REVERSED ITSELF
Socialist Convention Voted For Prohibition But It Quickly
 Changed It's Decision.

Chicago. May 1S.-The socialist national convention just before final adjournment last night committed itself to prohibition and then h. Stantly reversed it's action when the mistake was made clear to the dele gates. The day had been devoted { to committee reports and when III the evening the report of the Fin nish translator was brought on and was seen to be voluminous work a motion was made and unanimously carried that it be adopted without reading and without discussion. Comrade Victor Berger of Milwau- kee, however, remembered that the Finnish element in the party is en- thusiastic on the prohibition ques- tion and hastened to scan the re- port for objectionable recommends tions.
 The convention just had decided that it's work was finished, had given three rousing cheers for the social revolution, and was singing Mar seillaise" when the searchers' fears were confirmed.
 He sprang on top of a table and broke up the singing of the party hymn with lusty shouts.
 Comrades" he cried, what an awful mistake we have made. This is recommendation We have adopted; We therefore recom- mend that a plank prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors be inserted in the party platform Why, that is enough to wipe the party off the map"
 After a mometn's breathless si- lence the convention unanimously undid it's rash act and resumed the singing of the "Marseillaise.
 Besides tits amusing ending the most interesting feature of the closing session was . bitter yransle Dn the question of woman suffrage.
 The report of the woman's com mittee. read by Comrade Mila Tup- per Maynard of Colorado, recom- mending the appointment of com mittee of five with power to appotnt a national organization and conduct a national propaganda for woman's suffrage was finally adopted.
 A resolution was adopted recom- mending the creation of an assoeiat- ed socialistic press service to supply party papers with news of interest to socialists.

LAKEWOOD CARS STOP

Cleveland, O., May 1S.-Many acts of lawlessness were committed in con nection with the street car strike be- tween midnight and dawn / to-day. Trolley Wires were cut, crews were driven from their cars and in some instances non union men were at tackled by strike sympathzers. Trol- ley wires in Lakewood, western suburb were cut in several places with the result that the municipal traction company announced this morning that no further attempt
 would be made to operate cars in that section until the Lakewood authori- ties guaranteed protection for it's men and cars. Because of alleged dis crimination against Lakewood by the
 municipal traction company ill the matter of fare it is claimed that the authorities of the town make no effort to suppress lawless acts committed by strike sympathizers
 After conference continued almost throughout the night between union officers, headed by President Mahon of the street carmens union, and Messrs Bishop and Owen, members of the state arbitration board, it was stated unofficially that formal pro position of arbitration would probably be made to President Dupont of the traction company by the arbitration board on behalf of the men. There was marked increase in the number of cars operated by the company to- day, the five minute schedule being maintained on some of the lines. Each car carried policeman in the motorman's vestibule.

FIRE AT TRUDELL'S s.
Bremen Fought a Stubborn Blaze al
 Noon To-Day.

Fire during the noon hour badly damaged the stock of L. Trudell, the furrier, at 150 Garnd street and for time gave the Leavenworth, Scovill street and Brooklyn fremen much work. How the fire started isa mys- tery. It originated in the rear of the store and before it was discovered had good start. It was about 12:20 when Mrs Trudell, who was the only person in the store, saw smoke com ing from the rear of the store. She immediately had an alarm rung in from Box 31 at the corner of Bank and Grand streets Although the Leavenworth street followed by the Scoyill and Brooklyns were on the spot almost immediately, when they arrived the fire was burning briskly. Indeed it was so hot that the Leaven- worth street boys could not approach it from the front of the store except by crawling along the floor. The men under Captain eHitman and the Scovill street company fought it from the front. while Ed Kane's workers from Brooklyn attacked the blaze in the rear. It was rather tough work for a time and before the recall was sounded the store was bad ly gutted from fire and water. Much of the smoke went out the back doors which were broken down when the men first arrived.
 Mir Trudell, the owner of the store was in New York and this afternoon the loss could not be learned. There was a large stock of furs in the store and many of the valuable pieces were in the rear where the fire first start ed. What was not damaged bv fire must have been considerably injured by smoke and water and the loss must be heavy.
