The best comparative show- ing was made by the Communists, Earl W. Browder and James W. Ford, colored, who had three-quarters as many votes as that party's 1932 candidates. The Socialists, behind Norman Andrews presented his credentials to the arris-Ewing Photo. Thomas and George A. Nelson, slipped to fourth place in the national result, after running third in 1932.

(Copyright, 1936. by the Chicago Dally News. Inc.) LONDON, Englarnd, December 10— An appearance to show cause why Mrs. Wallis Simpson's divorce decree should not be made absoiute has been entered at the official registry in Som- erset House, it was learned this morn- ing. The unknown person who has en- fered this appearance must appesr by Monday to file an afidavit indicating reasons why the King's friend should not be allotted her freedom. If the allegation of “collusion” is supported it is within the power of the court to summon the petitioner— in other words, Mrs. Simpson—to an- swer the charges. SPECIAL ORDER HELD NEEDED. Only Way to Speed Absolute Decree for Mrs. Simpson, Edward must wait until April 27, 1937, to marry Wallis Simpson, whose love he weighed against a throme, unless & “general or special order” making her divorce absolute is granted under the strict British law. Abdication is not an immediate so- lution of the bars against their mar- riage. Mrs. Simpson’s decree nisi of di- verce from Ernest Aldrich Simpson, the London broker and former guard officer whose wife she was when she met and charmed the King, does not automatically become final until six months after it was granted last Octo- ber 27. For specific reasons—not the con- venience or heaith of the applicant— the divorce may be made absolute be- fore the end of the six months’ period, but the reasons must be acceptable to both the trial judge and the King's proctor. Under an act passed in 1925 appli- cation for a quick divorce may be made to the judge who rendered the first decision (it was Sir John An- thony Hawke, at Ipswich, who granted Mrs, Simpson’s divorce) and notice, at the same time, given to the proctor, who must consent to the acceleration of the decree. - Must Not Reduce Wages.

Matt Leach of the Ine diana State police, denied he took an active part in the killing, although he admitted plotting Miller’s death in the hope of benefiting financially from the estate. Poholsky’s story was substantially the same as contained in his confes« sion to Leach following his capture last month near Warren, Ohio. RBeaten and Shot. Deliberately, he related how the | 260-pound Miller was beaten into un- | conscicusness on the back porch of {his New Trenton, Ind., home, carried |into a waiting automobile, then shot by one of the quartet as he apparently was rousing to his senses. | Driving to an isolated spot near | Carroliton, Ky., Poholsky said shallow | rock cut short an attempt to dig a grave for Miller’s body. “We took the man out of the car” he went on, “and cut off his head and hands.” The other suspects are at large. .
