G
ROME. May 18 (Associated Press).
—-F‘ire swept the historic Hospital of
Santa Spirito. one of the most ancient
and picturesque charitable institutions
in Rome. early today. Collapse of the
pavement_isolatcd the chronic ward.
Sixteen bodies had' been extracted
from the burning ruins at 7:30 o’clock.
The hospital of Santo Spirito is sit—
uated on the bank of the River Tiber.
not far from the Vatican grounds.
It was founded by Pope Innocent
III. in the twelfth century. enlarged
by Innocent .I '. in the next and re-
built under Situx IV. in the fifteenth.
The altar in the hospital chapel was
designed by Andrea Palladio. and is
reputed to be the only work of this
artist in Rome. |
The institution accommodates near- l
1:: five thousand inmates. and includes;
a hospital, lunatic asylum, foundling
homo and a refuge for aged and infirm ’
persons. ‘
The fire broke out Shortly before
midnight in the laundry. At first. it
seemed insignificant. but it sprrad rap-
idly to the neighboring wards. each
containing thirty chronic sufferers or=
infirm patients. who were seized with
panic.
Nurses and doctors quickly clear“
the bedridden tram one ward. and h
the next ward three of the patio"
crawled out. Neighboring fire!!!“
rushed to the scene. but at the nu)-
ment of their arrival the elect ric Ugh“
were extinguished. adding to the hor-
ror. .
As the immense wooden beams 41
the hospital fell, there was a heavy!
'grinding noise, and the pavement coi-
'lapsed, burying twenty of the chrouh
patients and making access to
wards impossible.
Carabincers. royal guards. nut“,
and doctors made heroic efforts .
save the untortun‘ateo. rushing throufi
the smoke and fire and bringing cc
twelve. all of whom, however. w”
dead from suffocation Several of on
rescue parties were injured. Tm
wards were destroyed, but the firemen
succeeded in saving the rest of fin
buildings.
Sixteen bodies already have been
recovered. Four other patients w”
badly burned and one dangerously h-
jurcd.

RICHMOND RENIES
BEING UNFRREKER
DENVER, 0010.. May ISL—The
Rev. G. G. Richmond. former minister
of Evanston. \Vyo.. today denied the
published statement that he had been
unfrocked by Bishop Thomas of the
Episcopal church in \Vyoming. (
In speaking of the happenings be-
fore he left Evanston, Wyo.. Mr.
Richmond said that had been so active
in reform work and in fighting the
liquor and gambling interests that he
had been assaulted and mobbed and
that he had been requested to give up
His parish by these interests, and to
.leave Evanston. He also said that be—
cause of his work and bitter utterances
against the violations of the law. Bis—
hop Thomas finally had uequested him
to give up his church at Evanston.
“There is a great difference between i
being unfrocked and vacating a pas-l
torate." he declared. "I was removed'
from the pastorate because of the
strength of the fight that I put into my
campaign against vice. I know of no.
place where it has ever been consider-
ed a. sin for a. minister to fight the
vices of drinking and gambling."
Mr. Richmond said he‘had come to
Denver with the intention of making
his home here.
