 Everything had been ready to have 1000 men depart from the Ferndale siding of the B. and O. railroad at, 8 o'clock, eastern stand- ard time. At the appointed hour, 15-day coaches were on hand. But no men appeared.
 Military police swept through the camp, and picked up. thousands of the mimeogra phed papers. Although the bulletin was signed by the Ex-Service Mems League, there was no way of learning who had handled distribution of the documents.
 Groups of men had gathered to discuss whether or not they should leave. Finally Edward Atwell, new chief of staff, arrived and took charge of the situation. He ordered unit commanders of Vest ern divisions to get their men lined up in the road outside the camp Immediately t'i 7
 Approximately 800 men then formed in line.

Coyle Post Files Complaint Against
 Cars Presence Here
Leroy Brown, Driver of Machine and Salesman for Bonus Army Paper" Unable to Understand At- titude of Local Unit-POlice Superintendent Orders Machine Parked Off Main Streets

The troubles of the Bonus Ex- Deditlonary Force now temporarily quartered at Johnstown. Pa. after its tragic retreat from Washington, D. C., are not confined exclusively to the main camp. They famed up ln a local sector to-day when its fpraging parties ran into an un- expected rebuff from the Ameri- can Legion.
 Leroy Brown of Cherry street, one Of the two "buddies" securing Connecticut in their little car seek ing donations for food, clothing or Ti6aay, visited the Democrat office and asked the all-important ques- tion "Why has the American Le- zion in Waterbury butted in and filed a complaint against us? Aren't they with us?"
 Apparently not, for 1t was later learned that representatives of Cor poral Frank Coy1e Post filed complaint with Superintendent of

Police Joseph H. Mclean intimat- ing that the actions of the two service men In selling papers on the street and soliciting money weyse not warranted and not ap- prcSved by local officers.
 superintendent Mclean, battle- scarred veteran of many fights of local history, decided that he was not going to be caught between tive warning forces. He heard the 1ee,aon's complaint and then he checked up on the other side of the story, MT Browns version.
 Following a nice, friendly chat at police headquarters this morn- ing the superintendent made one request and that was to the effect that the much lettered car with chalk marks of town and cities visited, with snappy slogans and comsments, Heroes of 1917-1918, Buns of 1882" etc, should be park ed somewhere besides a busy tlforoalghfare. The machine has been left parked and used as newsstand in some of tbe busiest streeta of the city and often in violati1n of the parking ordinance.
 Al to whether the B. E. F. rep resentastives have right to solicit money as ex-servicemen or are working in opposition to the wishes of the legion. the sunerintcrdent had nothing to say. Brown, how ever, produced money oruer le- ceipt and two from a telegraph office to prove that he had for warded to the main headquarters of the bonus army nearly $50 col- lected i'm this vicinity within a weeks time.
 We abe working for the boys who with their families are starv- ing down in the big camp. They are the same boys who were routed out of Washington with bayonets and tear bombs. Before any of the legion men around here start yell ing about ns why don't they go down to the camp and see condi- tions. We are ex-servicemen and we have a right to put our cause up to the public," Brown declared to-day.
 When asked if he thought the army would disband and it's mem- berss return home, Brown stated that the army would never break lip until the bonus has been paid. He claims that hundreds will stick to the end.

FIERY McCLOsKEY

sJohnstown. Pa, Aug 4.-(UP)-- Round, red-haired ex-prize fighter, Mayor Eddie McCloskey of Johns- town, today disbanded the bonus expeditionary force, something congress, the administration. and regular army troops failed to do.
 The mayors entreaties, loud arguments. rough eloquence, and two-fisted threats did the work. He had no force behind him, but he knew his men. and that apparently was most important.
 Invited here by McCloskey, the B. E. F. dug in. Then came a threat of pestilence and starvation. National Commander W. w. Waters failed to obtain a permanent camp site in Maryland.
 McCloskey took charge and con- suited no one.
 "The B. E. F. must leave Johns- town" he ordered.
 There were murmurs of rebel lion. Waters had. issued orders to disband, but the rank and file re- fused to believe them.
 The mayor went personally to the camp and told the army of the situation. He pleaded, in rough language but eloquently. to Ego home" then added he'd kick the teeth down any mans throat" who defied him.
 He was cheered. A roaring crowd of 5000 made him an honor ary member of the B. E. F.
 The bonuseers voted unanimous ly to disperse and go home.

