avenue camp in an hour and three
quarters. They used quantities Of
tear gas and set that section of the
city into confusion.
Next they cleared two camps near
the department of agriculture.
At 9 p. m. they moved on the
main bonus camp on the Anacostia
flats. BY midnight 1t was cleared.
In each case the huts which the
veterans used for shelter were
burned. The evening around Ana
costa was made hideous by the
flames which silhouetted the fig
ures of fleeing bonus marchers
and the crisp, grim soldiery.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, chief
of staff of the army, personally di-
rected the operations.
Today the bonus men, scattered,
were huddled in doorways, strag-

WASHINGTON, July 20. = Steel
helmeted United States infantry
men in the early hours of today
prodded out of blazing Camp Marks
on the Anacostia flats the last,
stumbling stragglers of the evacu-
ating bonus army. The siege of
the bonusers is lifted.
Tanks, cavalry and tear gas
backed the foot troops. A crazy
illumination danced from hundreds
of burning huts. Machine guns
were ready and waiting.
In line of skirmishers, scores
abreast, the doughboys moved
slowly through the flame flecked
field. Their front spread over half
mile. Ahead of them trudged the
rear guard of the bonus army, 4
pitiful, ridiculous. hopeless, home
less crew, their backs bent beneath
the weight of their worldly goods.
Their ranks were depleted by the
toll of police fire and street riot
ing yesterday in which one vet
eran was killed and go OF more
persons were hurt.
Bayonets flashed in the fire
light. 1t was the big Parade" all
over again. But there was no
shooting. A bonus veteran lost an
ear-tribute to the sure arm of
horseman with a saber. But that
ear was Topped off in the early
afternoon. Camp Marks capitulated
without blow. The soldiers came
and the bonus army left-where
no one knows.
Two tanks rurnbled behind the
foot troops. Right through the
fire went these steel monsters,
snouts of machine guns poked
through their ugly, squat coming

(By United Press

The United States army, In nine
hours and using about 900 men,
drove the bonus army of 1000 from
Washington.
The army went into action at
3 p. m. yesterday when District of
Columbia commissioners reported
to President Hoover that the police
could not cope with the situation.
AT midnight the last of the bonus
camps with the exception of Camp
Bartlett, which is on private prop
erty, was evacuated.
Casualties were one dead and
upwards of 60 police, soldiers,
civilians and bonus veterans in
jured by gunshots, bricks and gas.
The eviction really began at
10 a. m. when treasury agents
"repossessed" the old national guard
armory on Pennsylvania avenue.
The first disorder of serious pro-
portions was at noon when vet
Grams and police engaged in a
10-minute brick battle.
Some two hours later a veteran
was killed when police and bonus
army members clashed again and
police used their revolvers.
1t was then the army was
called out.

CUT
COUNTY TAXES

BALTIMORE, Dec. 28.-Charles
and Calvert counties are among
those in the State which, having
pared general expenses to the
bone and reduced the tax rates,
are hoping for additional aid on
road and schools maintenance
through the general assembly at
the coming session.
Putting a stringent general
economy program into effect, Cal
vert county, according to William
S. Ward, president of the board
of county commissioners, Topped
"a cents from the tax rate, bring
ing the 1932-1933 rate to So.
Charles county has cut the rate
from $1.35 to $1.25. These reduc-
tions have been effected without
reduction of salaries which in
most instances are fixed by law.
Schools and roads are the largest
items in the counties bills, Off
cials said.

SCHOOL SYSTEM.
REVISION ASKED
IN VIRGINIA
Education Body Work Would
Be Switched to Board
of Supervisors

Revision of the educational sys-
tenn of Virginia which would do
away with present school boards
and reduce the number of Sec
tional superintendents is a move
now pending before State Off
cials, it was disclosed today.
Although the move has been
proposed for some time, it was
thought no such action would be
taken. However, with tax collec-
tions reduced and the possibility
that schools in some sections Of
the State will be forced to close
early, there is every likelihood TIE
suggestions will be adopted, it was
learned today.
Under the economy plan, as
proposed, the work now being
done by school boards would be
transferred to the local boards OF
supervisors; the work being done
by clerks of the board would be
transferred to the office of clerk
of the court, while the number of
superintendents would be cut
practically in half.
1t is estimated this move will
save thousands of dollars annually
and would prevent closing of
schools due to lack of funds.
A special committee of the
State legislature is now probing
the matter. Recently DR.. Sidney
B. Hall, State director of educa-
ton, said there was a grave posi-
bility that schools in some se3-
tions of the State would close un-
less tax collections materially in

 If it isn't raining at 5 p. m. today, the rnuch-discussed postpon- ed Moose -Elks ball game of last Sunday will be played tonight. That is the dictim of the League management. gI a s,sa
 Sunday it was raining at 5 o'clock, but at 5s30 there had been considerable improve ment. The Moose showed up. but the Elks had the foresight to call up League officials and :, ascertain that the game would be postponed. At midafternoon today, the indi- cations were. unlikely that there would be any game tonight. The weather lacked lot of being base minded and showed no signs of turning in that direction. The Elks were ready to play, but the Moose seemed to prefer delay since it was not. likely they could as- semble a full-strength team. How eyer, the game is slated. If it isn't raining at five, and doesn't rain too much after that hour, the game will be played.

 Rivers and Harbors
 | More than $1,00o,0O0 were ex- Ipended on Rivers and Harbors fprcjects in Alaska during the past Hive years, including shelter har- bors at Ketchikan Seward and Port Alexander, Wrangell Narrows dredging and erection of founda- tions for beacons there; Nome har- bor improvements and mainten- ance, and numerous engineering investigations on proposed works, some of which were approved and are pending and others rejected.
 Its miscellaneous work covered the care of Sitka National Gene tery, the Juneau Government wharf and small boat float, pro- motion of the radio telephone cir cult between St. Michael and Mar shall and other activities. such as cooperating with Chambers of Commerce in Alaska publicity cam paigns, having charge of exposi- tion exhibits, administration of fish traps, annual budget activities.
 Expenditures Were Large During the period covered, Maj Elliott estimated the Commission had expended $6,250,000 exclusive of Rivers and Harbors, which add ed more than another sl 100000. It derived funds from Congress, con- tributions, the Interior Department, the Quartermaster Corps of the Army, Territorial appropriations and the Rivers and Harbors funds.
 Effective discharge of these du- ties, he said was made possible by the loyal and efficient co-op- eration of the Commissions staff to whom he expressed his apprec- iation, the Governor and other Territorial officials, Chambers of Commerce over the Territory and other organizations and individ- uals.
 "Our personal relations have been most pleasant here, and I desire to thank particularly this Cham Der of Commerce for this tribute and many other happy occasions here,' he declared in conclusion.

 Belgrano has successfully climb ed the Legion ladder, giving his time wholeheartedly and unselfish- ly to building up the organization in the cause of World War veter. ans He has been post adjutant, post commander, county council commander, state membership chairman and state commander. To each of these offices he brought practical experience and left each with recognized accomplishments His administrations stand out in California Legion circles and his efforts in increasing membership have been unsurpassed. While chairman of the finance committee of the Legion Publishing Company he demonstrated his financial abil- ity by turning a large deficit into surplus which led to his present appointment to membership on tha national finance committee.
 In business life Belgrano has made a marked success. He is pres ident of two insurance companies 8 bank vice-president and director in several other business organt zations.
