BONUS SEEKERS REST AT
FORT HUNT.
Washington, May 14.? A Sabbatl
quiet hung over the government pro
vided encampment of 1,200 bonui
seekers at Fort Hunt, Virginia, today
while the only dash of excitement tc
the day's cash payment movement
, was provided by a small group o'
"irreconcilables," who made a brie
and very unsuccessful effort to march
on the White House.
Twelve men, under the leadershi?
of Joseph Salzman of Brooklyn, N. Y.
whose die-hard band refused to joi'
the comfortable-fed contingent at th'
Virginia camp, hoisted flags brought
for the purpose and turned towar<
the White House from their shelter
less city "camp."
They got as far as Pennsylvani*
Avenue. A squad of bluecoats, led b>
Ernest Brown, superintendent of po
lice, and augmented by secret service
agents, suddenly surrounded them.
| The group was placed under techni
cal arrest, but, after a round of con
versation, the marchers were tump
loose aprain and escorted back to thei '
open-air headquarters.
"We want to see President Roose
velt," Salzman said. "I knew hip.
when he was governor. I stood be
side him once when he was making p
campaign speech."
"Convention" On
The president, however, was sailing
down the Potomac river at the time
and the White House itself was vir
tually deserted.
At Fort Hunt, meanwhile, where f
"convention" officially was in prog
ress, the guests of the governmen
prepared to begin a more active cam
paign to insist that congress pay tht
adjusted service certificates.
About 60 men in all are still en
camped in the national capital, mak
inpr heated charges that the Fort Hun*
leaders are "Communists."
The numbers at the Virginia cam
were swelled last night by the arriva
'of approximately 160 men under th
leadership of Mike Thomas of Cam
den, N. J., a camp commander durinp
last year's bonus march, who, witf
his men, also had declined at first t?
go to Fort Hunt on the grounds those
there were "largely Communists.'*
Thomas and his men capitulated
however, when Emanuel Levin an<
Harold Hickerson resigned from th
committee in charge of Fort Hunt.
Both men are self-styled member?
of the Communist party.,
Factions Separated
Thomas cohorts were planning t
place him in charge of the encamp
ment if they could obtain enough
votes from those who originally ar
rived there. To prevent possibl<
trouble, the Thomas group and'th"
contingent that first went to the camj
were segregated into separate section?
with many rows of empty tents be
tween them.
The committee in charge of the ar
| rangements had predicted between 8,
j 000 and 9,000 veterans would be ir
j tho capital by today, but the camj
registration showed only a few mor<
than 1,200.
After the United States Navy band
sent to the encampment to enter
tain tho men at the request of th>
White House? had furnished a con
cert, the bonus seekers today hearc
from various speakers the plans fo
the next few days. All have agreec'
to evacuate the fort by Thursday.
Mrs. Virginia Jenckes, Democratb
member of the house from Tndiane
who was instrumental last night i*'
getting Thomas' group to go to th
camp, went there again today an<
commended the "conservative"
ment on its "patriotism and staunch
ness."
