Gen. Glassford Regrets Tragic Turn
Of Events In EUacuQting Vets

Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford,
superintendent Of police, who for
two months has handled the
bonus army situation without
bloodshed either among police or
veterans, was compelled yester-
day, when Commander-in-Chief
Walter w. Waters admitted that
his men we're out of hand, to
turn the situation over to the
Federal troops under the COM
mand Of Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur.
When police began the process
Of evacuating veterans from the
camp at Third Street and Penn
Sylvania Avenue General Glass
ford was with his men. and he
was in the thick of the hand-to-
hand fighting that followed the
arrival of reinforcements to the
veterans from Camp Marks.
Hit Twice With Bricks
Glassford was hit twice with
bricks, and his badge was stolen
from him. Later, however, it was
returned.
When gunplay began later in
the afternoon, he narrowly es-
capped being shot by his own men,
according to witnesses of the oc'
currence. He had gone into one
of the buildings occupied by the
veterans, and policemen who fol-
lowed him at some distance were
greeted by menacing groups OF
veterans.
One of the policemen is said to
have been pushed down and tram
pied, whereupon Policeman George
Shinault drew gun.
In the resulting firing one vet
eran was killed and two men were
wounded. Glassford rushed back.
ordered that the shooting cease,
and narrowly escaped a bullet
from a policeman who, dazed by
blow from a brick. did not rec
ognize his chief.
Glassford regretted extremely
the tragic turn of events. He
said:
II handled the situation for
nearly two months without
blOodshed. In carrying out
orders 1 am sorry to say that
they resulted in two major
casualties"
Faces New Problem
After the military took control,
he expressed the view that the
chief problem of the police there
after would be to keep the 3. E.

Within few days a group of
citizens will endeavor to obtain

Formerly there was one full
route and partial route in Balls
ton. The partial route has been
done away with and the full
route heightened. This has made
it impossible for the present force

Glassford Orders Police to Return
To Regular Duty; Drafts Report

Police this noon were all or.

General Glassford said he would
make no attempt to evacuate
Camp Bartlett, where many vet
erans have taken refuge with
those already quartered there,
This tract is privately owned.
General Glassford was busy to-
day preparing a full report of
yesterdays rioting. which was to
go to the Commissioners this
afternoon.
Secretary of War Patrick j.
Hurley said today that most of
the veteran remaining here
could not qualify as veterans.
1t was also said that there
had been explosions during the
fires at Camp Marks and at the
Communist camps. these believed
due to ammunition concealed
there.
It was emphasized by military
authorities that Washington, de-
spite the presence of large num-

ing the night, but today, with
the veterans constantly harried
by troops in the District and re-
fused exit from the District, 1t
is admitted that possibilities Of
trouble remain.
Denies Calling Troops
General Glassford left head
quarters shortly before l o'clock
for conference with the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Previously Commissioners Lu-
ther H. Reichelderfer and Her
bert B. Crosby called on General
Glassford but found he was not
in. The Commissioners then re-
turned to the District Building.
Prior to the journey to the
District Building General Glass
ford prepared a statement deny
ing he had recommended the
calling out Of the troops. The
statement, however, was with
drawn by the police chief before
it reached the Commissioners.
Camp Simms Evacuated
Camp Simms, of the National
Guard Rifle Range, which has
been used by the bonus marchers
as field hospital. was evacuated
peacefully shortly after noon. No
troops were necessary, the ap-
proximately 100 veterans quar-.
tered there leaving when notified
by police they must get out.
At an early hour this afternoon,
Camp Bartlett, at Twenty-third
Street and Alabama Avenue
Southeast, was being rapidly
cleared of bonus marchers who
were trudging down the road or
moving off in automobiles of
their own volition. Police esti-
mated that only about 200 vet
Grams remained at the camp.

soldiers did not come out un-
Scathed.
A resume shows the injuries
receiving treatment were divided
as follows:

the veterans, two children of
veterans, one local youth, the son
of the assistant superintendent
of police; a New York city youth.

ISLANDERS; 16 policemen, and five
soldiers.
Police were instructed today to
search all veterans automobiles
in the city for tents loaned them
at the camps. Most of the tents
at Camp Marks were fired by vet
erans, but it is believed that about

was allowed to loiter on the South
side of Pennsylvania Avenue
Northwest, where most of the
veterans were billeted in the city.
1t is expected that work of de-
moHshing the brick structures
would begin today.
Many families quartered at
Camp GlasSford and in the area
south of Pennsylvania Avenue
were separated in the first tear
gas attack and some were appeal
ing to police for aid. Most Of
them were scantily clad and were
without food since yesterday.

Federal troops under Brig.
Gen. Perry L. Miles, were be-
ing concentrated at Camp
Marks, Anacostia, this after
noon for a second movement
against veterans still remain
ing in the downtown sections
of the Capital.
Many Men Return
Hundreds of the veterans
have returned to the central
part of Washington, and dur
ing the morning attempted to
set up some sort of a rude
camp about two blocks from
the point where the bonus
marchers and police first
clashed yesterday.
While General Miles was an
nouncing his arrangements, word
came that Maryland authorities
had rescinded their earlier order
and are now allowing the bonus
Inarchers to enter the State on
the Annapolis Road, which con-
meets with a road to Baltimore.
An hour after the Maryland
order, only 100 veterans remained
at Camp Bartlett. the only orr
ginal bonus camp on private
property, still occupied by the
veterans.
It is estimated that 300 veterans
left the District in the first two
hours after the Annapolis Road
was declared open.
Sleep On Grass
Last night, many of the evicted
men slept on the grass in vacant
tracts. The few beds rescued
from the flames we're turned over
to the women and children. To
day, those who had automobiles,
were for the most part quitting
Washington for unrevealed desti-
nations.

Profits, Taken Out in Last
Two Years, Wiped Out

NEW YORK, Aug. 4 (LN.S.).

more than $7,O0O,OO0,0O0 to
the value Of all shares listed
on the New York Stock Ex-
change, has cost the big Wall
Street bears several of the
many millions in profits they
have taken out Of the market
in the last two and a half
years.
The ranks of the big 10 bears
we're split at the time of the Sen
ate's investigation into the stock
market. Two or three of the
group cashed in their profits,
made on the short side, and
stepped to the sidelines, or turned
bulls.
Loss of Millions
The others have remained true
to their cause and have stubbornly
resisted the present advance which
some of their converted brethren
are engineering. The result has
been loss of millions, estimated
anywhere from 10 to 25, of the
profits of these die-hard bears.
The advance has been SharpeSt
in those issues in which the big
bears have been the most active.
American Telephone, in which
several bears are known to be
short as an investment, has
climbed more than $27 share
since early in July.
The market swept ahead into

4 QN.SD D-Stewart w arnk k n,
who assisted in the three futile
searches for the gun which killed
Zachary Smith Reynolds, was
called as a witness today before
the grand jury considering the
mystery death of the 2O-year-old
heir to $15,O00,000.
The revolver was found on the
fourth search of the sleeping
porch where young Reynolds was
fatally shot after a festive party.
It was in a conspicuous position.
The gun angle" of the inves-
tigation into the Reynolds death
has been considered by officials
as very important.
Placed There Later
All those who searched the
house after Reynolds died testl-
fled at the inquest that the re-
volver was not on the sleeping
porch during the first three ex-
aminations of that room.
Sheriff TranSou Scott declared
that the gun apparently was
placed there afterWard.
Warnken brought into the
