Red Hot Rpmancers WATERLOO, N. Y, Feb. 23. — ‘Three youths landed in the county jail on charges of arson because, an undersheriff said, they thought a fire would attract some girls. Lawrence Wilkins, eighteen, and Arthur Miller, seventeen, of Lodi, and Rex Hess, seventeen, of Inter- laken, were arrested by Undersher- iff John G. Crisfield. - ‘They were accused of burning two barns and a tool shed, with a loss of 34,000, on the Clarence Camp- bell estate near Lodi the other night. Crisfield said the youths told him they were prompted solely by a de- sire to attract a crowd which they hoped would “contain some girls.” Edgar Hoover Gives Chiding to Parents WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—J.
