The body of Robert Venables, 21, Who was drowned Sunday when a canoe capsized as he and a chum attempted to shoot the rapids above Chain Bridge, was recovered yester- day from the Potomac River near Fletcher's boat house. Two youths, Marshall Carpenter of Arlington, Va, and Calvin Collier, 3263 O street, discovered the body floating in midstream about a half mile below Chain Bridge as they were going fishing. Tying to it a fishing cord, the boys pulled Venables' body to the boat house landing. Harbor pre- cinct police were summoned and re- body to the District H. C. Rakemann, 1928 Biltmore street, the dead youth’s cousin, Venables, the first drowning victim of the year, was a graduate of the University of Maryland®and employed at the American Security & Trust Co. He was canoeing with Norment Custis, 22, of 1839 Irving street, a companion since childhood, when the accident occurred. Custis was sucked under by the current while swimming to shore with his friend, and when he again reached the surface Vena- bles had disappeared. Funeral services are being held this afternoon in Cedar Hill Cemetery, with Rev. Dr. James H. Taylor, pastor of Central Presbyterian Church, offi- ciating. The body was to be cre- mated and the disposition of the ashes decided on after receipt of word from Venables' mother, Mrs. H. T. Herring, wife of Col. Herring, who-is in the Philippines. Miss Amelia Rakemann, 1803 Irving street, Venables’ aunt, said the family had wired Mrs. Herring, but up to early today had received no reply. This she believed due to the proba- bility Mrs. Herring is away from home in the islands with Col. Herring while the latter is on some official mission. Young Venables’ sister, Miss Shirley Dale Venables, lives with the aunt at the Irving street address, where he also resided. Windsor (Continued From First Page.) she was of lower rank before her marriage British society and persons to whom the distinction between “the Duchess of Windsor” and “Her Royal Highness |the Duchess of Windsor” are vital matters cited the highly authoritative “Debrett's” as conclusive proof that former Edward could not win. They referred also to the status of Queen Elizabeth herself at the time she married the then Duke of York and contended that only an act of the King could confer a royal title on Mrs. Warfield. Queen Elizabeth, who was the com- moner-born Lady Elizabeth Bowes- Lyon, was raised to royal rank by King George V, her father-in-law, by a special announcement after her mar- riage in 1923. Today’s sources maintained there was no indication that King George VI was contemplating such a step, espe- cially in view of strong governmental opposition. “Debrett’s,” the august red and gold tome on “‘Peerage, Baronetage, Knight- age & Companionage,” points out that systems of precedence for ladies of the nobility have been altered since 1917. In that year, the almost official reference shows, it was ordained that henceforth the style of “Her Royal Highness” should be confined to issue of the sovereign and to daughters of the sovereign's sons. The styles of “Highness” and “Serene Highness,” the handbook states, thus would be allowed to lapse gradually. However, the present Queen Eliza- beth became “H. R. H.” by royal edict after she became the Duchess of York and Lady Alice Christabel Montagu- Douglas-Scott received the same title by permission of George V when she was married to the Duke of Gloucester. The Duchess of Kent, married to the present King's youngest brother, already was “ber royal highness,” be- cause she was a daughter of Prince Nicholas of Greece. Long Descent From Royalty. It also was pointed out that the present Queen and the Duchess of Gloucester were descended from roy- alty of centuries back and thus could June Weddings of 1892 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

The duke in light shorts and black sweater and Mrs. Warfield in light skirt and large-checked blazer are indicated by arrows. lay some claim in their own right to ‘H. R. B” Debrett's says in somewhat cryp- tic addition that “wives usually take the same rank as their husbands,” but no authority could be found to bear on the specific case of Mrs. War- field, once she marries the duke. Sources close to the Duke of Wind- sor intimated the deadlock, over which the royal family has been said to be divided, was considerably eased if not broken. Word from the Chauteau de Cande, romantic French retreat of the duke and Mrs. Warfield, that a wedding an- nouncement would be issued Monday or Tuesday created an unofficial im- pression that an accord had been reached or was expected soon. An agreement, it was believed, would de- cide whether their marriage, probably in June, shall be private or public. The manner in which the duke and his duchess-to-be proceeded with mar- riage plans in France indicated that they, at least, were confident the problem would find