BRIDE, 14, FACING SCHODL SUMMONS ‘Law May Interfere With Mar- riage of Youthful Elopers. The school laws of the District threaten to interfere with the plans of William Beall, 17-year-old bridegroom, of 633 F street northeast, and his wife, who formerly was Miss Mildred Watson, 14-year-old seventh grade stu- dent, by compelling her to return to her studies. ' The couple eloped and were married in Rockville, Md., Sunday, and then, still keeping the wedding secret, disappeared from their homes Wednes- day on a belated honeymoon. Beall declared this morning that his wife will keep house for him and not 80 back to her classroom at the Pierce 8chool. but the law decrees differently. No matter whether a girl under 16 years be married, she must go tb school unless some unusual condition inter- feres, says the school attendance law of the District. Being 14 years old, she is eligible for a work permit, which would allow her to be occupled in a gainful employment, but school authorities maintain that the law does not specify the work of a housewife as “gainful em- ployment,” so the young lady must go back to her studies, it is thought.

The message stated: “Mar- ried Sunday and very happy.” When they left home Wednesday afternoon the had said they were going canoeing. Until today, the location of the elop- ers was unknown.
