time, he worked up to be assistant
to the then superintendent of the
Senate press gallery, Jim Preston.
As Young Bill Collins-the nick
name Little Willie became a memory
with the loss Of his bicycle and his
broom-the present superintendent
of the Senate press gallery came
to know the great and near-great
who trod Capitol Hill. In his youth
he had heard and seen the giants
Of their day-for he got started on
his bike about the time William
B. Mckinley was President Of the
United States.
The Senate at that time harbored
such celebrities as Tom Platt of
New York, Eugene Hale Of Maine,
Charles w. Fairbanks Of Indiana,
afterward Vice President; Knute
Nelson of Minnesota, Tom Carter
of Montana. George F. Hoar Of
Massachusetts,, and George G. Vest
OF Missouri, famous for his eulogy
to the dog.
Neither Borah Of Idaho or Cotton
Ed" Smith had come to the Senate
at that time, and these are the
only two men who officially preceded
Bill Collins. They had Just been
elected before he went to work in
the Senate press gallery. Nobody
in the House of Representatives has
this distinction. No one there ante
dates William j. Collins on Capitol
Hill. The 55th Congress was, in
session when Little Willie Collins

bodies were ofncially notified of the
fatal encounter, and both bodies
deplored the death of Jonathan
Cilley. On February % his funeral
took place from the House floor, the
gallery being crowded with friends
and acquaintances of the deceased.
A general attendance of Senators
was also noted
Many persons of the present gen.
Grafton will best recall the corner
where once stood Mrs. Peyton's
boarding house as the site of the
Ford Motor Co. Building, where is
now housed the Police Traffic
Bureau. And still another gener-
alton of few years back will recall
1t as the corner where Fritz Reuter-,
the restaurateur, once served meals

In addition to tea and coffee.
Odeon Building Recalled.
It was known as the Odeon Build
ing and after the burning Of the Ma
tional Theater on March S. l845. the
Odeon Theater was opened here on
November 80. 1916. as sort of forced
measure. The destruction of the
old National followed an inaugural
ball given here to President Polk.
The Odeon was little theater,
we are told, being able to accommo-
date only between 800 and 400 per-
sons. It was opened by a Mr..
Kilmiste, and Mr.. Mudd tells us that
the company consisted of &c. F.
Brown, Mrs. Mossop, Mr.. Littel, Mr..
Gibbon, George Jordan, Miss Dugard,
Mr.. Knowles, Miss Eliza Kilmiste,
Mr. MCGEE, Miss Emma Kilmiste.
Mr. D. Hayes and others. Various
plays were given by the company,
and January 4, 1847, Mile. Augusta,
Mile. Dimier and M. Frederick,
noted dancers. appeared. On ac-
count Of the extraordinary expense
incurred, the manager announced
that he would be compelled to double
the prices of admission, which had
been Is and so cents"
Mr.. Mudd further says: "A local
play entitled Did You Ever Send
Your Wife to Georgetown was pre-
sented," and adds: Il do not know
what particular benefit was derived
from man sending his wife to
Georgetown, but the play appeared
to be great success. It was played
several nights and was repeated at
intervals for quite a time"
Continuing his remarks on the
Odeon Theater, Mr.. Mudd says:

Little Willie Collins Has Been Member
of Senate Employees Association
80 Years Next Tuesday

the year 1898 when he got on his
bicycle and chased copy from the
Capitol to The Star. For three years
little Willie was the pride and Joy
of The Evening Stars Capitol force,
the late Jack Messenger, Charlie
Kean and John P. Miller-prede-
cessors of Gould Lincoln, j. A.
OLeary, William P. Kennedy and
James Chinn. When little Willie
took over his arduous duties there
was no Sunday Star. First edition
OF that palladium of the public veal
appeared on the streets March 26,
l905-sometime after little Willie
had worn out his iron bike.
Actually, Little Willie wore the rims
OF the wheels of his bike. He burned
the tires off racing the old street
cars that rumbled down B street,
turned north at the foot of the Cap
itol Grounds, rounded the Peace
Monument-newly erected then
and swung into Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Any time Little Willie failed
to beat q street car down Pennsyl-
vania avenue he kicked q spoke
out of his bicycle wheels.
With reputation for speed, hon.
esty, integrity and enthusiasm for
his work, Little Willie got an offer.
That's how he happened to become
journalism's first broom editor.
Blythe Takes Interest.
Samuel G. Blythe, at the turn of
the century. was then chief Of the
New York Worlds Washington
Bureau. He had a soft spot in
his heart for Little Willie who
once helped the correspondent out
In a pinch. @'''
How'd you like to be my broom
editor?" asked Mr.. Blythe.
"Wh', VIII, what's q broom editor?"
Evening star., 1939-03-19

