Dropped Opposition to Di
vorce When He Heard
Edward’s Address.
BT the Assort*ted Press.
LONDON, March 20.—Francis
Stephenson, the elderly law cleric who
once looked askance through his gold
rimmed spectacles at Wallis Simpson’s
divorce action, bustled back today to
the obscurity ot his desk in the teem
ing financial quarter.
With an expression of regret for his
intervention in the famous case—and
an explanation for his action—he
edged out of the limelight on the ro
mance of the American-born divorcee
and England's abdicated King.
The road to the marriage of Mrs.
Simpson and the Duke of Windsor w. 3
cleared yesterday when the gray
haired. gray-mustached solicitor's
clerk withdrew his charge of collusion
--and Francis Stephenson's well-or
dered life regained its course after a
dramatic deviation.
Here's how it all came about:
In the first place, Stephenson ex
plained. he did not like the divorce
proceedings at Ipswich, October 27,
when Mrs. Simpson was granted a de
cree nisi in her uncontested suit
• gainst Ernest Aldrich Simpson.
Decided to Act.
In his modest home after work he
read the newspapers and discussed the
day's gossip about King Edward VIII
and Mrs. Simpson with his wife and
20-year-old daughter. He decided to
act.
Stepping out of his life’s role for the
first time, he intervened to halt com
pletion of the divorce.
He was not interested in publicity,
he said “It was a thing any person
could do. I made my intervention
entirely of my own accord as a pri
vate individual."
Then the situation took a new; turn.
Stephenson saw the affair in another
light.
On the night of December 10, when
the King had become Duke of Windsor
and told the world "I cannot continue
to discharge my duties without the
woman I love," Stephenson was by
his radio set.
Reaches Decision.
He reached this decision: If the
Duke of Windsor could say good-bv I
to his subjects with "God save the !
King!" then he, a managing clerk
in a law office, could forgive and
forget and toast the new monarch, j
too. And he did.
I heard every word that he said.” j
Stephenson related. "His words made *
me think ... I realized that here
was a man who wanted to be happy ;
... I thought of my own married
happiness . . .
"When I heard his words I re
gretted what I had done. But I am
absolutely satisfied with what has
been said and done in court.”
Today Francis Stephenson’s glasses j
were polished and ready for another ’
day's work and his drooping mustache i
was carefully combed
'God save the King!" he may have
murmured to himself, but no one save !
Stephenson himself knew, for he was j
all business again.
SHOWERS TO GREET
SPRING HERE TODAY
Winter to Depart Officially at
" :45 P.M., but Tomorrow
to Be Colder.
Winter, officially, will depart from
♦ he Capital at 7:45 p.m. today, at
which time the sun, moving from
Bouth to North, crosses the Equator.
At 7:46 p.m. Spring will be here,
officially. And when this phenomenal
occurrence comes to pass, it probably
will be raining.
This conclusion is based on the offi
cial report of the Weather Bureau,
which says showers are due tonight.
Palm Sunday, tomorrow, probably
will be clear, however, with balmy
breezes making the morning and aft
ernoon an ideal day for a pre-Easter
display of finery.
These gentle winds will prevail
despite the forecaster's prediction that
Bunday and Sunday night will be
"colder"
The forecaster explained that his
"colder” should not be taken too se
riously, since he merely means it
probably will be about 10 degrees
colder at 7:30 tomorrow night than at
that hour tonight.
And the way the mercury has been
behaving, it probably will be in the
low 50s at 7:30 tonight.
It climbed to 57 at 2:30 p.m. yes
terday and the morning "low" was
only 43. At 9:30 this morning it
was 46.

Dr. Walsh Hits Proposal as
Indirect Impeachment in
Series Lecture.
A charge that the administration's
attack on the Supreme Court is
responsible for the widespread inci
dents of "collective lawlessness" and
the "growing contempt for courts"
now being reported in every edition
of the public press was made last
night by Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J.,
vice president of Georgetown Univer
sity and regent of the Foreign Service
School.
He assailed the court plan as "a
device of indirect impeachment” and
an "indictment” of the judicial integ
rity of its members. It was the fifth
lecture in a series on the controversial
issue which Dr. Walsh is giving in the
Memorial Continental Hall.
