The honeymoon sightseers' way through Venice's streets was lined with saluting Black Shirt Guards of Honor. On the ride from Milan the Duke sat at a table writing replies and acknowledgments to great bundles of telegrams and bouquets that had been brought aboard the train. He signed himself "David" to his intimates and social equals, "Edward" to the others.

Instead of telegraph blanks, he used heavy block linen paper bearing his crest, a unicorn rampant over two towers. NORWOOD, June 4 One of the longest taxi trips ever attempted in this country will start on Monday when Miss Emily Curtis Fisher and a party of five friends will leave the Fisher homestead on Neponset st for a trip to Mexico City. The taxi service will be furnished by Jack's Taxi Service of this town, and Fred Schaier of 181 Pleasant st, a driver for the service for the past 11 years, will be at the wheel during the trip of nearly 7000 miles. It is expected that the trip wiU take about six weeks. via' -4 reign, decorations were hung out and impromptu celebrations were arranged.

At one party, a large Iced cake, inscribed "Best wishes E. and WV' was cut. In many windows of the East End of London, coronation pictures of George and Elizabeth, who came to the throne because of Edward's love for his Duchess, gave place to pictures of Windsor. Members of Parliament in the House of Commons had an unusual reminder of the wedding day when some Communists, demonstrating against the British Spanish war policy, cried as they were being hustled away by police: "Bring back Edward!" ham, Francis M.

1937, Boston Globe.) PREFERRED DEATH TO MISSING. BROTHER Youth Commits Suicide Owing to Marriage SARATOGA SPRINGS, June 4 (A P) Brotherly affection that preferred death to separation was cited by coroner Frederick G. Eaton today as the reason William Rob-bins, 23, shot himself 24 hours after the marriage of his brother, Francis. Coroner Eaton said Bobbins ended his life with a rifle in a haymow, leaving behind a note commenting on his brother's marriage to Miss Helen Hathaway. "I hope Helen and Francis will have a happy time through life," the coroner said the note declared.

"I am not taking care of the chickens as I ought." The Robbins brothers had been strongly attached to each other, the coroner said, since they were taken 10 years ago from a home near Buffalo and brought up by the family of Judg William Putnam, here. 41? State Police Continued from the First Page the personnel, stations and sub-stations of the area." "The inspector of said Commissioner Kirk, "will very often be accompanied by Lieut Edward J. Gully, adjutant, or Capt James P. Mahoney, executive officer." "Transfers No Reflection' Commissioner Kirk stated with emphasis that the transfers of patrolman "in and of themselves are no reflection on the men concerned." A general shakeup was predicted following the resignation or suspension of three members of Troop during an inquiry by Kirk. In a report of his findings to Gov Hurley, the commissioner made charges of "chiseling" of large quantities of ice cream by alleged intimidation, an attempt to get a clerk of court to accept $100 a week to give out tips on warrants and raids, and political activity forbidden by police regulations.

Other changes are as follows: Sergt Warner F. Eaton has been promoted to the rank of first sergeant, and will remain at Troop B. He enlisted April 24, 1923. Nov 15. 1926, he was made a corporal, and Nov 1.

King George VI. denied his American-born bride of yes- They pointed to three significant emissions of the coveted Hiehnese" in connection with the wedding yesterday a style which ihe Duke unavailingly sought to have conferred on Wallis Warfield as puchess of Windsor. These things, they speculated, might mean Windsor would give up the royal designation which the cwich Government did not think it fitting his twice-divorced wife hould bear: 1 Departing from custom, he did not use the royal initials R.

He was addressed simply as "Your Highness" during the wed- di3.gThe R. which had been vsed for all statements on the Duke's behalf by his spokesmen previously was not used in those issued for him after the ceremony. Pictures Again Printed Throughout England millions turned their thoughts to their former King on the day of his wedding to the woman for whom he gave up his throne. For the first time in months, the pictures of the man who was Britain "Prince Charming" smiled from the psges of his country's newspapers as the eager public scanned detailed reports of the ceremony at the Chateau de Cande at Monts.