a happy solution. Edward was closeted for five hours yesterday at Chateau de Cande with his attorney, A. G. Allen, who had hurried from London. This con- ference gave rise to speculation as to whether he brought news concerning the reported differences. Herman L. Rogers, American friend of Edward and Mrs. Warfield, said at the chateau he had “no idea whether | a marriage settlement was discussed.” | Rogers added that full details of the wedding ceremony would be an- fnounced Monday or Tuesday and the | list of invited guests shortly thereafter. Thousands danced last night at the coronation costume ball in the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington. King George and his Queen were hosts at another brilliant state banquet in Buckinghem Palace. Today the prime ministers and representatives of the dominions will meet in the first imperial conference in seven years in the quiet Old World | drawing room of St. James Palace with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin presiding. Not since 1930, excluding the Ot- tawa Trade Conference of 1932, have the empire ministers met formally. Questions of foreign policy, arma- ments, defense, trade and communi- cations will be discussed. DUKE MAY BUY U. S. ESTATE Reported Ready to Bid Tomorrow on Long Island Property. NEW YORK, May 14 (#).—An auc- tioneer’'s hammer tomorrow may close & deal bringing the Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Wallis Warfield to a Long Island estate after their marriage, for residence at least part of the year. Kenwood, a 54-acre estate with a 12- room mansion on Cove Neck on the island’s north shore, will be up for sale at auction Saturday. The Duke, through English agents, whose identity was not disclosed, was reported ready to bid. William B. Leeds, owner of the es- tate, said aboard his yacht in Miami Harbor last night that he knew “nothing whatever” of the report, but Arthur C. Sheridan, New York City auctioneer in charge of the sale, con- firmed it, as did Miss Sadie M. Lack, secretary to Leeds. Sheridan said, “That’s right,” when asked if the duke was interested in the estate. The estate has a large boat house, which alone cost $200,000 to build. It has a second-floor reception room and bar. It is located between the rolling | hills of the North Shore and Long Lsland Sound, between the estates of Theodore Roosevelt, son of the former President, and George Emlen Roose- It started way back in 1892 . .. and tradition has it that Brides who seek quality . . . shop at A.

Indian Bride, 16, Admits Killing Husband Who Threatened Her By the Associated Press. GOWANDA, N. Y, May 14.—Jus- tice of the Peace Julius J. Flogaus said today a 16-year-old Indian girl bride had confessed to him she had shot her Seneca husband near here last night after he had “threatened to tie her to a railroad track.” The husband, Ivory White, an Indian athlete, died soon after the girl, the judge said, had come, weeping, to his house to tell what happened. An undersheriff sald White was “be- tween 28 and 30 years old. Today the child wife, Norma White, was being questioned by officials, but United States Attorney George L. Grobe said no charge had been placed against her. “I know her ancestors from ‘way back,” Justice Flogaus said. “She's good stock. I recommended that they let her go home. “She told me she shot her husband when he told her to get up and bake some biscuits for their dog. “She had been beaten. One of her eyes was blackened. She said Ivory had threatened to tie her to the tracks and let a train run over her.” Undersheriff Byron Inderbitzen sald the couple had been married eight months “and Norma is expecting a child.” REPORTED LESSENED Federal Official Believes Warnings Against Too Rapid Price Rise Were Effective. By the Assoclated Press. A Federal financial authority de- clared today official fears of inflation have subsided—at least for the time being. The official, who declined to be quoted by name, cited three major reasons for his belief that warnings against the dangers of a too “rapid upward spiral of prices had taken effect.” 1. Prices of many articles which were climbing rapidly two months ago have leveled off recently. The Labor Department’s index of whole- sale commodity prices dropped a little 2. Congressmen are showing intense interest in the problem of balancing the budget. Strong “economy blocs” in both houses are seeking to hold down expenditures for the coming year, 3. Government officials have shown renewed interest in the problem of curbing monopolies in business. The Justice Department has challenged the Aluminum Co. of America under the anti-trust laws, and Attorney General Cummings has recommended revision of these statutes, velt, another member of the family, which owns most of the property on | Cove Neck. Before Leeds brought Kenwood in 1926, it was the property of J. Stuart Blackton, motion