When seen around a lunch room early Saturday morning he told peo- pie he worked on a milk wagon which his father drove. Kindly strangers bought him food. Saturday night the same thing happened and last night the little fellow was found fast asleep on the radiator in the window of the Atlantic Hotel.
 He was questioned by the night manager and said that he was afraid to go home because his father beat him with a rope. He also said that | he had been peddling papers and de- nied his story of the milk wagon. He was very hungry, so he was invited into the lunch room to eat and with out hesitation ordered a double sirloin 1 steak, fried potatoes, pie and coffee.

DRAFTEES FAIL TO APPEAR FOR
 EXAMINATIONS

The examining of Class draft reg istrants of Divisions Two, Three, Four and Five, continued in the High School building today, despite a published or der from Provost Marshal General Crowder to hold up all examinations. The order was countermanded by an other, instructing the local boards to disregard the previous order and con- tinue with examinations.
 About Is per cent. of the regis, trants called failed to appear and it is believed many of these were confused by Crowder's order. They will be placed on the Stacker" list and all failing to report today will be rounded up by the police.
 A small percentage of the men ex- amined were rejected. Those with slight physical defects disqualifying them for regular military service were accepted for special service.
 Each board summoned 200 to report yesterday and remaining Class I men numbering nearly 200 for each board were ordered to report today.

 He gave utteranee to a great num- Der of disloyal statements, it is charg- ed, and finally orders were issued for his apprehension as dangerous alien enemy.
 John Frederick August, residing. at 59 Franklin street, Bridgeport, the other alien enemy placed under ar rest, has been working on the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road as a fireman.
