Shields Charges Steeves Plot Is A Character Fight
Buffalo May 16 1929 The Baptist Bible Union convention clashed over Des Moines university revolutionists and voted to exonerate Edith Rebman and Dr Thomas Shields while dismissing faculty and planning a legal fight against the injunction.

Gas Still Killing Victims After Hospital Explosion
At Mount Sinai hospital, six more cases were reported last night from a gas explosion that followed a fire at a clinic. Victims, including a stenographer Miss Elis Moeller and others, received blood transfusions, but doctors warned deaths may continue as carbon monoxide deprives organs of oxygen. The gas, identified as nitrous peroxide from burning X ray film, caused the blast in a basement store room and filled a building with hundreds inside.
