CAMDEN MEN BACK FROM WORLD'S FAIR
John A. Burke and Grandson Declare It is Greatest of Exhibitions

High praise and commendation for the worlds fair at Chicago was voiced by a Camden man and his grandson who have returned home after spending all last week at the exhibit.

'The sojourners to Chicago were John A. Burke, of 516 Gordon Terrace, a member of the Camden Lodge of Elks, and his grandson, Hobart M. Luther, 17, of 807 Morgan Street, a student at Camden High School.

"In my estimation," said Burke, "the worlds fair is the finest exhibition that I have ever seen. I have attended fairs all over the country and this one excels all others.

"I found much to marvel at in the science and transportation buildings. The crowds were tremendous and the railroads were doing a rushing business. There were comparatively few automobiles from other states, but .my grandson and I counted 580 taxicabs which passed one point in an hour on the way to the fair."

While in Chicago Burke and his grandson met Floyd Gibbons, the radio announcer, and paid their compliments to him on the success of the exhibition.

A lineman was electrocuted at Woodbury and a farm hand at Woodstown yesterday. Walter Higgins, 40, of 901 Morgan street, Camden, survived two previous experiences only to lose his life at Woodbury. William B. Peterson, of Whig Lane, Pilesgrove, Salem County, lost his life while plowing a field.

Higgins came in contact with the wire shortly after the noon luncheon period ended, while working atop a 30-foot pole. Fellow workmen sought to revive him while the Underwood Hospital ambulance was speeding to the scene. After he was taken to the hospital, attendants tried for three and one-half hours to resuscitate him. Finally Dr. Ralph L. Moore pronounced the man dead. Higgins was employed by Public Service. Coroner- W. J. Burkett, of Pitman, took the case. 

Peterson was plowing a field when he noticed a wire hanging from a road light in his way. He stooped to pick it up and throw it over a fence. As he did the wire came in contact with a high voltage wire overhead and he fell.
Elmer Evans and Paul Duffy, nearby farmers, ran to his aid but were powerless to help him as smoke was coming from his shoes. Dr. C. Walter Thomas, Woodstown, pronounced him dead. Coroner B. Noel Gross issued the death certificate. The youth was one of six children of Mr. and Mrs. Burr Peterson.
