BROWNING CASE
 IS NOW CLEARING
Legal Residence Objection Has
 Been Wiped Out

New York, April 14 P'-Edward
 W. Browning. wealthy real estate
 operator, and hls schoolgrl.hridc, Francis Heenan, who is his junior by 36 years, were on the fourth daily round of what has turned out to be n "commutiug honeymoon"
 Although they are still subject 10 what Browning has termed painful publicity" with their every move chronicled, the legal shadows over their marriage have lifted somc- what. District Attorney Bailey, Of 1 Putnam County where they were married, yesterday cleared tho 1j- 1 year-old bride of any suspicion Of violating the county law requiring six months residence before obtain. ing n license.
 Tho only other shadow at present is tho action started in the child l ren's court here by the society for the prevention of cruelty to children before the marriage, to have the girls mother removed as an i'm proper guardian. While the improper guardianship case is pending, Mrs. Catherine IIecnan, the mother, is I in almost constant company with the bridal couple. Yesterday she loft them only for brief time, 10 visit her lawyer. Meanwhile the bridal couple went to the hotel Biltmore for the tea dansant. l Browning is an adept at the Charlc- ston, and his bride says she likes dancing, but neither entered the dancing floor.
 Mrs. Browning said she would ap- pear in the chidren's court tomor- row. She has been under summons in the guardianship case since be- fore her marriage. She said Brown ing probably would not be in court.
 T am very happy" the bride said. just before she left the ten dansant and began the journey by automobile back 10 the honeymoon house in Cold Spring, N. Y., ac- companied by Browning and Mrs. Heenan. So far they have spent most of their days travelling be- tween Cold Spring and this city.
 Efforts of an agent of the child ren's society to serve a summons for the appearance in children's court tomorrow of Justice of the peace Roy Christian, who married the Brownings at Cold Springs, failed when Christian refused to ac- cept the lmmons on the claim that it was made out erronoQsly.
