Bullion, com- mander of the temporary Maryland camp, agreed to move by 6 o'clock to- night. Capt. Johnson acted after Gov. Ritchie had notified Waters in a con-| ference that State sanitation laws pre- | cluded establishment of a camp in| Maryland. I Seeks Camps in Each State. ‘Waters was busy this morning lining up officials of the 48 States in an effort to secure property for establishment of | bonus army camps for marchers of each State. He sent a messenger to the Edgell property this morning to advise bonus marchers, who already have encamped on the property, to get out and pre- pared to return the property to Mrs. Edgell. Waters and his aides got in touch with officials of every State with their| plan for the establishment: of bonus camps and a permanent organization | with headquarters in Washington. His aides said the State camp idea was| finding much favor with public of-| cials as a solution of the problems of Washington and Johnstown, Pa., both of which have felt the heavy strain of the massed encampments of the bonus marchers. | Waters anrounced that he would have a statement on the policy of the B. E. F. ready for publication early| this afternoon, but would not give any indication of what that policy was. Advised to “Stick Tight.” Returning to Washington last night from the conference with Gov. Ritchie, Waters announced he was advising the bonus marchers now encamped at| Johnstown to “stick tight” until definite arrangements for their care can be completed. The commander, advised that “legal technicalities” make it inadvisable to attempt to establish a camp for bonus marchers on the plot in Ann Arundel County, Md., announced shortly after- ward he was advising his followers to disband and return to their homes until further plans were completed. He re- tracted this statement on his return to the Capital when confronted with a| rising resentment at the advice to dis- band. There was a stormy meeting of the B. E. F. general staff on Waters' return, in which Eugene F. Everett, New Jersey banus marcher, who has been a right- hand man to Waters ever since the B. E. F. was organized, was reported to have threatened to resign. ‘At the B. E. F. headquarters it was stated this morning that Everett would not resign and that he “couldn’t resign if he wanted to.” Charges Faced. Charges against the eight men facing trial in Police Court included parading without a permit, disorderly conduct and making speeches without a permit. One man, Walter Eicker of New York, faced trial on a charge of climbing a tree. The first count upon which the men | were to be tried was disorderly con- | duct, in the District of Columbia branch_of Police Court, before Judge Isaac R. Hitt. Court attaches said other cases will be tried in traffic United States branches of Police Court. ‘Those on trial, in addition to Eicker, are John Pace of Detroit, leader of the group which attempted the _White House picket; Sylvester McKinley, John Demetric, Louis Privolas, Albert Gersh- owitz, David Budd and Fred Thomas, colored. Defense counsel, made avail- able by the International Labor De- fense, were Chief Attorney David | Levinson of Philadelphia and Irving Schwab of New York. | The fighting from which the trials are an outgrowth started at Fifteenth street and New York avenue about noon on July 25 and continued inter- mittently down New York avenue to Thirteerth street, and then to Thir- bonus marchers and the much larger | crowd of spectators were dispersed by heavy detail of police. Budd, who struck Francis Hoffman, ‘Washington Times photographer, in the eye during the near riot, obtained a postponement until August 24 of his trial on assault charges. He then will be tried by a jury in Police Court. Pace, one of the principal lieutenants in the Communist movement in Wash- ington, was arrested by police during the height of the fighting in an effort to break up his group by rendering it leaderless. Eicker, his assistant, imme- diately took command, and it was not until two detectives had pulled him out and placed him in a patrol wagon that the fighters quit and returned to their billets at Thirteenth and B streets southwest.

