Three persons were killed and a fourth was near death today as a result of traffic accidents in nearby Maryland and Virginia yesterday and last night.

A machine which Virginia State Policeman E. T. Landers said was driven by Grant N. Peeples, Balti- more, injured Meade as he was walk- ing along the Richmond Highway near Ingleside, 7 miles south of Alex- andria, Motorist Is Absolved. After an inquest, Dr. C. A. Ran- som, Fairfax County coroner, gave a verdict of accidental death, absolv- ing Peoples of any criminal negligence in the accident. Police said the impact hurled Meade against the windshield of the car, and Dorothy Weiskittle, 31, Baltimore, a passenger, was slightly injured by flying glass. She was treated at Fort Belvoir Hospital, McMahon, a laborer, was killed early yesterday when run over near his home by a machine said by police to have been driven by Clarence J. Day, 28, Gaithersburg. Officers said McMahon was Iying on the road between Washington Grove and Laytonsville when the car #truck him. Day, who was accom- panied by two brothers, James and Robert, declared he saw an object in the road, but at first believed it to be a bundle. He did not realize the object was a man until too late to turn, he added. The Rockville Fire Rescue Squad took McMahon to Gaithersburg, where he was pronounced dead by Dr. W. C. Miller and removed to Barber's fu- meral parolrs. He was unmarried. Victim Critically Hurt.

The most discussed romance in the world today is that of King Edward VIII of Great Britain and a former Baltimore society girl, Mrs. Wallis Simpson. Will she be- come the queen or remain his companion and friend? The writer of the following extremely inter- esting story, an Associated Press correspondent on foreign aflairs, has known the King for many years. He was with Edward on the jront during the World War and later, in London, observed closely his activities as the Prince of Wales, BY DEWITT MACKENZIE. NEW YORK, October 26 (#).—Will King Edward of England, world's 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 a 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 divorcee for & queen, even thoiugh she be a gen- | tlewomen of undoubted charm and | culture. Lloyds brokers would like to know, | with the insurance rates fluctuating, | as speculators 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 year's 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 & wedding just ahead of it, on the basis that it would be unwise to have two big events so close together, Un- der normal circumstances, six months King Edward’s inclinations always have been toward the life ofa private individual and selection of his own Rather than become King he would have preferred to remain just plain 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 it would have might contemplate this marriage, since he is a man of sound common sense and knows that such a union might He hasn’t announced now that he intends marriage, but the barometer has slipped down toward the storm signal. Those who are well acquainted with the King say this much is certain: Won’t Be Bullied. If 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 Edward's out- standing characteristics has been a rock-ribbed stubbornness in defend- ing what he considered his personal prerogatives. He always has resented, and bat- tled against, any effort to drive him, as his prime minister and other great people have discovered to their dis- comfort. Let us take a glimpse into the past for illustration. All his life Edward has been im- patient of the titles and other for- malities which go with royalty. ‘When he was just a gangling, tow- headed lad of 13 he was sent to the Royal Naval College at Osborne. He wanted to be like other boys (just as he now wants to be like other men), and announced that his name “Wales. Taunt Brings Fight. ‘Thereupon, & colleague taunted him with “your royal highness.” The little prince fought his tor- menter fiercely with his fists for half an hour.

He was irked because they kept him at staff headquarters and would not let him battle in the front-line trenches like other men. Finally he flared at the great Lord Kitchener himself, one of the most grim and imposing personalities in Britain, “What if T do get killed?” raged the Prince. “I have plenty of brothers to carry on succession to the throne.” Flaunted Father’s Wishes. The writer, having been on this front at the time, knows personally that while Edward's regular duties were at headquarters, he did get ex- cursions into the zone of flaming death, the wishes of the cabinet and his father notwithstanding. When Edward came to the throne he let it be known both by word and by deed that as long as he must be ruler he intended to rule. He promptly dumped overboard & lot of cherished customs and in other ways made it apparent that he not only had definite ideas of his own, but intended to carry them out—and let anybody try to stop him! That caused no surprise to those Wwho had been his aides and advisers while he was Prince of Wales. The world at large knew him as & quiet mannered and rather retiring young man; his close associates knew him as a forceful individualist, and & handful fer anybody to manage. Edward smashed one tradition in his first message to Parliament.

