By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 19.—A new angle to the sudden postponement of the marriage of Miss Charlotte Simms, Dayton soclety girl, to Ken- von Anthony Stoddard, set for today, has come to light with the informa- tion that a marriage license was issued to the two at Newport, Ky., last October 24. The Herald and Examiner, quoting dispatches from Cincinnati, which is across the river from Newport, sald they were married In the Kentucky town the same day by Magistrate Thomas Hanly. “This report of a secret marriage is certainly startling,” said Ferdinand W. Peck, jr., uncie of Miss Simms. “Knowing Charlotte as I do, it seems incredible to me that she would go through such a ceremony without consulting or confiding in her mother.” En Route to Florida. Miss Simms and her mother are en route to Florida, while Stoddard, who was served earlier in the week with a divorce action summons in the pres- ence of his flancee's father, has de- parted from Dayton for Philadelphia, with the announced intention of spik- ing reports of his marriage to another bride there in 1922, The divorce suit was brought by Edith Widing of Portland, Me., who, according to the service papers, stated she married him in April, 1922, when he used the name of Herman Al- brecht Yaffee. Dispatches from Port- land said no such divorce action was on record there. Mr. Peck said he knew Stoddard had at one time used an assumed name. Told of Past. “He told my niece all about this phase of his career before he proposed marriage to her. He also admitted knowing a woman by the name of Widing 10 years ago, but he did not say he had married her."” When announcements were printed In Chicago newspapers recently of the impending marriage of Stoddard and Miss Simms, Stoddard was described as “the onl iving son of the Count- ess Alene Byron Harrington and Hunt- ley Stoddard of London.” The marriage license records at Newport gave Stoddard’s birthplace as Knoxville, Tenn., according to the Herald and Examiner's story. He said he was an artist, 28, living at Dayton. her birth- icago and her residence as FINE FOLLOWS FLOGGING. Virginian Assessed $10 in Case Al- leged to Involve Wife. Special Dispatch to The Star.

H. McClenon, assistant chief of the legislative reference serv- ice of the Library of Congress. Up to January 31, 636 bills and joint resolutions had been passed. The rec- ord of those passed since that dntg had not been made up.
