In an effort to see the moving
picture production at the New theatre

Western Police station and requested
that squad of bluecoats be hurried
to the scene They soon arrived and
the exodus of the boys was begun.
After a short time spent in rounding
them up and after many arguments
they were all finally elected from the
theatre. They then went to the box

Houston, Texas, Sept. 27.-This

There's Babe Ruth and his home
runs; Ohio and its Presidential can

Judge j. D. Harvey returned
from his vacation to find 1888
new dlvol2e complaints filed.
The first day he settled 241 Of
them in four hours.
"I'm kinda out Of the swing CT

my life to the securing Of proper laws
in this state which will make divorce
crowds like this impossible.
Harvey announced he is now work
ing on a bill which he hopes to fight
through the early legislature, design
ed to block hasty marriages.
Half the divorces are caused by
the secrecy of the marriage laws. A
boy and girl get a case Of puppy
love. They sneak off and are mar
ried, It is kept a secret for many
months. Then somebody finds it
out and the young couple attempt to
set up housekeeping. The husband is
unable to provide. In month or two
there is disagreement. Then IL is

Under Havey's bill a 30-day notice
Of intention TO wed will be necessary.
This notice must be recorded in the
