Montgomery County police, whose carefully laid plins for handling the hunger marchers were not needed when the marchers chose a route to the Capi- tal through West Virginia and Virginia instead of coming here from Cumber- land by way of Frederick and Rockville, as was expected, are maintaining a con- stant vigil to be fprepm'ed for any pos- sible eviction of the marchers into Maryland. Police Chief Alvie A. Moxley and the officers of his department have ordered a watch kept on the hunger army en- camped here, and the entire depart- ment is prepared to swing into action at_a moment’s notice. It is expected that if the marchers are routed from the Capital Maryland authorities will hastily form an escort of State troopers and rush the caravan through to the Pennsylvania State line, s they did the bonus army last July. Tear Gas Is Issued. ‘The Maryland troopers who were de- tailed to handle the hunger marchers at Cumberland disbanded and returned to their stations when the army crossed into West Virginia yesterday, but a sufficient number could be ‘mobilized from Baltimore, Laurel and Waldorf to assist the Montgomery County force if the army is driven into that community, it was said today Tear gas equipment has been issued to the Montgomery officers for use if any disorder occurs, while National Guard companies at Kensington and Silver Spring, volunteer firemen of Rockville and Bethesda and the six American Legion posts of the tounty stand ready to assist the police if any disturbance of major proportions oc- curs, A tear gas platoon from Maryland | National Guard headquarters in Balti- | more will be available on short notice' if eny serious trouble threatens, county authorities announced.

TUNJA, Colombia, December 5 (#).— Convicted of 30 murders, of arson twice and of numerous robberies, Nicoles Jimenez, 66-year-old “beast-man,” died yesterday in the town hall. He was per- mitted to devote his declining years to gardening. Md. They . P. Photo. detoured up Spencer street while the caravan was passing. Tear Gas on Hand. Chief of Police J. J. Crowley said today the same preparations made to handle the marchers in the event of | disorder yesterday would be relied upon | in case they are suddenly ejected from Washington. As part of these arrange- ments, the police have secured an ample supply of tear gas equipment and | ordered to hold themselves in readi- ness for service at any hour. Constables, deputy sheriffs and town officers are expected to co-operate with the regular county and State police if an emergency arises. The town officers of Riverdale have the only radio-equip- ped cars in the county and these would be particularly’ valuable in patroling the Washington-Baltimore Boulevard in case the marchers become unruly upon leaving Washington. Col. E. Austin Baughman, Maryland commissioner of motor vehicles, accom- panied the caravan to Washington from Baltimore yesterday. About 25 of the 50 State troopers in the escort had| rushed from Cumberland to Baltimore when the western column was diverted into West Virginia. ke 3 Princeton Receives Award. PRINCETON, N.

The District Health Department to- day was planning ‘mmediate steps to | curb the outbreak of influenza in the camp of the “hunger” marchers, which has reached almost epider;ic proportions. Four stricken marchers are in| Casualty Hospital suffering frem severe cases of the disease, while 14 others in the camp efther are recovering or have mild cases. Dr. James G. Cumming, in charge of | the contagious diseases division of the | Health Department, visited Casualty | Hospital and definitely diagnosed the cases there as influenza. After a survey | of the camp, he planned to confer with | Dr. William C. Fowler, District health | officer, and map out & program for re- stricting the spread of the disease. Will Take Responsibility. “I would prefer to do what is neces- sary to“.:sl(egulrd dfl;l’e 11:]“-121 of the community first, and decide the 1 t; of it afterward, taking full mpvnm; myself,” Dr. Fowler declared. Those taken to Casualty last night were Henry Morgan, 29, Chicago; Arrid Salonen, 28, Tripoli, Wis.; Slater Brown, 36, New York, and Joseph J. Nadrock, 32, Milwaukee. Approximately 50 other persons received medical care at the camp last night and this morning from Casualty Hospital physicians operating from four ambulances, three belonging to the hospital and one by the W. J. Sardo Co. Fears Spread of Disease. Dr. J. Rogers Young of the hospital was in chorge of the administration of medical relief ‘at the camp. Dr. Cumming said it was almost in- evitable that influenza disease or & similar would break out among the marchers, due to exposure and insani- tary mode of living. “The marchers, Cumming 5 are kept from coming into contact with the people of the community, there is little probability that the disease will spread beyond the confines of the camp. If, however, they commence. marching through the city, the situation will be different.” —_— PLAYHOUSE CLOSED Palm Beach Theater Won't Open This Winter. | PALM BEACH, Fla., December 5 (#). | —Winter residents of Palm Beach will have to do without stage productions this season—that is, in 5o far as they | | may have been depending on the Palm Beach Playhouse.

The Playhouse was organized in the Fall MAJ BROWN USES MILITARY TACTIGS Police Chief Adopts Part of Strategy Employed by Gen. Glassford. Some of the same military strategy | that Maj. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, | former superintendent of police, follow- ed when he handled the first “hunger” march invasion of Washington last De- cember has been adopted by his suc- | cessor. Maj. Emnest W. Brown, ih| handling the second “hunger” army. | The site selected -as an improvised camp for the marchers gives the police a decided advantage in the event of disorder. TLess than 20 yards to the east are the Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsylvania rallroad tracks. To the west is a high, wooded hill, which is difficult to climb. Here police look- outs have a panorama of the entire “army.” | The only other entrances to the city | from the encampment are by way of | Bladensburg road and Florida avenue, | and both have been cut off by strong phalanxes of police. Second Line of Defense. | As a second line of defense, the po- | lice department’s tear gas squad of 40 men, under the direction of Lieut. Har- | vey Callahan, rests a few hundred | yards away, ready to swing into action | on a moment’s notice. With this squad | also is a picked group of officers equip- | ped with gas masks who will go into action in the event of trouble, to Te- lieve the men who block the roadway. These cfficers are not equipped with | masks and chould gas be used to quell a disturbance they will fall back- to permit the mask-equipped men to go | into action. | Reserve Plan Works. | Maj. Brown's other plans for han- dling the marchers worked out so effi- | ciently that, upon the first indication of a stir from the restless groups, re- serves began to arrive from all direc- tions in patrol wagons and private au- tomobiles. §Five minutes after an order had been given for the reserves at least 100 were on the scene. Members of the park police force were lined up side by side with the metro- politan officers, the columns of police- men who guarded the camp site. The park officers also were stationed along the wooded hillside overlooking the camp. Mingling among the police and the marchers were a number of Government | agents. These included Army and Navy intelligence officers and immigration officials. The Police Department also had plainclothes operatives scattered among the demonstratofs.
