Thirty minutes after midnight Miles announced his mission had been [• virtually carried out." A United Press survey of th" bonus <amps showed Camp Marks deserted but for troops at 2 15 a.m. A few stragglers were gathering at the "left-wing" cantonments of John Pace back of the agriculture department.

khaki were In silouhette against i ‘the flames. "Look out there buddy,” they 1 jShouted friendly warning to expior-1 ers. "There’s gas in them hills.” [I There was, too. A brisk wind 1 had not yet dissipated the fumes, j 1 A quarter moon hung abovp the! 1 desolate scene. A haze of reddish , ’ smoke billowed over the Hats. Up- 1 right timbers of what a few hours! 1 before had been huts stood black I and foi bidding agulnst the back-1 f ground of Haine. Through the’ 1 smoke and across the eastern [' brunch of the Potomac twinkled' three red beacons high in the air.! 1 They eaped each of the masts of! the frigate Constitution. "Old lron-| sides" of song and story. Through 1 the rigging of that venerable ves-l’ sei gleamed the illuminated white! 1 dome of the capitol. The subdued rustle off to one side ' of the camp marks entrance identified the cavalry picket line. Horses were at rest. Troops biv ouacked on the flats tonight. Small ! military details helped guard the ( fire blackened area on Pennsylvania avenue where the veteran. William J. Hushka was shot to death yesterday. Scores of police were 1 there, too. Military authorities ■ plan to restore the occupied areas ’ |to police control as soon as poss- 1 ible. Spectators and bonus veterans [ I suffered alike in the minor person--lal violence attending mi’itary oc[cupation of the three ctimps. There 1 were saber nicks and gouges a- ' (plenty. The government smote the bonuseers- with horse and foot and .they were routed. Tear gas billow- < d always ahead of advancing (troops. Fire followed in their ipath. Army officials said squatters fired their own shacks, in some inistinces that was true but flames ! also were set by soldiers. I A few hovels escaped the flames iat Camp Marks. The Pennsylvania 'avenue camp near the capitol was I wrecked beyond repair. The "left wing" settlement was not further hahitah'e when the military occu-1 pation was over. "Nine children here" proclaimjed a sign on a burning hut at Camp | Marks. All had fled. A veteran! rushed in. He came out with a I 1 child's sail boat fit for mild breezes |on the nearby eastern branch. He

dropped the boat beside a young- [ ster’s abandoned scooter and plung- < ed in again. That time he retrieved a complete oil stove. A half naked camper, pitifully intoxicated, staggered among the crowd. He clutched to his hairy | breast an oil lamp. That appeared to be all he had in the world. Flight from Camp Marks seemed to be endless. Police roared up with sirens wailing shortly before 9 p. m. Spectators gathered in hundreds around the back entrance to the camp. The good folk of Anacostia and the young folk who hadn't the slightest idea what it was all about but were hoping there would be a band, were out in force. Tear gas bombs and pistols quick- [ ly sent them flying. In a few min-! utes troops clattered across the i bridge. Naked bayonets le<l the I way. The infantry detail whee'ed i smartly into the camp. Cavalry I was close behind. At the other end I of the cheerless place the exodus already had begun Women and children went first./ Rickety automobiles puffed up the rutted, steep inc’ine leading to Anacostia pavements. They ran out of gas on the hill. Ropes attached to ramshackle trailers broke and let the rear sections of those convovs ro’l blundering back down the hill. (tangs of men swung by singing "Pack Up Your Troubles” and other songs that sounded from younger throats some years ago along the white-dusted roads of France. Some men cursed. i “What the hell," said Commander Atwill. “Wecan't fight an army." And in a spirit of "what the hell," the bonus army left. They said they didn't know where they were ! going. Some got just outside the c nip and squatted on the curb. At ' midnight the entrance to a five and ten cent store on Nichols avenue. I : Anacostia, had become the home I of a family. Five children lay [ asleep on a li’anket. Two others were awake. Their parents stood by unable to say where the brood would sleep tonight. “Oh. what shall we do," wailed p woman. None could tell her the answer to that question which was arising audib'y or otherwise to every

