Bonus Men Hurled
 Bricks At Evictors
(Continued from Page 1)

Many men remained at Camp Marks. They seemed to be in an ugly mood. Bonus army author. ities appeared to be doing what they could to avert serious situa- tion. Commander Walter Waters had counselled the Pennsylvania avenue squatters early today to leave the prescribed buildings without disorder and most of them followed his advice.
 Bonus "M. P.'s" were disarming their own men at Camp Marks. The seized "arms" were clubs. The ex- odus from Camp Marks to Wash- ington was diminishing rapidly in volume before the war department, but many men already had crossed the trouble scene.
 The brick fight lasted 10 minutes.
 One policeman was sent to hos pital.
 A few minutes before the battle of bricks police announced noth- ing more would happen until 1:45 D. m., explaining that police had to eat lunch like anyone else and that treasury agents who served the eviction order had to report to headquarters for further instruc- tions.
 Authorized leaders of the bonus army offered every assistance to police authorities in quelling the disturbance. When bricks ceased falling the men from Camp Marks, Anacostia. were concentrated across the street and behind the "repossessed' National Guard Armory. It was from that point that the first rush came. It was estimated 2,000 men were there.
 Glassford took personal com mand of his bluecoated troops. He occupied the lea of shanty in company with squad of police. /
 A brick hit Glassford in the chest. Policemen were bowled over here and there by the lumpy mis- sles Glassford threw no bricks nor was he hurt. A marcher chal- lenged the general to personal com bat.
 "Get that guy" said the chief.
 Two policemen descended on the challenger and took all the fight out of him before he was loaded into a patrol wagon for jail. Scores of men were seiezd ana hauled away during the skirmish- ing.
 Some estimates of the number of persons gathered at the riot scene were as high as 5000.
 Glassford. Waters and othsr bonus army leaders sought priva~y in one of the veterans novels for a conference when the fighting was ended. Glassford went in without his gold badge of office. The brick had knocked it off.
 White House gates were slammed shut and extra guards were put around the presidents < home and office.
 At Third street and Pennsylvania avenue there was oratory.
 Keep your heads. You guys" counseled Jack o'Brien, comman- der of the sixth regiment from southern states.
 "is your name waters?" some- one yelled.
 "No." said o'Brien.
 A marcher shouted that Waters probably was around "seliins ua out somewhere" Tn the Waters-0 0iassford confer ence. waters blamed the so.caiIed Left Wing" for the riot. He said he could not control the men. 0iassford warned him that the bonus army situation was becom. | Ing increasingly serious and that police could not be expected in. definitely to restrain themselves.

The committee recommended the resignation of the welfare board of that city the members to be replaced by prominent citizens who should be responsible for the work. The part of the report mention Mir Harris reads as follows: Secondly, we recommend that 8 qualified man be hired to supervise the relief work, man trained in the busi- ness, and if we are unable to ob- tain such a man we should en- deavor to get someone such as MT Harris of Waterbury or Mir Thorne of Bridgeport on a part time basis to organize the work"
 The recommendation of MT Har- ris followed & report on study of the relief system as operated in Waterbury. The committee also studied Bridgeport's system.

American and British SO- ciety Woman, Her Son and German Prince Are Victims of the Crash

Farnham, England, July 28- CUP)-The wreckage of an air. plane, reduced to matchwood, holds the secret cause of the crash which killed Mrs Emily Bosom, prominent member of American and British society, her Son Bruce, 21, the pilot, and Prince Otto Won Erbach Furstanaur of Germany, 23.
