect with gas
poisoning until too late. Such accidents
must be guarded against in explosive
factories. electro plating establishments
and in the manufacture of coal-tar dyes
and some kinds of paints.
Since inhalation of the gas In small
quantities acts slowly, the deaths are
likely TO stretch over considerable
time.

Coroner A. j. Pearse, starting his off,

statement that he believed 95 per cent
of the victims died from hydrocyanic
