one circumstances which may interfere
with the general plans of Gen. Coxeys
marching programme at Washington City.
Il has been stated that the object OF his
bridging his army hers is to assemble is
on the stairs OF the capitol on May tor
the purpose Of impressing its views upon
congress. To do this il viii DO nec-
essary to first secure authority from
congress, as there are specific acts
upon the statute books forbaddinx
the assembling Of crowds in the
capitol or IN the capitol grounds. or the
holding Of any public meeting except the
sessions OF congress and the assemhiages
which are incident to the inauguration OF
a president. Congress has always shown
itself very jealous Of the general use OF the
capitol building and grounds, and de-
rarsurs in favor of Coxey's brigade Is most
unlikely. The commissioners Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia have not considered, a.
board. the impending invasion Of Coxey's
army. Commissioner Ross today said:
''It is hard to believe that sensible peo-
pie viii enter into such move. II it Is
body that threatens the peace. ii Is sup
posed that the governors Of states viii
arrest its progress. We will probably not
take any action until we hear that the
body has started. When We hear that it
has actually started and is moving on
Washington City. instructions will be
given TO tho police to properly deal with
them"
CINCINNATI, March 23.--If all the re-
sources of Gen. Coxey's commonwealth

James s. Coxey. the commander in chief
of the army of unemployed. who proposes
walking to Washington City and making
demands on congress. owned farm In
this vicinity q few years ago. His reputa-
ton here is not Of the best. Coxey came

Givins. . prominent real estate man of
Chicago, writes saying that he and num-
Der of other real estate men are getting up

warded smaller amounts and Endorsed the
movement.
CLEVELAND, March 2S-Some of the
Cleveland letters received by Coxey at
Massilion, offering him men and supplies,
are bogus. There we're no houses at two
of the addresses given, and at the other
places the people had not written to
Coxey.

sided her two years ago and was employed

ing. owing to the discouraging reports
which have shaken their confidence.
Evans. however. is moro pronounced in
his promises. lie has received bushels OF
letters of offers of assistance. many OF
which are from cranks who give vacant
expressions as TO the army. 1t is under
