B. E. F. LEADER WANTS RULE BY PEOPLE'S VOICE W. W. Waters Explains His Hopes in Organizing Khaki Shirts. By l nilrd I‘rr’t NEW YORK. Aug. 11.—It won't be revolution, hut it will be education—and the people's voice. Its ideals and platform arc a little muddled yet, but it will "watch those men in Washington, and see that they shoot straight..’’ Thus, a ‘"common people's lobby,” was outlined here over a cup of black coffee in the subterranean coffee shop of the Times Square hotel by W. W. Waters, commander of the bonus expeditionary force. Already in process of formation through the Khaki Shirts, this lobby will have an effective strength of 10,000,000 votes by November, Waters believes. Waters, himself, does not want office in or out of it, he says. Prevent Economic Slavery ‘Man, I am an American,’" exclaimed the curly-haired, tall. lean. , hard, clean-shaven young Oregon- j ian. “I love this country. That's all I know. But I don t. want to see this country get into the hands of crooks. He speaks in a low-pitched, slight- j ly-drawling voice, but his jaw was I out and his sensitive lips curled as he told of his plans. ' I don't want the American people put, in abject economic slavery,” asserted the "'commander, who admits that he didn't get much education, doesn't know much about politics, but. by Jupiter, knows what he likes and knows a crooked deal when he sees one. Not Advocating Revolt ’"l’m emphatically not advocating revolution,” he said. “I'm not even advocating a yiird party. This is a two-party country. It's all set up that way. “I’m for intelligent use of the ballot box. I'm advocating watching those men in Washington, and seeing that they shoot straight. And bouncing them out at election time if they don't. “That means organization, and that's the common people's lobby I'm talking about.” Specifically, the lobby would operate through the Khaki Shirts. “Just write them,” says Waters, “and they will tell you what to do.” Two points constitute the platform —"Return of the government to the j people,” and “economic justice for j all.” Waters is not ready to say just j how these things are to be accom- j plished, but he is certain that a i start has been made. ‘Won in Washington” “I tell you we won in Washington! My leaders weren’t after the paltry dollars of the bonus. What we wanted was to show Washington the condition of the people, to show : them that something had to be done. { “And once we got there the poli- j ticians certainly moved. There was more conrwructive legislation put through during our stay than there had been in a year before. "But it isn't enough, the people want new ideas, new blood, new’ men in the jobs. We’re going to use the ballot box to put them there."
Court Order Bans Home Burning to Evict Wife
Restraining Edict Is Issued Against Man in Dispute on House Ownership. John Ullrich must not set fire to his residence to evict his wife, Alice, whom he is suing for a divorce, Superior Judge Joseph E. Williams has ordered. A restraining order to this effect was issued Tuesday. While the divorce case is pending, the couple is disputing ownership of their home at 18*1 East Maryland street. The divorce suit was filed since July 22. Since then, the Ullrichs have lived ‘ separately,” in the same house. It was the property of Mrs. Ullrich before they were married. Ullrich claims he has spent considerable money repairing the house, and paying the mortgage on it. His wife denies this, stating the mortgage went on after the wedding. The husband asks $6,000 alimony, charging "cruel and inhuman treatment.” He alleges Mrs. Ullrich sought his arrest on a lazy husband charge. Ullrich is restrained by Judge Williams’ order from removing any furniture, except a chair and an easel. He has expressed determination to remain in the house until it is given him by the court, or his wife leaves. The wife's suit charged her husband had threatened to burn the residence.
