FATHER COX'S ARMY REACHES CAPITAL TO PETITION CONGRESS
(86)
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Followed by a host of idle, 10,000 strong, the Rev. James R. Cox, of Pittsburgh, presents the demands of the "hunger caravan" to the Federal Government. In Capitol Plaza extra police guards are ordered out as a precautionary measure but the demonstration is peaceful with the marchers concentrating entirely on rations of sauerkraut and frankfurters. After a tedious rain-soaked trek from Pennsylvania, wet but not discouraged, they stand behind their religious leader and urge the solons to action. A $5,000,000,000 bond issue to carry on government building works is asked for jobless relief.

The melee waxes hot as the editor's friends give vent to their sentiments, to the tune of boos, hisses, and razzberries. The deposed scribe claims his widely-quoted attacks on the school's athletic policies caused his expulsion. A turbulent interlude in the course of Higher Education.

A metal dove slides down a wire from the church altar to the Sacred Ox-cart in the square. Its fuse touches the "Carro" and with a resounding explosion a fireworks display is ignited, after which the car is driven off by a double-span of pure white oxen. One of the most striking festivals in the annals of the nation.

In direct contrast with the aging heroes of the Civil War are 15,000 veterans of the World War, and National Guard units, resplendent in dress uniforms. A stirring memorial to departed "buddies."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Driving a brilliant race throughout the gruelling 500-mile speed test the 37-year-old Los Angeles campaigner slips into the lead after the 350-mile mark and is never headed. Howdy Wilcox, a local product, battles him every inch of the way to the finish, coming home only eight seconds behind the winner. The fastest field that has ever started maintain a murderous pace during the entire grind. A mishap again robs Billy Arnold, youthful Chicago daredevil, of the coveted prize as he crashes through a retaining wall soon after the 100-mile mark. Tony Gulotta piles up in the stretch and narrowly averts disaster. 17 aces stick to the end in the most sensational fight in the history of the event. Fred Frame, today's winner, gains $20,000 as a result of his victory.

POLICE STEM EFFORT BY "BONUS HIKERS" TO BLOCKADE RAILROAD EXCLUSIVE PICTURES
(97)
CLEVELAND, Ohio--Disregarding police orders the ex-service men converge on the Pennsylvania road's yards and pitch camp. Determined to appropriate trains for free rides to the national capital, the marchers board mail trains, tie-up freight movements and disrupt the whole service for hours, until the bluecoats arrive and rout them by force. Despite warnings the men seize switch engines and refuse to permit trains to go through when their demands for transportation are not met. The crisis passes quickly when the police take over the situation, and after the veterans have been assured that they will be carried through to Pittsburgh free.

EASTHAMPTON, Mass.--Progress demands space and the ancient mill tower erected in 1853 by Samuel Williston is sentenced to the "executioner's block."

Then in one last gesture the fire is set off and oblivion dooms the once proud steeple of commerce. Licking flames envelope the huge column and eat away at the base of the giant building. Stubbornly the aged shaft stands up under the intense heat. But the battle is waged in vain as the thousand-ton structure collapses with a thunderous crash.

BOARD OF TRADE TO FIGHT GOVERNMENT'S SUSPENSION ORDER
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Bitter war looms in the grain market as the Chicago Board of Trade defies the 60-day closing order by the Federal Grain Futures Commission, when President Peter B. Carey, in a strong interview, avers that such closing would precipitate a world-wide panic. He characterizes the commission's restrictions as having been instigated by "agricultural racketeers."
C. E. Huff, president of the Farmer's National Grain Corporation, defends the federal ruling, and vividly outlines the battle-lines between the grain pit and the farmer's co-operatives. Both sides of a vital economic struggle are presented by the field marshals of the opposing factions. One of the important national news stories of the day.
REVOLUTIONISTS FLEE; SILENT CITY BOWS TO MILITARY OCCUPATION
BELEM, Brazil -- Nerve-wracking, indeed, is the existence of the natives in Brazil's revolution zone. Towns change hands over night and rebels and loyalists experience difficulty in knowing when to cheer or to keep mum. A "viva" at the wrong time may mean the firing squad. Even the troops swap allegiance without warning. No man can trust his neighbor. Scenes in Brazil's new war zone add a new meaning to the "bitterness" of civil strife.

HAMPTON, Va. -- This Virginia town wrests the laurels from Winsted, Conn., the fabled home of freaks of nature, by producing a litter of pigs that receive their nourishment from two Jersey cows.

40 CARS LEAP RAILS IN DISASTROUS SMASHUP CAUSED BY SUN'S RAYS
BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio -- The worst freight wreck in the history of Ohio railroading! Car-load after car-load of "rush" merchandise piles up at 50 miles an hour, scattering debris for 400 feet along the tracks and heaping themselves into mountains of splintered box-cars and packing cases. Hats, shoes, hand-bags, medicines, sugar, salt, canned goods, safety pins, razor blades and paper cups are flung high and wide. The derailment was caused by "sun-buckle" or "sun-kinks" in the rails due to the unprecedented heat that has recently visited this locality.
1 KILLED, SCORES HURT IN BONUS RIOTS; ARMY MOBILIZES IN CAPITAL
WASHINGTON, D. C. -- President Hoover calls out infantry, cavalry, tanks and other troops to rout the Bonus Expeditionary Force, after a fatal clash between "vets" and police results in casualties. Foot by foot, at bayonet's point, the intruders are forced from their shack and tent camp in the heart of the nation's capital during the most critical situation in the Federal District since the Civil War. Bombs are hurled, emitting clouds of blinding tear-gas that makes weeping, cursing groups once determined compensation crusaders. Stumbling towards fresh air, the unwelcome visitors see their former abodes put to the torch. Urged, shoved, dragged and occasionally encouraged by the broad side of a cavalry sabre, the one-time soldiers are helpless as incendiary grenades send their shacks up in smoke. A thousand flames ascend, spreading a pall of smoke that shrouds the brilliant white dome of the Capitol close-by. Hundreds of thousands of spectators crowd the streets, taxing police and military safety zones, to view the most cataclysmic domestic event of the decade.
