Smith and William Burdick, all 17, pleaded not guilty to vagrancy, through Pro- pation Officer W. C. Lyman. An over- seer of the Quidnick-Windham com- pany told of feeding and boarding the boys on their promise to work, and how they failed to show up. Nick- érson said that they were looking for work in a Providence employment agency and were referred to this city. Wednesday morning they were going to work, but couldn’t find the boss, and were arrested while going up the tracks. ‘ They wanted work and were going to go to the plant in the af- ternoon. The case was continued un- til thish morning to investigate their past. Thursday afternoon a telephone message was received from the chief of police in Providence that the three boys had =iven fictitious names, and that they were lazy and did not work. "This_information was given the police by_their mothers. The boys evidently left Providence when the “work or go to jail” order, went into effect., They will probably be given a chanee to work ins Brook- Iyn jail. War Takes Hartford Ball Stars.