The officers cleared are George Shi- nault and Miles Znamenacek. Shi- nault killed William Hushka of Chicago, while Znamenacek fatally wounded Eric Carlson of Oakland, Calif. The verdict of the jurors said the policemen “fired in defense of their own lives and in the performance of their duty.” Superintendent of Police Glassford testified that in his opinfon the resort Taking the stand, Znamenacek sald he fired to protect Shinault after being roughly handled himself. He said he was knocked down by the mob of vet- erans and struck on the back of the head. This blow resulted in a concus- sion of the brain which kept the officer in a hospital several days. Shinault declined to take the stand. It was testified he killed Hushka while the latter was charging him after he had been knocked down by six or seven other bonus marchers. There was some testimony that one of the bonus marchers drew a pistol and fired at police, and this, as well as other phases of the rioting, will be in- vestigated when the grand jury resumes the inquiry started Monday. Radical Suspects Released. { Just before the coroner’s verdict, Dis- trict Attorney Leo A. Rover ordered the release of 14 of the 15 men arrested as | radicals in the round-up following the | bonus army’s exodus. He ruled these were lawfully in the country, but all were escorted to the District line by police and secret service officials. Havanes MacKloodian, 47, of ,Chi- cago, was held for further investigation in connection with immigration laws, but was released this morning. When Rover reported in District Su- preme Court this morning to Justice James M. Proctor that the last of the 15 men had been released, David Leven- son of Philadelphia, representing the International Labor Defense as counsel for the men, protested he had not been given opportunity to confer with his | clients and that he had no evidence they had been freed. Levenson insisted his clients had been denied their constitutional rights. Rover told the court that Mac- Kloodian during the World War was a deserter from the Army and, when ar- rested as an alien enemy, served part of his term and then was released. Levenson told newspaper men he | would prepare and file as soon as pos- sible suit against those responsible for “forcibly” removing his clients from the District and would clalm damages.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 3.—De- claring that “somebody in Washington Jost his head during the bonus dis- turbance,” Forrest G, Cooper, South- ern vice commander of the American | Leglon, criticized the attitude taken by Government officials in the ejection of bonus marchers from Washington camps at the second day's session of | State American Legion Convention here yesterday. Members of the bonus aliuded to as “lobbyists” Cooper. “Other lobbyists can go to Washington and be feted,” he said. Urges Reconstruction Council. The formation of a national council of reconstruction to serve both veterans and others was urged by Cooper. This council would function along lines of the National Council of Defense dur- ing the war days, he sald. Stating that the whole question of veterans’ benefits merits the considera- tion of the Legion, Brig. Gen. Frank B. Hines, administrator of veterans’ affairs, informed the convention that at the present rate World War veterans would cost the Government between $60,000,000 and $90,000,000. Malone Urges Defense.

Speclal Dispatch to The Star. WATERBURY, Md, August 3— Camp Waters, designed as a permanent B. E. F. colony on a wooded tract about two miles from here, will be abandoned by 6 o'clock tonight, Joseph G. Bullion today told Capt. Edward McKenna Johnson, chief of the Maryland State Police. The agreement was reached between Bullion and Capt. Johnson when the latter came to the 25-acre refuge this morning, accompanied by 10 of his men. The police chief told Bullion that Walter W. Waters, commander of the B. E. F, would return the deed to the 25-acre tract to Mrs. Maude Edgell of Catonsville, who sold it to him late Sat- urday for $1. Capt. Johnson saying the camp must be evacuated, said he would furnish those in the camp—between 50 and 60, including four women—with 50 gallons of gasoline for their automobiles, and that any who had no other transporta- tion would be carried as far as the State line. He also said he would fur- nish trucks to carry the camp equip- ment and food to a “depot” which has been established at Laurel, so it can be kept intact until the bonus marchers decide where to go. Dr. and Mrs. Bob MacGhee, Miami, Fla, who had established a first-aid station at Camp Waters similiar to the one they maintained at the Third and Pennsylvania avenue bonus camp while "they were in Washington, told Capt. Johnson they had nowhere to go, and asked if they might set up a camp for the remainder of the Summer “somewhere along Chesapeake Bay.” The police chief said he had no ob- Jjection, if the property owners where they proposed to camp did not object, and the overseas doctor and his wife, who also served overseas as a registered nurse, made preparation to establish a new “home.” Confers With Ritchie. The abondonment of plans to estab- lish a permanent, self-supporting colony in Maryland was decided upon by Waters last night, after a confer- ence with Gov.

F. com- mander said he would advise the men now massed at Johnstown, Pa., to re- turn to their homes. “There seems to be nothing left for the moment but to advise my army in Johnstown to return to their respective communities until we are enabled to make definite plans to carry on,” he added.
