'KINGFISH' HUFF
SEES EMPIRE
TUMBLING
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 3 (1.N.5.).
The once powerful political king
dom of Senator Huey (“King
fish”) Long is crumbling, and if
an election were held tomorrow
the man who has been virtual
dictator of Louisiana for many
years would go down to defeat by
a 75-000 vote margin.
This was the claim of Francis
Williams, member of the Louisiana
public service commission and one
of the leaders of the forces that
have fought the “Kingfish” (or
the “Crawfish.” as they call him
now) since 1925.
Discrepancies Shown
Wholesale desertions from the
ranks of Long’s followers are ham
stringing the “Kingfish,” who suf
fered a trip-hammer blow at the
hands of his enemies yesterday,
when discrepancies were shown in
six ballot boxes used in the No
vember election, according to Wil
Hams.
Anti-Long leaders pointed to the
action of two Criminal Court
judges, both elected on Huey’s
ticket, as proof of this.
Judge Frank Echezabal dis
missed the pro-Long grand jury
that had attempted to block a re
count of the ballots and ordered
selection of a new jury.
Judge Makes Good
Judge Alexander O’Donnell
made good his pledge to see that
the boxes were opened and investi
gated in his court.
Williams declared:
“When the ‘Crawfish.’ through
his puppet governor. O. K. Allen,
called out the militia to seize
the boxes, suspicion here ripened
into full conviction that fraud
’ was so gross that an inspection
of the ballots involved would
startle the public.”
Williams added:
“This result has been at
tained. The disclosures when
the boxes were checked by
prominent citizens as tellers in
open court are adequate enough
to convince any open-minded
citizen of the State that the
Long domination in Louisiana
is a fraudulent one.
“The coming city election will
see Long beaten, for citizens
are determined to have the
honest ballot count and will
start his parade into ob
scurity.”
Bennings Fair Set

Plans are being made for an ex
tensive ticket sale to the National
City Fair by the Police Charity
Organization and the Police and

Wars. Mrs. Ada Minnix, social

The fair, Washington’s first
event of its kind, will be held the

on a 60-acre tract adjoining Ana
costia Road. A huge array of

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
NAFF FflRO GOES
ONHAFWEEK
The Washington Navy Yard
will go on a five-day week begin
ning next Sunday under an
emergency order issued today by
Secretary of Navy Claude A.
Swanson.
Navy yard employes are work
ing now on a five and a half day
week basis and receiving pay for
six days work. Under Swanson’s
order, however, they will receive
pay for only five days.
The reduction, which means a
40 hour week, is made necessary
by insufficient funds for carrying
on navy yard work pending a
decision in connection with ad
justments of navy yard work to
the shipbuilders code. The order
applies to all navy yards.

GLAVIS IS VINDICATED AFTER 24 YEARS
Order of President
Restores His U.
S. Status
By DUNCAN FORSYTH
The mills of the gods grind
slowly, but they grind exceeding
fine.
For that reason an eight or
10 line executive order of Pres
ident Roosevelt is packed with
drama. The order reads:
“Mr. Louis R. Glavis, now
serving in the excepted position
of Director of Investigations,
Department of the Interior, is
hereby reinstated in the Civil
Service without regard to any
charges heretofore preferred
against him, and may be ap
pointed in any department,
establishment or office in the
classified Civil Service of the
United States in any position
for which his qualifications
fit him, and where there is
need of his services, without
reference to the requirements
of the Civil Service rules.
“This order is issued on the
recommendation of the Secre
tary of the Interior.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.”
Twenty-four years ago Louis R.
Glavis was employed in a minor
capacity in the Department of
the Interior. That department was
I involved at the time in some de
cidedly unpleasant happenings, at
the background of which, it was
charged, lay widespread corrup
tion and neglect of duty. '
Pinchot Was Chief
Gifford Pinchot, present gover
nor of Pennsylvania, was chief of
the forestry division, Department
of Agriculture, under Presidents
Theodore Roosevelt and Taft. He
initiated a comprehensive program
of forest conservation.
Taft's Secretary of the Interior,
Richard Achilles Ballinger, was
accused of violating the principles
of the Pinchot-Roosevelt conser
vation plan, and some even held
that he was unduly favoring the
power interests in releasing lands
to them.
Glavis turned against his chief,
Ballinger, and wrote a letter to
Taft protesting against Ballinger’s
administration of the department.

As a result he was summarily
fired.
Ballinger Retired
Pinchot also was forced out.
but Ballinger could not withstand
the storm that had arisen, and he,
too, was obliged to retire, after
the row had assumed national
proportions.
Meanwhile, there was a Con
gressional investigation, in which
Louis D. Brandeis represented
Glavis.
Glavis, however, was definitely
out, and his career in the Govern
ment service apparently ruined.
It was 20 years before the tide
turned in his favor.
Then Secretary Ickes re
appointed him in the Department
to the position of chief investi
gator—a much more important
jub than he had previously held
there. Still eager to expose cor
ruption in high places. Glavis de

first day of his new service, to

He Checks On Awards
His present task is to check
public works awards, to make
certain that there will be no
profiteering in the national
emergency.
The order directing his rein
statement in the classified civil
service is perhaps the most sweep
ing order of its kind ever issued.
It is a complete vindication of
a public servant who. because of
his eagerness to serve his coun
try, was labeled a villain and
megalomaniac almost a genera
tion ago. and who has overcome
the storm of criticism to resume
a place where he can once more
be of service to America in a
time of crisis.

Mr. Gennerich had held a shot
gun so that its muzzle pointed in
his mouth and apparently had
