This area, along with that on the Avenue, is wanted for the Gov- ernment building program. Conference Is Held. While Waters was making his state- ment, Gen.

Col. U. 8. Grand, 3d. superintendent of public buildings and public parks. and to the office of the solicitor of the Treasury. R. J. Mawhinney, to have Tepresentatives dispatched to join the conference. Fihelly pointed out that a number of legal questions might arise by reason that some of the properties sought to be evacuated are in the hands of con- tractors. working under authority of the supervising architect of the Treasury. and others being under the jurisdiction of Col. Grant. He said they were en- gaged in a general conference as to the method to be adopted by the chief of police in his effort to carry out the “very large” order given him by his| superiors.

Commenting upon the petition, Gov Pollard said: “This petition grows out of a misconception of the functions and authority of the governor in such matters. When it was reported to me that moving pictures, merry go round, etc., were in operation at Colonial Beach on Sunday. I at once in accord- ance with my invariable custom took the matter up with the local authori- ties on whom the duty of law enforce- ment primarily rests. The Governor never interferes unless the local official Mayor Myers at’ once took steps to see that the laws were enforced and I am in- he end the common- wealth's attorney are now co-operating together to see that no lawful activity [ be interferred with and that there is no breach of the law.

Altogether, more than 50 passengers were unable to walk and had to be car- |ried from the vessel on stretchers |, Most of the ill excursionists were taken to Emergency.

In the rush to get the sick passengers to the hospitals, families @id friends were separated, and many spent the greater part of the night trying to lo- cate cne another. In several instances mothers and fathers were taken to one hospital and their children to others Crowds of enxious relatives and friends gathered outside all the hospitals, many of them remaining until late in the night As a result of the confusion. police | were forced to organize a sort of “clear- 2 house” for information. Names and * addresses of the ill were sent out over the police teletype system as rapidly a they could be cbtained. and the various precincts were kept on' the jump giving out informaticn. A short time before the ship docked a truck carried two cartons of ham sandwiches and a tub of deviled-ezg selad to the camp of the 2d Regiment of the Bonus Expeditionary Force at Thirteenth and D streets southwest. Twenty-five Veterans TIl Long after the boat pulled into the wharf and the rush on the hospita’s be- gen, 25 members of the camp applied for treatment at Emergency, explaining they had eaten some of the salad the al already was nd its capacity, an ambulan e e camp to treat the ve'- instead of taking them to e overcrowded hospitals However. the regiment’s commander in chief, Floyd S. Taylor of Sait Lake City, protested that his men were “just as human as anvbody brought from the boat.” and the doctors consented to take the ex-service m: to the hospital. Eight of them were transferred to Gallinger Hospital after receiving emergency treat- ment. The others showed immediate im- provement after treatment at Emergency and were able to return to the camp within a short time. According to Taylor. the truck re- turned to the camp shortly after the boat docked and the driver and his helper asked for the food, explain it had been delivered there by mistakc Receiving information some cf the poisonous food had been taken to & B.E.

The 2d Regiment camp was the last one | he visited, and when he arrived some of the ex-service men already had com- menced to sicken. While the first shipload of excursion- ists were being treated, word was re- ceived that more ill persons were at | Marshall Hall, unable to return to the { city | The steamer made another trip to the resort, and Emergency sent three in- ternes and eight nurses in automobiles. The fire rescue squad also made the trip. but only about half a dozen per- sons were found there. They, 100, were taken to Emergency. Samples of Food Taken. [ Samples of the food eaten by the ex- cursionists. which had been sent to Marshall Hall in dairy trucks, were saved by Riggs Winters, superintendent lof the resort. The specimens were turned over to the firemen, who placed them in the hands of Health Depart- | ment officials for analysis. | At the 2nd Regiment camp it was said the wife of an official of one of the had visited the veterans ana | inquired if they were eating regularly.