The speaker warned: “He is an ama
teur psychologist and naive statesman,
be he Democrat or Republican, who
could have hoped for some miracu
lous stoppage of the floods of human
passion once fundamental "respect for
the judiciary was attacked in high
quarters by prominent Government
officials whose motives may have been
meritorious but whose language and
methods have proved highly inflam
matory.”
Praises Freedom of Courts.
Dr. Walsh dealt test night with the
origin of the Supreme Court, praising
the wise statesmanship of 1787 that
removed it from "external pressure."
Referring to President Roosevelt’s
plan to remake the court, the George
town educator said:
"What is now proposed is to elim
inate certain designated justices by
the device of indirect impeachment
achieved by public denunciation, by
radio, by contumelious innuendo, and
by accumulative indictment of their
judicial integrity and psychological
inability to render equal justice under
tew to the American people.
“The results of this dangerous ad
venture are increasingly apparent, in
the growing contempt for the courts.
* * * The laws of the land are be
ing openly defied and repeated chal
lenge to the sovereignty of govern
ment is being hurled from illegally
occupied premises. In one instance
an organized group paraded outside a
court room and frankly asserted its
purpose of intimidating a judge in
the performance of his duty.”
Rivulets Lead to F'loods.
Dr Walsh asserted that “the in
cidents of collective lawlessness that
are reported in every edition of your
newspaper, coupled with the solemn
warnings of the Governor of Michi
gan, demonstrate how rapidly giant
floods are created by the confluence
of smaller rivulets.”
He warned also that it wou’d be
hard for government to "cry halt on
the heels of a previous condonation.”
Law is the sovereign tribunal of the
body politic, he declared, as the hu
man conscience is the keeper of in
dividual morality.
“If the interpreters of the law have
developed a false conscience,” he
added, “they should be corrected and
educated, not ridiculed or liquidated.”
"For that infection,” he said, "will
spread until it attacks the very prin
ciple of constituted authority and
reaches both Legislature and the
Chief Executive.”
Because of Good Friday, there will
be no lecture next week, he an
nounced last night.
HELD TO JURY
Ella Miser, 40, colored, 939 R street,
waived preliminary hearing yesterday
in Police Court and was held for the
grand jury by Judge Edward M. Cur

MUNITIONS STRIKE ENDS
British Firm to Weigh Grievances
of Torpedo Makers.
LONDON, March 20 (/P).—Twelve
hundred striking munitions workers,
who walked out of the Whitehead Tor
pedo Works March 17, were back at
work today, while their grievances
were discussed by officials.
The workers charged the company,
flooded with admiralty orders as part
of Great Britain’s $7,500,000,000 re
armament program, violated a union
agreement by transferring two men
from one kind of work to another.
WE DECLARED
HELD ILLEGALLY.
Fight Is Mapped to Free'
Contractor and Woman
in Wife’s Death.
BJ the Associated Press.
CANTON, Ohio., March 20 —Attor
neys mapped court action today in
efforts to free Dueber S. Cable and
his twice-divorced friend, Miss Theresa
Ludwig, from custody of police inves
tigating the shotgun slaying of the
prominent contractor's wife, Rose
Beiter Cable.
The former dress shop proprietor,
for whom Cable told police he main
tained a liquor-stocked Akron apart
ment for more than two years of their
seven-year friendship, was scheduled
to appear in Municipal Court on an
informal complaint of suspicion.
Suspicion Complaint lodged.
A similar complaint of suspicion
also was entered by Detective Capt.
Elmer E. Clark behind Cable's name
on the police docket. While Municipal
Judge Carl Feist set hearing for next
Thursday, the widower’s counsel said
he might take action today
“It is known and conceded generally
that there is no evidence of any kind
against Cable in this case,” declared
Attorney William Simpson. “Police by
this charge are seeking delay. They
are and have been holding Cable ille
l itally.”
A short time before. Miss Ludwig's
counsel, former City Judge Wililam B.
Quinn, termed the jail of Canton’s
dingy, red brick police station “not fit
for a dog” and told Mayor James
Seccombe it was “Inhumane” to keep
Miss Ludwig there longer.
