Br the Associated P: CLEVELAND, May 18.—Fifteen of 50 persons still in hospitals here fighting against deadly effects of poison gas they inhaled in the Cleveland clinic dis aster, are not expected to recover, doc- | tors £aid toright. and the others prob- | ably will suffer lung troubles for vears | to_come. The death toll stood at 124. Mrs. Arthur Richards of Sharon, Pa., | died today three days after the blast. | Oxygen treatment was continued for [ those in hospitals and some of them | were given transfusion of blood. | Investigations of the tragedy will con- tinue Monday, Coroner A.

Down in the charred basement store- room where fire in X-Ray films re- leased the deadly gasses of the disaster | —which chemists today said was enough | to have killed 4,000,000 people—Boggs re-enacted the opening scenes. The steamfitter showed where he was working when he observed smoke com- ing from the storage room. “I saw no | fire,” he said. Boggs showed the investigators then how he had grabbed a fire extinguisher | and plaved it upon the smoldering films only to find that the smoke in- | creased. He told how he finally felt {mself becoming unconscious. Despite all their investigation, how- ever, Coroner Pearse and the officials who are working with him are partly baffied by the case. They hope to have | a “final sum-up” of the tragedy, how- | ever, next week. Cleveland Mourns. ‘Members of the coroner’s commission include County Prosecutor Ray T. Mill- er, Gen. H. L. Gilchrist, chief of the | United States Chemical Warfare Serv- ice; Comdr. D. C. Walton of the United States Naval Medical Bureau, J. J. Fournier, State industrial inspector, and John E. Cranshaw of the United States Bureau of Mines. ‘Thirty-six victims of the disaster were buried here today. Among them was the body of Dr. John Phillips. a co-founder of the clinic, and Dr. Charles Edward Locke, brain specialist, another member of the clinic staff. ‘Throughout the day, Cleveland was in official mourning for the dead. The huge American flag in Public Square and others throughout the city were drawn to half mast. Financial Relief Pledged. Financial relief for many of the be- ! reaved of the tragedy was promised to- day from the State workman's com- pensation fund. Will T. Blake, di- {rector of industrial relations, reported (to Gov. Myers Y. Cooper that about $300,000 would be paid by the State in death claims to dependents of clinic employes who were killed. There were l:sbout 40 of the employes in the death The maximum death claim is $6,500, | plus $150 for funeral expenses. 1 Herman Kornfield, 74, of Cleveland, died late tonight.

Names of Cloud Formations. ‘The idea of giving names to various kinds of cloud formations was first attempted in the early part of the nineteenth century by a man named Lamarck, but his terms were not well chosen. A simpler form was devised about 1803 by Luke Howard, which seemed to answer the purpose and was generally accepted. Howard classified clouds according to their appearance, recognizing three primary types—c! cumulus and stratus—and four deriva- tive, or compound forms—cirro-cumulus, cirro-stratus, cumulo-stratus and cumu- lo-cirro-stratus, or nimbus. Thus, he defined seven varieties. Big Airport for Africa. Germiston 1s to have the largest air- |{port in South Africa.
