COUzENS-CHEWN|N
ELOPEMENT GIVES
SOCIETY SURPRISE
Heiress and Bank Teller Wed
Quietly at Baltimore Shrine
of Sacred Heart.

Miss Mango Couzens, 21-year-old
heiress to the millions amassed by her
father, Senator Couzens, of Detroit,
sprung one of the social sensations of
the Winter season yesterday, saying
nothing to relatives and clipping to Bal
timore, where she was married 70 Viii
liam Jeffries Chewing, jr., teller at the
West End branch of the Washington
Loan g. Trust Co. Chewing is four
years older than his bride, and is also
prominent socially. He is the son of
DR. and Mrs. william Jeffries Chewing
of Fredericksburg, Va. s,e.~.
Senator Couzens was advised of the
marriage by telephone message from
Mrs. Couzens yesterday, after the bride
had called her mother from Baltimore.
When the Senator left his daughter at
the breakfast table yesterday morning
he understood she was going horseback
riding with her sister. The youthful
bride is well known equestrienne, and
has been prominent competitor in So
ciety horse-show events about WASH
ington since her family came here from
Detroit. She was scheduled to appear
in show at the Riding and Hunt Club
last night.
The Senator was busily engaged in
legislative work at the Senate yesterday
afternoon when he learned of his
daughters marriage, and indicated the
news was a complete surprise TO him
The parents of young Chewing Ike
wise had not been advised of his inten-
ton, and the news also was a surprise
to them.
Senator Couzens had expected the
young couple here last night, but in
stead, they took Bay Line steamer
to Old Point Comfort and Norfolk.
Dispensation Granted.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed at the rectory of the Shrine of
the Sacret Heart in Noun Washington,
fashionable suburb of Baltimore, by
Mgr. Louis r. :5tickney, rector of the
church. Mrs Chewing is of he Cath
olic faith, and her husband is member
of the Episcopal Church. Archbishop
Curley gave dispensation for the mar
riage.
Miss Couzens drove from Washington
to Baltimore in her own car, and the
bridegroom followed in his car. They
were met at the Belvedere Hotel in
Baltimore by Marshall Jones of Balti-
more, cousin of the bridegroom. Mr.
Jones had arranged for the dispense
ton, and the couple first went to the
residence of the archbishop to obtain

PerShing Is Honor Guest at
MidWinter Dinner of
Board of Trade.

The gayest and most elaborate of the
long series of Midwinter dinners that

FRENCH TONNAGE
THESIS SEEN HERE
AS FARLEY BLOCK
Proposal to Transfer From
One Category to Another
viii Delay Agreement.

Acceptance of a French thesis of
global tonnage as the basis for future
negotiations by the London Naval Linn
itations Conference may materially pro-
long the conference, in the opinion of
well informed official quarters in Wash
ington.
When combined with the proposal to
authorize the transfer of tonnage from
one category to another, one official de-
cIared here yesterday this plan is likely
TO make it considerably more difficult
to get specific agreements on tonnageS
In the various categories in the end.
This does not mean that the admins
tration's confidence in the ultimate
success of the conference has been
shaken in the least. But it does mean
that President Hoover's prophecy of
three or four month conference is
very likely to be fulfilled, particularly
if progress is made no faster in the
future than in the first two weeks of
sessions.
Disappointment Manifest.
Disappointment in administration
quarters over the inability of the con-
ference to agree upon an agenda after
two weeks Of negotiations has become
interestingly HldI14CoO, anu IOpS WAS CA-
pressed yesterday that events of the last
40 hours have cleared the way for
consideration of the major problems.
That the demands of France would
have to be met and compromised first
was recognized here while the American
delegation was still on board the
George Washington, en- route to Lon
don. It was believed. however, that
the first week or ten days would find
these problems disposed of one way or
another and the conference with its
decks cleared for real action at the
beginning Of its third week, at the
latest.
AS viewed by administration quarters
here, after close study of official dis
patches from the American delegation
the compromise on the French thesis
for global tonnage Is analysed as fol-
lows:
The five participating powers--the
United States, Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan-agree that each shall
agree to limit its entire navy, including
battleshipS, cruisers, destroyerS, sub
marines, airplane carriers and small
auxiliarieS such as mine layers, to a
given number of tons. That is global,
or total tonnage.
France Wins in Principle.
France wins in principle only. and
only temporarily The next step is to
obtain from each of the powers a state
ment of how they propose to divide
this tonnage among the six mentioned
categories Such a statement will de-
| pend altogether upon the needs of the
respective nations. The difficulty then
arises of obtaining agreements RESTRICT
, ing tonnage in the various categories to
a point which will not force renewed
competition.
In sense, it was said, the global
tonnage plan merely "postponeS the
evil day" Sooner or later the powers
must get down to specific figures in
categories and agreeing to accept the
French thesis is regarded in some quar-
ters here as taking longer road to
the same objective to overcome French
objections to the shorter route. Some
such compromise, however, is admitted
