Four Youthful Runaways
With $3.50 Stolen From
Parents Arrested Here

Four small boys, all under IS, with
$3.50, stolen from their parents, and a
desire to see the world, were arrested
here last night by railroad police.
They are John Torok, Raymond Lau,
Daniel White and Elmer Lau, all from
Philadelphia.
Raymond Lau and Torok took the bulk
of the money from Mrs. Mary Torok
believed to be a Woodworking woman,
who had saved the money for an
emergency. They secured it from a bu-
reau drawer, where it had been hidden
recruited their friends and started on
trip to Milton, where one of them
has relatives. White and Elmer I4au
had intended to work in the munition
plant at Milton but decided there was
no use of working as long as the
money lasted.
They spent money so freely and in
a manner not in keeping with their
dress that suspicious of railroad detect
ives were aroused. When they arrived
in Harrisburg they were arrested and
lodged in police cells for the night
Their parents will be notified.

House Takes Up Seven
Billion Dollar Revenue
Bill For War Purposes
By Associated Prcst


Washington, April 13. - Debate on
the $1,000, 100000 war revenue bill
began in the House to-day with pros
poets of its passage before to-mor-
row night. Majority Leader Kitchin,
in charge of the bill, was prepared to
explain it's provisions. Only opposi-
ton of perfunctory nature was look
ed for as most mem bers of the House
are said to favor the measure.
No effort had been made to limit de-
bate and discussion was expected to
take a wide range, including possibly
the question of sending troops abroad
and conscription. AS soon as the bill
lis disposed of by the House, members
'of the ways and means committee will
begin devising means for raising a
part of the $1,000 100000 by taxes.
The Senate finance committee is ex-
pected to approve the bill in substan-
TALLY the form in which it comes over
from the House. 1t is hoped to re-
port the measure to the Senate the
first of next week. No strong opposi-
tion is looked for there.

Attempts of Austria and
Bulgaria to Stop War
Gratifying to America

Washington, April 13.-Oficials to-
day viewed the disclosures that Aus
tria and Bulgaria through their rep
resentatives in Switzerland are try
ing to approach entente diplomats on
the subject of peace as gratifying, in
asmuch as they indicate war weari-
ness in those countries, but as not
necessarily involving the sort of def
mite proposals that might bring
peace in the near future.
Information received here does not
indicate that Austria and Bulgaria
are sufficiently desperate to make
them propose terms acceptable to the
entente allies and diplomats of the
latter have indicated that they will
refuse to enter peace discussions not
based on publicly aVowed terms.