"Accorded Every Courtesy."
The diminutive, slightly bald mayor,
at whose request the City Council at a
special meeting last night voted a
$1,000 appropriation to further the in
vestigation. returned:
"This lady has been accorded every
courtesy. She has been kept in the
homes of our detectives and our chief,
and taken to the jail only for ques
tioning.”
Among expenses covered by the ap
propriation is rental of a "lie detec
tor." which Police Chief Ira A. Mar
derbaugh said had been used in ques
tioning since Thursday. "We are ad
mittedly playing for a break and are
doing everything we can to force it,”
the chief said.
Mrs. Cable, prominent Canton
church worker, was killed a week ago
Thursday night by a shotgun blast
fired into her home through a break
fast room window.

SYMPHONY DRIVE
TO BE EXTENDED
Volunteer Solicitors Vote to
Continue Campaign Into
Next Week.
The National Symphony Orchestra’s
campaign for a $110,000 sustaining
fund will be extended through the
early part of next week, it was de
cided yesterday by the several hundred
volunteer solicitors, who reported to
campaign leaders that there were
“large numbers of friends of the or
chestra" whom they have not yet
been able to contact.
The workers voted unanimously for
the extension at the fourth report
luncheon after new contributions to
taling more than $12,000 were report
ed by division chairmen.
Gift From Mrs. Roosevelt.
The latest gifts, which included a
substantial contribution from Mrs.
Franklin D Roosevelt, raised the
campaign total to $64,782. Solicita
tion will be continued over the week
end and through next Wednesday
noon, when a final report meeting
will be held at the Hamilton Hotel.
“Our Job is not yet finished, and
for two reasons,” Mrs. Walter Bruce
Howe, campaign chairman, said. "We
haven’t reached our goal, and we have
not yet made contacts with all the
people who. we are sure, are friends
of the orchestra. Do we wish to finish
the job?” Her question was greeted
by a chorus of yeas.
It was pointed out the $64,000 total
brings the fund to within $2,000 of
the total amount received in the 1936
campaign. Harold A. Brooks, cam
paign vice chairman, said: "This
places us ir> a most encouraging posi
tion. since we are assured of many
thousands of dollars yet to come in.”
1.385 Still Unheard lYom.
He said files at campaign headquar
ters in the Hay Adams House show
that 1,385 persons who last year con
tributed a total of *43.000 had yet to
be heard from in the present drive,
which already has netted a total of
$17,000 in what was described as “new'
money.” Old donors increased their
gifts of last year to the extent of
$12,000.
The Navy Committee, headed by
Mrs. Emory S. Land, already has gone
over the top, having exceeded its
$1,750 quota by nearly $200. Mrs.
Land reported *596.75 in new gifts
bringing her committee total to *1.940.
Included in yesterday's reports were
the following: Special gifts. $39,650:
men's business, *5.000; women's busi
ness, $4,310 25; Army, *545.27: asso
ciations, $4,081 76; civic, $3 538: edu

239.07; Junior League, *513: Orchestra
Guild, *877: suburban. $537: national.
$165. and Navy, $1,940. The total Is

Clarke, Who Quit Court at 65, j
To Baek Reform in Judiciary
Ex-Justice to Speak on
Radio for Plan of
Roosevelt.
Old age, three »core and five,
prompted the resignation from the
Supreme Court of Associate Justice
John Hessln Clarice, who is to tell the
radio audience Monday night why he
supports the President's judiciary pro
posals.
Clarice, the only living ex-member
of the Supreme Court, wrote President
Harding in 1922, six years after he
was named to the Supreme bench to
succeed Justice Charles Evans Hughes,
who resigned to run for the presi
dency against Wilson:
"X shall be 65 years old on the 18th
day of this month (September). For
a long time I have promised what I
think is my better self that at that
age I would free myself a. much as
possible from imperative duties to the
end that I may have time:
“To read many books which I have
not had time to read in a busy life;
to travel, and to serve my neighbors
and some public causes in ways in
which I cannot serve them while hold
ing importan*- public office.”
Reputed as Great Liberal.