At the outset he began to take an active hand in affairs of state, and left no doubt in the minds of his prime minister and other cabinet members that they were dealing with a real personality. Baldwin Feels His Wrath. Tt“is commonly reported in England that when Premier Baldwin ventured to make a suggestion regarding Mrs. | Simpson, the King promptly told him in effect to look after his own affairs. | He scrapped a royal precedent in announcing discontinuation of the an- nual empire-wide broadcast by the | Kipg at Christmas time, There have been many other smaller but still indicative things. Edward has continued to travel by air—the | first King in history to fly—against the wishes of the government and his | family, who fear for his safety. The famous royal railway coach was pushed aside, and his majesty con- tents himself with an ordinary first- class passage on trains, even as you and I. He ducks away from his pri- vate police guard and stalks about town alone where he pleases—some- | thing his father never would have dreamed of doing. All the clocks in the royal residence at Sandringham had been kept half an hour fast ever since the time that his grandfather, Edward VII, was late | for an appointment and decided to set | the timepieces ahead to avoid a similar occurrence. clocks put right, and people began to speculate as to whether he intended | to let his new position interfere with | his views of private life. Uses American-made Car. ‘The royal family always had been | supplied with motor cars of English manufacture. Edward recently ap- peared in a car bearing a famous American name. Coincidently, Mrs. Wally Simpson has one of similar make, and the King's chauffeur fre- | quently drives her. This is the man whom some are! trying to drive out of his friendship with Mrs. Simpson. Whatever the de- cision is regarding the fair American, Edward and the lady will make it themselves, The attentions the King is paying the Southern beauty, and the costly gifts he is said to be showering on her, do not represent his first romance. He has had plenty before, and some seemed fairly serious. This is not strange, especially in view of the fact that for years the fairest girls of all nations have been throwing themselves at the head of | “prince charming.” The mash notes | which_daily poured into St. James’ Palace for the Prince of Wales would have made a Hollywood screen idol green with envy. The British public for years has | been begging Edward to take a bride. | Prime Minister Baldwin and others are said to have tried to persuade him to this step, but always he refused. There never has been any objection to his marrying a commoner—the people would applaud him for such a democratic move. They hope he won't marry a divorcee, though. —_— BURGLARS STEAL SAFE $1,500 in Rochester Strong Box Trucked Away. ROCHESTER, N.

MARION, Va., October 26.—Coroner E. A. Holmes prepared a formal re- port today on an airplane tragedy which took the lives of four men and a womaa. A four-passenger cabin ship crashed on the Marion golf course late yester- day, bringing instant death to William T. Mitchell, 30, Bluefield, W. Va.; Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Chappell, both about 35, Welch, W. Va,, and Charles Man- chester Hendry, 40, Marion. R. B. Tidwell, 30, Bluefield, died soon after- ward in an Abingdon hospital. Witnesses told Coroner Holmes that the plane’s motor appeared to stall when the pilot attempted to nose the ship up quickly to clear a high hill. The official said the plane did not appear to be overloaded from the standpoint of weight. Smyth County officlals who inves- tigated the tragedy said that Mitchell and his party, after spending the day here with Hendry, took off for Blue- fleld with the intention of having dinner there. “He was flying low over the golf course,” Dr. W. H. McCarty told Coro- aer E. A, Holmes and Commonwealth's Attorney Ralph Lincoln, “so low that I tried to yell that he would not make & high hill just ahead.” Dr. McCarty and other witnesses said that the pilot apparently thought he could safely fly over the hill he almost reached it when he * the plane the gun and it nosed al- most straight upward.” ‘The investigators were told that the ship's motor then appeared to stall and the plane hurtled nose first into the hillside. The plane was demolished but it did not burn. Coroner Holmes said Mitchell had cut off the ignition, Known as Able Pilot. Mitchell was known as one of the ablest pilots in this region. He managed the Bristol Airport for several years prior to 1930, when he became the private pilot of Charles C. Lincoln of Marion. he had piloted for Lincoln, having purchased it from his former em- ployer. After leaving Lincoln, Mitchell flew for an airline in South Carolina until about a year ago. Since then he had barnstormed, and on the past two week ends had hauled passengers from the Marion field.

The situa- tion would not be so serious were it not for the fact that many Dela- wareans believe that Short was given & raw deal. ‘The upshot of the whole matter is that Landon is likely to lose the S'ate and the Democrats may well elect their candidates for Semator, Gover- nor and Representative. The regular Republicans are fighting hard to con- vince the voters that the contest in Delaware is between the New Deal President and the anti-New Deal Re- publican, Landon, and that the only way the anti-New Dealers can be successful is to cast all their votes for the regular Republican presi- dential electors. The Republicans themselves are to blame for the sit- uation that has developed in Dela- ware. They might have ironed out their troubles without letting them go to the State convention floor. The or- ganization, however, misjudged the extent of Short's opposition and ap- parently did not believe he would carry the fight so far. ‘There had been talk by the Repub- licans of nominating Gov. Buck for Senator. After the row, however, that was laid aside. A call went forth for Senator Hastings, then in Eu- rope, and the convention “drafted” him in a hope of avoiding further trouble. Hastings had earlier declared he did not wish to succeed himself. He yielded finally to the call and is the Republican nominee. His chances for re-election, however, do not appear to be bright.

Three Seek House Seat. In the contest for Delaware’s sole member of the House are Representa- tive J. George Stewart, Republican; 8. Austin Ellison, running on the Short independent ticket, and Wil- liam F. Allen, Democrat. Observers here say that because of the Short defection, Kent and Sussex Counties probably will give the Demo- cratic presidential electors a 6,000 lead. It may be more. Such a lead will have to be overcome in New | Castle County, where the Short vote will be smaller. The Republicans may succeed in doing this. But it is ex- ceedingly doubtful. The State may go | either way, Roosevelt or Landon, by | two or three thousand, or it may give the winner as much as 5,000 lead. Short has hurt himself and his ticket by making a .deal with the Democrats in Sussex County on the lesser offices, it is said. But be that | as it may, Short still seems to have a considerable following. Delaware is a Republican State. It stuck to Hoover in 1932, and it has | gone Republican for years and years, | except in the Republican-Bull Moose | | split of 1912, when the Delaware elec- toral votes went to Woodrow Wilson. | The margin of Republican lead, how- | ever, is never very great and normally | is around 20,000.
