A social hour, when cookies and punch were served, fol lowed the presentations. Olassford maneuvered them In such way tho veteran army was broken up into a number of sections, somo on the lot to be cleared and others across the streets. Klght officers who had been off duty but a few hours were roused from bed and sent to the scene. The scattered veterans encamp ments at Anacostla and other places In the southern section of the city were deserted, their Inhabitants hav ing gone Individually or In groups to the Pennsylvania avenue site. Plunging Into the center of the fight, Olassford succeeded In stop ping the rush at police ropes. Several ponce ana a numoer 01 veterans were- Injured and Olassford had his badge torn off. He stopped the men and asked to confer with company leaders. One small veteran, apparently the leader of the attack, attempted to urge the men on again. He had wen hi rue k with a brick and tne rignt siue 01 his face was covered with blood. Police Belzed him and put him In a patrol wagon. waiter w. waters, commanaer 01 the bonus expeditionary force, was present but at first refused to take any part In the discussion. Later he talked with uiassiora. Police reinforcements poured In constantly, motor sirens screaming and officers were ready for action with their clubs. No tear gas bombs wore used In the first clash, officers fighting the veterans off with their sticks. Immediate eviction of all members of the bonus expeditionary forces from federal property was ordered by the government shortly after a group of veterans had been removed from one of the buildings they occupied lower Pennsylvania avenue near the capltol. me grouna1 iioor wws cioarea without difficulty admlst consider able razzing from veterans on the upper floors and on the roof. The only way to get to tne seconu floor wus up a ladderlike stairway. When the treasury agents arrived on that floor they met their first resist ance. "Mszy" Negro Arrested A large negro declared that he was unable to walk down the stairway because the height makes me dizzy." After his roiusai tne treasury agents started to pick him up bodily. When he resisted he was arrested. Officers bumped him down the stops as he shouted at the top of his voice "Don't hit me, don't hit me, I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen.' Still shouting "don't hit me" he was placed in a patrol wagon and hauled away. Olassford, standing In the group of veterans on the second floor. Joined with everyone else In hearty laughter. Others on the second floor camo down the narrow stairway without resistance. Hundreds of curious . spectators crowded the sidewalks outside the roped off areas. One Won. un In llullillng There was one woman In the building. . "I am Mrs. Mary Brown, of Los Angeles," she Bald In reply to ques tions. "Yes, I have children, but none here, I am going to stay." ' The sweeping evacuation order was made public by Attorney -General Mitchell who said Jails wore avail able to care for all the veterans who proved rebellious. A largo group was removed, some forcibly, from their temporary home near the capltol. At leaBt two arrests were made of veterans who refused to leave voluntarily and were hus tled out by police. Under Instructions of the treasury department, wrecking crews were sent to the site to tear down tho structure preliminary to razing other buildings In the vicinity which have been occupied by the veterans to make way for the government build ing program. While the second floor eviction was going on those on the roof sang war ; time songs mixed with various par-! odles. I Cheers aroso from veterans across ! the street when they sang tho fol- ! lowing: "My bonus lies over the ocean, My bonus lies over the sea, They gave the dough to the Frenchmen, And they won't give my bojus to me." Walter W. Waters, the bonus com mander, watched the eviction. He was wet with perspiration, being dressed in riding breeches, heavy woolen socks and boots and a woolen shirt. Somo of the men being evicted who did not agree with Waters' policy shouted "puss in boots" at him. The bonus army leuder Ignored tho razzing. To Get New Quarters Waters last night Informed police he was willing to evacuate the area peacefully in view of the fact that "mends" had provided a camp site and money for barracks elsewhere. His plan was that the veterans move to that site. Waters maintained he did not de sire to make any veteran act against his own will and based his plea on the argument that It would benefit the bonus army In the long run to evacuate and form a permanent camp." Waters appeal to the men to move peacefully to another camp was re ceived with boos from some of the men. Only a few Indicated willing ness to leave their shantytown along one of the world's most famous streets. In his statement Attorney General Mitchell declared "there 1b no longer any excuse or Justification for the "They are trespassers on govern inent property, much or which Is in mediately needed for erection . eg public Improvements,", he added. "Many of them, are violating thS laws of the district by holding unlaw ful assemblies In the street, obstruct lng traffic, disorderly conduct, beg ging and other acts. Their refusaf to leave government property and re slating removal Is an offense against tne law, punisnaoie oy line ana prisonment. "It Is high time this conduct shouli end. There is no reason why th men should not obey the laws tho district Just as every resident the district Is expected to do. "4 "In removing them from govern ment property entirely lawful meth ods are available. Under the law tf Is not necessary to resort to the court for ejectment decrees.
