TO res ‘MOP-UP’
Senator, in Control of Legis
lature, Will Seek Im
peachments.
* . .
By th« Associated Press.
BATON ROUGE. La.. August 17
Senator Huey P. Long was ready to
day to push through the Legislature
his “Kingfish” program for investiga
tion of New Orleans and reputed im
peachment of Its authorities.
All signs pointed to a sweeping in
vestigation of the administration of
Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley in New
Orleans and there was a widespread
rumor that a petition was in prospect
calling for the impeachment of two
judges of the New Orleans Civil Dis
trict Court in Long's ‘‘mopping-up”
process against the city rule.
Long's personally-supervised House
bills were ready to skip through the
Senate where he and the administra
tion of Gov. O. K. Allen, his chief of
staff, held a safe majority.
Given Free Hand.
As passed in the House over roar
ing objections of a weak minority,
this program gives the Governor a
free hand with the State Militia
beyond court Interference, added
strength in election machinery and a
State police force of personnel suf
ficient to enforce law anywhere in the
State.
Long claimed that this legislation
would insure ‘‘honest elections” and
furnish a weapon to break the “vice
ring” in New Orleans, but the mi
nority leaders from country parishes
declared that the Senator was seeking
to wrest the election machinery and
thereby perpetuate himself in office.
Mayor Walmsley said that he would
welcome any investigation into the
affairs of New Orleans, and today the
speaker of the House and the presi
dent of the Senate tvere only waiting
passage of the investigation resolution
by the Senate to appoint a joint com
mittee to conduct the investigation.
Asked about the reported impeach
ment petition, Senator Long refused*to
discuss it other than to say "it is not
In circulation at this time.”
Arrests Are Made.
Joe Messina, personal attendant to
Senator Long and a member of the
State highway police, today arrested
F. Edward Herbert, special writer for
the New Orleans States, and Leon
Trice, newspaper photographer, for
contempt of the Senate Finance Com
mittee.
Mayor Walmsley also made arrests.
Two Guardsmen on leave from the
city registration office were arrested
last night at a ”5-cents-a-dance” hall
and charged with being drunk and
disturbing the peace. They were or
dered to appear in Recorder s Court
tonight for trial.
Tension Prevails.
Tlie capital city was charged with
tension after a near riot in the House
over the attempts of Representative
George Lester of West Feliciana Par
ish to remove “Long and his hence
men” entirely from the House cham
ber by invoking completely the rule
against lobbying.
Previously sent off of the floor. Long
was talking to members of the House
from the rear over the guard rail. He
eagerly watched each movement as
administration leaders and opponents
rushed down front with shouting and
fist clutching until Representative
Lester, a leader of the anti-Long mi
nority, modified his motion on the
grounds that if he invoked it the Long
men would also order the press out
of the chamber.

called at Hugh Labatt's hotel suite
Wednesday night and Thursday.
Hugh's mission in disappearing from
his suite late yesterday.
The activities of the family in their
efforts to obtain the brewer's release.
Seized in Side Road.
The impression has grown on the
basis of stories told by district resi
dents that Labatt was taken from i
his car not on the main highway, |
which it was presumed he had trav
eled. but on the Egremont side road,
6ome 15 miles north of Sarnia.
Various gangsters from the United
States have been mentioned in con
nection with the case and fingerprints
were said to have been sent from De- I
troit to Albany for comparison with i
those on record from the kidnaping
last year in the New York capital of
John O'Connell, scion of a New York
political family.
Telis Story of Kidnaping.
Attorney General Roebuck made
the following statement concerning
Lablatt's kidnaping:
"He was blindfolded and had been
continuously blindfolded since the
time he was taken. He was left in
the vicinity of Forest Hill Village,
from where he took a taxi to the
Royal York Hotel (where Hugh1
awaited him).
"He was immediately carried from :
there, by his own friends, in a car to
London.
"At the time of his release he drove !
between five and six hours, he thinks, I
but his judgment is that of a man
blindfolded
“He also thinks the kidnapers were
killing time in the latter drive in
waiting for darkness.
At the time of his capture, he
drove around for a time which he
estimates at 12 hours. He was in
Ontario all the time. He has no
knowledge of having passed over any
water.
"For some reason, those who took
charge of him failed to notify either
. Toronto or provincial police.
Regrets Lark of Co-operation.
“His arrival resulted in a lack of
co-operation between the authorities
and his friends. There is no hot trail
of the abductors. It is most unfor
tunate and necessary that the police
forces of both the province and the
city have been very seriously handi
capped in their work by their inabil
ity to secure complete control of the
situation.
"Mr. Labatt arrived at London at
3:45 a m. today. In this office there
is no knowledge as to what financial
arrangements, if any, have been made
between the friends of the captured
man and the criminals. Whatever
arrangement was made did not come
either from Hugh Labatt or his so
licitor. Mr. Ivey.
