Corrigan said he would start an im- mediate investigation into the appar- ently careless manner in which the X-ray films were left in a jumbled heap in a room dangerously close to the flames. “If the flames had reached the film, we would have had a disaster similar to that in Cleveland,” he said. Dr. Edward C. Meyer, house physi- cian, said a man had come to the hos- pital Saturday with an offer to buy the old X-ray films “The films were taken from the vaults in various parts of the hospital and placed in the room, where they were found pending the man’s return,” Dr. Meyer said. Twelve of the 17 patients had to be carried from the smoke-filled rooms. Eight persons, in another section of the hospital not touched by fire, were moved from their beds to the elevator doors, in case an emergency evacuation wWere necessary. Mrs. Anna George, a patient on the second floor, said the Toom began filling with smoke ‘and that she rang the bell near her bed.

Firemen re-entered the hospital, fighting their way through the smoke to the nursery, where they found the infant sound asleep, though the room was full of smoke and there was a clanging of fire equipment. \V.