France. Only tbe dignified Times of London, whit has not published a picture of Edward since he ceased to be King last December and never printed one of his bride, ignored the flood Of wedding photographs. Less than a column, headed "Duke of Windsor Married in France," presented its story by yesterday's climactic events to the drama of Empire and love. Even the ultraconservative Morning Post, although it spared but half a column for the wedding, published a picture of the bridal pair. Prief Radio Announcement The Government-chartered British Broadcasting Company, likewise took but little time in its programs lor tne news nom ranee.

unci announcement of 55 words told its millions of listeners: "His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, was married today to Mrs Wallis Warfield at the Chateau de Cande, Tours. The French civil ceremony was followed by the marriage ceremony of the Church of England. This evening the Duke and Duchess left the chateau in their car on their way, it is under-etood, to Austria." The more popular dailies with huge circulations, however, provided a striking contrast and gave their avid readers full pages of pictures and columns of descriptive matter, with every detail of the ceremony and the subsequent departure for the honeymoon. Editorial Raps Bishops Editorial comment echoed the Duke's own wish that he and his Duchess might enojy a "happy and useful private life" together. The Daily Express, with an oblique reference to the Church of England's refusal to recognize the blessing bestowed on the wedding by Rev R- Anderson Jardine, "poor man's parson," who defied his bishops to marry them, expressed assurance they had the good wishes of a multitude of Englishmen who "have no intention and perhaps no great prospect of learning their Christian charity from The Daily Mirror placed the blame for governmental failure to recognize the wedding on "certain Angelican ecclesiastics who appeared to be determined to be disliked by the parade of an unnecessary aloofness indicating, we gather, the disapproval which nobody but themselves cares about." Toasts to "Our Prince'' In some streets of the poorer districts of London, a health was drunk to "our Prince" and his bride in the Edward VIII coronation mugs made for a coronation which never took place.

In others there were cheers for good old Eddie." while in some of the South Wales mining towns visited by the Duke during his brief Stp riht out and buy a pack-Se of crisp.delicious Shredded Wheat today!

Modern engines at- tain an efficiency so high that I certainly would not knowingly mistreat my faithful ones. Jangle and Rice Fields As I neared Paramaribo, the clouds disappeared and I began to descend for sightseeing again. There was an uninhabitable swampy shore, with trees growing back of it. Many little houses stood out among the paddy fields through the clear air.

I soon sighted Paramaribo. The air field is 25 miles from the town. The instructions were to follow a narrow gage railroad track. Flying very low, we rounded every curve even as Casey Jones did. Nothing was visible but jungle and rice fields and houses beside the track.

I tried to see the wind direction from smoke or from clothes on lines, as I expected to find only a clearing. Then the field. An orange "sock" flew from a pole. White cloths marked the section for landing. As soon as we came into view, a bonfire was touched off to show the wind directiQn.

A man waved a white flag to attract attention to one of the best natural landing areas I have ever seen. "Zandery" is its name, which means "Sandy." As far as I can see, it is the only space of the kind for miles. Service Is of the Best We were welcomed by Commissary Wempe and Capt Sluyter, in command of troops, James Lawton, American consul at Paramaribo, and several others who had come out from town. Soldiers stood by to pump in gasoline from drums and guard the plane. Coffee, orange juice and sandwiches were ready for hot and starving flyers.

Never did I have better service anywhere. After the tanks had been refilled, and the propellers greased, the plane was taken down. We embarked A mm mm "WALLY! WALLY!" CRY AMERICANS AT MILAN By HENRY C. CASSIDY ABOARD THE WINDSOR HONEYMOON EXPRESS, June 4 (A P) A steaming tray of China tea, toast, rolls, butter, jam and lemon refreshed the new family Windsor today, breakfasting for their first time as man and wife. They sped across Europe in a private railway car to domesticity in an Austrian honeymoon castle.

The ate while the panorama of beautiful Italian Lake Mag-giore, dotted with islands and villas glittering in a brilliant morning sun, fled past the window of their locked compartment. At Milan a throng of tourists mostly American women with a scattering of English travelers shouted a refrain of "Wally! Wally!" until Edward came to the window, waved, and then brought his bride to his side. As joyful as any newlywed on an excursion to Niagara, Windsor looked forward to at least three months of blissful privacy in gray, 13th century Wasserleonburg Castle with "the woman I love" at his side. They arrived at Milan at noon and continued on the route which railroad officials said would take them to Venice, then north to Wasserleonburg Castle on another train. Customs officers in green uniforms and plumed hats swarmed aboard the train at Domodossola, Italian border station.