"We are now clearly certain that
the contact made in Toronto was a
genuine one. I might add that Mr.
Labatt's eyes were closed with ad
hesives and glasses drawn over the
adhesive tape. When let out of the
car. he was told not to remove either
the tape or the glasses until the auto
had moved cm.”

‘Kingfish’ Takes ‘Kingpin’ Role
In Lording Self Over Louisiana
Senator Long Dictates to Governor and
Legislature in Attempt to Hold
Political Control of State.
BY WESTBROOK PEGLER,
BATON ROUGE. La., August 17.—
Huey Long's Legislature, meeting in
Huey Long’s 33-story State Capitol,
proceeds with jovial cynicism to en
act the legislation which will estab
lish a military dictatorship in the
State of Louisiana. The boys in his
House of Representatives shove his
program right along as Huey, him
self, swaggers through the small
crowd of spectators who are held
back from the floor of the chamber
by an ornamental bronze rail. Huey
has been expelled from the actual
legislative inclosure by a coup of the
small opposition who are fighting a
rear-guard action in a defeatist mood.
They invoke a trick rule whereby
unauthorized persons may be ex
cluded by a vote of 10 members. But
Huey continues his lobbying from
behind the rail. He shoots the cuffs
of his rumpled linen suit, tugs at his
waving plume of red hair, squeegees
the sweat off his face with his fore
finger and snaps it away.
Comfortable in Governor's Office.
Huey leans over the rail to beckon
and talk to his boys at their seats
on the floor. He drifts in and out
of the Governor's private office, which
is nominally that of O. K. Allen. He
does as Huey says and if Huey tells
him to keep quiet he keeps quiet.
Huey drops into the Governor’s chair
to re$t his feet, which have been sup
porting his weight for some hours on
a marble floor. He throws a leg over
the chair arm and snaps a switch
button. This turns on a loud-speaker
concealed on the panelled wood wall
of the Governor's office and brings
the debate to him. A vote is called
and Huey snaps on another button.
The members at their desks record
their votes by pressing buttons which
illuminate little red or green bulbs
on a scoreboard behind the speaker's
desk. It resembles the modern ball
yard scoreboard on which the kid in
the press coop rings up the balls and
strikes by tapping the figures on a
keyboard.
There is a duplicate electrical board
in the Governor’s office. Huey hops
up from the Governor's chair to count
the lights, green for aye and red for
nay. The greens have it by a fat ma
The boys have rushed through nine
bills in a short time which make him
commander of a secret police force of
unlimited numbers, place the State
militia at his command for any pur
pose, even to the seizure of local gov
ernments and authorize him to hire
unlimited numbers of special deputies
at $5 a day to police elections. In
New Orleans, for example, he may
hire 50.000 special deputies to regulate
an election.
Assets in Election.
The 50,000 deputies, of course, would
be voters themselves and their vote
would swing any election for Huey.
Wherever there is a situation which
has the appearance of a contest after
this, Huey may buy the election at $5
per vote and charge the cost to the
taxpayers of that particular commu
nity.
Huey's secret police force will closely
resemble Gerardo Machado's Porra in
Cuba or the G. P. U. in Soviet Russia.
No man will know whether the next
man was his mend or his enemy. The
force will belong to the present State
Bureau of Criminal Identification and
Investigation.
This is merely a Anger print bureau
at the moment but the new law, when
the Senate approves It, will permit
Huey, through his Governor, to in
crease the force to the proportions
of an army. No limit is fixed on the
salaries to be paid the Louisiana Porra
or G. P. U.
Huey sneers at the suggestion of
armed revolt against the dictatorship.
He says it is no dictatorship but just
a batch of reform legislation to abol
ish lotteries, gambling houses and
houses of prostitution which undoubt
edly do abound in New Orleans, where
the city administration licked him.
Such phenomena are present also in
equal abundance, in the parishes of
St. Bernard and Jefferson, contiguous
to New Orleans, but within Huey's
political domain. Huey has not mo
lested St. Bernard and Jefferson but
he moved troops into New Orleans to
suppress vice and. incidentally, seize
and edit the election rolls. How
closely they were edited remains to be
learned but it does not matter now.
He can hire the entire underworld
and all the unemployed to vote for
him at $5 each, as special deputies
sworn to protect the purity of the
ballot.
Battles Against Press.
The press coop is a row of seats
behind a long desk on the floor be
neath the speaker's stand. There is
a wild row on the floor in the argu
ment on the brown shirt or secret
police bill. One member wishes to
rule the reporters out of the press
coop on the ground that the rule
against the presence of unauthorized
persons, invoked against Huey, him
self, applies to the journalists, too.
The dictator has been denouncing
the "lying press” to the citizens for a
long time and there is some prejudice
against the fourth estate. Huey has
a propaganda paper himself called
the Progress, which is printed at Meri
dian. Miss. Papers printed within the
State must pay a 2 per cent tax
on their advertising revenue.
