Fatal Illness FoIlo5Cs Enforcement
of Health Board RuIes.

Frances Hirseh. fourteen years old, who had
been made i'll by vaccination, died suddenly yes
terday afternoon at the home Of her aunt, Mrs.
Henrietta Beckman No 229 West 14Oth-st. The
girls home was in Newark. but she had en-
ployment in an underwear shop in this city. She
had to be vaceinated. according to orders from
the Health Department. Following the vacci-
nation she became i'll, and she spent the last
three days in the home of her aunt.
Yesterday, while sitting in a chair, Frances
tainted. She fell to the floor. and when picked
up she was dead. Dr. John Hoch. Of No. 162
East 64th-st, reached the house too late to be
Of service. Coroner Scholer went to the house
and made investigation.
Coroner Scholer said last night that he did
not believe the vaccination had anything to do
with the girls death, as he found the marks left
by the vaccination operation in excellent heal
ing condition, and no other marks to show that
the vaccination virus had produced death. The
girl. the coroner said would have become a
mother in few months.
