BY DEWITT MACKENZIE.

NEW YORK, october 26 F).-Wlil
King Edward of England. worlds prize
bachelor, trample on British tradition
and override the sentiment OF his
subjects by marrying his 40-year-old
| American friend, Mrs. Wallis Simp-
son, who will have divorced two hus-
bands when her present marriage Is
| dissolved?
His ministers OF state would like a
quick answer to that vital imperial
problem, fearing possible adverse ef-
fects on throne which Is all that
holds the scattered divisions Of the
great empire together.
His conservative people are anxious,
being in general utterly opposed to the
idea OF having a divorce for
queen, even Though she be gen.
| tlewomen of undoubted charm and
culture.
Lloyds brokers would like to know,
with the insurance rates fluctuating,
as spectators gamble on the an
swer.
British merchants and hotel pro-
| prietors need the information, so
that they can tell whether to con-
tinue their preparations for next
| years coronation-one of the great
est pageants Britain can boast
Six Months Delay Usual.
They are afraid the coronation
might be postponed if there was a
wedding just ahead OF 1t, on the
basis that it would be unwise to have
two big events so close together. Un-
der normal circumstances, six months
elapse after a decree nisi Is granted
before a divorce is made final.
King Edwards inclinations always
have been toward the life ofa private
individual and selection Of his own
! friends.
! Rather than become King he would
have preferred to remain just plain
David Windsor, Canadian rancher and
English country gentleman.
However, he has been intensely
loyal to the duties imposed on him
by birth. He has sacrificed his per-
sonal desires, and his people love him
for it.
A few months ago 1t would have
seemed absurd to suggest that he
might contemplate this marriage, since
he is a man of sound common sense
and knows that such union might
harm the prestige of the throne.
He hasn't announced now that he
intends marriage, but the barometer
has slipped down toward the storm
signal.
Those who are we'll acquainted with
the King say this much is certain:
Won't Be Bullied.
II folk let him alone he may decide
against the marriage as impolitic.
But If anybody, no matter how
highly placed, tries to bully him, it
will be asking for trouble.
From boyhood, one Of Edwards out
standing characteristics has been a
rock-ribbed stubbornness in defend
ing what he considered his personal
prerogatives.
He always has resented, and bat
tied against, any effort to drive him,
as his prime minister and other great
people have discovered to their dis
4
comfort.
Let us take a glimpse into the past
for illustration.
All his life Edward has been i'm
patient of the titles and other for
malities which 60 with royalty.
When he was just q gangling, tow
headed lad of 13 he was sent to the
Royal Naval College at Osborne. He
wanted to be like other boys Cust
as he now wants to be like other

certainly, and much may depend upon
1t. Delaware has between 5000 and
1000 Negro voters, and the Demo-
Gratis are claiming their support this
year. However, that Is matter
which Republican leaders may know
how to meet on election day.
Delaware is q boom State, with in
dustry fiourishing. The number OF
persons on relief Is comparatively
small, so the Democrats cannot look
to the reliefers for great measure Of
support.

KNIFE M0NEL
IS SHOWN

The Chinese of 400 B. c. car.
ried a lot of knives with him
when he went shopping, not with
murderous intent, but to pay for
his purchases.
These knives were known as
knife money" They weren't very
heavy and only about five inches
in length.
In the voluminous coin collec.
ton Of Frederic E. Hodge, secre'
tary Of the Washington NumiS.
matte Society, a piece Of this
knife money" takes its place
with scores of other examples OF
early Chinese money.
Mr.. Hodge, who lives at 136
Bryant st. N. w., has a variety
of coin collections, but one Of
the most interesting, he AYERS, is
his Chinese collection, continuing
II have examples of Chinese
coins from the Wang Mang
dynasty, Of the years 9 to %,
right up to date. And have
tagged and identified every
one"
Another Of Mr.. Hodges collec
tons, of which he is very proud
is his group of American one-cent
pieces from the earliest in 1893
when the pennies" were about
the size Of a 1886 quarter anc
much heavier.
He has a "fugio cent" designed
by Benjamin Franklin, which pic
lures the passage of time anc
bears the legend Mind your bust
ness"
Mr.. Hodge says:
Il have had considerable diff
ficulty in acquiring a large
group of So-called tokens from
early American coin history. I
have a collection of the hard
time tokens of 1884, issued by
Andrew JackSOn'S enemies in an
attempt to ridicule his bank pol
icieS. They are all caricatureS
and cartoons"
Mr.. Hodge also has complete

Growing interest among Wash
ingtonianS in proposals that local
citizens be enabled to vote directly
for the District delegates to the
national conventions Of the Re
publican and Democratic parties
was evidenced today as an ava
lanche Of letters on the subject
reached The Washington Times.
Hundreds of residents here
filled out and mailed to The
Times, a ballot being printed
daily, on which readers can ex-
press their opinion Of the move
ment.
Many of the voters" comment
ing on the plan, revealed they un-
derstand it is merely an attempt
to gain sentiment on the general
principle, and not on a bill on the
subject introduced into Congress
by Representative Mary T. Norton
CD, of New Jersey, and chairman
of the House District Committee.
The proposed measure, prepared
by John P. Mullen, will probably
be given public hearings and opin-
ions on its merits can then be ex-
pressed by local citizens, one
reader explained.

ernor Kump, D. Homer Stephen
son, chairman of the State liquor
commission, was back on the job
today, just 80 hours after he had
resigned.

fusal of the board of public

salary increase to the liquor COM
mission employees.

he declined to comment on the
question of pay, merely saying:
"After comforting with the
governor, realized It was all
a misunderstanding. 1 am back
on the job"
The Governor announced he
was glad Chairman Stephenson
was back because he is valu-
able man and the loss of his
