PROXY REGISTRATION.

American Born Chinese Who Fear to
Lose the Right to Return.
Wong Wing Lung and Wong Wing
Doc are the young sons OF Wong Sy
Hang, prominent merchant of China
town, and having been born in this city,
are not entitled to register under the
provisionB of the Geary act. The boys
are now in Canton, China, for the pur-
pose of attending school, and as it ia
desired that they shall return upon the
completion of their education, their
father, Wong Sy Hang, yesterday filed
with Recorder Bray the paper which
his attorney deemed most likely to en-
able the boys to return to the country
when the due amount of Confucianism
shall have been absorbed.
Afidavits setting forth the above facts
were drawn up, accompanied by photo
graphs of the boys and of the father,
and endorsed by the family physician
who attended at the birth OF the chill
dren, and by other witnesses. There ia
very little doubt as to the ability of the
absent young Cinnamon to establish
their identity by means of these docu-
ments, but just what rights they will
gain or retain ia not SO clear.
