It was a plain blue Monaay for of- ficials of the Bonus Expeditionary Force and they sent members of their official staff to the building to observe the movement. They admitted the line-up Was a large one, but asserted that “half the fellows in_that lin. ain't been in camp here. They are bums coming down frem New York and going to Cali- fornia.” “The transportation act,” commented W. S. Keyser, former member of the army's Legislative Committee, “is the worst racket in the country today. Everybody is getting practically a free ride at the expense of the Government. 2,500 in Winchester. “Even if this gang are all members of the B. E.

In addition to those fellows, 50 are coming in from Pittsburgh.” Associated Press dispatches from Win- chester reported that 46 Califormians arrived there last night and were stranded called themselves mem- bers of the “lost battalion” of the out- 1it headed by Rcy W.

Keyser also said that many men in the line were being sent by his head- quarters to various sections for recruit- ing duty. A similar statement was made by headquarters officials when the bill was signed by President Hoover July 8. More than 100 veterans applied for 50 per cent loans on their certificates and many remained around the build- ing awaiting the approval of their ap- plications.

This agreement was reached as a result of the treatment acccrded the Communist demonstratcrs Saturday night. While Waters was reviewing veterans at Camp Marks, Anacostia, yesterday morning, his competitor for the leader- ship of the veterans, Roy Robertson, conferred with B. E. F_unit com- manders to map out a definite legisla. tive program looking to the calling of a special session to enact veteran relief legislation.

SUTTOBEFLED | IN STARK DEATH Relatives of Alleged-Victim of “Third Degres” Seek $100,- 000 From County. MINEOLA, N. Y., July 18 (#)— Detective Charles Wesser was or- dered placed in the custody of the sheriff today after reluctantly ad- mitting that he had seen Hyman Stark, who later died of a broken adam’s apple, lying unconscious and stripped to the waist on the floor at police headquarters. By the Associated Press. MINEOLA, N. Y, July 18.—Nassau County, an attorney announced today, is to be sued for $100,000 for the death of Hyman Stark, who died after lengthy “interrogation” during which he re- ceived almost countless bruises and had his Adam'’s apple smashed. Samuel Leibowitz, attorney, said dur- ing progress of a John Doe inquiry into the death, that he had been retained by Stark's family to sue for the amount of money the former convict and nar- cotic addict “might have been ex- ffif,"ed to earn during an honest life- o Leibowitz said the damage action would be brought in New York City and that he had already taken the first steps. He is also counsel for one of the three men arrested with Stark and asserted that their defense on charges of having assaulted the aged mother of a county detective during a robbery would be “extremely simple.” District _Attorney Elvin Edwards sought to show through a succession of police witnesses, all of whom waived immunity, that Detective Joseph Hi- zenski, son of the assaulted woman, was trying to chield the one really guilty for killing Stark by “taking the rap” himself. | At one point he charged that there | was a conspiracy among the police who | knew the true facts to have Heizenskl take the blame. He called a number of policemen from whom he drew tes- | timony that Stark was not beaten at the sixth precinct station. to which he was taken immediately after his arrest | “I am bearing down on this point,” Edwards told Supreme Court Justice Meier Steinbrink, “because Jo» Hi- zenski tried to tell me before this hear- ing opened this morning that he had beaten up Stark at the sixth precinct station before he was removed to head- quarters.” Testifies Police Warned. Assistant District Attorney Martin | W. Littleton. jr.. testified today that he had warned police against using any third-degree tactics on Stark. Littleton was the first witness at the John Doe hearing into the death be- fore Supreme Court Justice Mefer Steinbrink. “When I was told that Stark and three companions had been | arrested for assaulting and injuring the mother of a policeman I realized what | might _ensue,” Littleton_testified. “I warned both Deputy Chief of Police | J. Tappan and an inspector. Officials Agree With Him. “I said, ‘remember that one black eye may spoil a perfectly good murder case. Littleton said both police officials agreed with him that no third-degree methods should be used. Stark was questioned by police for eight hours and died later Priday night of a broken larynx. He also suffered a fractured skull and many body bruises.

He said that Isse Stein, one of the | prisoners, made a statement, but re- | fused to sign it. | _“It’s true” Littleton quoted him as explaining, “but if I sign it the cops | will hit me " Littleton went home after obtaining the three statements and at that time, he said, police had given no indication that they intended using any force | against the prisoners. Atter dinner Police Lieut. Jesse May- fort telephoned Littleton and said he had called Dr. Thomas Fearns, & pri- | vate physician, to attend Stark. “I asked what was wrong.” Littleton testified, “but they wouldn't tell me. But I could tell from the tone that it was_something serious.” When he went to police headquar- ters after a second call he was in- formed the prisoner was dead. “I was shocked,” Littleton said. “We just sat there aiud looked at each other.” As soon as he recovered his com- posure, Littleton said, he ordered an immediate autopsy to determine the cause of the prisoner’s death.