Detective at Door Military police lined the track. Attendants handed the customs officers the diplomatic passes for seven members of the Windsor entourage. They were quickly approved. An Italian detective was posted at the door of the car for the rest of the trip through Italy when the train chugged out of Domodossola at 9:50 a m. The Windsors were to stop over at Venice for two hours before their car was hitched to a northbound train.

It was expected they would arrive at their honeymoon castle near Noetch late in the evening to begin at least a three months' stay. Her Grace was dressed in a summery blue polka dot traveling dress which accentuated her slim figure, and a close-fitting hat. She laughed and gaily waved her hand to the crowd of cheering women in the Milan station. Edward, wearing a brown tweed suit, seemed to be in bounding spirits and showed keen delight at the reception. Gets More Than Line Copies of Italian papers brought aboard the train gave extensive space to photographs and elaborate accounts of the Windsor wedding and honeymoon.

Italy's press had given only one line to the coronation of George VI last May 12 on the throne that Edward abdicated. The train headed next for Venice, whence the couple planned to continue north to Wasserleonburg. Wasserleonburg, leased from Windsor's friend, Count Paul Muenster, for three months, lies amid Alpine lakes and peaks near the Yugoslav border. 183 Trunks Sent Ahead Two hundred and twenty-six pieces of luggage, including 183 trunks, had been sent on ahead by truck train to the "Fairyland" castle from Chateau de Cande, where yesterday the former Biitish iling took Wallis War-field to be his Duchess "until death do us part." Those on the honeymoon coach were not astir today until after it had raced across Switzerland. It reached Lausanne at 6:28 a m.

Also in the Pullman were the Duke's equerry and four servants. The Duke and his blue-eyed Duchess boarded the express at Laroche-Migennes, France, a few minutes after midnight in a flurry of excitement and under the watchful eyes of policemen and detectives after a hurried motor trip from the Touraine Chateau, where they were married. Windsor, wearing a gray, striped suit with a white carnation gaily blooming in his lapel, hurried into the shiny green, yellow and blue Pullman at the heels of Her Grace, the Duchess, and then suddenly reappeared, and, like a dutiful husband, helped to take the luggage aboard. One item was a wicker basket of lunch. A dozen handbags were stacked in the car.

These contained part of the trouseau of his slim, fashion-setting bride. The Duchess' traveling costume was a suit of navy blue wool, -vith blquse of flowered print in blue and white, quickly substituted for her wedding gown of "Wallis blue" silk. "See You in Austria" Just before the train pulled away, Windsor bade farewell to his chauffeur, George Ladbrooke: "Goodbje, Ladbrooke! See you in A jstria Then he turned to the French officials and thanked them for holding up the train for him and assisting js boarding. "Merci, merci bien," he said, smiling. DENOUNCES VICAR'S ACT IN MARRYING WINDSORS PARIS.

June 4 (A P) Rev R. Anderson Jardine, intrepid vicar of Darlington, who came from England to marry his "King" Edward, Duke of Windsor was accused today of "invading" the province of another bishop without authority of his superiors. As a result, the Anglican Church "takes no cognizance" of the religious ceremony yesterday uniting the Duke and the former Mrs Wallis Warfield, asserted Rev Prebendary F. Anstruther Cardew, the church's rural dean for France. For two reasons, Mr Jardine, the "poor man's parson," did not represent the Church of England, Mr Cardew explained: "First, he offered and performed the ceremony without the sanction of his bishop.

"Second, he invaded a province under another bishop without the permission of either the bishop of Durham, in whose diocese he is licensed to preach, or the bishop of Fulham, who is charged with administration of church affairs on the continent." The dean telephoned his superior, the Bishop of Fulham, immediately upon learning of Mr Jardine's offer to the Duke of Windsor an offer which the north of England pastor declared was dictated by his conscience. "I would prefer to die rather than see my King married outside the church," Mr Jardine said. Discussing the case last night, Mr Cardew said "the marriage was entirely a private thing" among Mr Jardine, the Duke and his bride. Hirsch Continued from the First Page that this was secret and that no one could see the transcript until the sentence was carried out. No American official was present at the actual execution.

It had been thought Chancellor Adolf Hitler might seize the occasion to make a friendly gesture to the United States by granting his attorney's plea for clemency, but Der Fuehrer decided not to exercise his prerogative. Hirsch Expected No Mercy Hirsch had expressed himself as resigned to his fate and expecting no mercy after his conviction by the court. According to an official statement, he was convicted for bringing into Germany two infernal machines for criminal purposes at the behest of treacherous elements abroad." Both the machines were said to have been seized. Hirsch was arrested last Dec 20 on his arrival in Berlin from Praha, Czechoslovakia, where his father, tsiegfrid, still lives. Helmuth's grandfather, Solomon Hirsch, whs naturalized, in New York in 1873.

