Royal Rank to Be Denied,

BACKGROUND

cause OF Lore for Americdn-born
Mrs. Wallis Warfeld, retained royal
rank OF Duke OF Windsor.
His fdncee. noD diporced from
Ed,Dard Aldrich Simpson, the for

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 15-A titled friend
of the Duke of Windsor asserted today
lit is definitely fixed" that the dukes
bride-to-be will not become her royal
highness"-at least not Immediately
This intimate admitted that the
former British monarch was most
anxious to obtain for his bride his own
royal style when they marry. probably
next month.
That Is quite natural" said the
friend. "for he wanted to make her
queen"
The dukes younger brother, King
George VI, and the government hold
all the trumps in the game, he added,
but it was not ruled out that the King
might raise the duchess to the rank
of H. R. H." after a lapse of time
had dimmed the bitter feeling engen-
dered nv tho ohdica tiop
Baldwin Due to Retire.
Thus the quarrel touched of by Ed
ward WIS choice of an American
born commoner and divorce for wife
appeared far from happy solution, de-
spite the fact Prime Minister Stanley
Baldwin Is expected to retire this
month.
The stern, firm jawed premier, who
led the fight to keep Edward from
marrying Wallis Warf1eld, Is expected
to further his opposition to the ro-
nance through Neville Chamberlain,
chancellor OF the exchequer, who, po-
litical observers agree, is likely to be
his successor.
Chamberlain's attitude was said to
include support for the government
decision not to pension the former
King.
The policy of the Baldwin govern
ment has been to boost Edwards
brother, who succeeded to the throne
as George vi after last December q
abdication, and to keep Edward in
the background as much as possible
In this it has had support from most
of the government opposition. Edward
was known to have several friends
in the present cabinet, but they were
in minority.
Meanwhile, in one view, the matter
OF title recognition for Mrs. Warf1eld
when she becomes Edwards bride
rested finally with King George-with
the advice Of his ministers.
Some observers said the bride could
become . royal highness" only
through royal enactment.

VALENCIA, May l5.-Premier Fran
cisco Largo Caballero, who resigned
Ais Spanish Republican government
today, 4 few hours later was called
upon TO form a new "win-the-war"
cabinet.
The sixth wartime government of
SPANS Republic. Largo Caballero an
nounced. will include all the elements
in the cabinet which resigned today,
but with q new distribution of posts
The extreme Socialist premier, who
had guided the destinies of the regime
through eight months of resistance
against Fascist insurgents, pledged
himself to a speedy formation OF q
'win-the-war" ministry.
The resignation of the old govern
ment, the second that Largo Caballero
had organized after he was called to
from q cabinet amid civil war con-
fusion last September, was decided
upon at long, secret meeting Thurs
day, but was not made public until
today.
All Elements Included.
Largo Caballero's announcement
that all the elements of the old cabinet
would be represented in the new
meant, apparently, that Anarcho-
Syndicalists would share posts with
Socialists, Communists and Left Re-
publicans.
The extent Of AnArcho-S yndicalist
representation was doubtful, however.
Barcelona colleagues Of this group
recently revolted against the Cata-
lonian and Valencia regimes, which
with the Basques are allied In fight
ing Francisco Frances insurgent
armies. Valencia Anarcho-Syndical-
lists publicly opposed the revolt of the
Catalan Anarchists.
Largo Caballero, veteran extreme
Socialist who had head the Spanish
government through eight months
Of civil war. handed his resignation
In at 10 am, and four hours later
was commissioned by President Manuel
Asana to form new and stronger
regime-one that will hasten the
counter offensive against Franco.
Leaders Of the "Ugt," Socialist Com
munist labor union, were insistent that
he continue in power. They said his
forceful personality was "indisp-
ensible"
Will Consult All Elements.
An official announcement said all
elements represented in the old cab
met Socialists. Communists. Anarcho-
6yndicalists and Left Republican,
would be consulted before the new gov
eminent was decided upon.
CThis heavily censored dispatch
|. did not give the reason for the
Resignation, but outsiders regard
ed it as possible the recent Anar-
ehist revolt in autonomous BARGE
Iona might have had bearing,
since there are powerful Anarcho-
6yndicalist elements in the main
Spanish government Of Valencia.
(The governments main inter-
nal political trouble during the
civil war has been to try to recon-
cile Anarchists and Syndicalists
with Socialists, Communists and
Left Republicans, all supporting
the regime against Francisco
FRANCOIS military insurgents)
Valencia itself was calm. Reports
Of 4 coming cabinet reshuffle had been
circulated Tor some time and caused
no surprise.
Largo Caballero has headed two Of
the i've governments which have ruled

