 Church Work As Calling
 Jardine is a man who took up church work not as 9 career but as a calling. He was raised an agnoS- tic. At 19, book keeper, he heard a sermon that brought his conversion. He began preaching in the streets of the slums in Liver pool and joined, a Y. M. Q. A. lodg- ing house mission. His father dis owned him. The sons retort was to go toya coal mining village in York shire where the drabbest, deepest poverty had caused the closing of every church around. He preached there, and at the end of 8 year was able to reopen the Wesleyan chapel He went on to Liverpool and founded free church, then became a missionary in the mine fields.
 Friends persuaded him to enter the Church of England and he did So But he never hesitated to preach in churches of other sects and five years ago his bishop publicly rebuked him for preaching in a Wesleyan chapel. j, causing great indignation and distress among loyal church people"

Dumped Upon Governor

Developments since yesterday in the court and commissionerships indicate more strongly than ever that they will be dumped into Gov- ernor Wilbur L. Gross lap for re- cess appointments However, it IS not believed that the governor will be forced to name commissioners ln each of the eight counties, as New Haven county alone seems to have a contest.
 National Committeeman David r. FitzGerald of New Haven today nl- formed The Democrat that while ne felt he was sure of certain action by the New Haven county legisla- tors yesterday, he was upset over the change of opinions voiced by various members of the legislature today.
 He said, You can expect one statement of opinion today and 8 change of mind the next day. This is just what has occurred"

mooners-the Duke of Windsor and his bride, Mrs. Wallis Warfield.
 The huge building, whose gothic belfry dates back tO the 18th cen- ,tury, was cleaned from top to bot tom last week. and the royal suite was redecorated according to the personal instructions of the Duke of Windsor.
 The Duchess boudoir, which overlooks the lovely Gail valley. and its quiet villages, was hanged, with light mauve wall paper. The birch wood furniture included large couch covered with mauve silk. The paintings. which had covered the walls were removed to make room for profusion of all kinds of roses Gthe brides favorite flower.
 All table and bed linens which were ordered six months ago in Paris had been delivered and inc cluded the pale peach pillow-slips and sheets, embroidered with the ducal crown.
 Last Minute Changes
 Among the last minute changes ordered by the duke early this, week was encouragement os the rock garden around the swimming pool and the planting of numerous rare flowers. te
 The pool itself, which was cx- pected to furnish the royal coiple'S chief recreation, was renovated with the greatest care. A luxurious car- pet of flowers surrounds the main building, greeting guests as they ap- proach the castle.
 The major part of the castle was rebuilt in the 18th century during which its court, surrounded by re- naissance arcades and an imposing rustic portal, were built. The vest ern facade and the chapel with it's famous Italian stucco ceiling, date from the 18th century.
 Wasserleonburg is only five miles from the Italian border and faces the rough bare peaks of the Julian Alps. The rear view extends over the Gail valley, its green forests spotted with white villages.
 The castle itself contains 14 inc dividual suites each consisting of a sitting room, bedroom and bath.

 An announcement issued by Her man l.. Rogers on behalf of the duke said:

R. Anderson Jardine, vicar of St. Paul's, Darlington. Herman Rogers gave the bride away. Ed ward Dudley Metcalf was the best man."
 The dukes statement was given out by Rogers at the chateau gates. He read the texts of 1t and the a1- nouncement of the wedding in French and English and refused to amplify them. The full text of the dukes statement follows:
 "The duchess and wish to thank all those who so kindly sent us pres ents and good wishes on the occa- sion of our marriage.
 "We shall never forget their friendly messages, which mean so much to Us on this day.
 After the trying times we have been through, we now look forward to a happy and useful private life and to that measure of peace which we hope will be granted to is.r

 Spain in Flames" is reported to be communistic in its sympathies. It is said to have been produced oy Amkino, the American branch of Sovkino, official propaganda agents for the Soviet Russia.
 T believe that Spain in Flames is too controversial to be shown in Waterbury" Superintendent Roach said today, "and I have refused u issue a permit for it. The picture has been banned all over the coun- try"
 Investigated Picture
 Superintendent Roach said he had investigated the picture thoroughly and found that 1t had been refused showings in the states of Pennsyl- vania and Rhode Island. It was also barred in Trenton, Columbus, Worcester, and many other cities, he said. The permit applicants claimed the picture was shown in New Britain, but Superintendent Roach said he. was unable to find that such was the case.
 K. of c. Protest Waterbury, Conn,
 June 3, 1897. MT. William J. Roach,
 Superintendent of Police, ' Waterbury, Connecticut. My dear sunerintendent:
 It has been called to my atten- tion that motion picture entitled, Flames Over Spain, is to be shown in Waterbury. At a recent meeting of the Knights of Co., lumbus the members voiced q vigorous protest to its exhibition here on grounds that it pictured the Roman Catholic Church in Spain in an uncomplimentary and quite biased manner. This picture so unfairly deals with the religious angle in Spain that even those who are not Cath- olics have joined members of this religion in objecting to it. # In view of its objectionable nature and the consequent embar- rassment to Catholics of Water bury, you are urged to forbid any showing of the picture in this city. Every member of Sheridan Council, No. "A, Knights of Colum- bus, is behind me ip this protest, not to mention other Catholic groups.
 Very sincerely,
 Rev. F. F. Schaffer,
 Acting Chaplain.

 As angrily, newspapers and mem- bers of the ordinary public lashed back and denounced the church for its opposition.
 A day of excitement over the news that the Rev. Robert Anderson Jardine, vicar of St. Pau's church, Darlington, would conduct the ceremony was climaxed when the Bishop of Fulhan, who had juris- diction in France, telegraphed a protest to Jardine.
 The telegram sent with the con- currence, of the Bishop. of Lon don who is the bishops superior, charged that Jardine was acting without Episcopal license or con- sent. .}..se$s
 This means. according to ecclesi- astical experts, that the Church of England has given definite warm ing that the wedding never will be recognized as having had the blessing of the church.
 Duke, Bride Have Won, (
 But the Duke and his bride have won. The church had no power to prevent Vicar Jardine from per- forming the rites in private house.
 That the church was outwitted was disclosed when church authori- ties made it known they had warned all pastors on the continent not to officiate, and had received pledges of assent.
 It appeared, too. as if the bold ness of the Rev. MT. Jardjne might be rewarded, Such a formidable body of opinion was forming today in his defense, and in defense, of the Duke and Duchess, that there seemed strong probability church authorities might not even repri- mand the vicar. .sI

 Highways Blocked
 Thousands of persons blocked highways in the Warren Niles area last night, as they watched the maneuvers of airplanes which dipped low over the factory yards. Ap- proximately 20 packages of food were dropped in Niles.
 Charles H. Elliott, assistant vice president in charge of, operations for the Republic corporation, which is the only one of the three inde- pendents which has attempted tc operate during the strike, charged that several planes had been fired upon by strikers. One plane, he said, landed with four bullet holes in its fuselage.
 Republic officials increased the length of the .airplane runway i11 Warren today to lessen possibility of another crash. Frank Flynn plant superintendent, said he be- lieved there was no connection be- tween alleged sniping and the crash landing" yesterday.
