WASHINGTON, Saturday. A bullet through the heart was the one that killed when the police opened fire upon the veterans who were advancing towards them. A group of comrades took the man to the hospital in a patrol waggon accompanied by two policemen. He was dead when he reached there. The

body bore no marks to assist identification. Another marcher is in a serious condition owing to bullet wounds in the neck and lower abdomen, and his recovery is doubtful. Several other marchers were treated for smaller injuries. Colonel Patrick Hurley, Secretary for War, ordered cavalry from Fort Myer to be rushed into the city at a fast pace, saying he had been informed by the president that the civil government of the district of Golumbia had reported to him that it is unable to maintain law and order. After hearirig a report from Officer George Shinault, who said he fired the first shot, Mr. Pelham D. Glassford, the police chief, said the shooting which killed the veteran was justified. 'Several police were injured, one (one Private Scott), being reported as having died from a blow by a flying brick. This report which could not be verified immediately, aroused the police to anger. All the prisoners have been turned over to the civil authorities, Colonel Hurley .saying. this brushes aside the question of martial law.
