Fong is the first Chin- ese in this city to be drafted for mili- tary service. According to Young Wah, proprie- tor of the laundry shop, Fong, after his physical examination, filed a claim of exemption because of dependency. ¥ong, he said, is married and has a wife and fwo children in China who are totally dependent upon him for support. He further stated that Fonsg, who was in Hartford today, will ap- peal to the district board before he goes to camp. Young Wah said that Fong can claim exemption only on grounds of dependency. Physically, he said, Fong was 100 per cent. perfect. He cannot claim exemption on the grounds of being an alien, although he was born in the Orient. Fong’s father he remarked, was born in San Francisco, California, and while on a trip to China with his wife, Fong was born. Not long after Rong's parents returned to their na- tive land, America, and Fong re- cetved his schooling here. Fong, how- ever, felt the call of China and made two trips across the Pacific. On his last journey to the Orient, Cupid cap- turned him and he married. After remaining in China for a few years, Fong returned to tha United States to seek his fortune his spouse staying in China. Fong in the meantime has been contributing to her support and that of his chil- dren. He is sald to be patriotic and willing to fight for Uncle Sam, but must support his family. GONNECTICUT ARMS FIRMS UNDER FIRE Contracts With Three Rifle Con- cerns. Criticized As Unfair ‘Washington, Sept. 12.—Contracts for the manufacture of 1,000,000 rifles for the United States Army have been under the scrutiny of members of the house committee on appropri- ations, and from information gained in the executive hearings of that com- mittee it may develop that criticism the terms of the contracts will be made on the floor of the house The contracts were made with the emington Arms Company, the Rem- gton Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Company, and the Winchester Re- peating Arms Company. The papers were signed for the United States by General Crozier, chief of the army bureau of ordnance, and were ex- amined and approved by the war in- dustries board of which Frank A. Scott is chairman. The United States ran into a situ- ation on rifle making which arose from the contracts between the com- panies and the British government. The companies made a contract which they felt they could not live up to, and in the general rearrangement the 3ritish government bought the rifle- making machinery and then turned it over again to the companies to make the rifles. Later the United States paid the British government for half the cost of the same machinery.

All traces of the $20 had apparently disappeared when Hogan was searched and he stoutly denied the accusation made against him. After he was fined today, Supernu- merary Officer Cabelus succeeded in drawing forth sufficient information to warrant another search of Hogan's clothes and in his trouser pocket un- der a pile of matches, the $20 bill was found, it- is said.

An unconfirmed report received at the capital is to the effect that part of General Korniloff's army is surrender- ing. In an interview, Vice Premier and Minister of Finance Nekrasoff in- farmed the Associated Press that Gen- eral Sprjevalski, commander on the Caucuses front, and Lieut. Gen. Dmitri Stcherbatcheff, commander on the Rumanian front, had definitely declared their allegiance to the gov- ernment. From General Staeduyeff, the commander on the western front, no news has been received, but from his attitude there is reason to believe that he remains true to the govern- ment. The attitude of Gen. Klembavsky, commander on the northern front, is still enigmatical. General Klem- bovsky based his refusal to accept the post of commander-in-chief on the fact that the position on his front required his special attention. Asked by the government or an explanation af why he allowed General Korniloff's army to pass through Pskoff, he replied that these troops were not subordinate to him.

There was evidence that the conspiracy had been refully prepared and well in ad- vance, whereas the government was caught wholly unaware The constitutional democrats, ML Nekrasoff said, had no part in the plot and no members of that party had been at Gen. Korniloff's head- quarter: The government had received infor- mation that dissension had broken off in Gen. Korniloff’s camp. The army sent against Petrograd the vice pre- mier declared had been deceived, hav- ing been told that Gen. Korniloff's only aim ®as to drive the Bolshevikl group out of the capital. The gov- ernment had taken measures to unde- ceive the soldiers on this point. M. Nekrasoff concluded, as regards the composition of the provisional cabinet, that M. Yopureneff, minister of public works and Professor Koko- shine, the state controller, were the only ministers who had definitely re- signed their posts. The attitude of M. Oldenburg, minister of public in- struction, and M. Kartasheff, pro- curator of the holy synod, was doubt- ful. | Premier Kerensky, the vice premier stated, has been offered special pow- ers, and he has the support of the whole country. Korniloff Out-mancuvered. The Associated Press was personal- 1y informed this afternoon by Minister of Finance Nekrasoff that the forces of Gen. Korniloff in the direction of Psko and at Dno, which were marching on Petrograd, had been out- maneuvered by the troops loval to the provisional government and that their retreat had been cut off. Petrograd, Sept. 11, 6 p. m.—Mem- bers of the Kerensky government have informed the Associated Press that while they are unable to re- port the flnal overthrow of Gen. Korniloff they are optimistic con- cerning the general situation. Uncon- firmed reports say that a part of Gen. Korniloff's army is surrender- ing to the government. Alexander Guchkoff, the actrobist leader and former minister of war and navy, who after levang Petrograd last Saturday joined the Korniloff move ment, has been arrested. He is now under guard at Pskoff. government, Vice Premier soff said, had told Gen.
