Founder Of the American Red
Cross, Beloved by All, Passed
Away at the Age of
Ninety.
KNOWN OVER ALL WORLD
Although She Had Been In Falling
Health For Years, Death
Came Almost Without
Warning.

I United Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON April 12.-Miss
Clara Barton, philanthropist founder
of the American Red Cross and below
ed of all the nation, died at her home
at Glen Echo, Md, today. She was
ninety years of ago on December 26.
The Red Cross headquarters we're
not notified of her death until late
this afternoon, owing to the fact that
Miss Barton's home is isolated In the
suburbs and her sorrowing relatives
and friends we're prostrated by her
sudden death.
Although the aged founder of the
Red Cross has been in failing health
for years, death came almost without
warning. During the winter she con
| tracted a severe case of pneumonia
which affected her heart and it was
from this latter trouble that death
resulted. At her bedside when the
( summons came was her nephew
4 Stephen Barton of Boston, who has
been visiting her. 1t was said by
! friends that Miss Barton's remains
would be inferred at Oxford. Mass
No further arrangements were an
/ nounced.
Miss Barton's services during the
Franco Prussian war and the Paris
commune brought her not only fam
! but recognition of practically ever,
civilized country. The American Re-
Cross was the outcome of her effort
to lessen the misery of war.
