Under the surveillance of the Kings
proctor, both Mrs. Simpson and her
"nisi" husband legally will be subject
to a strict account Of their actions.
The proctor's duty calls for him to
watch the conduct of all parties in
matrimonial cases during the six
month period between the decree nisi
and the decree absolute.
If he is able to prove there are sus-
cious circumstances, the law reads, he
may, under direction of the attorney
general or by leave Of the court, in

evidence of collusion.
His power Of Intervention is limited

the Queen used to stand between him
and his fathers displeasure. She has
been a loving and loyal mother, and
perhaps now she will thrust aside heI
own feelings and lifelong principles to
back up her son.
1t will also be interesting to see
what the venerable Archbishop of Cam
terbury. head of the Church of Eng
land, will do if he is called on to marry
Edward to divorcee. The church
does not forbid such marriages, but it
does not like them. The Archbishop
would be rather ION the spot"
AS far as English law is concerned
there is nothing to prevent the Kings
marriage to Mrs. Simpson. 1t is en-
tirely up to him to decide whether
such move might harm his throne.
He might go to the extreme of alb
dicating in order to marry her, in
which case the Duke Of York would
become King. If one wants to carry
speculation to a somewhat absurd
extreme. it is probable that Parliament
could force his abdication, If it dis
approved his marriage sufficiently

MARITIME STRIKE
AGAIN THREATENED
Federal Officials Seek to
Avert WaIkout Tonight

SAN FRANCISCO, October 28.-
Threats of another Pacific Coast mari
time strike-set for tonight-hung
over water fronts today as Federal on
cials pressed last-minute efforts to
avert. the walkout of $1,000 dock and
seagoing workers.
The Coast Committee for Employ
ers reported six vessels already in
volved in tie-up disputes and an
nounced revision Of sailing schedules
as the strike hour neared.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Of Labor Frances Perkins were kept
in close touch with the situation by
Assistant Secretary Edward F. Nc
Grady. who figured in settlement Of
the long and bitter 1884 strike, and
Rear Admiral Harry G. Hamlet, rep
resenting the Federal Maritime Com
mission.
Hopes for peace appeared to rest
on efforts of the maritime commits
sion for continued truce" and ne
gotiations arranged by McGrady be-
tween employer and union commit
tees here.
Employers reiterated they are will
ing to comply with the maritime COM
missions request for indefinite extern
sion Of present working conditions.
They reafirmed their refusal to grant
union demands, on which the strike
vote was based. for control of hiring
and certain adjustments in wages and
hours.
F. M. Kelly, secretary of the joint
committee representing seven unions.
said the committee will exercise the
strike authority voted by the mem
bership at midnight unless demands
are granted.
He asserted the committee will de-
eide whether to exempt the coastwise
steam schooner operators, who still
are negotiating with unions, and 26
Eastern and foreign companies, which
have made a peace offer to longshore-
men.
There was no outward indications.
however, the seven unions would
break their united front" by accept
ing separate terms.
Kelly said six had voted over
whelmingly to authorize the strike.
The American Radio Telegraphists'
Association still was being polled by
wireless to ships at sea.
September 80, the employers ter
minated agreements based on 1894
strike awards. The consented, at the
request of the Maritime Commission,
first TO 15-day and then to an in
definite extension of the agreements.
The unions accepted the 15-day ex-
tension, but limited further continu-
ance to October 26 and called for
the strike vote, effective October %.

have to be extremely careful that a
chaperon is present, even when she
is with King Edward himself.

quent might prove embarrassing.
The law explicitly lays down that
any resumption of close relations be-
tween husband and wife would be
sufficient grounds to justify the Judge
in refusing to make the decree alb
solute.
Otherwise, if the Kings proctor
gives the nod, Mrs. Simpson will be
unqualifiedly free on April 81, 1897
just Is days before the scheduled
coronation of Bachelor King Edward.
England's public learned only the
bare, unadorned facts about the Ips-
wich climax to the "affaire Simpson"
today. But they had to be observant
readers. Morning newspapers. in
cluding the Stif1y conservative Times,
carried only few inconspicuous para
graphs-breaking at last the silence
Of self-imposed censorship.
Boldest of all was the liberal News
Chronicle. which devoted a two-col-
umn headline to the story and gave
some Identification of Mrs. Simpson

single paper, however, even indirectly
mentioned King Edward.

Ever since Edward VIII was a mere
youth, fascinated women and girls
have followed him about in droveS.
Many times he has been the center of
demonstrations of thousands Of near
hysterical females who literally fought
to get near him.
A typical example was seen in No
vember, 1927, when 5000 women
waited outside motion picture

Police Cleared Path.
Many women fanted before police
reinforcements finally cleared a path
for his royal highness to his car.
The writer has seen a similar
though milder demonstration on a
ball room floor when the Prince ap-
peared. The other dancers would mill
about him and his partner so that the
slim young man and his lady would
all but be swept of their feet-to say
nothing of being unable to dance a
step.
He was, of course, appearing in his
capacity as Prince of Wales. When
he was "off duty" as royalty and
wanted to dance, he was treated as
any other private citizen. and people
refrained from paying any attention
to him.

One eager and ambitious Texas girl

NEW YORK, October % P).-
Americas Mrs. Wallis : upson, whose
friendship with King Edward VIII has
the world feverishly excited, does not
represent his first romance, by a long
stretch Of Imagination.
There have been others of consider
able duration, and there have been
many passing flirtations.
Never before, however, has there
been such talk of marriage. British
society and officialdom, which have
watched the progress of this friend
ship for long time, admit privately
to being worried. They fear that the
prestige of the throne might be
harmed irreparably were Edward to
make divorce his queen.
The general public there knows lit
tle or nothing about the affair. The
English newspapers have been dis
creetly silent.
The fascinating Baltimore woman
seems to have cast an extraordinary
spell over the bachelor monarch. The
grand passion appears to have hit
him at last at the age of AZ, and it is
. woman of 40 who has inspired it.
The former Maryland society belle
IS said to possess those qualities which
IN past history have made and un-
made kings. She is exceptionally
clever in addition to being wholly at
tractive and charming-undoubted
striking personality.
Hard Man to Handle"
Edward is an individualist and a
hard man to handle, as his advisers
and aides could testify. But Mrs.
Simpson has had no difficulty where
50 many others have failed.
It takes super woman to make him
wait patiently for an hour or more
outside a hairdresser's for her. He
probably never did such thing for
anybody else.
He used to put gray hairs into the
heads of his staff by abruptly upset.
ting engagements they had made for
him. have known him to send word
in advance to large dinner party
that he would stay just as long as he
was amused and no longer. Nobody
ever made him step about as does Mrs.
Simpson.
She has the reputation of being ex-
ceedingly popular in English society
There is only one point in debate at
all-whether it would be polite for the
King Emperor to marry a woman
twice divorced.
The fact that she is American-b
does not enter into the proposition.
The British public has let it be known
that 1t would welcome an alliance
with this country-but the people
want their King to pick an unmarried
girl.
May Still Be Queen.

fore she had been twice married, she

11-State police and county police
secured the wooded mountain Sec

night and today in search for the
assailant of Floyd Cubbage, 6, son
of Amos Cubbage, resident of that
section.
The child was standing in the
door of his parents mountain
home when he was felled by q

The father of the boy says he
was about a half mile in the woods
when he heard the shot and saw
an unidentified man run through
the mountain woods with gun in
hand. The child was rushed to
Charles Town General Hospital
with serious injuries.
