Eric Carlson, 38_year-old bonus . marcher from Oakland. Calif., died at 2 a. tn., of gun shot wounds. He was wounded in the same clash in which William J. Hushka, Chicago veteran, was almost instantly killed. Hushka was to be interred in the , peaceful slopes of Arlington at 11 [a. tn., with soldiers from Fort Meyer firing a salute from the same rifles they trained against his budIdies of the bonus army. It was believed similar military rites would be arranged for Carlson if his relatives desired. Authorities were communicating with a trother, John Carlson of Oakland. Hushka and Carlson were shot down last Thursday by policemen who were trying to clear bonus marchers out of their Pennsylvania billets. Police Superintendent Glassford said a group of veterans attacked the police with clubs. Glassford considered the shooting justified. It was shortly after this clash that troops were summoned and drove the entire bonus army out of its camps. Hushka's body lay this morning in a flag-drapdU casket in a funeral parlor, watched over by his 10-year-old daughter, Loretta; his divorced wife.