He owned a fine collection of Ameri- cana, and at that banquet he exhibited a rare original signature of George Washington, presented to him by President Coolidge when he retired as Ambassador to the United States. Norman Armour, charge d'affaires of the American embassy, presented his Government's condolences to the widow this afternoon. Gen. Pershing also called at the home. “I am profoundly distressed,” he said. “May his passing be a reminder to all of us of the necessity of keeping forever intact a living co-operation and friendship between our two countries.” For 22 years Jean Jules Jusserand was_Ambassador to the United States, establishing a record for the longest continuous assignment in the history of the Washington diplomatic corps. He was quiet and unassuming, but those close to him knew that under his administration the French embassy achieved his ambition to unite his own country and the United States in bonds of firm friendship. The American Presidents from Roose- velt to Coolidge were his personal friends. His service began early in the Roosevelt administration and he was the President’s companion in many of Mr. Roosevelt’s vigorous activities. He was an important figure in the delicate negotiations involving transfer to the United States of the French rights in the Panama Canal. In 1924, when France was negotiating payment of her war debt to America, Premier Herriot appointed Emile Daeschner to succeed M. Jusserand. Pays Tribute to Successor. The veteran was disappointed, but he remained loyal to his government. When he left he said: “I leave my duties in the hands of my successor and depart full of love for your America. M. Daeschner is an and a thinker.” Then, with the smile which had won him so many friends, he added: “And so am 1" His unfailing tact and his great ability as @ statesman and a diplomat were of the greatest importance during the trying days of the war when the United States threw in her lot with the allies. He was born at Lyons in 1855, and began his diplomatic career early. From 1898 until 1902 he was the French minister to Denmark, his first im- portant diplomatic assignment abroad. One of his last public acts was to deliver a radio address which was re- broadcast to the United States. It's theme was his love for the country where he spent so many years and his regret the French people had been mis- represented to America. “I ardently desired to visit America again,” he said, “but ill health has pre- vented me. Now, because of this won- derful invention, I can address you once more, probably for the last time.” In that speech he expressed his deep feeling for America and pointed out the characteristics which French history and the French people have in common with those of the United States. “From what I hear, and I wish it| been of late brought to the fore in America. Maligners have magnified | them and have sown broadcast the seed of scorn and misunderstanding.” He recalled and denied charges that the example of the American-Canadian border as an unfortified frontier. “My answer.” he said, “is this: Will you change neighbors? Take ours and give us your Canadians, and at once | we shall dismantle our fortresses.” He knew the end was near. He said: “The sands in the hour-glass are run- ning low. I must take leave probably forever. May peace, prosperity, happy homes be the meed of your energy, good sense and kind hearts. “Remember this and be well per- suaded of its truth: The future is not in the hands of fate, but in our own. “My dear American friends, fare- well” During the period of his service at Washington the embassy was a bright spot in Capital soclety. At many social functions, it was shown how universally he was regarded as confidant and coun- selor by other diplomats. At these gatherings Mme. Jusserand, who was Miss Elise Richards, a woman of Amer- ican birth, always played a prominent part. The Ambassador and Mme. { Jusserand had been married in Paris in 1895.