one could duly estimate his bound
less self-esteem, without having
seen the self-satisfied grin which
animated his face whenever he was
pleased with what he said. It was
that facial expression which most
impressed me about him, both at
police headquarters and when met
him at the JAIL
Noted House.
Besides having been the police
headquarters from about 1874 to
1883, the building that preceded the
present one on this site-which is
comparatively q modern one-was
quite interesting as having been. at
an early date, Mrs. Eliza Peyton's
boarding house, noted for its dis
tinguished guests, which included
John c. Calhoun, when Vice Presi-
dent of the United States: Henry
Clay, Robert Y. Hayne, Henry A.
Wise, Henry Wilson and representa-
tive William j. Graves, who killed
Representative Jonathan Cilley in a
duel.
Representative CilIey, at the time
Of this unfortunate encounter, was
residing at James Births boarding
house, still standing at 219 Third
street. in the Municipal Center, and
at the same address also resided
James M. Mason and Robert c.
Winthrop, the celebrated Massachu-
sets orator.
This event may be well recorded
as any epoch in American history,
for it was this encounter, in par
ticular, that finally wiped out duel
ing in this country between prom
inent men altogether.
Doubtful Source.
Cilley. 1t seems, had opposed a
resolution Of inquiry introduced in
the House by Henry A. Wise of Vir-
ginia, charging corruption brought
against some unnamed member Of
Congress by a writer in the New
York Courier and Enquirer. signing
himself the Spy in Washington"
and backed editorially by that paper.
Cilley took the ground that the
anonymous obscurity Of the source
from which the charge proceeded
placed it entirely beneath the level
of the dignity of the House." being,
as he further said, without specif1-
cation, individuality, oath or direct
responsibility-an anonymous writer
vouching for another anonymous
person, himself vouched for by an
editor Of newspaper"
The editor of the Courier and
Enquirer turned out to be James
Watson Webb, who, arriving in
Washington nine days after Cilley's
speech in the House, Immediately
addressed a note from Gadsbys
Hotel to the latter, the last para
graph of which said II deem it my
duty to apprise you. sir, that am
the editor of the paper in which the
letter from the Spy in Washington
charging a member of Congress with
corruption, was first published, and
I am the editor to whom you al
luded, and, if so, to ask the explana-
ton which the character of your re-
marks renders necessary"
And it was here that William j.
Graves entered the controversy, for
1t was he who delivered the note to
Cilley, who declined to receive it,

With double the attendance of last years event, the Waterbury Fish and Game association sponsor ed a smoker and entertainment which attracted more than 200 men from this city and Naugatuck last night at Concordia hall, 123 Bank street. Freddie Hall presided as master of ceremonies, who did fine job with a lively program of sing ing music, while four boxing bouts were handled by John Cluney as referee.
 President Ernest Rice of the asso- citation, for his committee, expressed thanks for the large turnout of sportsmen, several winning prizes of fishing tackle, including $25 bam- boo fish rod donated by Charles A. Templeton, Inc. During the boxing bouts, Waterbury's two outstanding ringsters showed their wares, Dick Turcotte and Tommy Ciarlo, the bout between Turcotte and Felix Longo providing some slam-bang action that had the patrons on the edge of seats. Then there was an- other heavy go between Dick Justin and Teddy Mays both of whom tip- ped the beam at 190 pounds and made crowd pleasing action the theme of their engagement.
 The semi-fnal event featured Eddie Miller and Jerry Foley, 126 pounders, who took their exhibition work seriously.
 A novelty of the event was a fencing exhibition staged between the napier swinging Flaherty broth- ers-Stephen and Martin. Their performance furnished sportsmen with a fair idea of how gentle mems misunderstanding might be settled on a French field of honor.
 Cliff Doolittle. guitarist, and Tillie and Johnny Crosse, 12 year old singing team, closed the entertain ment with a musical program.
 The smoker was a financial as well as social success and pro- caeds will be used by the associa- ton for the restocking of fish and game preserves.
