CUBANS DISCUSS DIVORCE.

Havana, July 27-Among important pieces of legislation now engaging the attention of the Cuban congress are bills legalizing divorce and giving to married women the control of their own property. It appears question: able whether there is any very strong demand for the passage of the former law and it is said that many of the best Cuban women are opposed to the institution Of divorce as being con- trary to the tenets of their religion and repugnant to the traditions of Cuban society. The other bill has strong feminine support but it is felt that, owing to absorption of interest in the coming presidential campaign, neither measure has much chance of passage during the present session of congress-.

FOX'S PACKED FOR
 "GLORIA'S ROMANCE"

The Fox theater was taxed to capac- performances yesterday. The attrac- tion was Fox's million dollar show. It would be hard matter to pick out the leading attraction of this big pro- gram as every feature on the bill was applauded when it appeared on the l screen and each seemed to have it's especial supporters. It seemed, how ever, that dainty Billie Burke, star of l the new serial story, "Gloria's Ro- mance", received the lion share. This l feature bids fair to outdo in popular lty any of the previous continued !! screen stories. It is a high class mo- ton picture drama, and the stage set tlngs, supporting cast, etc., rival those of the greatest of feature pro- ductiCns. The story itself deals with the adventures of Gloria Stafford (Bil- lie Burke) Q rich New York bankers daughter. The story opens at Palm Beach, Florida, and later scenes are laid in homes of the wealthy along
 Riverside Drive, New York city. Miss l as well as some bOyish ones. The f.

 mystery. The Fox feature "The Beast is one Of the best that has been produced by the Western company of
 this concern in some time. George
 Walsh, as the bad man, and Anna
 Luther as the eastern society girl have
 finished exhibitions in their respec-
 tive parts and the supporting cast was
 exceptionally well chosen. The Pathe
 News, with some good views of the
 boys at the front and a side-splitting
 comedy, featuring George Ovey, "Jerry
 Mixes It., filled out the balance of the
 bill. As several hundred people were
 turned away both afternoon and eve-
 ming the management would suggest
 the patrons come as early as possible
 to be sure of securing seats. The Iron Claw and "GIoria's Romance" will be shown twice in the afternoon and twice in the evening.

EXCELLENT BILL AT
 KEENEYS THEATER

Once again today '"The Mysteries of Myra' is the feature attraction al Keeney's. This serial is making de- cided hit in New Britain and crowds are always on hand to greet every epi- sode of the $2,00O,oo0 film. Howard Esterbrook and Jean Southern do the honors and every time they are flashed on the screen the Keeneys patrons burst into laundering applause.
 Cecile Eldrid and Carr have been gaining in popularity each time they cavort. Charlie Chaplin is imperson- ated to perfection and his funny an- tics with Carr's novelty instruments are rich with humor. Even the most critical students of Charlie are mom- entarily deceived by MT. Eldrid when he first appears.
 Louis Sonetti sings selections from modern opera to perfection. Many of the difficult passages of such operas as Faust and Robin Hood are taken care of in a masterly way.
 Balancing off the bill is the sleight of hand offering of Levina and Ma thews. the master magiclans. Many new tricks are introduced which are appreciated by all that have the pleas ure of seeing them.

TURKISH REPORT DENIED.

London, July 27, 12:35 p. m.-A British statement was issued today denying the Turkish official report of July 26 that British cavalry forces in the vicinity of the Suez Canal had been dispersed. The statement fol- lows:
 The commander-in-c chief in Egypt reports, Tt is stated by the German wireless that our cavalry had been driven back at Romani and Katia. Our cavalry is in occupation of Katia and nowhere has been driven back, Com- plete superiority over the enemy has been established by it both in pushing in reconnaissances and driving in his covering parties at will,
 " The enemy has not even ventured to press any reconnaissance in our d1- rection. The Turkish force at Oghra- tina dare not advance from that place and no Turk has been near Romani.' v

