THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, HOPE CONE, BONUS FORCE DEPARTIG Defeat of Trammell Proposal Exhausts Chances of Legislation. Their last hope for bonus legislation at this sessicn of Congress gone with the defeat of the Trammell amend- ment to pay one-half of the remaining $2,400,000,000 outstanding in adjusted service certificates, veterans of the Bonus Expeditionary Force continued today to pull out for home in large numbers. Police have reported that several thousand men have left since the Pat- man bonus payment bill was defeated in the Senate last week. Leaders of the bonus army, however, say camp commanders are permitting veterans to “leave on furlough.” Hundreds left the city this morning, scme in District refuse trucks, others in their own automobile and trucks, and many more by freight trains and the hitch-hike system. Veterans’ leaders charged police had been financing the return of the bonus “soldiers” out of the B. E. F. mess fund. As a result, the police obtained from an unknown benefactor all the money thus far spent for gag and oil and $500 more. Offers Cent-a-Mile Fare. ‘The lure of a ride home “on the cushions” was dangled temptingly be- fore the 19,000-odd veterans camped here late yesterday as Gen. Glassford announced the Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroads had agreed to carry the men at 1 cent a mile, less than one-third the regular fare. The announcement came as Com- mander in Chief Walter W. Waters characterized the food situation as “acute.” As a result of this, Gen. Glassford expects many thousands of bonus *“soldiers’ of going home comfortably. To finance the return of the veter- ans. the police superintendent suggest- ed that each community raise funds for the fare and subsistence of its own men, the money to be collected by vet- erans’ organizations. Baldridge, Republican, of Nebraska, who first put forward the railroad plan, indorsed Glassford's financing sugges- tion in a speech to the House yester- day afternoon. He sald he thought the men would soon be in the frame of mind to go back home, and expressed the opinion his own home city, Omaha, would raise the funds necessary to pay the return passage of the 54 men who came here from there. Although only enough money and food were on hand today to feed the; men through the rest of this week, re- plenishment of the B. E. F. treasury through sale of the famous McClelland Barclay statuette, now on exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. appeared likely. Maj. J. M. Roe, 1900 Pennsyl- vania avenue, who offered the figure for sale for the benefit of the veterans, announced this morning he had re- ceived an offer of $7.500 from Fred- erick L. Spillman of New York, con- tingent upon the contribution from “any one else” of $2,500. Resale Contemplated. Under Spillman’s plan, the $10,000 | ‘would then be turned over to the vet- erans, the statuette resold at public auction and the resale price also turned over to the B. E. F. mess fund. Maj Roe, himself a veteran of the World War, expressed confidence today the $2,500 would be forthcoming before Sat- urday, when the statuette is removed from the Corcoran exhibition Meanwhile plans went ahead today | for the three-day “convention” of: the | B. E. F. at which matters of policy | will be threshed out and efforts made | to preserve harmony within the ranks. Decision to hold the meeting was at- tributed by the Workers' Ex-Service- | men’s League to “pressure of the rank | and file against the arbitrary action | of !Ehepaslf-hppolnlvd committee in the “The veterans must be very careful | that this conference will not turn out to be a hand-picked and steam-roller affair.” a_statement from the league warned. “This conference must not be limited to the question of the third party or ‘reward your friends and | punish your enemies’ It must be de- | voted to the full and free discussion | of the immediate payment in cash of the bonus, other problems of the vet-: erans and the form of organization to} be adopted by the rank and file. This conference should be representative of the opinions of the rank and file.” The statement also urged the aboli tion of “spying, terror, the ‘red scare,’ and warned the veterans not to sign ‘membership cards being distributed by | Commander in Chief Waters, which, the league termed “part of the scheme | to turn the B. E. F. into part of the army.” BONUS MARCH PLANNED | CHICAGO, June 23 (#).—A move- ment to organize six companies of war veterans to march to Washington was started in Chicago yesterday by the Adjust-the-Bonus-Now League. The campaign was directed by Louis A. Deon of Chadron, Nebr.. a recruit- ing agent sent to Chicago from Wash- ington by Walter Waters, commander of the Bonus Expeditionary Forces in the Capital. Assisting him was W. W. O'Brien, attorney for the Bonus League and independent candidate for Governor of Illinois. Deon said the veterans would march on Washington in regular military for- ‘mation.

