BOSTON SOCIETY FOLK
FAIL TO WED ON DARE
Couple at City Hall Say An
nouncement Was Joke.

BosToN, May 27.--A dare accepted and
a bet made resulted in Miss Elizabeth
D. Wells. daughter Of State Senator
Wellington Wells, and William F. Fitz-
gerald, Jr., son of Boston banker and
a Harvard undergraduate, being on
record at City Hall to-day as intending
to marry. yet each protesting that there
was no real intent.
1t all grew out OF challenge to Miss
Wells by girl society chums. she ex-
planned, adding. Rather than be poor
sport accepted the defi.'
Part Of the proposal was that the
man be chosen by her chums. and when
Mr.. Fitzgerald was named Miss Wells
assented But the young man had to be
convinced she would go through with it
and offered to bet that she would not.
The bet was accepted like the dare, and
Miss Wells. 20, with Mr.. Fitzgerald. 22,
went to City Hall and filed formal an
nouncement Of their intention to marry.
1T was a lark, a joke No oath was
taken, no promise made, and except for
what appears now a rather foolish stunt
and the substantial bet that expect Mr..
Fitzgerald to pay it's all over Miss
Wells asserted. Mr.. Fitzgeralds parents
spoke for him to say that there was no
serious intention involved.

DEMOCRATS STILL
APUZZLE ON BONUS
Hold Whip Hand in Finance
Committee Test to Be
Made Tomorrow.

Special Dispatch 10 THE NEW YonK HExALp.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. G., May 2s.
When the Senate Finance Committee
on Monday takes up the question Oh
framing bonus bill'which will meet the
requirements of the American Legion
and the exactions of President Harding
a great tug of war will be started and
the outcome is very uncertain.
Chairman NcCumber Is counting upon
the Democratic members who will at
tend the meeting TO break the deadlock
over his bill and tine insurance plan
sponsored by Senator SmOot (Utan). II
Is by no means certain. however. that
enough Democrats will Join with Chair
man McCumber to give him commit
tee majority.
Opponents of the McCumber plan
among The Republican members Of the
committee intend to voice vigorous pro-
tests against Its adoption. They feel cer-
tain they can persuade enough Demo-
Gratis TO keep hands off to block that
proposal. Then move will be made to
have the Smoot measure approved and
deadlock on that issue is predicted.
In that event some effort will be made
to effect compromise.
Bonus advocates among the Repubii-
cans admitted to-day that the Democrats
hold the whip hand concerning the pro-
posed legislation. II they were so dis
posed they could block any legislation.
Senator Walsh (Mass.). who will lead
the fight OF the Democrats I'm the COM
mittee. said to-day his associates had
adopted no definite program concerning
the bonus.
"Of course our first concern Is to have
a measure enacted which will please the
members Of the American Legion" he
explained. I'VE understand that the ex-
service men are clsmoring for measure
providing for cash payments If desired,
and we shall concentrate our efforts
along that line"
The Massachusetts, Senator admitted
that the Democrats have evolved no
plan to surmount the financial barriers
outlined by the Treasury Department
which would be erected should any bonus
bill be enacted. The only plan thus far
advanced by the Democrats has been to
raise the needed funds by using part OF
the foreign debt.
