THREE BOYS ESCAPE FROM
WHITTIER'S SUMMER CAMP

AVALON, Aug. 12.-Breaking from
the camp and sacrificing their past
good character, three boys from the
Whittier state school summer camp
last evening stole into the camp of the
Pasadena Y. NJ. G. A, and took two
rowboats. The boys are named Salaz-
er, Weaver and Ernst.
During the entire trip here it has not
been thought necessary to watch the
boys very closely, and they have been
given considerable liberty and oppor-
tunity for recreation.
Capt. F. Smart said today when
speaking of the missing cadets: ~ be-
lieve that the boys will try to row their
boats across to the mainland. 1t will
be a dangerous task in the present un-
certain weather if they are not taken
in tow by some of the Mexican fisher
men. Messages have been sent to all
seaboard towns giving a description of
them"
