THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 24. 1918. 9 A BOYS ADVISED TO KEEP AWAY FROM JRAIL YARD Negro Youth Sent to Kearney von Theft Charge; Boy is Reprimanded hv Court . . for Smoking. "Boys, my advice to you is to keep away from the railroad yards," stat ed Judge Troup in juvenile court to a group of youngsters who had tres passed on the right-of-way. Special officers of railroads have received strict orders to apprehend all unau thorized persons on railroad right-of-way. Perfume was the undoing of Well ington Martin, 16-year-old colored boy who was ordered to the state industrial school at Kearney. The boy was charged with stealing goods from a store where he had been em ployed. He pleaded that an older employe tempted him by showing bow easy it could be done. The judge stated that a boy of 16 should know that it is wrong to steal. A minute after the boy had been com mitted to Kearney, a constable from municipal court appeared with a warrant against him on a more seri ous charge. A 14-year-old attendant of Madi son school was reprimanded v for smoking cigarets near the school. The boy stated that J. P. Cross sold him the tobacco. The mother claimed extenuating circumstances becauses he alleged that many boys at' Madison school smoked tobacco and that her son had been influenced by suggestion.
