I has fallen a victim to Cupid's darts
and was married here this evening to
a New York girl by the name of Frieda
Mayer, who, by arrangement, came to
California two weeks ago. Yesterday
Jeffries telephoned Eugene Van Court
to make necessary arrangements for
the marriage license and the perform
anee Of the ceremony, and at o'clock
this evening Van Court and Deputy
County Clerk Glover repaired to the
County Clerks Office, where the license
was issued. The bridal party, consist
ing Of Jeffries, Miss Mayer, Billy De-
laney and a Mrs. Alderman. repaired
to the Office Of Justice of the Peace
Mortimer Smith, on Broadway. where
the two were quickly made one.
The big fighter seemed in the best of
spirits and was striking contrast to
his petite bride, who is but five feet
two inches tall and weighs but 1872
pounds. Jeffries is over six feet tall
and weighs 230 pounds. They win pass
their honeymoon ar Harbin Springs.
Mrs. Jeffries is q striking brunette

edges TO 29 summers, and is just three
weeks younger than her big husband.
Jeffries met his bride in New York
City four years ago and saw more or
less Of her each time he visited the
metropolis. The last time he went there
he was constantly in her society, and
when he left her it was with the under
standing that she would follow him
out to California, which she did
Jeffries always had a warm spot in
his heart for Oakland. which was the
scene of his training for his first cham
pionship fight, and from which time
his star steadily arose until he
reached the zenith Of his fame. Eugene
Van Court was one of the friends he
made when training at the Reliance
Club, and to whom he appealed to see
TO the necessary arrangements for his
marriage.
Little is known here of the antece-
dents of Miss Mayer, who, it is said,
has lived all her life in New York City.

The school bond election held here
to-day resulted in a victory for those
IN favor Of the bonds and the propo-
sition to spend 100000 for the i'm
provement Of the schools Of the city
was carried by vote OF 1929 for to
C25 against. or a lirtle more than five
20 one. While the vote was light the
question was one that generally inter
ested the city and much satisfaction
is expressed tonight at the result OF
the election.
But two precincts in the city failed
TO carry the proposition. In the Per-
alta annex but eight votes were cast
and three Of these were against the
bonds and Eve for them. AS it needed
a two-thirds vote to carry the cleo
ton this district as a unit failed 10
carry the question. The other district
is the Harrison School district in
which l2s votes were cast for the
bonds and Il against. This was less
than the required two-thirds.
The question Of bonding the city for
the purpose Of building new school,
houses and generally improving the
school system Of the city is one that
the present Board Of Education has
made its special object during the
present term. superintendent Nc
Clymonds. in speaking on the subject
said tonight: I'VE are all very much

deeply interested in and worked hard

however, could not be submitted un-
der the district plan adopted by the
board and will be submitted separate
ly q little later at q bond election
called by the City Council for the gen.
eral improvement Of the city.
A unique feature of the election to-
day was the interest taken by the
school children. At every schoolhouse
where the voting was taking place
they gathered in numbers and, wear
ing red badges. formed themselves
into general electioneering commit
tees TO urge the approaching voter to
cast his ballot for the bonds. The
children OF the city have realized
probably more than any one else the
need for new buildings. The subject
Of room is one that has constantly
confronted Superintendent Nicely
monds and the Board Of Education.
Makeshift buildings have been erect
ed and Easements finished of in order
TO accommodate the pupils. Every
school is crowded and overrun and
the question of new buildings is a ne
cessity.