Thus when he was still five years
from the retirement age suggested by
the President. Clarice, whose reputa
tion as a great liberal was all the
stranger because he was a mast suc
cessful railroad lawyer, lei the co>'rt,
ac he later told Who's Who, "To give
his entire time to cultivating poiblic
opinion favorable to world peace.”
He became president of the League
of Nations Non-Partisan Association
of the United States and a trustee of
the World Peace Foundation. His
hope for eternal peace nd for Ameri
can membership in the League has
been jolted in recent years, however,
and he has been quietly biding his
time in San Diego, Calif. He will be
80 in September.
Clarice's public life was one of seem
ing contradictions. When he ran for
the Senate from Ohio in 1903 against
Mark Hanna, Hanna, whom some de
picted as a "tool of the . lterests,” de
nounced him as a corporatior lawyer
and won the seat. It was true Clarke
v. s for 13 years attorney for the New
York. Chicago & St. Louis Railway,
but he campaigned on a platform of
a 2-cent railroad fare.
Favored Senators' Direct Election.
In 1894 he made the first argument
in an Ohio political convention favor
JOHN H. CLARKE.
—Underwood & Underwood
ing elertion of Senators by direct vote
of the people. He favored immediate
independence of the Philippines, a
State-directed workmen's compensa- |
tion, publication of candidates' cam
paign expenses before election day.
After his unsuccessful 2-eent-fare
campaign he accepted another post
with a railroad. At about the same
time Hughes, then Governor of New
York, vetoed a 2-cent-fare bill.
Clarke sought a seat in the Senate
from Ohio again in 1914. after the
Constitution had been amended to
permit direct election of Senators, but j
he withdrew from the race to accept !
the Federal judgeship of the North
ern Ohio district. Two years later
Wilson, at the instance of Newton D.
Baker, named him to the Supreme
Court
Clarke's colleagues noticed particu
larly that the junior justice's primary
interest was in keeping the docket
cleared. He worked so fast on the
Federal bench in Ohio that he cleared
quickly a calendar so muddled that
there was talk of creating a new
judgeship to handle the rush of busi
ness.
Amiable to Work With.
‘The most gifted orator" in Ohio
was an amiable man to work with,
it was said by Associate Justice Mc
Kenna. and he retained the respect
and good will of most persons with
whom he came into contact. Before
he becamp a Federal judge, however,
Clarke dodged a rain of brickbats so
thick that he remarked during th*
1914 senatorial campaign: “I have
favored progressive measures when It
was far from popular to do so, and
was almost mobbed for doing to"
Clarke was succeeded on the Su
preme Court by Justice George Suth
erland, who was appointed by Presi
dent Harding. Curiously, the appro
bation of Harding, then Senator from
Ohio, in 1916 speeded the Senate's
confirmation of Clarke. For a while
he was one of three Ohioans on the
highest bench, the others Chief Jus
tice Taft and Associate Justice Wil
liam Day.
Clarke lived here at 2400 Sixteenth
street at the time of his resignation.
He never married.
Diseases of Heart
Tttok Biggest Toll
Of Lives in 1935
Caused Deaths of 312
333, According to Cen
sus Bureau Survey.
Diseases of the heart accounted for
a greater number of deaths than any
other single cause during 1935, accord
ing to a detailed study of deaths by
causes, sex and age for that year, made
public today by the Census Bureau
Of the total of 1,392.752 deaths,
312.333 were due to diseases of the
heart. Of the total deaths in the
country, 771,320 were males and 621,
432 females.
The report showed that 1.247 per
sons died at ages of more than 100
years. Of this number, 417 were men
and 830 women. Greater longevity
of women was indicated by the fact
that deaths of women outnumbered
those of men for all age groups above
84 years.
There were 104,395 deaths from
pneumonia of all forms; 103,516 from
nephritis and 70.080 from all form*
of tuberculosis. Cancers and other
malignant tumors accounted for 137,
649 deaths.
Men chose death by suicide in 33
942 cases, while only 4.272 women
took their own lives. Homicide was
given as the cause of death for 8 554
men and 2,033 women.
Madrid Was Proud City.
In the last century the people of
Madrid. Spain, had a proud saying
about their city: “Prom Madrid to
heaven and in heaven a loophole to
look at Madrid."
