Wedding Of Ambassador Schur-

Only After Much Negotiating.
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN. May 15.-The marriage OF
Dorothy Schurrnan. daughter OF the
American Ambassador Schurman, to
Lieut.. James McHugh OF Wichita,
Kans.. scheduled for May 10, has dem
onstrated how difficult it is for for
eigners to get married in Berlin.
Despite assistance of German Off
cials, Ambassador and Mrs. Schurman
we're unable to announce the date Of
the wedding until after 10 days ne
gotiations with the courts and the
municipal license bureau. The Berlin
regulations made 1t almost impossible
for foreigners to get married in less
than a period of three weeks.
The appellate court must issue an
affidavit in all cases Of the weddings
of foreigners, declaring there are no
legal obstacles to the marriage, and
the banns must be posted in public
places for period of two weeks. The
maximum legal charge to obtain q
marriage license is $500.

export inquiry toward the end of the
week, and buyers for domestic con-
sumption who had been holding off
pending a settlement of the strike
abroad, reentered the market. A con-
siderable business has been reported
in electroyltic on the basis of 1873
cents delivered and while metal was
still reported available at that figure,
some of the producing interests were
asking IA cents at the end of the
