t-d u ruling from John A. Moran, I chief clerk of the railway mull ' service here, citing penalties tor I interference with federal mail. The Indiana railroad Is under | contract to carry mall on the In i dlanapolia-Munde division, passing through Anderson, which was halted March 19 by the strike demanding the 20 per cent wage increase ami a closed shop. The first car. carrying 43 bags of mail, left Indianapolis nt 6 a. m. today with Moran accompany- ■ lug Fifteen bags of mail were dropp|cd at Fort Benjamin Harrison, army post at the northeastern ' outskirts, of Indianapolis, and' ’ other pouches left at Lawrence I and Oaklandon. The car operated as far as In-1 ' galls under power supplied by a station at Broad Ripple, at the ' edge of Indianapolis, hut could not I continue for lack of additional | power from the Anderson station. All bags remaining on the ear when It halted were taken to Pendleton by truck. A. G. Garrigus. postal inspector, said he had not received a complaint from Moran on halting of ; the mail through lack of power, j “It is a question of whether the [ i baiting of the car through failure to provide power constitutes a federal violation." Garrigus said. Robert Armstrong, vice president and international representative of the strikers’ union, when informed of the suspension of attempted mail service, said: "If the company had kept its contract with the union it would have no difficulty now in keeping its contract with tile government j for mail service.” It was indicated at traction

« Delight Jewett Awaiting the day when she must take the stand to tell her strange story of allegedly having been lured to Hollywood from her home in Denver, Colo., by John Wuest Hunt on pretense of becoming the “Virgin Mary” in weird eult rites, Delight Jewett is studying the law which governs her case. She charges that Hunt, wealthy white aid* of Father Divine, persuaded her to accompany him, then seduced her.

I company offices that no attempt s would be made to carry passe.n- < j gers on the line unless pickets I were evicted under court order. ) 0 | i MRS. SIMPSON ] iffINTINITO m>M PAOt ONB). ’ has been twice married. An hour after the hearing, Syd- 1 ney Barron, clerk of Mrs. Simpson’s Bolicitors, Theodore Goddard 1 and Co., left Somerset House near l the law courts with the official 1 icopy of Mrs- Simißon's decree, 1 I sealed and signed by H. D. Dee. Pereira, the registrar. The solicitors telegraphed the ( I news to Mrs. Simpson and arrang- | . ed to air mail the official copy to ■ her. ( i Mrs. Simpson obtained her pre- ( liminary decree nisi at Ipswich, ( Oct. 27. It was necessary to wait . six months for the final decree. Last week Mrs. Simpson's lawy- ’ ers made the formal application ; for the decree absolute. Sir Boyd Merriman, president of the divorce court, took the bench 1 personally today to assume direct ' responsibility for the award. There were about 60 persons in ' the room when court No. 2 of the divorce division was called to session at 10:33 a. nt. (2:33 a. m. CST). Outside, in brilliant sunshine, workmen were draping the] old gray stone law courts building | . with red and white streamers of ' bunting for the coronation of King : George VI nine days hence. The crowds here for the festiv-1 ities were interested in them alone i I and few even knew that in the | I court building the decree was be-1 j ing granted which left their form-1 ' er sovereign, their one-time “Prince ' Charming.” the man who left his people and his country for “the woman I love,” free to marry Mrs. Simpson. As the president of the court took his seat and the court was announced as in session, the couit [ clerk rose. In his hand was the official cause list from which he read: “Applications to make absolute decrees nisi in the following causes: Nos. 1 to 78.” Almost unintelligibly — and a shade irritably —Sir Boyd said: "Any obections?" Practically in the same breath he added: “I then pronounce the decrees ;us made absolutely.” Mrs. Simpson's case was No. 56 in the list —"Simpson W. versus Simpson E. A.” Immediately, the court went on with ordinary business. The people in the room were mostly ordinary "rubbernecks” shopping for a free show and it is doubtful whether any knew that the his- ■ toric Simpson case was on the lis.t Os those there on business, most were solicitors’ clerks interested in cases of their own. In glaring contrast to their con- ' servatism last October when Mrs. Simpson obtained her decree nisi, i the newspapers rushed out special i editions today to tell of the decree absolute. Soon after the hearing, people in the streets were reading the stories splashed over first pages. Pictures of Mrs. Simpson appeared with the stories which pushed news of the bus strike . aside. It was six months and one week after Mrs. Simpson obtained her divorce decree from Simpson, hei second husband, on her charge of his adultery at a Thames-side resort near London. The British ptlbTO heard little of the divorce and less of the romance between Mrs. Simpson and i their then sovereign because of a i

