With the dignity befitting SO cere-

waited for the official card. The girl.
with a saucy uplift of chin, pouted
her lips into q curve that would nave

say, Of the Cleopatra type. But there
was nothing Mark Antonish about the
young usher man. He just waited tor

managed to get a pew where they
could stand up and shut off the view
from the unticketed crowd who had
smuggled in behind them.
And because they were young, and
youth does many foolish things, they
gicgled from Lohengrin to Mendels- |

before the bride. And when they had

see the wedding party get into cars,
they giggled a whole lot more.
It was a beautiful ceremony, with

The two unlimited girls were so

MAN KILLED AT BEACH
TO BE BURIED HERE
Earle F. Marean, go, Neck Broken
by Wave, Was Native Of

The body OF Earle F.. Marean, 60

died in less than 90 minutes after be-
ing pulled from the surf at Virginia
Beach, Va, with a broken neck. yes
terday afternoon, will be brought to
Washington tomorrow to await the ar
rival of his sister, Mrs. George T. May
Of Hinsdale, ILL.,, who will arrange the
funeral.
Mr.. Marean's neck was broken, ap-
parently as the result of being picked
up by breaker and dashed upon the
hard sandy bottom. He had been
bathing with a party of friends, who,
with him, were guests at q house
party at the beach, when he suddenly
disappeared. A few moments later he
reappeared on the surface Of the water,
but seemed helpless. Miss Mollie B..
Weyman and Walter O'Bannon, both
Of this city. went to his assistance and
brought him ashore. First aid efforts
failed to revive him and 20 minutes
later a physician pronounced him dead.
Bathers nearby said Marean was in
five feet of water when he disappeared.
They believe he was caught off bal
ance by a wave. although the surf was
not unusually heavy, and thrown to
the sandy bottom.
Mr.. Marean was native Of Wash
ington and for more than rs years was
manager of the stock ticker service of
the Western Union Telegraph Co. He
retired from active work about five
years ago. He is survived by his
sister, Mrs. May; a brother. Guy Is.

ALEXANDRIA,, Va. September g.
Councilman i. f. w. Timberman yes
terday introduced a resolution in the
city council to appropriate $4,000 for
survey of adjacent territory looking
to extending the city boundaries, and
instructing the city attorney to pre-
pare proceedings. The resolution will
be formally voted upon at the next
council meeting. Although no defini-
ton was made of the territory in
mind, there are only two possible
counties into which Alexandria can
expand-Arlington, which is not in
corporated. and toward Seminary Hill
in Fairfax County.
If annexation is decided, 1t will be
necessary to make a survey and re-
quest the governor to appoint three
judges to hear the petition. The de-
cision of the judges is subject to con-
firmation or reversal by the State SUI
preme Court of Appeals. The reso.
luton recalls an annexation made by
Alexandria 20 years ago. The Court
of Appeals reversed decision handed
down by the judges and awarded this
city territory in both Fairfax Coun-
ty and Arlington County, which at
that time was known as Alexandria
County.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J.. September

of becoming Miss America of 1927, but
before they retire tonight the fond
dreams of all but one are due to be
shattered.
The Is hopefuls were selected In

each of five geographical sections Of
the country, and will meet in the finals
tonight.
Meanwhile. the annual beauty
pageant is getting along without its
ruling monarch. Miss Norma Descygne
Smallwood, Miss America of 1926. left
the resort yesterday owing to differ
ences with the pageant COMMITTEES
over money matters.
Miss SmallwOOd, who won her title
as Miss Tulsa, is said to have been
earning an average of 81 200 a week
for public appearances since she won
last years contest, and had asked the
pageant committee for propOrtionate
amount for her appearances during
the pageant. This the committee is
understood to have refused, and Miss
Smallwood left to continue her theat-
rical engagements.
In her stead, at the head of the inter.
city bathing beauties in a seven-mile
Boardwalk parade. rode Princess
America the First, who is Miss Alice
Garry of the Couer D'Aleue Indian
Reservation, near Spokane. Wash. She
was chosen to represent her people at

Miss Tulsa, was voted the most beau
tiful girl in evening gown in addition
to winning a place in the finals. Sec.
ond place was won by Miss Lois De-

my Interpretation of the letter of
Chairman Shirley of the State High

pervisors Of Arlington county is that
the State will take over the Lee Bou-

Church.
Another Interpretation" he said.
"would not be consistent with the in
telligence of Arlington County. At the
meeting in July, speakers for both
the Lee Boulevard and direct route
had asked the State to build both
roads. Mr.. Shirley in his letter Is
suggesting a plan whereby both roads
can be built. We must regard his
letter as a serious proposition, and
the advocates of both roads should get
behind Mr.. Shirley's plan for build
ing them.
IF the county refuses to adopt
Mr.. Shirley's compromise, it is my
opinion the whole spian will fall by
the wayside and we will then be back
where we were in the beginning, with
the final decision as To which road
the State will build to be determined
by the General Assembly. l believe
the direct route should be built first
that Arlington and Fairfax counties
should build it, and bond issue fol
