OMSIUNISTS and criminals among
the “honus marchers” in Wash-
ington finally accomplished their pur-
pose, bringing on a bloody conflict
with the police that made it
sary for President Hoover to call on
regular troops to order, In
the fighting veterans, a

army were Injured.
As explained by the President In a
public statement, the treasury offi-
cials had been for several days try-
Ing to get the veterans to evacuate
buildings that were to be demolished
in the government's construction pro-
gram. Thursday morning they did
leave tnose buildings but afterwards
several thousands of them attacked
the police and the rioting was con-
tinuod for hours. The district com-
missioners asked for help and by di
rection of Mr. Hoover 3,000 soldiers
from Fort Myer, equipped with tear
bombs and gas masks drove the vet-
erans from their camps and immedi
ately burned the shacks they had oc-
cupied. The main camp, at Anacostia
across the Potomac, was the last to
be razed, after all the women and
children had been removed.

AYOR JIMMY WALKER of New

Roosevelt his reply to the charges of
corruption and inefficiency made against
him by Samuel Seabury, who asked
the governor to remove the mayor

they were made and timed for political
purposes only.
