 An Active Spot
 The building formerly used as an office by the old Waterville Cutlery company, which had fallen into a badly delapadated condition after the closing of the factory and the raging of all other buildings of the plant several years ago, has now become one of the most important centers in the local community. In the future 1t is to be known as Fraternity hall. The development of the old building and its new name a most interesting story. :.
 Several months ago, Goodwill lodge, K. of F., Waterville camp, Patriotic Order Sons of America and Waterville camp, Patriotic or der of Americans, finding them selves without an adequate meeting place, within their means, were given permission by the Chase Cos owners of the old Cutlery prop erty, to use the story and one-half building at 2 Boyden street, fl they could put it into a condition, suitable to their needs. These or ganizations did a great deal oi work cleaning out the rubbish and converting a portion of the first floor into suitable quarters fol meetings. Electric lights were in stalled and a stove set up for heat ing.
 In the late spring the lodges in vited Casper s. Davis, Jr., post American Legion to share the us' of the rooms with them and thu offer was accepted. The legion thei undertook to provide other badl! needed Improvements, painting the interior and. installing a new floor in the entrya and the room uset for a kitchen. The materials neces sary were furnished by the post ol individual members. Many mem bers also contributed labor ant other labor was obtained througi the courtsey of the. mutual ait mployment fund. A kitchen range was also installed by thu legion. The result has been an al most unbelievable improvement il the building. ..
 The control of the building, will permission of the Chase Co.'S, rest in the hands of joint committee of representative from each or

 Danziger said he wouldn't stand for that; he was empowered only to oppose the tax.

 Ut happened that was the night Long first called out his militia and began raiding New Orleans gambling houses. Anti-Lopg men heard of the party and spread stories of a wild orgy. That party, indeed, later became one of the bases of Huey's impeachment.
 Danziger was not mentioned in the scandal until he insisted upon issuing a public statement about 1t. Thereafter he and the gover- nor were personal friends, later political allies.

Fond of Kingfsh

F. said of the Kingfsh: "Huey was impetuous, often vindic- tive, but was very fond of him. I believe his basic, motives were honest and essentially unselfish, but some of the methods he used were equally atrocious."
 Danziger first served Long pro- fe sionally when he made the fight in supreme court against Lieut.. Gov. Paul Cyr's custer manauver. Later he frequently represented Long in the courts.
 After Long became senator, Danziger made many trips with him to Washington. There they shared 8 room from which the Kingfsh would oust his body guards.
 Danziger became an adviser on most of the problems the senator was attempting to handle.
 A susky oldtser of 55, Danziger swims a great deal on the beach of his development at Grand Isle. But he never was able to interest Long in sports.

comm ission to function. He even refused to sign opposition mem- bers salary vouchers.
 But they wouldn't give up. So Long persuaded Martin, $6,ooo sheriff, to run for a $5,000 job as public service commissioner. Martin won by an ominously small mapority, assumed office perma- turely, and delivered control of the body into Huey's hands.

ganization using the privileges. This committee is headed by Raymon G. Monroe. The Chase Co.'S are held safe from any responsibility for. property or personal damage and always retain the right to ap- propriate the building for other uses on proper notice to the present occupant. As result a very cor dial and cooperative attitude exists between the parties concerned. The unit of Davis post, auxiliary has recently obtained permission to use the building for it's meetings and social events. The complete schedule for the use of the build ing Is now as follows: Mondays, Goodwill lodge, K. of F.; Tuesdays and Saturdays, Casper s. Davis, J.. post, American Legion; Wednes- days, Waterville camp, Patriotic Order of Americans; Thursdays, | Waterville camp, Patriotic Order Sons of America; and Fridays, Davis post, auxiliary. A request came to the point committee from the Fairmount Community club for a night a month for it's regular meeting. As all nights were al- ready assigned the legion post of- fered to waive it's rights of the first Tuesday evening of each month to the club and the offer was accept ed. The cost of operating the building is divided between the or- ganizations in proportion to the use which is made of 1t. The legion activities during the coming years promise to be sufficient to justify the hall on two nights each week and the post agreed to take the respon- sibility for the same. It was felt that Saturday night would be most useful since many members are unable to attend the Thursday meetings and as result, many meetings will be transferred to | Saturday, when advisable.
 At special meeting of the com mittee in charge of the building the name was officially changed to Fraternity hall.

 If responsibility is what it wants, the decision may serve to introduce a genuine dark horse Alfred D. Danziger. He is New Orleans attorney, realty dealer and operator of a Gulf resort. He enjoyed the intimate friendship and political confidence of LonG to a degree unsuspected by almost anyone.

 1t was understood, though. thai Long promised, him the reward at some future time, perhaps dur ing the coming election. Huey seems to have promised a good many men that job.

Parish Boss as Sheriff

-Te was born 50 years ago, at tended the state university, taught agriculture year, and later managed large plantation. At 27 he became sheriff of his parish, and down here the sheriff is the political boss if no large cities are in the area.
 He joined the state central committee and the state executive committee, thus coming forcibly to the attention of Huey Long.
 In 1882 Long was fumbling for control of the state public service commission. It would be potent weapon, but just then things were at stalemate.
 Long couldn't boss the recal citrant majority, but he could and did withhold all money for the

 New Orleans, Sept. 23.--In the amen corners of New Orleans ho- tels, where old political alignments are being bolstered and new ones formed; there is a great buzz of speculation regarding the political futures of little-known members of the Long organization.
 By certain factions, at least, dark horses are being groomed- men whose names have not been associated generally with the inner circles of the Kingfish Elm pire.
 Consider Wade Omer Martin, for example, who announces he will be candidate for Longs senate seat. Since he has aided in a good many of Huey's more trifling connivances, Martin is no stranger to politics. But in race for the senate he certainly is a dark horse in competition with such prominent figures as Gov. o. K. Allen, Supreme Court Justice John B. Fournet, or House Speaker Allen Ellender.
 Nevertheless, there is much talk of a rich prize for this am bilious upstart, an ex-farmer from deep Teche county that was inn mortaIized by Evangeline, symbol of faith and loyalty.
 Martin is a big, personable fel- low and has lot of friends. An able orator, too; you ought to lear his bass tremolo when he describes his devotion to the Cajuns, or when he talks or flood control and roars commands for the river to stay away from his and his constituents doors.

Wallace Is Magician"

Ihe lawyer says he was the first to put golf club in Longs 8 hands. The senator smacked a few balls down the fairway, decided 1t was too easy, and gave up. Whether Danziger will have any part, or wants any part, in the reconstruction of the Kingfish Empire is a matter for guessing. l do know, however, that he has been receiving in conference here the present acknowledged leaders of the machine.
 Legislative magician of the or- ganization is George H. Wallace, knswn to have authored ma- jority of the many laws passed to clinch Long's dictatorial powers. Wallace came out of Winn par ish and was boyhood pal of Huey. He studied law and had revealed no political acumen up to the time he served on the state tax commission and later became private secretary to the governor. In, 1882 he was appointed first assistant attorney general.
 It is said in Baton Rouge, the capital, that Wallace can dash out and formulate a perfectly phrased bill in the time an opponent re. quires to put the title on paper. '
 Flared Up at Huey
 Wallace is of the quiet. secre- tarial type. It is doubted that he has any political ambition, or could gratify 1t if he had. His only known flash of fiery spirit came fast April during an argu- ment with Long. You're fired, you double-blanked so-and-so!" s.-rieked the Kingfish.
 ."You can't fire me, you ?&s!! ape," yelled Wallace. I've quit!"
 But he didn't quit. Long knew how to keep the men who were most valuable to him.
