The scene in the House of Com
mons was one of the most solemn
in England's long histoy. Never
before has king voluntarily given
up that mighty throne.
But his majeSty's government was
determined not to permit divor-
Gee and commoner to share it with
Edward of the House of Windsor.
. The king was equally determined
to make her queen or marry her
in any case. He therefore decided
against fighting his ministers and
the constitution, a losing struggle.
The historic occasion came at
S:42 p. m. on Thursday, Dec. 10,
1856. after Edward had been on
the throne 324 days.
The prime minister arose from
his seat and walked to the bar of
the house.

effort of will power he kept steady.

epitome of conservative England

The silence was uncanny, pain
ful. The throng which filled the
small, gloomy chamber where for
centuries history has been made.
seemed TO have suspended anima-
ton. There was not even the
sound of loud breathing.
The speaker read the kings mes
sage.
The emotions of the assembly
can only be imagined when he
came to the solemn words:
Il, Edward VIII of Great Britain,
Ireland, the British Dominion be-
yond the seas, King, Emperor of
India. do hereby declare my ir-
revocable determination to re-
nounce the throne for myself and
my descendants.
And then:
Il am most anxious that there
should be no delay, that all neces-
sary steps should be taken i'm
mediately to secure that my law
ful successor, my brother his royal
highness the Duke of York, should
ascend the throne.
(Signed) Edward r. l."
Only once more, in all probabili-
ty, will he write that signature,
Edward, King and Emperor. That
will be when he signs the act of
abdication which will be enacted
by the House of Commons and
the House of Lords.
The momenI that his pen leaves

the Duke of York is king.

dence, in the presence of his broth
ers. AT that moment. the flag OF
the Duchy of Cornwall was Dip
ped over the castle.
Then it was raised again to the
masthead. Edward, for a few pitt
full hours, is still king and Duke of
Cornwall.
There is little likelihood that the
king, once he leaves England, will
ever again set foot on British en-
pire soil After his final farewell
to his sorrowing mother, Queen
Mary, he may never see her again
Never Again See Sister
Neither is he likely to see his
sister Mary, the Princess Royal,
nor his successor. 1t is possible
that his favorite kid brother"
the Duke of Kent, or the other
brother, the Duke of Gloucester,
could visit him in exile and main
tain a Semblance of family ties.
The next step will be the intro
duetion and passage in Commons
and the House of Lords of bill
for the kings abdication and an
other providing for the accession

Charge Denied in
Answer to Suit

In an answer filed in superior
court Wednesday by Attorney Gen
eral U. S. Webb, was set forth
denial that Mrs. C. G. Brooks of
Ell Centre was charged with GRIM
inal violation in the suit brought
against her by Charles E. Farrell
of the state board of equalization.
It was contended, however, that
Mrs. Brooks, who is dressmaker,
is responsible for payment of a
sales tax for the privilege of fur
nishing her customers with per-
sonal property different from the
material received from her employ
er. Webb contends she is subject
to the provisions of the retail
sales tax law of 1888.

NIEMAN WILL IS
 DECLARED VALID
Milwaukee Journal FOund= CTS Widow Left Most of
 Estate to Harvard

Madison, Wis, Dec. 8-(UP)-The will of the late Mrs. Agnes Wahl Nieman, widow of the founder of the Milwaukee Journal, leaving most of her 5000, 900 estate to Harvard uni- versity for a school of journalism, was upheld today by the Wisconsin supreme court.
 The issue before the supreme court was whether the findings and conclusion of the trial court, that Mrs. Nieman was mentally compe- tent to make a will at the time of its execution, were contrary to the weight of the evidence.
 Judge Michael s. Sheridan in Mill waukee county court July 6, 1886, held that she was competent and that the will represented her desires as to disposition of her estate and was not the result of improper in- tlence.
 Fought by Relatives
 The will was contested by two half ,lncles and a half aunt of Mrs. Nie- man, Fred Wahl, Washington, D. C.; Robert ,Wahl, Chicago; and Paula Pierce, Chicago. They alleged un- due infiuance was exerted upon Mrs. Nieman but exonerated officials of Harvard.
 Prior to making of this will, Cyril Weld, favorite nephew of Mrs. Nie- man, an actor whom she had pro- vided with 8 monthly allowance, was the residuary legatee. His death last January in New York preceded hers by only month, dur ing which time she made 8 new will giving to Harvard the estate previ- ously designated for Weld. The inference that Edwin s, Mack, attorney who helped Mrs. Nieman draft the will, might have inuenced her to remember Harvard, which already had received exten- sive aid from the Weld family, was recognized by Judge Sheridan who absolved Mack, a Harvard graduate.
