x Washington, July 28-(U. P.)- The bonus army, winner Of every eviction battle so far, planned a strategic retreat to downtown bil- lets to-day as result of President Hoover conferring with the mili- tary command for the use of troops to drive them out.
 Bonus Commander Walter Wa ters ordered 200 men to move this morning from condemned build ings on Pennsylvania avenue and go to Camp Bartlett, an outlying private tract about five miles from the center of the city.

HEAVY SHOWERS IN WATERBURY
 LAST EVENING
They Caused Some lnc0n= venience in Traffic and Telephones, But We Missed Bad Cyclones

The heavy showers, which visit ed Waterbury yesterday accom- plished much in relieving the eff fects of the prolonged drought, but failed to add apprecic bly, to the supply of water in the scity's prin. cipal reservoir, the Wigwam. The total amount of the precipitation as recorded by city officials was 1.47 inches, bringing the total for the present month up to 2.72. In other words yesterdays rainfall ex- ceeded the entire amount of rain recorded here during the entire month. In June the precipitation was 1.9S inches.
 Only two minor interruptions of electric service was reported here. No serious damages were reported by the street or water department, the Connecticut Company or the Telephone Company. There were several delays or Interruptions in the trolley service due to the rails being covered with sand in various sections of the city.
 According to reports serious dam- ages resulted in Glastonbury. East Hartford and Manchester, where a tornado, uprooted trees, damaged crops and caused damages in gen. eral amounting to thousands of dollars.

 Of Wendell Money
Thomas Patrick Morris
 Unfolds Weird Tale
 The Man From Dundee
 Is Not Pairing So Well Under Barrage of Wen- del Lawyer

New York, July 2S = CUP )-- Gaunt 62-year-old Thomas Patrick Morris, who claims to be the prin- cipal heir to the $75. 100000 Wen-. del estate, was to renew his fight for the fortune today as opposing counsel tried to pick flaws in his fantastic story.
 The Jobless Scot from Dundee defended his, claim in court yes-. terday in the face of heavy at- tack by John M. Harlan. trial counsel for the estate. Despite spells of angina pectoris and fn- tensive questioning by Harlan. Morris patiently reiterated that he was the son of the late John Gott. Heb Wendell by serret marriage.
 In Harlan's cross examination of Norris, he repeatedly questioned the Scot concerning alleged visits of Wendell to Scotland during the years 1885 to 1901. Morris had testified on the first day of his sensational appearance in cour. that Papa" Wendell. as he called him, had made frequent trips to see him there.
 Harlan announced he was pre- pared to prove by cheeks and let ters. said to be signed by Wende1i in New York that the asserted visits could not have been made Tn that period. Morris answered from the stand that he was greatly surprised" by Harlan's statement.
 The estate counsel then examin- ed Morris on his story of visit to the Wendell home in New York

FANS FAILED TO , SEE CARED AND
 FOR REASONS

New York, July 2S.-iUP)-- Roaring flames and a scare among some 5000 fans who thronged the piers to get look at Greta Garbo provided an exciting bon voyage early to-day for Mayor Anton Ger mak of Chicago. Greta was not present when the Bremen sailed; the dapper James J.. Walker mayor of New York, had been overlooked by the movie-struck fans when he left the ship, and Cermak probably missed the show because the Bre- men pulled out just before the panic. An electric transformer blew out with a roar as the gay merrymakers on the piers watched the vanishing lights of the Brc- men, and doubted the reports that Greta Garbo was not aboard.
 Flames lighted the murky wa ters for just a moment. The fire was extinguished. The pier was shrouded in darkness. Stevedores and steamship line officials led the movie fans to the street by the, flickering light of lanterns.
 Greta wasn't even named on the passenger list. Steamship officials denied that she had sailed. Even the popping flares of cameramen could not brighten the gloom which surrounded the duped throng.
