SFARRELL LOTHING CO NEW BRITAIN, CONG. CALL FOR MORE IN ~ECOND DISTRICT (Continued from First Page.) and Christ Babecka of 203 Cherry. street. Omne “Religiops Objector” Thus far one “religious objector” to war has presented himself in the sec- | ond district. He is James M. Keevers of 193 North street. He passed the physical examination and then claimed exemption, having Clerk C. C. Palmer make out the necessary papers, on the ground of religious objection to war. He told the clerk he is a member of St. Mary’s church in this city. Several brothers have already ap- pegred for examination and two of them, Stuart and Howard McKirdy of Stanley strest, have both passed. John Logan of Park street, a brother of Sergeant Henry Logan of Company E, was passed this morning and made no claim for cxemption. Another broth- er claimed exemption because of de- pendent parents and a fourth brother wag~temporarily rejected because of a minor physical disability. Frank Mc- Donough, the well-known proprietor of a Church street store, was passed as phylically fit and made no claim for exemption. S. M. Davidson, proprie- tor of the Fair Twenty-Five Cent store, is In the draft but was rejected for physical disability. Howard Blinn, a well-known baseball player, is an- ot to pass the draft test. Attorney Emil J. Danberg, clerk of the city and police courts, was rejected for physical disability, while Richard Gustafson of 151 Pleasant street, whose brother, Ernest, passed yesterday, was accepted today. These Want to Fight. While so many men are seeking to be exemipted on various grounds, two men who insisted that they wantéd to fight® were most conspicuous this morning. One was Alfred J. Bonen- ifant of 505 Main street. Bonenfant was formerly a first class private in Company E, having been discharged only a couple of months ago. “You bet, I want to get into it again. I wane to fight, Now don't forget to let me know when we're going,” ad- monished *“Chick’ as he gave the clerk his certificate of perfect physical condition. The other man was an Italian alien whose name was missed. Yesterday he had claimed exemption as an alien. This morning he rushed up tg Secretary Robb exclaiming: “Her€, me want to fight. me ro want Mr. Zemption.” He cancelled his exemption claim. The draft board desires to lmpress upon men making exemption claims that their affidavits must be properly filled out and sworn to if they are to be considered at all. This morning Dominic W. Descola sent in a petition 'or exemption but it can not be con- sidered as it is not properly filled out nd signed. The board likewise [states that it will not go into execu- e session to consider claims until omorrow afternoon or Thursday. In e meantime the afternoon work consists of routine clerical duties.

All | the steels and equipments were higher | by material fractions to almost 2 points' and coppers and tobaccos made gains. Liberty bonds were ac- tive and strong, one lot of $864,000 selling at par. Early advances in special stocks were extended during the first half hour but trading suddenly halted | later on publication of the Pope's | peace proposal. General Motors sur- rendered almost half its gains and steels and other equipments reacted with Marine preferred and Maxwell, the latter losing ground in anticipa- tion of adverse dividend action later in the day. at noon, most gains then being wholly forfeited. Liberty bonds were in steady demand at 99.96 to par and back to 99.98. Recessions became more general in’ the early afternoon, steels, sugars and prominent specialties showing in- creased pressure. Tobaccos held for awhile, but finally yielded on en- larged offers. Shippings were steady but rails were dull and irregular. Closing—Lower quotations accom- paniea the more active selling of the last hour industrials, chiefly equip- | ments showing losses of 1 to 3 points, with five for Bethlehem. The closing was heavy. Liberty bonds ranged from 99.96 to par.