They came “just for the fun of it,” and incidentally to run errands and do whatever hand- shaking might help the leading candi- date for the party’s nomination for President. The first thing that Anna heard was that Emily Smith Warner is entering ably tomorrow “Oh, fine,” she explaimed. “Won't it | be nice to see her—we did a lot of | campaigning together in 1924, you { know." She referred to journeying over New York with Mrs. Warner, 30-year-old daughter of the brown-derby candidate. In another hotel William Gibbs Me- Adoo explained that his 17-year-old i daughter. granddaughter of the last Democratic President, is “just a spec- { tator.” But Mr. McAdoo naturally af- firmed that both his daughter and his wife, President Wilson's daughter, would Music and Joint Recital Given at Playhouse. IRGINIA MAY SELLARS, so- prano, and Phila Belle Burk, pianist, last night were presented in a joint recital at the Playhouse, 1814 N street, under the sponsorship of Dr. Hugh Roberts of the Wash- ington College of Music and La Salle Spier. Among numbers presented by Miss Sellars were “Chanson Provencale,” by Dell' Agua: “Lieti Signor,” by Meverbeer; “Villanella,” by Sibella; “Les Filles de Cadix,” by Delibes; “The Swallow,” by Dell’ Agua: “Car- mena,” by Wilson; “Vissi D'Arte, Vissi D'Armore.” by Puccini, and “I1 Bacio,” by Ardite. Miss Sellars was accompanied at the piano by Robert Ruckman. i Burk's selections included Prelude and Fugue, F Sharp jo Beethoven's “Sonata. D Major, Op. 10.

Deal, organist, and Dale Hamilton. baritone. a The Bach “Fugue in C Minor. which opened the program, Wwas played by Mrs. Deal in a very authoritative manner. The registra- tion was done in a traditional man- ner with ample technical equipment and fine sense of proportions. Seth Bingham's original ‘“‘Harmonies of Florence” evinced a splendid example of modern music which is not drasti- cally eccentric. The ever popular (and justly so) Dickinson “Berceuse’ was evidently enjoyed and appreci- ated by the audience. “Voice of the Descending Dove,” a scriptural tonal picture, by Deane Shure, displayed Mrs. Deal's intelligent sense Ov‘. artistry. Kinder's “Jubilante Amen’ was built up to a thrilling_climax, and very obviously done without re- sorting to the crescendo pedal for the effect Closing the program Mrs. Deal gave a maturad reading of the “First Sonata,” of Mendelssohn. Ease in control of registration, good balance in tonal colors, a thorough underst2nding of the five movements of this masterpiecz of organ litera- ture, brought to a conclusion an organ recital which required much study and matured musicianship.

'ANACOSTIA FLAGPOLE PROPOSED BY B. E. F. Veterans Want to Commemorate! Encampment, but They May Need Congress' Consent. ‘Tie Bonus Expeditionary Force \'flnf&‘ to erect a flagpole in Anacostia Park to commemorate in years to ccme the memorable encampment in the National Capital, but it may require the sanction of Congress to do it. Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3rd, director of public buildings and public parks, has written a letter to Senator Mc- Nary, Republican, of Oregon, that if the flagpole is a memorial it is necessary to obtain the authorization of Congress to erect it on public land. As the bonus marching movement had its inception in Oregon, the vet- erans seek to erect a flagpole made of an Oregon tree 100 feet in height. Under plans before Col. Grant, the flagpole would be set on the higher ground, overlooking the site of the present camp in Anacostia Park, with steps leading up to it. A panel eight feet high would be built at the base of the pole and contain the names of all the veterans who participated in the Bonus Expeditionary Force.

Hopeful Idahoan Will Change His Attitude After Hoover’s Speech. BY the Associated Press. An attempt to offset Senator Borah's violent opposition to the Republican platform and its prohibition declara- tion was seen today in a new statement from James R. Garfleld defending the party’s campaign utterance. Chairman of the committee which drafted that platform, Garfield not only argued strenuously against the points made by the Idaho Senator against the resubmission plank, but expressed re- gret that Borah was unwilling to con- tinue giving “his thought and abllity toward a constructive, forward-looking program. In political circles here there was a feeling the Repulican E‘llgh command not only is determined to ccunteract any influence Borah’s denunciation may have had, but would even like to find paigning talents for the President. Borah is believed by some to have left himself a way open to support Mr. Hocver despite his declaration before the Senate that he would not aid the Republican nominee if he runs on the party platform. Should the President's acceptance speech, still more than a month off, interpret or expand that platform in a manner pleasing to Borah, these observers believe the Senator might support him. Garfleld’s statement argued the Re- publican submission plan, if accepted would leave Congress full power to pre- vent return of the saloon in any State and full control over the States of any prohibition or system of liquor distri- bution they might choose. On the con- trary, he said, straightout repeal would leave Congress absolutely unable to prevent the saloon. He denied the convention or his com- mittee were packed with office holders and maintained that one-quarter of the cffice-holding delegates, numbering less than 70, voted against the plank adopted, showing that, contrary to Borah's argument, the delegates did vote from their convictions and not out of political expediency. HOOVER ASKED TO END FARM BOARD SUPPORT and Other Commodity Brokers Wire President to With- hold Financial Aid. Grain By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 23.—A committee representing leading grain and other farm commodity exchanges of America has petitioned President Hoover to withhold further financial support from the Federal Farm Board and “any of its so-called subsidiaries.” Bearing the signature of Siebel C. Harris, chairman of the Grain Com- mittee on National Affairs, the petition was telegraphed to the White House last night and declared the Farm Board has “definitely proven” its fail- ure to bolster grain prices. “We feel” it stated, “that only the free workings of the law of supply and demand and the return of normal in- vestment activities to our markets will result in advancing grain prices, with- | out which, we believe. the return of prosperity will be indefinitely delayed."