strict self-censorship by newspapers. On Dec. 1, the Rt. Rev. A. W. F. Blunt, bishop of Bradford, in a ’ speech at a diocesan conference, . expressed the wish that the king.! with approach of his coronation as ; head of the church of England as well as monarch, “gave more positive signs of his awareness of his need of divine grace.” He criticized the king's life and friends. That (provided the lever by which the government forced to its climax the dispute between Edward VIII an dhis prime minister, Stanley Baldwin, over the king's insistence on marrying the twice-divorc-ed American woman and making her his queen. On Dec. 3, the British public was astonished and dismayed to read that there was a constitutional crisis over the king's determination to marry a woman most people never had heard of. The newspapers, unleashing themselves at last, gave full details. It was too late to avert a break. Mrs Simpson left the country secretly on the night of Dec. 3 and took refuge first at Cannes, France, then at the chateau. The duke withstood a siege of a week at his country home, Fort Belvedere, London, deaf to pleas of his ministers and his family that he renounce her for the country’s sake. ' He refused angrily. 1 On Dee. 11, Edward formally abI dicated. He made a radio speech jto the people of his empire, a | speech in which he said that he ■ found it impossible to continue [ without “the woman I love,” and I left that night for the continent. 1 He went direct to Enzesfeld castle. ' near Vienna, and remained until |he moved to St. Wolfgang, near Salzburg. Since then the duke, Mrs. Simpson, Great Britain and the world have been awaiting the end of the six months’ interval, which, tinder British law, must elapse between the decree nisi of divorce and the decree absolute which makes the principals free to remarry. The duke has agreed not to marry until after his brother’s coronation next week, so that there would be nothing to detract attention from the festivities incident i to the formal enthronement of his' brother — successor King George VI. o Indiana High School Graduations Increase Indianapolis, May 3. — Approximately 10.000 more seniors will graduate from Indiana high schools i his year than 10 years ago, Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of public instruction, said today. Nearly 32,000 will graduate this year as compared to compared to 22,000 in 1927. Mr. McMurray attributed this to the growing tendency for business firms to demand high school education for their employees. The last three years schooling of this year’s high school graduates were financed partially by state distribution of gross income tax and excise collection funds. Undo* a law passed by the 1937 legislature, annual distribution to eac hteaching unit will be increas-j ed from SSOO Io S7OO. o Auto Heater Invented Waukesha, Wis. (U.R) An auto mobile heating system designed for the comfort of backseat drivers was exhibited by Bert Faultersack, Waukesha inventor. Faultersack thought so much of his heating plant that he resigned as head engineer at a bottling plant.

F. of L. urge all its members and 1 their families to stay away from the theaters," he said. The effectiveness of the tech-: nicians strike will not be evident' until the studios open today, the J first full working day since it was j called Friday night. It was not I believed that production would be. stopped on any of the 50 pictures now being made, but it was be- ■ lieved that the work might bo ! impeded seriously. Most actors were to report for : work between 11 a. m. and noon (CSTI but craftsmen were due I earlier. A skeleton force of plckI ets was on duty all night. At a guild mass meeting last i night. 3.800 actors decided to wait a week before making a final decision on a strike vote. A strike by the actors would paralyze the $255,000,000 industry. Eleven technicians' unions are on strike, demanding a “closed" . shop. Sunday, eight more unions joined the original three.