His tax on the advertising revenues
of the papers is the first move toward
censorship of the press. The papers
are paying the usual taxes incidental
to the newspaper industry, but Huey
resented their hostility and stabbed
them in the bank roll.
The move to run the reporters out
of the press coop came when George
Lester of West Feliciana complained
against Huey's lobbying over the rail
of the chamber.
Gang’s A11 Here.
Huey has leaned over the rail to
holler, “All our men are here now; j
move the question.”
Mr. Lester demands that Huey and
his henchmen be put all the way out
ot the hall.
Up jumps Mr. Jim Horton at this
point, waving his fists. He played
foot ball at Centenary College under
Bo McMillan. Weight about 210 now.
‘T ain't no damn henchman,” he
yells, threatening to punch Mr. Lester.
The sergeant at arms moves in with
his loaded walking stick. His name
is Tommy Thomas. He is fat and ris
ing 50, but he, too, played foot ball
in his day. He was imported from
Scranton, Pa., to play on Louisiana
State in 1908 and remained in Baton
Rouge as a political job holder. He
was captain in his final year at school
and in the big game of the year his
team licked the Tulane team, whose
captain was T. Semmes Walmsley, the
present mayor of New Orleans. Mr.
TRAINED FLEA INDUSTRY BOOMS,
2 CIRCUSES ADDED UNDER N. R. A.\
---
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 17—The
trained flea industry in Times Square
has solved its "unemployment” prob
lem and three circuses are attracting
the crowds where only one ruled
before.
The establishments operate under
an N. R. A. concessions code, but the
management decided "work-spread
ing” provisions should be extended to
the insect performers.
Teaches Napoleon Juggling.
"We've done pretty well under the
Blue Eagle,” "Prof.” Roy Heckler, the
! proprietor, said today as he coached
a flea named Napoleon, "the smallest
| living performer In the world," through
i a juggling act. Napoleon is an un
derstudy for Prince Henry, "a juggling
wonder you'll have to see to really
appreciate."
During the last year we've put 40
unemployed fleas to work. That’s
what they were to us—they were out
of work.
“We’ve opened a newr branch on
Sixth avenue and another one up on
Broadway at Fifty-second street.
We re packing In the celebrities up
there.”
Napoleon was permitted a moment’s
A \
| rest while his boss explained the new
angles of the business.
"All our fleas,” the professor con
tinued. "operate now under the new
regulations—a six-day week instead
of seven, and weve cut down the
hours from eight to seven a day.
"We’ve branched out in other wavs
too We put on shows now by special
appointment for private parties.”
Exhibits Ballet Dancers.
Picking up Napoleon with a pair of
tweezers, "Prof.” Heckler put the bug
into a velvet-lined mother-of-pearl
box and brought out the ballet
dancers.
! "Fritzi, one of our best dancers,
died during the hot spell,” he said.
"We lost her in spite of all we could
do. Hot weather is always hard on
fleas We lost Anthony, too. He was
a star on the foot ball team.”
The performers are imported from |
Italy and Spain because domestic va
rieties cannot be trained. Heckler
said. They usually live about six
months.
The "Professor" no longer names
fleas after living persons.
"I named one once after a woman
and she didn't appreciate it,” he ex
plained.
»
Walmsley is Huey's bitterest political
enemy and Huey is now fixing to have
him removed from office and, possibly,
sentenced to prison. There is almost
nothing that he cannot do with the
powers which are being voted to him
these few’ days.
Mr. Hoflpauier joined Mr. Lester’s
squak against Huey's lobbying, but
turned the trick against him by insist
ing that the reporters were unauthor
ized persons, too. Moreover, he said,
they were guilty of damnable abuse
of the privileges of the House in send
ing out lying reports.
Mr. Lester withdraws his request In
order to protect the freedom of the
press.
Joe Hamiter got the floor again and
again the threat of armed revolution
was heard.
“You are going to cause plenty of
bloodshed before you get through,’’
says he.
Freedom at Stake.
The people of the State seem unable
to appreciate the meaning of the pro
ceedings which are wiping out the
freedom of their courts and elections
and inching upon the freedom of their
press, or perhaps they are just in a
reckless mood, carried away by the
eloquent and mischievous bearing of
their own Hitler. There are not more
than 200 spectators present and there
is no telling, off-hand, what propor
tion .of them are lobbyists.
Huey is tired of Washington and
the United States Senate and is com
ing back home to elect himself Gov
ernor again in the next holding of the
solemn referendum which, no doubt,
he can do very easily, God sparing him.
He has not had a drink since the
adjournment of Congress in Washing
ton. Drams never did him any good.