picture producer, who made several silent pictures on | the estate with Jack Pickford, Anita | Stewart and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle. The duke knows the estate. In 1921, when he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Burden at a neigh- boring estate, he visited Rodman Wanamaker at Kenwood. Wanamaker had leased it that year. Two months ago the duke was re- ported to be considering leasing the country residence of Mr. and Mrs. Sumner A. Parker, near Brookland- ‘CUTBACK’ INQUIRY ASKED BY WHEELER Some Large Shippers Making Pay- ments to Rail Officials, Senator Asserts. Chairman Wheeler of the Senate Railway Finance Investigating Com- mittee announced today he would seek a Federal inquiry into “cut- back” payments, which he asserted were made by some large shippers to transportation officials. He described ‘“cut-backs” as a “wide-spread abuse affecting our transportation system.” He said he had received evidence that some railroad officials were accepting “cut- backs,” or personal payments, from coal companies and equipment firms in return for the patronage of their lines. Wheeler noted that some huge rail- road systems are controlled, through a pyramid of holding companies, by persons who have “a very small financial stake in the carriers.” These individuals, he claimed, con- trol orders for coal, steel and roll- ing stock amounting to many mil- lions annually, and “many firms are willing to pay & cut-back to get their business.” He said he Loped the investigation could be made either by his commit- tee or by “an independent Federal agency.” . Squeak Foils Jailbreak. SCOTTSBLUFF, Nebr.—Phyllis Mar- tin, 13, daughter of the city jailor, and | her companion, Darlene Miller, also 13, thought they heard ‘“squeaky noises” in the basement of the City Hall, where the city jail is located. They investigated, found Victor Becker, 17, sawing bars on a jail sky- light, called police and foiled the at- tempted jailbreak. BOAT TRIMMINGS ville, Md., near Baltimore.

By the Assoctated Press. A Senate committee witness testified today that a pending proposal for re- organizing the Chicago & Eastern Il- linois Railway would give “effective control” of that line-to the Chesa- peake & Ohlo Railway. The C. & O., he added, would hold only 20 per cent of the C. & E. I. stock. The witness, Carrol Shanks, chair- man of a bondholders’ protective group, told the Senate Railroad Finance Committee the line “actually can be controlled through a relatively small block of stock” and “such mi- nority control sometimes leads to abuses.” He added, however, that the bond- holders “would rather have the C. & ©O. in charge of operations than almost any other management we can think of " “We creditors could take over the control,” he explained, “but we don't want to get into the railroad business.” Claim Is Challenged. His views were challenged by Ken- neth D. Steere, chairman of the board of the C. & E. I, who took his post in 1931 at the request of the powerful Van Sweringen transportation inter- ests, which now dominate both lines. Steere protested that he did not believe the C. & O. could maintain control with only 20 per cent of the voting stock. He acknowledged, how- ever, that he “has charge of the proxy machinery” and could mobilize heavy support from other stockholders. Shanks testified he would not ap- prove any provision in the reorganiza- tion plan which would limit the re- sponsibility of the management. He said “The stockholders have no pro- tection except the integrity of the directors and no safeguards should be removed.” Hits Reorganization Plan. “And often the directors are put on by outside interests,” remarked Com- mittee Chairman Wheeler, “just as Mr. Steere was, without holding any financial interest whatever.” He criticized sharply the entire plan of reorganization. He asserted it would “perpetuate” the control of the Van Sweringen interests, “obtained secretly and illegally in defiance of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion.” ‘The creditors would be forced to “give away” $5,000,000 worth of ac- crued interest, he said, and would re- ceive non-cumulative income bonds, which he termed “the worst kind they could possibly have.” Brokers in Control. Shanks agreed the bonds might be better, but insisted they were “the best the railroad can carry.” Wheeler contended that creditors and stockholders could not be sure of adequate protection so long as cone trol rested with the vast Van Swer- ingen empire. He said this 23,000-mile rail network is commanded by Young & Kolbe, & firm of New York brokers which exer- cises control “through a maze of pyra- mided holding companies,” althougn its investment is only about 1 per cent of the total. “Even the officers of some of the Van Sweringen compenies,” he as- serted, “haven't known some of the things that have gone on in their firms.” U.
