day. on a summons for wooing his
own wife. Winona Shannon wolff.
former actress and a sister Of Effie
Shannon.
On the stand she testified that
after separation Of five months
he was continually annoying her
with his efforts at a reconciliati tion.
She said he has been writing three
letters a day and trying to COM
municate with her by telephone and
by messenger service, besides send
ing her candy. flowers and books.
Contrary TO the advice OF his
counsel, Wolf insisted on telling
his side OF the story. His defense
was that IL he was too ardent and
annoyed his wife. II was because
he was anxious TO win back her af-
fections
ITO me my wife is the loveliest
creature In the world and I am go
ing TO win her back in spite OF
everything he exclaimed. His wife
interrupted him: Never; never;
never" she said.
Judge, she does not mean that,
Wolff said. She Is only acting.
That Is her business. She says

more.

 AND SIGNS S|x
Governor Kills Acts Amending Election Law, Lengthening Office Hours
 and Changing Solons' Qualifications '. ;iM

Because he believed it would in- crease the expense of elections, and tend to make less public the count ing of votes, Gov. Hunt yesterday placed his veto on Senate Bill No. 1OS, providing for two extra judges and two extra clerks in every vOt- ing precinct having over, 200 names on the list. Other bills that met with the executives disapproval were Senate Bill IF, providing that all ctate offices shall be kept open con- tinuously from a. m. to D. m. and House Bill 69, repeating several sections relating to the qualifications of legislators.
 In vetoing the moon hour'' bill. the governor stated that the hours for state offices were already cov- that the requirement that the offices should be open continuously, includ- ing the hour from F to 1 and tha; it would seriously embarass those officials who had but one deputy clerk; and that the bill was special legislation, in that it exempted the governors office from the require ments. State officials and attaches were jubilant yesterday over the governors veto of the bill
 Disappearing of House Bill 69, the governor expressed the belief tha, the effect of the measure would be to repeal existing provisions exclud- ing members of the state legislature from appointment of officers other than elective positions, and would SC amend the law as to permit the holding of two salaried positions a, enc time.
 The governor signed six bills, tws of which. House Bill 90 and Senate Bill 47. reached him four days af. ter the legislature adjourned. Under an opinion from the attorney general i the governor could accept. or refuse the bills at his option. The meas ures approved are as follow:
 House Bill 90, providing for the creation of electrical districts ! in the various counties of the state; Senate Bill 52, amending the registration law; Senate Bill A.. providing fol the docketing of judgments in the courts of other countless. House Bil 1l4, requiring fire insuronce com. panies to report all premiums ir cites Of 5000 or over, and providing that 30 Der. cent of the tax go to tho governing bodies of such cities ant Tor the relief of disabled firemen nf.a

by farms that flourish in that
state. Certain institutions take

80 to 80 percent Of these children
die and are buried in, heaps in