He often over-spoke himself when he
was looking through the bottom of a
glass and on one memorable occasion
about a year ago in a dressy but ne
cessarily exclusive club on Long Is
land, he was popped in the eye by
one of the members for a breach of
manners. The Senator went on to
Milwaukee where he appeared the
next day wearing a shanty on his
eye, claiming that he had been
ganged by a crowd of low characters.
But it never was necessary to gang
Huey. In a physical fight conducted
according to the American tradition,
he could not lick a hen butterfly with
a flit-gun and the accepted explana
tion of the famous battle of the gent's
room is that he spoke out of turn at
a moment when he did not have his
bodyguard at his elbow, and was
socked in the eye, even as any one
else.
Lets Mercenaries Fight.
The Kingfish is only 40 years old
and is about as well off physically as
most men of his age, but does not
think it advisable to engage personally
persons who desire to pop him on the
eve He has discovered that mer
cenaries can be hired for moderate
sums, and at the expense of the tax
payers to represent him in such con
tests and therefore refers such chal
lengers to his bodyguards. He calls
them his thug men.
Der Kingflsh's war is a long and
complex story, but It might surprise
you to learn that the ordinary citizens,
such as you meet on trains and just
anywhere, do not share that loathing
for him which is expressed by people
at a distance who form their opinions
from their reading of the newspapers
and political reviews.
Huey is recognized even in Wash
ington as one of the smartest-sleeve
statesmen this country has developed
and a first-class lawyer. He has a
low-down familiar way of orating to
the ordinary, folksy type of citizen
who is easily flattered, and he some
times goes off into the far country of
his State and sleeps in his clothes,
right on the cabin floor with the
humblest families to demonstrate his
humility. Arising in the morning, all
rumpled and towseled and bleary-eyed
to water his face and eyes under the
pump and partake of whatever there
is for breakfast, he sells himself be
yond challenge as the friend of the
people in that vicinity.
Moreover, he has bribed them with
concrete roads all over the State, free
bridges instead of toll-ferries, and free
text books for the school kids Al
though he has taken care of his
friends out of the public funds, he
has delivered certain appreciable re
sults which help to explain his com
plete command of the State govern
ment. Nobody has yet been able to
prove that Huey took care of himself.

Although a large canopy had been
provided at Camp Good Will for the
convenience of spectators, the heavy
rains cut down attendance to a min
imum. The camp will close Its season
Tuesday, due to curtailed funds. More
than 160 children and a score of
mothers from less favored sections of
the city have been acocmmodated at

FUNDAMILABLE
Project From Capital to
Nashville Made Possible
by P. W. A. Grant.
A lighted airway from Washington
to Nashville. Tenn., was made pos
sible when Public Works Adminis
trator Ickes late yesterday made
$465,000 available to the Commerce
Department for that purpose.
A feature of the project will be the
placing of 11 small radio stations
along the route to provide point-to
point communication for planes and
to furnish weather information. The
stations will be installed near Cul
peper. Warren. Lynchburg. Roanoke,
Pulaski and Marion, all in Virginia,
and Bristol, Morristown, Knoxville,
Harriman and Sparta, in Tennessee.
"In addition to providing full air
mail service, the airway will open a
direct route from Washington to the
Southwest.” a statement from P. W.
A. explained. At present, contract air
mail planes are using the route, but
are unable to fly at night and cannot
carry passengers because of the lack
of proper facilities, the statement
pointed out.
The lighted airway will cover 580
miles and will require 10 months to
complete. Landing fields and beacons
will be established in accordance with
standard policy.
TWO FIREMEN DIE
AS TRUCKUPSETS
Six Others Are Injured in
Massachusetts in Answer
ing False Alarm.
By the Associated PrMS
LOWELL. Mas*. August 17.—Two
Dracut firemen were killed and six
others injured, one of them critically,
here today when the Collinsville fire
truck overturned, pinning its crew
beneath it, after skidding on wet car
tracks and crashing into a telegraph
pole.
The apparatus was speeding in re
sponse to an alarm that subsequently
proved to have been falsely sounded
by a short circuit.
Firemen John Dillon. 40. married
and the father of two children, and
Robert McAnertle, 28. were dead when
they reached the hospital.
Joseph Horman. 20. was in a crit
ical condition in St. John's Hospital.
The lower part of his abdomen had
been torn away and nine of his fellow
firemen volunteered to give him their
blood in a transfusion.
Also In the hospital were Charles
Usher, 23, operator of the fire truck;
Leo Sandy. 23: Charles Joyce. 22;
F>Ux Wilen and Walter Pouillot, 37.
George Cullinan. 32, was treated and
released.
Lowell fire and protective companies
were called out to bring apparatus to
raise the heavy truck. The top of an
ambulance which responded was torn
when it became enmeshed in the tele
graph wires carrying 1,200 volts, which
the falling pole brought dow>n, but no
damage resulted from the electricity.
