"Their baby son, Anton, is the most beautiful child I have ever seen. He seems to have inherited the talents of both his parents." The divorce and marriage were kept secret, she explained because Mr. Hofmann feared an announcement might interfere with the of his daughter by the first marriage, now a sculptress and about the same age as the present Mrs.

Board Withholds Tunney-Heeney Bout Approval Motion (By The Associated Press) New York, Apr.

3 The New York state commission today unexpectedly withheld its approval for the Tunney-Heeney heavyweight championship match in spite of the fact that tle title-holder has accepted the bout with one of the commission's three leading challengers. The commission indicated its stand pat attitude was based on a technicality in not receiving direct reply from Tunney himself to a request that the champion definitely pick his next title opponent. Information relative to the matching of Tunney and Heeney for a July bout was conveyed to the boxing salons by Jess McMahon. Tex Rickard's matchmaker. but this apparently was not considered satisfactory.

The commission, however, did not fulfill its threat to declare Tun ney ineligible in this state for failure to comply strictly with its mandate. Tunney today notified the commission that Heeney had been selected as his next title opponent, within an hour after the board had failed to sanction the match because of Gene's failure to heed their request for such a statement.

coat of armor to stop a bullet left County Attorney Franz Kim near death and his erstwhile friend. Sheriff E. Long under technical arrest. Long shot Kim when the attorney took exception to a bill presented to the county commissioners by the sheriff, and, witnesses declared, appeared clad in steel armor and armed with a pistol. The argument started when a bill for $62 for bringing a prisoner here was submitted by Long.

It developed that Kim had not approved the trip, which had been authorized in his absence by an assistant. Although the commissioners allowed the claim, Kim and Long continued to argue. Finally Kim rushed from the room, shouting he "would get the difference." Kim soon re-appearcd in the door clad in armor that covered his chest and back. He carried a pistol. Karl Aycrs, real estate broker attending the session, said Long ordered the attorney to halt, and when he continued to advance, the sheriff drew his pistol and fired, apparently trying to shoot the gun from the attorney's hand.

The first bullet was wild, and the sheriff shot again-, striking Kim in the leg. Long followed with another shot and Kim fell to the floor. It was found that the bullet struck the edge of the armor, deflected and entered the attorney's abdomen. Kim was removed to a hospital at Sherman. Texas, where his condition was described as critical.

The two men had been known as close friends until recentlv. Kim having supported Long for sheriff. No formal charge was filed against Long pending developments in Kim's condition. ELECTED ST. CLAIH MAYOR Hot Fight Waged For City And Ward Offices (Sr-cial to The Times-Herald) St.

SENATE DEBATES FARM BILL Texas Democrat Champions McNary-Haugen Measure (Fy The Associated Tress) Washington, Apr.

3. Senate debate farm, relief was resumed today ith Senator Mayfield, Democrat, Texas, taking -up tha cudgels for the McNary-Haugen: bill which, in "different form, he supported in the past. "The greatest problem before the country." said Senator Mayfield in a lengthy prepared address, "is the restoration of agriculutre to a remunerative basis. It is a national problem, and remedial proposals cannot be regarded as class legislation." Asserting that a'new policy must be developed to assist farmers to enhance and stabilize prices paid for their products, Mr. Mayfield contended it was time to stop subsidizing increased production that works to the farmers disadvantage, to recast the tariff to improve the relative position of farmers and livestock producers, and to prohibit manipulation of prices cf agricultural commodities.

"If we're to have permanent farm relief," the Texas senator declared, "we can't throw farmers a sop just before election. They must be after a stable basis for a firm and lasting development of their co-operative and marketing agencies." Declaring that the McNary-Haugen bill will change the system that has proved injurious to the farmer, Senator Mayfield defended the equalization fee provision of the measure which he declared had been grossly misrepresented. President Coolidge feels that the Jones flood control bill approved by the senate and now before the house is open to criticism because the expenditures it would authorize for protecting the Mississippi river from further disasters are not specifically set forth. The bill makes it impossible, in the President's judgment, to say how much flood control will cost. He recalls that even Senator Jones, author of the bill, admitted that the final expense would be far above $700,000,000.
