CITY WINS IN
 S0UTHEY SUIT
ARCHITECT RECOVERS $500, A LITTLE MORE THAN SCHOOL BOARD WAS WILLING TO PAY IN SETTLEMENT.
Suit Grew Out of Remodelling of Bostwick Avenue School and Re Sf,25o.

sI,25o.
 Judge Lucien F. Burpee decides that Architect Ernest G. Southey is entitled to recover but $5so from the Board of Education. He sued to re- cover $1,250 which he claimed the board should pay for his plans for remodelling the Bostwick avenue school. The committee had offered $500 in settlement of the claim. The committee on schools, a sub-commit- tee of the board. employed MT. South ey to make. plans for certain changes. When the plans were submitted 1t was discovered that it would cost s52.00 to do the work and they were rejected upon the ground that the improvements provided for were more extensive than the board ordered. Plans were subsequently made by an- other architect. and the improvements were carried out at an expense of less than S20,000. The city was repre- sented by City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan- MT. Southey was represent ed by Canneid. Judson & Pullman.

SAY SCHOOLS SHOULD FIT
STUDENTS TO READ PAPERS.
Bureau OF Municipal Research
Makes Novel Plea.

In al illustrated appeal for more
newspaper attention TO public school
problems, issued by the New York
Bureau for Municipal Research this
week, the first subject dweIt upon un-
der the title School Stories has to do
with the folk dances as practised in
the public schools of Newark. The
dances in .Pittsourg are also taken up.
Other subjects concern manual train
ing in Birmingham and Harrisburg,
lighting arrangements in Boston, test
ing eyes in Philadelphia, adenoid opera
tons in Cleveland, Fairgrounds in
Springfield, Newark and Detroit, cook
ing classes in Fort Wayne and ST.
Joseph, and many other specialties.
In urging greater cooperation be-
tween h schools and the newspapers.
statisticians Of the bureau declare that
for 100 per cent. Of American citizens
over 20 years of age. and for all but
s per cent. over IA, the most constant
and most effective educational agency
is Journalism. That in fitting children
for life. schools should prepare them
for later education through the news
papers and magazines, Is the novel
contention.

YOUTH NEAR DEATH
IN LEAP FROM FAST TRAIN.
Clerk Falls Under Wheels and
Foot Is Crushed.

TRENTON, Nov. 15.AWhile trying to
save. the time of walking from the
Clinton street station to the home OF
sorne friends. Harry R~obinourtsch, II
years old, of Beatty street and Smith
avenue jumped from a passenger train
in South Trenton and was painfully in
jured.
Besides having one toe cut off he sus-
tanned a crushed foot, decorations of the
hands and head and was badly shaken
up. That he escaped instant death
was miraculous. !
R~obinourtsch is a clerk in his fathers
grocery store at the above corner.
About a week ago he informed his
parents that he was going to visit rela-
tiyes in Philadelphia. He left the
Quaker City on a fast train.
As the train neared this city. Robin
ourtsch decided to try n jump OFT
somewhere In South Trenton. At the
Jersey side of the Delaware bridge the
engineer saw a green signal light ahead
of him and he s1ackened his speed.
Robinourtsch ran to the. platform
while the train was yet running at a
good rate of speed. He held fast to
the iron railing alongside the steps and
tried to step off. He slipped and one
foot went under the wheel and was
crushed.

RAILROAD MEN THROUGHOUT
COUNTRY DEMAND INCREASE.
Greatest Concerted Movement
in History Undertaken.

Conductors and trainmen of the East
ern railroads hav completed arrange
ments for the concerted demand they
will soon make for an increase of IL
per cent. in wages. They await the
first move on the part of the Western
railroad men before presenting their de-
mands to the executive heads of every
railroad in the East. Locomotive fire.
men of forty-two Western railroads
have already filed demands for more
pay, and 1t is expected the conductors
and trainmen of the West will follow
suit.
Engineers of the Eastern roads are
holding aloof. Many meetings Of fire.
men, trainmen and conductors have
been held, and the men express a de-
termination to gain such an increase In
wages as will enable them to meet in
creased cost OF living.
This movement is the greatest con-
certed demand railroad men have ever
made. In the East alone there will be
$4,000 mep involved, and railroad
workers in the Northwest, Southwest
Ind Western sections Of the country
will be affected.