FORGER PAROLED IN
 OSBORNE'S CUSTODY
Former Welfare Leaguer Given
 Another Chance to Reform
.7.z''''. C

Baltimore, Md, July 27.-Samuel L. Richards, who aided Thomas Mott Osborne in establishing the Mutual Welfare League In Auburn Prison and who was considered a shining ex- ample of prison reform methods, pleaded guilty yesterday to forging Warden Osborne's name to a check, Upon the earnest plea or MT. Osborne, in person. and that of Leigh Bonsal, of this city, who indorsed the check upon which Richards obtained $2,- 900, he was paroled in the warden's s custody by Judge Gorter.
 Richards, who said he had served several sentences amounting to fifteen years in prisons for forging checks upon which he obtained a total of $150, pleaded that drink was his undoing, but that now he believed that he could abstain.
 When it was discovered that Rich ards had forged the check here MT. Osborne sent out a dozen members of the Mutual Welfare League who had been discharged from prison to find him, and two found him at a race v.
 MT. Osborne said Richards had been doing very valuable work for him in prison reform work and in aiding men after they leave prison. He said he felt certain Richards would not slip" again and offered to be personally responsible for his good conduct.
 In paroling Richards Judge Gorter said to him:
 You stand as a representative of the system of prison reform which MT. Osborne is attempting to intro duce at Sing Sing. Many people honestly believe he is wrong I'm not one of them. believe he is right.
 "You are in a position where every one Is looking at you. You probably can do more good and more harm to MT. Osborne and the prison reform than any one else in this country at the present time. You will be watched. and if you again offend against the law you not only will strike him. but you will affect others who have been circumstanced as you have been. MT. Osborne has faith in you. To express my confidence in him and what he has done for people like you I parole you in his care.' ..-..s-.

Her Friends CD Advice.

A letter friend is in a queer quand- ary. She is the mother of two boys whom she has tried to bring up to tho best of her ability. Some friends CD have offered this startling criticism that playing with the boys as we do and all mingling together, we will lose our influence over them."
 Can you equal it?
 Who has more influence over the boy who spends his time away from home-his boy companions or his par ents? We all know the answer to that, and sad answer it often Is. Who Has the Most Influence With a
 Boy?
 Who, then, is going to have the greatest influence With these boys Their companions, of course, who are in this case those who love them best But l didn't take up the subject to prove a point which is practically an axiom (nterfering friends to the con- trary). I've just mentioned it as an introduction to the picture of her home life which my letter friend has given me.
 Here it is:
 T have two boys, twelve and four teen years of age. They are great home-loving boys. The oldest one is a great reader. We have always tried to give him the best of books; his father reads the same books and mag azines he reads, to try to keep up with his reading.
 The Kind of Home Other Children
 Come To.
 Nearly every day some of his boy companions come home from school with him; they take the afternoon UT

II lSdulllS.
 The other one also brings his com anions home with him; they indulge games such as rock, checkers and many other house games. They play the piano. cornet, violin and bugle; both being scout boys, of course they love a bugle.
 We have always tried as best we could to make their home as pleas ant as possible, although we only have little bungalow.
 Clean Rugs Versus Clean Hearts.
 Their father and I have always been more companions than parents. It is not that we forbid them to run the streets, but they stay in because they say we have betters time at home. People sometimes ask why l allow the boys to bring their company home in all kinds of weather in mud and snow. Well. they are always happy to be here, and I say to myself that with a little trouble I can clean the drug gets, and I know where the boys are and that they are happy, which makes me happy.
 After the boys leave, my boys are looking forward to the night coming of their father and after supper they all play rock until about ten o'clock"
 Then follows the question l quoted.
 She signs her appeal, An anxious mother" I don't think she needs to be- On the contrary I think she might have written her experience for the benefit of other mothers and (with the one afternoon that the boys ought to have a little more fresh air and go to bed a little earlier), she might have called it "The Experience of a Per fectly Successful Mother"