squatter's tongue. In a vacant lot near what had j been the family quarters of Camp Marks there were 50 women, per-1 haps 7o children. Some of the! women were crying and hysterical.! Others were calm. The children slept or gazed wide-eyed at the fire. There was no fear in their faces but neither was there comprehen i sion In those childish eyes. Brigadier Pelham D. Glassford.' superintendent of police, walked ’ through the camp. Women hurried ; to him. "Mr. Giassford, what have we' done? What are we going to do?" Glassford could not tell them. One of the fleeting squatters pro ! duced a harmonica. He tootled an uncertain tune, punctuated by the puffing exertion of hill climbing, as ■ he moved ahead of the infantry, bayonets. I' President Hoover went to bed with Camp Marks blazing. MacArthur was able to make a report ‘ of progress at 11 p. tn. MacArthur . with Secretary of War Hurley met the press and detailed maneuvers ot the military. The coirm._n!ty u. .-»racostia' spent a sleepless night. '1 tie nois.‘ ! and the movement and the possibility of gunfire was too great at : obstacle to sleep. W. W. Waters, commander-in-chief of the bonus army, issued U bristling statement: "Every drop of blood shed today or that which may be shed as the | aftermath of today's events," said i he, "can be laid directly at the ■ threshold of the White House. "If driven from Washington, the B E. F. will mobilize elsewhere and . continue its fight for justice for the veterans and the common peo- [ pie of the United States. We have' gone too far to quit now.” Camp Commander Atwill echoed j Waters. “We alnt’ looking for no revolu-i tion," he said. "We came here after a bonus. 1 can’t tell my people to stay here and fight. They’d [ ibe men killed on both sides and:

[women and children on ours. What [the hell. So 1 told ’em to get out. \That con'd 1 do.” A few hours earlier Atwill had [promised in a speech that he would kill the first man who crossed the line Into the family quarters. None crossed it until the area had been cleared of Its pitiful population. “Tin soldiers," screamed a vcteratf at the younger men in uniform who were forcing him out of ' his make shift home. "Well be back." promised another. "They’ll get medals for this,” [shouted a shabby inau. Spectators Isroed the troops. They were particularly severe durling the Pennsylvania avenue engagement when tear gas and the quick movement of horses scatterJed the spectators and veterans alike [from the area. The troops took ■ the boos as they took their job—iwithout much change of expression. Across the river from Washington in Fort Myer were concentrated 1.200 to 1.400 reserve troops. They were made up of infantry | from Camp Meade and engineers from Fort Humphreys. On Maci Arthur's recommendation, Glassford doubled his police guards generally I throughout the disturbed areas of the city. Across the eastern branch bridge the military placed an almost impassable barrier. None could pass except those for whom Glassford or an army officer could vouch. First were tanks, then cavalry and then more cavalry. A quarter of |a mile beyond the Washington eml [of the bridge a police line held the 'curious in check. There were occasional fights among the waiting crowds. The c'osed bridge shut off the most direct entry of the ! squatters to the capital. Another bridge lay some distance I upstream. It, too. was closed. The veterans and their families were , being shunted off into the state of : Maryland. State police got busy.

The Frederick, Maryland, barracks detail was ordered to the Washington area. Maryland authorities determined the bonus army should not loiter in that state. The high way department probably will sup uly truck transportation for oil who desire It to the Pennsylvania line. I The men hope to fall back on | Johnstown, Pa., and reform their [ ranks. They promised to come! again. WALKER’S I ATE WITH ROOSEVELT CONTINUED FROM PAGF? ONE fore could not legally be made the basis of the present action. However. he answered every charge in detail. Those charges were that Walker had received almost a million dollars in gifts during five years on a salary of about $150,000. Walker admitted gifts or sharing in Joint

tiHding account* amounting to al II moat $300,000. i Some $245,000 of thia was re i reived from the Haul Block u<count. Testimony was that Walker and Block were old friends, that , Block's young son wondered if , I Walker could live on his salary, and , j that Block, us the result, opened [the account. Walker said that under the law,, [ he was liable for any losses by the [ [account. Therefore, he argued, he' was entitled to his share of the [ profits. The city. Walker said, had nothing Block needed. As to charges that he promoted , legislation for pus companies andjj taxicab interests, he said: , "No such legislation was ever l l enacted. No conclusion or anal-1 ysis can change that fact.” Concerning the hearings of the Hi fstadter committee, Walker i wrote: h “Thousands of witnesses were questioned in private and secret i

hearings. With it all, at the end, not one witness had accused the mayor. “He (Seaburyl was unable to find or charge that J had caused the wrongful expenditure or loss ol a single dollar to the people of the city of New York out of upward of five billions ot dollars exI ended during my whole administration as mayor.” Then Walker Included this comment on the white-haired Seabury, who worked months in digging up records and evidence that pointed to the mayor's enormous expenditures, that built up a circumstantial case not only against the mayor but against Tammany Hall, dictator of New York city politics; "A vicious formula permeates the Seabury analysis and conclusions. A suspicion or innuendo is projected. Facts in the record are ignored. Such a formula files in the face of common sense and common decency."