Siegfried Hirsch after living in the United States eight years, returned to Czechoslovakia, where he had been born Helmuth was born in Stuttgart, in southwestern Germany. HIRSCH'S CASE STRICTLY DOMESTIC MATTER WASHINGTON, June 4 (A P) The State Department received without comment today news that Helmuth Hirsch, an American youth, had been executed in Berlin for high treason against the Nazi state. Through Ambassador William Dodd at Berlin, this Government sought to obtain clemency for Hirsch on the ground of his youth and inexperience, but it could do no more than intercede in his behalf in this manner because the case was one involving a strictly domestic matter in Germany. yy I'M TIRED OF IV STANDING HERE I'M going ran WHEAT AND STRAWBERRIES! -aaBv a WT MIS fr.

I9J7 Z3 MI Reentering the car where he and his bride occupied a rose-decorated compartment of bedroom and bath, Windsor was heard to remark to the Duchess in the vein of any solicitous, reassuring bridegroom: "Yes, I have the tickets." The train then pulled out to the, south. The couple had been delayed on their motor trip because their chauffeur lost the way from Monts.

The new Duchess led their hurried stride along the platform, her head down and her lips compressed. The Duke followed closely, smiling and waving goodby. He was hatless and his hair was ruffled. The train pulled into the yards just as they arrived. Duchess Forgot Hat The other passengers on the waiting train were required to stay aboard while the JJuKe ana Duchess entrained.

Their view of the proceedings was further veiled by another train which pulled up, shutting off their view of the platform. The excited Duchess forgot her hat. The maid who was ordered to recover it from the automobile let slip one of two leashed dogs she was holding. This brought still more excitement among the knot of spectators. The combined efforts of the station master and police finally restored order and the dog.

Before the train started the doors between the special car and the other coaches were locked by French officials to prevent any intrusion. At the outskirts of Dijon, shortly after 2 am, two policemen and two detectives boarded the train and rode to the city's station to satisfy themselves that all arrangements for the newly weds' comfort was complete. They left the train without seeing the Duke and Duchess. The express contiued to Lyons, turned east toward Milan, thence toward Trieste. The couple may motor into Austria or continue by train to one of the several Austrian villages in the vicinity of Wasserleonburg.

REMNANTS OF WEDDING DISAPPEAR AT MONTS MONTS, France, June 4 (A P) Monts was just another lovely hamlet in the chateau country today. Remnants of the story-book wedding of the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Warfield, whose love he held dearer than his throne, were swept from the Chateau de Cande. Dr. Charles Mercier, the rotund country doctor-Mayor, who married them, went unmolested on his rounds of patients. The community took down its flags and banners.

The reminiscences started. And Mr and Mrs Charles Bedaux, American hosts to the Duke and Duchess, prepared to receive a week-end house party of French nobility. Mr and Mrs Herman L. Rogers of New York and the Riviera, staunch friends of the newlyweds, will stay several days before returning to their chateau at Cannes, where they gave refuge to the new Duchess during the December crisis when Edward abdicated his throne to marry her. Amelia Continued from the First Page she might try to reach Fortaleza, Brazil, today for a hop of 1628 miles.

She will fly more than 200 miles over water crossing the mouth of the Amazon. FLIGHT OVER JUNGLE DESCRIBED BY AMELIA By AMELIA EARHART PARAMARIBO, Dutch Guiana, June 4 Rain clouds hung around Caripito yesterday as we left. We flew over jungle most of the way to the coast, and then played hide-and-seek with showers of rain until I decided I had better forego the scenery and climb up on top. An altitude of 8000 feet topped all but the highest clouds. The first large settlement seen was Georgetown, British Guiana.

When it was sighted, we were out at sea, cutting corners. Thirty miles away, we could see neat irrigated fields along the coast. Strong head winds again today cut the speed to an average of only 148 miles, which time included dodging squalls and flying low. I cannot make fast time at low altitude, other conditions being the same, for it is too hard on the engines to open the throttles wide when near the ground, except momentarily, on TTARVARD EXPORT BEER, a pleasant companion to good food, has the distinctive, delicate flavor that gives added relish to your meals.