Of the war with Frances insurgents

Senate. He was killed in a duel with
David S. Terry, September, 1859.
In the early days, before the Dis
trict OF Columbia was formed, George
Peter, a Representative from Mary
land, was born in Georgetown, Sep
tember %, l779, and while Alexandria
was still part of the District of Co.
lumbia Senator James A. Pearce was
born there December g. 1904, and,
likewise, Frederick P. Stanton, a Rep
resentative from Tennessee, who first
saw the light OF day in the Ten Mile
Square, December %, 1914.
IN 1901 the late Mr.. c. c. Glover
bought 1908 K street from the
Bruen estate, and from an authentic
source 1t Is said that at this time
he spent nearly 5000, 900 in remodeling
and modernizing the house, where he
subsequently did much entertaining
and numbered among his guests sew
eral Presidents of the United States
and leaders in the political, economic
and social life of this and other
countries. The present owner Of this
property is Lotion S. Wesley and the
place is known as Wesley Hall. Much
of its original attractiveness has been
retained.
The corner house of the row, at
Connecticut avenue, known as No.
l705 K street, was first occupied by
Alexander R. Shepherd. Its other oc-
cupants included William F. Draper,
United States Ambassador to Italy,
whose daughter, Miss Margaret Draper,
married Prince Boncompagni Of Italy
In the ball room Of this house shortly
before the World War. An unusual
feature of the ceremony WAS the fact
that Cardinal Gibbons came from
Baltimore especially to pronounce the
VOWS to the couple, being permitted
to do this because the bridegroom
was Of royal blood.
At the time of the Spanish-American
War the house was occupied by Mrs.
Mary L. Mclean, widow OF Washing
ton Mclean, and 1t was here that
Admiral George Dewey was rendered
memorial reception upon his tri-
umphant return from Manila.
In 1885, and subsequently, Minister
Charles De Struve occupied it as the
Russian Legation, and at another time
it was the Chinese Legation. Senator
Don Cameron once occupied 1t as his
Washington residence.
Several years ago 1t was reported
sold to what was then the Masonic
Mutual Life Insurance Co. of the
District Of Columbia, to be torn down
and replaced by an History Office
building. This idea seems to have
been abandoned, for the old building
is still intact.
THE placing Of the statue to David
Glasgow Farragut, hero of Mobile
Bay, in the reservation just to the
south of Shepherd Row, followed soon
after the great boom, which developed
property as far north as Dupont Circle,
and sent real estate prices soaring
The unveiiing of this statue took place
on April rs, 1881, and, seated or
the main stand, was the President of
the United States, James A. Garfield,
with his wife and children, and the
artist, Mrs. Winnie Ream Ho1e.
According to the press at the time,

Being confined in jail by the SER
geant at arms, and awaiting trial on
the indictment of the same offerse
that of refusing to answer questions
or produce papers, Kilbourn filed a
petition, No. 1874 on the criminal
docket, for writ of habeas corpus,
and the same was issued by order Of
Chief Justice Cartier and made re-
turnable before him in chambers.
In this case Chief Justice Cartier
had to decide against the judgment
of the House of Representatives, in
ordering the petitioner to be confined
in Jail; or he had to pronounce un-
constitutional or imperative the
statute which had been passed by
both houses of Congress, and ap-
proved by the President, providing
for the punishment for this character
of contempt.
TIE REACHED the conclusion, in
the able opinion pronounced by
him, that the House was wrong in
undertaking to punish for contempt,
contrary and in addition to, the
method prescribed by the act Of Con-
gress; and he therefore ordered the
discharge of the prisoner from the
custody of the sergeant at arms, and
the United States Jail, and remanded
him to the Criminal Court for trial.
Il think the case was never tried,
but Kilbourn brought suit against
the sergeant at arms for damages for
false arrest, being suit No. 1928 at
law"
At the first trial of the case Kill
bourn was given a Judgment against
Thompson, the sergeant at arms, for
100000, which was set aside by the
court. Eventually the suit was settled
for $4,000.
Kilbourn died in Washington April
IA, 1908, and was buried in Oak HILL
Cemetery. At this time the press
mentioned among the surviving men,
bers of his family his widow, two
daughters, Mrs. Frank Gordon and
Mrs. B. K. Bourgeat, and a grandson,
Master Wilbourn Gordon, all OF whom
were then residing at the Plaze, Wash
ington Circle.
The Star paid him this glowing
tribute at the time of his death: He
was an ardent believer Of the future
of the National Capital and bent all
his purposes to accomplish the reform
and changes which made this achieve
ment possible. He was an ardent
friend of everything that would re-
dound to the credit of Washington
After the house on K street was
vacated by Mr. Kilbourn it was oc-
cupied by Senator Edward Murphy OF
Troy, N. Y, followed by Senator Le-
laid Stanford, who founded the Le-
land Stanford Junior University in
California. Representative Edward
