Payne, nine years old, 631 C street southwest, from the Capltal Traction excavation in front of her home. The boy.had fallen into | the excavation, come in contact with | the third rail, police were told, and was fast being electrocuted when Mrs. Berry braved the canger and dragged him to the street. New tracks are being installed along 7th street, and workmen are following the usual custom of leaving the ex- &wation open at night, but protected f by ropes and barricades, it is stated. Young Payne was at a street crossing when he accidentally lost his footing ‘when !(egp!ng on a board, fell to the bottom of the excavation and endan- gered his life, Mrs. Berry, who happened to be near the front entrance of the apartment house, ran to the execavation and as- sisted the child. She realized the dan- ger of taking hold of the boy, who was being shocked. She also realized he ‘was in danger of death and that quick work was necessary to save his life. The unconsclous boy was rushed to Providence Hospital, where he was treated by Dr. O'Connor. The physician said the boy's life probably was saved by the prompt action of Mrs. Berry and for the further’ reason that his shoes were rubber seled. ng over diffcrences re- | born in | the Uni- } and in! aistry | two years to study sugar | stant chief ! of the bureau, and in charge of the | has_been acting chief of | | Frank Crown, Pittsburgh | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

W. 8. Musgrave of Laurel, chair- man: Mrs. H. J. Patterson. College Park; Willlam A. Brooks, Hyattsville, and Joseph H. Blandford, jr., Brandy- wine. Conslderable discussion arose over the propriety of allowing the nominating committee to recommend names for the various offices to be filled, many being of the opinion that nominations should be allowed out- side of those brought in by the com- ce. One speaker thought it un- that “nominations should be rammed down the throats” of people. After the question had been urgned vro and con for half an hour the temporary chairman, J. Frank Rushe, ruled the whole discussion out order. “The Citizens League of Prince Georges County” was adopted as the 1 name of the organization.
