Roosevelt to start his press confer
ence.
That, too, is an old story with Bill
Collins. He has peeped in on most
of the press conferences since the
Wilson administration. In his
Georgetown home he has auto
graphed photographs of every
President of the United States from
Roosevelt to Roosevelt.
This intrepid warrior of the press
forces met. and married Miss Alice
Turvey, Georgetown girl. and is
the proud father of three girls-all
married. Marion, the eldest, is the
wife of Percy Dorsey and they have
boy and girl. Margaret is wed to
Raymond Hindley and they have
one child. Catherine, whose mar
riage name is Mrs. Edward Duffy,
is the only one who has not pre-
sented Bill with grandchild: but,
as the boss says, Catherine is only
a baby herself. She is his youngest.
There you have the evolution of
Little Willie Collins, who was first
called Bill by the newspapermen.

all those foreigners" from other
States down on Capitol Hill. He let
out his first yell here on the morn
ing of September %. 1879. in the
Rutherford B. Hayes administration,
when William A. Wheeler was Vice
President.
II never heard of William B..
Wheeler" William Collins confesses,
though afterward I became some
thing of wheeler myself" He can
never forget those long grinds on
the bicycle.
Little Willie was a product of
the first ward of blessed memory.
Nobody ever hears of the first ward
nowadays. It, too went with the
wind.
Since he lived in the parish, Little
Willie was sent to old st. Matthews
School on K street between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth There the
good Sisters taught him the three
RS and reverence for law and
order-and lawmakers from whom
he's been taking orders ever since.
At least, that's what he says. OF
course. he takes orders from nobody
Merely gives them. He orders the
newspaper men around. Sees that
they behave themselves.
When Little Willie left the paro-
chial school he went on farther up
town on Massachusetts, avenue, be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth,
where he matriculated at the Force
School. Some of his classmates be-
came representative men in all walks
of life, here, there and yon. They
were doctors, merchants, lawyers
and even actors. Prominent locally
among them were the late Philander
Knox, jr.: Randall Hagner and Mur-
ray Cobb.
Payne -Aldrich Tariff Fight.
Bill Collins interests, naturally,
center on Capitol Hill, where he has
spent the best part of his life. When
he went there as young man in
charge of the Senate Office press
room the Pay1le-Aldrich tariff fight
was in full fury. That's something
else that has gone with the wind
the tariff. You never even hear the
word mentioned these days, with
reciprocal trade agreements and
what not. Yet men almost fought
to the death over the tariff And
what did it get EN-? Mr.. Collins
asks. Well, what? Just tariff bill.
From the days of Little Willie, who
rode the bike, to the days of Bill
Collins, dignified superintendent of
the Senate press gallery, many mo-
mentous events have taken place.
In a reminiscent mood Mr.. Collins
can recall them all-of the tip Of
his tongue. Thus he can tell you
about the day President Wilson read
his war message to Congress. And
what stir that created, with the
whole Nation rallying round the flag.
Bill Collins also witnessed the two
draft drawings, picking out those
little paper pellets that sent the boys
to war. Vivid in his memory is Ted
dy Roosevelt-and Bill Collins can
sit by the hour and recall the deeds
of the indomitable colonel of the
Rough Riders. He also remembers
Theodore Roosevelt before the Cam
paign Committee, the Ballinger-
P1nchot investigation, the inquiry

Answer to Yesterdays Puzzle.

into the sinking Of the Titanic-and
others in number too great to men
ton. Wherever there was a Senate
investigation there stood William
Collins, in charge of the press.
Saw Historic Events.
What that man hasn't seen, in
historic events, amounts to very lit
tle-for bill Collins has been blessed
with good health and he was usually
around and about when the bugles
blew. He had charge of the press at
the funeral of the Unknown Soldier
and the funeral of President Harding
both services in the rotunda of the
Capitol. He was there when the late
King of Belgium and the former
Prince of Wales appeared on the
floor of the Senate. Campaign tours
with Presidents and pretenders to
the presidency are old stories to Bill
Collins. He had charge of the press
and travelled with Herbert Hoover in
1923, looked after the press after
Hoover was made President and held
the same Office in the 1882 campaign.
Consequently. Bill Collins knows his
newspapermen and they know him.
He knew the newspapermen of old
and the youngsters of today are his
pals. They have to be, or they'd
never get to first base down around
the Capitol.
'Marse Henry" Watterson was a
special favorite with Bill Collins.
He loved the old editor of the Louis
vile Courier journal. His friends
among the corps Of Washington cor
respondents are legion and he has
letters from them, upon the occa-
sion OF his silver jubilee on the Hill,
that he would not trade for gold.
Men like Dick Oulahan, Gus Kar-
geor, o. K. Davis, Jack Nevin, Henry
Jones, John Boyle. Louis Garkey,
George Holmes-all gone-were his
friends. Just a bit of moisture
dampens the Collins sight when he
mentions their names. They were
journalists all, and good fellows to
boot.
Attends Press Conferences.
In the course of his work Mr.. Col
Inns shifts from Capitol Hill to the
White House. There on press con-
ference days with President Roose-
velt - Tuesdays and Fridays he
meets all his gang Of the Press
Club. 1t is his duty to stand at
the entrance door to the executive
offices with his fellow press super
intendent at the House gallery, Bill
Donaldson, and count noses. When
all bona f1de newspapermen have
gone through the portals Bill Col
Inns yells at the top Of his voice, IAN