The death of Jules Jusserand, former French Ambassador to the United States, has caused genuine sorrow in official and unofficial quarters in Wash- ington, where during his 22 years' tenure of office the late Ambassador had made solid friendships. Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson was deeply grieved at-the news. He had known Jusserand since the days of President Roosevelt, when Stimson was Secretary of War. The Secretary stated: “I have just learned with deep regret of the death of Jules Jusserand. “No man in recent times did more to cement the traditional relations between France and the United States. His pro- found scholarship and literary skill gained for him world-wide recognition outside the field of his chosen profes- sion. He typified the highest ideals of frankness and fair dealing in diplomacy. “After his retirement to France he continued in his articles and addresses to manifest his great interest to Amer- ican affairs and in the maintenance of friendly rela.ons between France and this country. “I am deeply touched to learn f.om |the statement which his wife issued this morning that his last words were in regard to his love for America. “His many friends in this ccuntry will regret the departure of this great diplomat and man of letters.” Member of “Hiking Cabinet.” Jusserand was the only foreigner who was admitted to the T. R.’s “hiking cabinet.” The President, his cabinet and the French Ambassador used to take daily walks to Georgetown, visiting a park close to the present home of Ambassador Bliss, Roosevelt, who did not easily befriend foreigners, was taken to Jusserand from the first day the French Ambassador presented his official credentials. He had begun writing a history of English literature, which Roosevelt appreciated so much that in his official reply to Jusserand he men- tioned his work—which, incidentally, was never completed. It was at that time that a close friend- ship had been formed between Secre- tary Stimson and the French Ambas- sador, a friendship which lasted until Jusserand’s death. Every time Mr. Stimson went abroad he made a special point of seeing the retired Ambassador and the iast time the (wo men met was at a luncheon given to Mr. Stimson at the French foreign office by Premier Tardieu last April. The French embassy, which had not received this morning any official in- formation about the death of the for- mer chief of mission, was deeply grieved at the news. Ambassador Paul Claudel said. “With the dealin oi M. Jusserand France loses a great diplomat, a great Frenchman and we here lose a great friend." Jules Henri, the Councillor of the Embassy, who had been Jusserand's close collaborator during the last five years of ambassadorship of the late diplomat, was profundly moved at the news of the death of his former chief. “The French Diplomatic Corps loses one of its most brilliant members,” he said, “and America one of its staunchest friends in France.” Jusserand had represented the Prench Republic from 1902 until late in 1924. Retired by Herriot. At the time when Edouard Herriot became for the first time the President of the French Republic, he decided to “rejuvenate” the French diplomatic service and among those whom he pen- joned was the Ambassador to Washing- ton. Everybody in the French foreign office regretted the retirement of Jus- cerand because he was about the only Frenchman who had proved that he had understood America and the American people. This understanding. together with the close friendships he had formed here. stood him in good stead on more than one occasion. During the World War, he maintained a dignified neutral atti- tude and was advising his government, which was growing impatient at Amer- ica’s continued peutrality, to have pa- { tience, because America could not be rushed into the war. When the United States joined the allies, he maintained the same dignified attitude and was in- strumental in explaining to his gov- ernment? better than any other allied representative, that this country would play its part 100 per cent. U. S. Fills Gap. After the defeat of the 5th British Army in 1918, when a gap was formed between the British and the French lines, thanks to his pressing recommen- dation, the United States sent 300,000 men to France within a few weeks to fill that gap. which might otherwise rendered the position of the allies pre- carious. It was he also who favored the idea of an American army with an Ameri- can ccmmander against the wish of certain military ...1 pclitical men in France and Great Bri.ain who urged | the incorporation of the American troops in the Franch and British armies.

Now that he is dead it can be said that he had advised the Prench government not to include the covenant in the peace treaty, warn- ing them that the American Senate would never ratify such a peace in- strument. It was also Jusserand who advised President Wilson to accept the Lodge reservation to make the ratification of the treaty possible, but the President paid no heed to the Prenchman'’s advice It was Jusserand who had started conversations with Secretaries Hughes and Mellon about the funding of the PFrench debt. These negotiations car- ried on by 8 man who knew and under- stood America well would have given probably better results than those con- cluded by his successor Berenger.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 18—The German government issued a decree today ban- ning all outdoor demonstrations follow- ing a week end of political rioting in which 15 persons were killed and scores injured. The most severe clash was at Altona, near Hamburg. Twelve were slain and 50 injured when 6,000 National Social- ists and Communists fought savagely. Police succeeded in breaking up the bat- | tle at midnight. At Griefswald, a small town in Pom- erania near the Baltic Sea, two were killed and 25 seriously wounded, in an- other battle between Nazis and Com- munists. | One Nazi was killed in pistol fire | exchange in Alte Jakobstrasse, in the heart of Berlin.

Communist snipers opened fire | from housetops and attics. Police also | were fired on. The Communist swarmed from their hideouts when the police drew up their lines. At the same time the line of Nazis broke and the streets became a | swarming mass. Some were picked | up dead in the streets. Others aied | in hospitals. | The fight was scarcely ended when another broke out in nearby St. Paull, | the sailors’ quarter of Hamburg. A/ number were wounded before this out- | break was put down. | The cabinet considered a general ban | | on all outdoor processions and demon- | | strations the most effective method of | avoiding further bloody week ends.

The cabinet reinstated them under pressure from Adolf Hitler, Nazi | leader, and could hardly afford politi- | cally fo rescind its own orders. i In some quarters it was maintained | that as long as the uniforms are per- | | mitted the possibility of further clashes | will remain, but since large crowds will | no longer be permitted to march or meet outdoors the government considered that an effective brake was put on the situation by today’s decree. In a semi-official statement the gov- ernment indicated that “it reserves all further measures to itself and will not hesitate in case of need to proceed ‘The azis | severely against groups working with explosives and firearms, even to the ex- tent of standing up against a wall and shooting those caught with firearms or explosives.” | This is possible without resorting to | martial law, by inducing the civil courts to proceed with the utmost dispatch in imposing the death penalty upon the guilty.
