Dr. T. T. Shields, the president of

the minister of the Baptist church

"Dr. Shields is a man of very

years of patience the above action

CLEVELAND, May 16.-(A. P.)-Spontaneous com-
bustion in an overheated storeroom caused the fire and explosion
which wrecked the Cleveland Clinic building and took the lives of
scores of patients, nurses and doctors, fire wardens reported today.
The heat came from a leaky steam pipe in the basement room,
Deputy Wardens Max Groff and P. T. Ferrie, who made an inves-
tigation, reported.
It was the story of Boffarty Bogg, a plumber, who was sent to
repair the pipe, which led to the investigation and decision, that the
heat caused the flames which liberated clouds of poisonous gases and
overcame many of the 300 occupants of the building.
As reports were received regularly of additional deaths, due to
