NEW YORK, June 1.-P.
J. Dubois and William Had

the Yountakah Country Club,
Nutley, N. j., thought they
would give club members a
treat by playing golf in convict
suits they wore for a costume
ball last night.
Practical jokers called the
police and then notified the
golfers of their arrival. Dubois
and Hadwen dropped their
clubs and ran, but were forced
to stop after a 3OO-yard chase,
when the policemen threatened
to shoot.
It required the efforts of a
dozen club members, including
the president, to keep the police
men from failing the ESCAPED
convicts."
