Commonwealars slept last night with little
shelter. Their breakfast was hardtack
and coffee. Since Thursdaysthe men have
eaten naught save hard crackers and much
grumbling is heard.
1--WE rely upon the public to support
this movement" said Coxey. 'If the en-
terprise is not maintained by the people.
in whose interest it Is, then il must fail.
Within two or three days a proclamation
will be issued presenting the situation and
calling for help. We intend Dot to stop
insistence upon action by Congress in be-
half of the unemployed"
Coxey regards the talk of interference
as absurd. The army is to be moved
Sunday morning to Brightwood Park,
Washington, where admission is to be
charged to all visitors. The receipts are
to go toward maintaining the camp. In
the absence of the chief and Carl Browne,
who went Ia advance to Rockville,
Coxey's son Jessa Ia in comreapde of his
army to-day. Tie days journey is only
five miles to Rockville.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, April 2S.-The Quaker
crowd greeted with three cheers the
arrival of the original Coxeyites this after
Don. Then the Jones contingent stepped
in and the entire column moved into the
town. Nothing had been seen of Un-
known Smith and his contingent until
suddenly there came a sound of Kissing
Marshal Browne was just then passing
and the Kissing was for him, and it came
from a dozen of spokesmen. Browne
turned in his saddle and glanced at the
men Kissing him. but the instant he recog-
nized them he put his face straight ahead
and gave no further need.
''We want to go into Coxey's army"
shouted one OF the disaffected ones, as
Coxey rode past Browne led the united
forces to a pretty slope, and while yet
mounted he addressed them thus:
I'VE are now united with the first com-
mune of our brothers, and l want to give
you a fair warning. You must conduct
yourselves with caution, for officers will
run you in on the slightest pretext. 1t
would be too bad if. after all the priva-
tons you have suffered. any one Of you
should lose the greatest honor ever en-
joyed bv q citizen, and that is to march Up
Pennsylvania avenue on the first day OF
May to assert your rights as American
freemen. You are now dismissed for the
day"
During the afternoon Unknown" Smith
marched his men over the fair grounds and
went through break In the fence. They
were stopped by Oklahoma Sam, and told
to get out. which they did, Then Smith
sought out Browne in his tent, but was re-
pulsed and ordered off the premises. The
Coxeyites yelled. You are a traitor" :"
"Chuck him out" and Smith thereupon
relinquished his project of camping with
the main body.
The regular start for Brightwood will be
made at o'clock tomorrow morning, and
they expect to be there before noon. Coxey
has received from Alfred Love, president,
and Charles K. Kaiser, vice-president of

phia, letter expressing sympathy with

taken to preserve the peace.