Hoover Changes
 Cabinet Again

cant for two reasons. One is econ omic. The other is political.
 Economically, the administration believes the turn has come. It Is afraid to make another optimistic prediction but hopes are going up daily. At this decisive time Chap in, an aggressive organizer, sales man and promotion man, with bus mess contacts extending far beyond the automobile industry, is brought into the department of commerce. His job is to stimulate activity and key up shell-shock business. Just before he was appointed, Chapin issued statement predicting bet ter times.
 Lamont was practically retired business man when he was ap- pointed at the start of MT Hoover's term. His numerous industrial dir ectorships were held as a capitalist rather than as an active hard-hit- ting business go-getter. He was content to let the department of commerce carry on under its own momentum. Dr Julius Klein, as- sistant secretary, was the chief en- ergizing force. But Mir Hoover has been his own secretary of com merce.
 The second consideration is poll itical. Lamont was so .unimportant politically In his own state that when he was appointed one of the Illinois republican senators asked who he was. His political activity was nipped at his debut as {. cab inet member. He innocently told reporters, as he emerged from h.s first cabinet meeting, that he was director in the Association Against the Prohibition Amend ment.
 Lamont did not indicate any particular shame at being such a director, and the resulting head lines such as Hover cabinet mem- Der wet' caused the kindly gentle man to lose favor as political tower of strength around the White House. .a
 Chapin-and this is one of those delicate matters which it isp not considered good taste to mention above a whisper-has the ear of a good many business men who could. if they would. contribute to the republican campaign chest. He wouldn't solicit funds but he might be helpful" in a. general way.
 The Michigan automobile indus- try has been bitter against the new tax law because of the automobile taxes. Some who gave up to $2j,- 900 to MT Hoover four years ago have been muttering that they wouldn't give cent this year. Henry Ford is about theonly one of the Michigan automobile men who has declared for Mir Hoover.
 The six Fisher Body brothers gave him total of $100, 900 last year. There's gold in them thar folks. But thus far National Treas. urer ]. R. Mutt of Cleveland hasn't been able to dig much of 1t.
 There's also a good deal of dem. ocratic talk In Michigan. The state recently elected q democratic con- gressman in one district which hadn't gone democratic for thirty years. Key men arc being sought to pass the word down the line that vote for Mir Hoover will mean more automobiles on Michigan as. sombly lines. ,-
 Recently Mir Hoover from the White House Issued q formal statement urging the country to buy more automobiles. In 1928 the republicans talked about two cars for every garage. One would te sntisfac ctory this year.

WATERS REFUTEs HURLEY

Washington, Aug 4.-(UP)- Justice department agents inform ed police today that scattered groups of bonus marchers are still heading toward Washington.
 The agents said contingents en- route here included 40 at Louis- vile, Ky; 45 at Springfield, Ill; 30 at Chillicothe, O.; 40 at East St Louis. III; and 40 at Washington,
 Police were instructed to prevent any organized groups entering the city.
 Coincident with dispersal of the main bonus force at Johnstown, AZ men and women quietly abandoned the woodland tract near Waterbury, Md. on which Commander Walter Waters of the bonus army had hoped to build national encamp- nnent. The project was vetoed by Governor Albert c. Ritchie.
 Secretary of War Hurley late yesterday issued formal state- ment defending Hoover and the conduct of the troops who drove the bonus army out of the city and blaming "red agitators' for the rioting which led to troops being called.
 No one was injured after the coming of the troops" Hurley said, "and no property was destroyed ex- cept that which was destroyed by the marchers themselves. The duty of restoring law and order was performed with directness, with effectiveness and with unparal. leled humanity and kindness"
 Commander Waters of the B. E. F. denied Hurley's assertions. He said all panhandlers were elected from the organization.
 Regarding the charge that we harbored radicals" Waters con- tinued, T need only point to an or- der issued which warned members of the B. E. F. they must cease nanhandling radicals who crept into the organization"
