Reconsideration of cases by the dis
trict exemption board, reversals of
former decisions and the Intervention
of the President and other government
officers in Bridgeport draft matters,
were shown in the decision of the dis
trict board, made public today.
The exemption previously granted |
to DeVer c. Warner has been revoked |
and a conditional discharge to April 5.
1918, substituted. President Wilson
has interviewed to prevent Edmond K.
Brown, of the Lake Torpedo Boat Co. |
from being sent with the next allot- |
ment of men to Camp Devens. Upon |
Information furnished by government |
inspectors the case of Vrom Moron |
khan, formerly. released from service !
by the Sixth division board. has been
denied and that he would have to
serve in the national army ranks.
! Revocation of Mr.. Warmers exemp-
ton came, it was said, this morning
at the district headquarters because
the promised papers commissioning
him in the quartermaster'g department
Of the army had not been formally
presented to the board.
Although affidavits had been re-
ceived from General Cro1ier testifying
that the commission Of Mr.. Warner
was being considered, the fact that he
WAS not in the service was offered to
the board as a possible means Of his
being avoiding both the draft and act
ual usefulness to the army.
Upon this assumption the board re-
considered the exemption already
granted and under conditional dis
LII
filing of the commission or service in
the army.
! Dever C. Warner is the son Of De
Yer H. Warner. head of the corset
factory bearing that name in this city.
His first claim for exemption upon the
grounds of having a dependent fam
lily to support was denied. The dis
trict board reopened the case upon the
affidavits of General Crozier and ex-
empted him. Now he has until April
to qualify.
Edmund K. Brown, craftsman in
the employ of the Lake Torpedo Boat
Works. had previously been denied ex-
! emption upon industrial grounds by
the District Board. An appeal taken
to President Wilson resulted in con-
sideration of his case and he is condi-
. tionaIly discharged that his services
may be retained in the naval work
upon which he is now employed.
The record OF Vrom Moronkian, as
disclosed by the minutes of the board
does not appear other than the terse
! statement that the sixth division local
board has been reversed upon gov
eminent appeal.
