RIFLE SHOWN Jury
AS BONUS WEAPON
Shells Also Exhibited by Sur
prise WitneSs-Dug Up
at Camp Marks.

A SCARED German Mauser rifle and
several shells were exhibited today be-
fore the District grand jury In support
OF testimony by surprise witness that
the California contingent of the Bonus
Army was armed with 80 rifles during
their stay at Camp Marks, Anacostia.
Two other witnesses, who, like the
third, are World War veterans and
former members of the B. E. F., ap-
peared before the grand jury to testify
concerning pistols and guns which they
have told the Department of Justice
were seen in billets at Third street and
Pennsylvania avenue, where rioting
later broke out.
A fourth veteran, who has made afi-
davits that he saw seven and a half
sticks Of dynamite and a number of
decorating caps at Camp Marks was
prevented from testifying by illness
Nugent Dodds, assistant attorney gen.
eral, in charge of the Federal investi-
cation Of the bonus riots, said the
man, who lost lung as a result of
war injuries, suffered a hemorrhage
and was taken TO Mount Alto Hospital
Rife Was Dug Up.
The rifle, with part Of its stock
burned off, presumably by the fire which
devastated the camp during the evacu-
aticn movement last July, was dug up
on the site Of Camp Marks within the
past few days." Dodds disclosed. The
shells were found at the same time.
The grand jury Is understood to have
been told by William Edward Manning,
colored, ex-fireman (third class, United
States Navy, that the gun and shells
were part of an arms supply which
included not only enough rifles for a
platoon, but "a large box of ammuni-
ton" with which to load them.
Manning first made a written state
ment to that effect in the presence of
Inspector o. T. Davis of the Police De-
partment, who turned the statement
over to Dodds.
Manning declared he knew where one
of the guns was buried and officers &C
companied him to the spot and assisted
in digging. The Mauser was found
where the former sailor indicated it
had been hidden.
Thinks Others Taken Away.
The witness said he was not aware
of the disposition made of the other
rifles, but presumed they were taken
away when the camp was abandoned
The stained and fire-marked gun
was taken to Dodds' Office in the De-
partment of Justice this morning by
Manning and several officers. The
group, with the gun wrapped in paper,
went direct from the Department of
Justice to the grand jury room.
According to the affidavit in the
possession of the Government, Manning
was in Los Angeles on May 19 last
when he was invited" by chance ac-
quaintance to join the bonus march,
then being planned. He went to Port
land, Greg, and joined a group of 200
other former soldiers, who embarked by
freight for Washington.
Came With First Unit.
He said he arrived here June 6 with
the pioneer" Oregon unit, which later
welded great influence in directing the
administration of the affairs of the
bonus army.
On or about July 18, Manning as
serted, he first saw the rifles and am
munition, and he swore they were kept

PARIS, September 9.-Eforts to sup
plement Anglo-American and Franco
British understanding by better Franco
American relations with a view to seek
ing peaceful and constructive solutions
of outstanding international problems,
are going forward apace.
Acting on the unofficial advice Of
certain influential Americans, the
French Government seems formally to
have decided to pay the next war debt
annunity due to the United States De-
cember IS, together with a years back
payments withheld under the Hoover
moratorium-a total of some $40, ,000,-
600. 1t will therefore not seek to take
advantage of the additional moratorium
facilities contained in Franco-American
debt-funding agreement.
Seek Favorable U. S. Opinion.
This action, which will be unpopu-
lar here, seems to have been determined
in conjunction with Great Britain for
American opinion prior to the reopening
of the entire debt question after the
American elections.
In the course of the Franco -Ameri-
can negotiations yesterday for a new
commercial treaty, which are being &C
lively pursued here, the French agreed
to lift Immediately the embargo placed
OH fruit imports from the United
States a year ago. American apples
ana peaches will therefore be admitted
again beginning October /.
On Sunday there will be a big
Franco American celebration on the
Marne battlefield. Speeches by Am
bassador Walter E. Edge for the United
States and Premier Edouard Herriot
for France are expected to be of great
international Importance 1t is be-
lieved that both will emphasize the
universally of the new American doc
trine that no forcible seizures of other
peoples territory will henceforth be
recognized.

Today or tomorrow Senator David
A. Reed, accompanied by Edge, will be
received informally by Herriot. While
neither Reed nor Edge has been spe-
ciflcally charged with a mission. 1t is
believed that Reed will explain to Her

in the latest Far Eastern developments.
1t is hoped that France will be able
