The boy. in the summer of 1916,
saw pigeon nest on a girder Of

bird sitting on the wire nearby.
The temptation was alluring. The
boy climbed to the girder and
reached out to seize the bird. The
wire was charged with electricity,
however. and when he touched it
he was thrown to the ground and
so badly burned that his arm had
to be amputated.
The boy and his father sued the
railroad. a jury in the federal dis
trict court awarding the boy S10,-

was instructed to find for the boy

climb it and had not taken meas
ures to prevent the climbing

mi" Is Condemned.

Taking the stand that proper dane
ing is educational and an art of the
higher plane. staid and conservative
parents of children attending the O
Street Junior High School made a
radical departure from existing
standards at a meeting last night by
deciding to employ a teacher to in
struct the young folks along terpsi-
chorean lines. Subsequently. plans
were made to organize dancing
classes among the students. The les
sons will be given after school hours
and will be supervised by the mothers.
Whether the students should be al
lowed to dance has been a much
mooted question among the parents.
Indecision already has resulted in the
postponement of several proposed en-
