BOYS SEEING THE WORLD.
Three Lads for Whose Transportation
Parents Decline to Provide,

Probation Officer Copp has charge of
three boys who are reported to have run
away from their homes and whose parents
refused to send here for them. Just what
will be done for the boys has not been de-
termined. but it is expected that some ar
rangements will be made to have them re-
turned home
Harry Frieburg of 81 SD avenue, Chi
cago, was picked up by Detective Berman
yesterday morning at the station of the
Pennsylvania railroad. He was penniless
hungry and footsore, but not homesick. The
boy left his home about two month ago, it
is said, it being his fifth effort in that line.
He has been travelling over the country
since he left home, and came to this city
from Coney Island. From information that
has been received here the boy comes Of a
very respectable family in the windy city,
but they say that he has run away SO often
that they will not send for him again.
The other two boys, now at the house of
detention are Edgar and CHARLES Lathron
of 427 South Gilmore street, Baltimore, Md.
They left their home last Sunday, and as
they were coming into this city freight
train yesterday they were arrested by an
officer of the ninth precinct. Their father
has notified the local authorities that he
cannot send for the boys.
