Married. Don Marquis, 48, famed Manhattan columnist, amiable novelist-poet-playwright; to Mrs. Marjorie Vonnegut, actress. His first wife, the former Reina Melcher, died two years ago.

Married. Albert Tangora, for the last three years "world's champion typist" (last December he wrote 130 3/10 words a minute for one hour); to Miss Dorothy Lane, Paterson, N. J., typist. William F. Oswald, champion typist in 1919, functioned as best man.

Died. Barbara La Marr (Reatha Watson), 29, famed cinema actress, daughter of William W. Watson, Portland, Oregon, newspaperman; at Altadena, Calif., of a lingering illness. "More than 120,000 persons" passed her bier as she lay in state at Los Angeles. A crowd of 10,000 broke up the funeral when it was finally held, milled about furiously while two cordons of police vainly attempted to keep them back, burst through the police guard, knocked Bert Lytell, one of the cinema-star pallbearers, against a wheel of the hearse, sent the other pallbearers fleeing for safety. This stampede apparently resulted from the desire of numerous women to touch the silver casket of "the girl who was too beautiful to live." Five women fainted, were carried into the funeral parlors to be revived. Men and boys screeched and shouted from treetops, sign boards, roofs.

Died. William Madison Wood, 68, famed founder and retired President of the American Woolen Co., world's largest textile concern, son of a Portugese sea cook named Jacintho (who later took the name William Jason Wood), at Daytona Beach, Fla., by shooting himself through the mouth. He had long had ill health.

Died. James B. Newsome, 76,* oldest Pullman porter; in Chicago. He had traveled over 6,000,000 miles in Pullman cars, since 1870, without ever having been complained against. His motto was, "Never argue with a fool, humor him." Buffalo Bill once gave him $100.

*Ordinarily Pullman porters are retired at 70, but special dispensation was made by the Pullman Co. in Mr. Newsome's case because travelers so petitioned.
