ANOTHER DIES
OF INJURIES IN
AUTO TRAGEDY
Edward Goodman Dies In New
Brunswick Late YeSter-
day Afternoon.
INVESTIGATION IS HELD
Prosecutor Stricken Places No
Blame for Tragedy at
Parlin Crossing.
INVESTIGATION IS HELD

The accident, which occurred al
Neddie's crossing, near Ernston, yes
terday morning. and cost three lives
| then. has had another death added to
| the toll. ESdward Goodman of South
Amboy, whose skull was fractured
| and who was removed to st. Peters
hospital in New Brunswick, died al
the hospital late yesterday. The
other injured men are reported to be
in better condition today. Coroners
Eugene Mullen and Hubbard, and
Prosecutor Stricken went to the scene
of the accident yesterday, and after
there was no cause for criminal ao-
ton, and that no blame could be
placed for the accident on either
party, directly.
The bodies being held by Coroner
Mullen will be disposed of today. The
body of Frank Bailey, who was killed
| instantly, will be removed this after
noon to Keyport, whore funeral SER
vices will be held on Sunday from the
lowing in Green Grove cemetery. Bal
ley's home was at 26b Martense
street, Brooklyn. He would have
twenty-four years old tomorrow.
The body of William p. Moran, who
was also killed outright, Is being held
at Coroner Mullen's morgue here, un-
til word Is received from relatives,
who are arranging details.
Relatives are also expected to
claim the bodies of Goodman and
Thomas Carroll. both of whom died
In st. Peters hospital, some time to-
day.
Prosecutor Stricken said this
morning that in his opinion the acci-
| dent could have been avoided by both
lphrties. He said that the driver,
fQhArlen Kehrer, could have stopped
his blis nearer the tracks. thus being
liable to obtain better view of the
| tracks. As 1t was, he claims that he
stopped about thirty feet from the
crossing, whore q clump of trees and
other distractions blocked of his
view.
The fact that the train was stopped
about 500 feet from the scene of the
accident apparently showed that the
train was not travelling at a great
rate of speed when the collision oc-
Cured. The officials felt that the
accident was indeed depiorable. but
was also one which could hardly be
helped.
The accident occurred while the
bus, driven by Kehrer, of this city,
was taking a party of eleven men
through thep liant, and to another Sec
ton, where the du Pont de Nemours
Company have recently started q
bronze powder mandatory. The
time clock had not yet been Installed
in the new factory and the men, who
had gone to work on the 1880 shift,
had rung their time in att the main
gates, and were then to be transport
ed to the place where they were en-
ployed at the bromide powder plant.
They were consequntly at work, and
in the employ of the company at the
time they were killed.
The bus was smashed and shatter-
ed, being ment about the post as If
made of rubber. The train threw the

600 for conducting the public schools,

Albert Leon Contributes to
Success of Campaign by
Unique Display.

Not the least effective feature In
connection with the hospital cam
paign that is meeting with so much
success, is the display In the corner
window of Albert Icons furniture
store at State and Smith streets. A
complete hospital ward has been MT
ted out In the window with wax fig

plete as far as a hospital ward Is con-
cerned, and the display is attracting
q great deal of attention.
A touch of realism Is added every
afternoon when nurses from the hos
pital spend several hours in the VIM
dow performing the duties of regular
ward nurses They look after the i'm
aginary wants of the patients" as II
the occupants of the beds were actu-
ally alive During the afternoon doc
tors from the hospital staff call at
the window just as they do at the hos
pital and make the rounds of the
beds. They feel the pulse, take the
temperature and otherwise treat the
"patients' the same as If they were
actual occupants of the hospital.
There is a consultation with the nurse
in charge, and everything even to tns
minutest detail Is looked after
The crowds Of people that gatner
about these visits of the nurses and
doctors get an idea of exactly how
patients are treated at the hospitai.
Il is q wonderfully instructive exhibit
ton, as well as being exceedingly
helpful to the hospital at this time.
Placards in the window tell OF the
needs of the hospital and point how
the efficiency of the institution can be
increased by raising. the $65,oo0,
which is the goal of the present cadl-

statements were being made today
Prosecutor Stricken said here there
was no new evidence In the case. While

meet him with the crime.
Condor Is due back here tomor-
