GLEN SOCIAL DEAD
ARE NOW Fifteen
Frank Henry, cIarksboro Cross
ing Victim, Expires in
Cooper Hospital
BLOOD TRANSMISSION FAILS

Deaths from the accident Saturday
night at Clarksboro, N. j., when a
motortruck carrying members Of the
Glen Social Club was struck by train
on a grade crossing there, now number
fifteen. The fifteenth victim to die was
Frank Henry, Fifth and westmoreland
streets, who died in the Cooper Hospi-
tai, Camden, at II o'clock this morn
ing.
Henry rallied for short time yes
terday, when blood TRANSMISSION was re-
sorted to, and it was thought gave him
chance for life. However, the rally
was short and he grew steadily weaker.
Tears and fluctuations mingle in that
section of the Northeast in which the
fifteen persons who were killed lived.
But tears for the dead are much more
in evidence than fluctuations for those
who escaped unhurt or who will recover
from their injuries.
And of all the homes marked by death Il,
not one has the same depth of sadness
and the same frequent cause for fresh
outburst of tears as that of Mrs. Martha
Brown McAdams, 3071 North Orkney
street.
Child Doesn't Know
For her five year old daughter, blue
eyed and fair haired does not realize
the void that has come into her life.
My mother died, she innocently tells
each visitor, smiling, as if speaking OF
some happy event.
"She is too young to realize what has
happened" Miss Elizabeth Brown, sis
ter OF the dead woman, explained.
But IL there is less frequent cause for
tears in the homes Of the others killed al
the crossing, the grief is just as keen as
in the McAdams home.

Veronica's Church, Sixth and Tioga
streets, tomorrow. The first, at 6
