KING EDWARD
NOT LIKELY
TO WE'D
New Ruler Once Said
He Dreaded Being
Tiled Down"

LONDON, Jan. 81 GN.s).
Who will be the next Queen Of
England?
The question was on the worlds
tongue today as Edward Prince
of Wales assembled to the British
throne of King Edward VIII-the
first bachelor king since George
III, whose reign began in 1850.
The names of many prominent
and illustrious young women were
linked with that Of the Prince Of
Wales in the years preceding his
fathers death, but one by one
they were disposed Of, either
through other marriages or by the
passage of time.
The Prince remained steadfast
in his determination not to be
boSsed by a woman-his own
words-and even his succession to
the throne, according to his in
Inmates, has not altered that re-
solve.
Cannot Be Forced
Only tradition, not law, com.
pels an English King to marry.
The royal marriages act, an
ancient statute, lays down the
rule that the sovereign should
marry a person of royal blood,
but the act has been rendered
flexible by time, and today it
could neither force His Majesty
to marry nor even limit his
choice if he sought marriage.
Ever since he attained his
majority, the Prince has been
linked by rumor to literally scores
of young women. Among them
have been Princess Juliana of
Holland, Princess Yolanda of
Italy. the Infanta Beatrice of
Spain, the Grand Duchess Olga
Of Russia, Princess AStrid of
Sweden, Princess Margaret Of
Denmark and Lady May Cam
bridge, a beautiful English girl.

NEW KING SETS
9 MONTHS OF
MOURNING
Usual Year Period Cut
as Aid to Economic
Recovery in Britain

LONDON, Jan. 81 d.N.SO.
King Edward today commanded
the British court to observe a
nine-months' period of mourning
for his father, the late King
George. Announcement was made
at Buckingham Palace.
The first six months Of this
period, until July 81, full mourn
ing will be observed, in accord
ance with tradition. The last
three months, until october 81,
will be q period Of half-mourning,
and herein King Edward made a
departure. The period of half
mourning also usually is for six
months.
Reason Economic
The change was appreciated by
business men throughout the en-
pire, since it Topped three months
off the time during which they
stand to lose many millions Of
dollars. 1t was believed the King
did not wish to hinder Britain'S
business recovery any more than
necessary.
The mourning was proclaimed
"for His Late Most Gracious
Majesty, King George v, Of
blessed memory"
All meetings Of the four.power
naval limitations conference were
cancelled until after the funeral.
King Christian of Denmark was
the first monarch to signify his in

loyal subjects donned black, and
from every flagpole in England
the Union Jack fluttered at half
staff in the crisp air of a sunny
winters ray as an empire entered
its mourning period.
AS though drawn by magnets,
thousands of men, women and
children congregated before Buck,
ingham and st. James Palaces,
to watch the changing Of the
guards, and to try and catch a
glimpse of their new King upon
his arrival formally to accept the
robes Of office.
Strike Averted
One of the most striking testi.
monials to the grief Of the public
came in a statement of the Mine
Workers Federation, revealing
that the empires bereavement
had averted a strike Of 100000
coal miners.
The union announced that, In

MEXICAN REBELS
RAID FIVE STATES.
Two Slain by Woman
Teacher After Burning
School at Tepeixco.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne hSSOClateu freSS.
MEXICO CITY, June 6.-Rebes in
five Central Mexican states fought
against the governments program of
Socialist education today.
Their total number amounts to ap-
proximately 1000, declared Gen. Luis
Bobadilla, chief of staff, but the rebel
bands are unorganized and lack CEN
tral leadership.
The general discounted reports
crediting Lauro Rocha, the Mexican
Robin Hood" with leadership of the
guerilla warfare. Rocha, he said, rates
no better than fourth in his own state.
The most recent Of many attacks on
rural school settlements occurred at
the small town of Tepeixco in North
ern Puebla.
Routed by Teacher.
A band Of 10 rebels swooped down
on the village and burned the school
house, but were repulsed by the cour-
ageous defense offered by Maria Her
nandez. the young school teacher.
Press reports told how she stood of
the raiders for 80 minutes, shooting
at them from the top of her house
until she killed two and wounded four.
Federal troops later captured two
others.
Gen. Bobadilla said many of the
rebel bands have been in the field
since the bloody "Cristero" revolt of
1926 against the Catholic meas
ures of former President Plutarco
Elias Gales
Many Are Criminal.
Many of the rebels, the general said,
are outlaws, men with prices ou their
heads whose criminal records will
not allow them to take advantage of
the governments offers of amnesty.
"All Of them are scattered and dis
persed into small groups whose activi-
ties are without military importance, "
he added
War Department estimates show
100 outlaws in Durango, 81 in Zaca-
tecas, 277 IN Jalisco. l39 in GUIANA
juato and 286 in Colima.
The rebels, said reports reaching
here, were carrying banner bearing
the likeness of the Virgin of Guada-
lupe, patron saint of Mexican Cath
olics, as they burst into Tepeixco, fir
ing volleys into the air and shouting
imprecations upon the governments
Socialist education program.
Officials of the State Education De-
partment, the state government and
other organizations prepared to honor
the youthful teacher, who was to be
brought to Puebla for treatment for
her injuries.
