STATE FUNDS
HAVE PAID THE
PERSONAL BILLS
!. MASSACHUSETTS

Boston, Oct. 27.-State funds have
been used for personal expenses, in
Guiding travel hotel bills and meals
and entertainment. according to a re-
port of the commission on economy
and efficiency filed today with Gov
ernor Walsh who in July requested
an investigation of expense accounts
of State officials and employees.
The conditions found during this
investigation, the report stated. are {,
lack of uniform and specific regula
lions, expenditure of state funds by
some officials for personal expenses,
as travel between home and Office,
personal hotel bills and meals, enter
tainment, fees and tips. charge of full
cash fares when mileage books are
used. excessive telephone charges
These practices, the commission
says, were not found in all depart
ments but in specific instances. Fur
thermore, the state auditor has in
stituted some reforms in the handling
of expense accounts and has compel
ed restitution in some cases.

PORTLAND BOYS
REFUGEES ON
LONG ISLAND

Portland, Me-, Oct. 27.-without
food or shelter, except such as they
might have been able to take with
them m small row boat, three Long
Island boys are existing somewhere
on Goose island where they fled to es-
cape capture after having been caught
Sunday last occupying without per-
mission the cottage owned by L. F.
Jones at East End, Long Island. Po-
lice Captain Hugh F. McDonoush was
about to send the police boat to get
the boys today when he learned that
the parents of the boys had already
taken steps to have Them brought
home.
1t appears that about a week ago cot
tages were entered at Long Island and
some articles of small value were taken
from them. The matter was reported to
the police but no clue was furnished to
the parties. Some time later the father
of Leo F. Horr. IS. of Long Island, re-
ported to the police that his boy was
missing from home and that another boy
who lives on the island had disappeared.
without result and no trace of the boys
was found until last Sunday when L. F.
Jones happened to come down from Cam
bridge, Mass, to visit his summer cot
tage at East End
He was somewhat surprised when
he reached the cottage to find the
door open and a fire burning inside.
Further search of the cottage revealed
three boys who had apparently fled
at his approach and sought to hide
themselves in an upstairs room. They
managed to elude Mr.. Jones and made
their escape into the woods. 1t APP
pears that they obtained row boat
and fed to Goose island where they
have been since Sunday. Whether or
not they carried any provisions in
their boat is not known.
