FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Chicago, May 1S-The Socialist ma
tional convention before final adjourn
ment last night, committed itself to
prohibition and then instantly re-
versed its action when the mistake
was made clear to the delegates. The
day had been devoted to committee
reports and when, in the evening the
report of the Finnish translator was
brought on and was seen to De a
voluminous work, a motion was maze
and unanimously carried that 1t De
adopted without reading and without
discussion. 49,
Comrade Victor Berger of MilWau-
kee, however, remembered that the
Finnish element in the party, is en-
thusiastic on the prohibition question
and fastened to scan the report for
Objectionable recommendations.
The convention just had decided that
its work had been finished, had given
three rousing cheers for the soclal
revolution and was singing tne
"Marseillaise," when the sedrchei
fears were confirmed.
He sprang on top of a table ano
broke up the singing or the party
hymn with lusty shouts.

ful mistake we nave Iis1uS- ~
recommendation we have adopted; we
therefore recommend that a plank pro-
hibiting 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 moments breathless silence
the convention unanimously undid Its
rash act and resumed the singing OF
the "Marseillaise.

DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.
James w. Christman. Farmer Living
near MenOken, a Suicide.

James w. Christman, a prosperous
farmer living seven miles west of here
on the lower Silver Lake road, commit
ted suicide this morning by carbolic
acid poisoning. Christman arose early
this morning and went out into the
woodshed. Later his sons found him
there lying on the ground with an
empty bottle of carbolic acid beside
him. He was dead when discovered
The testimony of the family and neigh
bors was to the effect that Christman
had been melancholy ever since the
death of his wife about a year ago.
While he worried a great deal over that
affliction, yet it was not anticipated
that his grief would lead him to the
rash act of taking his own life. The
community was shocked at the tragedy
Coroner H. H. Keith did not think, I'M
der the circumstances, that an inquest
was necessary.

Mrs. Allen who has just returned
from a visit of two weeks to La Porte,
gives the first intimation of the cause
of the strange actions of the brother
coming to La Porte, and seeking the
grave by himself and pointing to the
spot where later the predictions he
made concerning his brothers muir

Not until few days previous to
my leaving La Porte, and then talk

Helgelein give his reason" said Mrs
Allen last evening When he be-
came worried eabout his brother he
consulted clairvoyant. She told
him the details of the murder and
just where his brothers body was
buried, he said. He followed her
instructions implicitly and came on to
La Porte. He walked to the grave
and there pointed to it as the grave

La Porte, Ind, May 18.-Early this
morning Sheriff Shutter and Louis
Schultz, the expert miner, resumed
sluicing at the Guinness farm. The

that remained Of the mining work
was to run the ashes through the
sluice boxes and thus pick out what
ever gold might be found. Miner
Schultz is positive that he will find
the teeth of the woman if they are
in the ruins. Sheriff Shutter expects
that the sluicing will take about two
days. Following the completion of
that work he will undertake to turn
over to a depth of three feet the sur
face of the enclosure which Mrs.
Guinness used as her private burial
ground and in which already 10 per-
sons have been dug up. The authori-
ties believe that more skeletons lie
buried there and in order to make the
work complete, it has been decided
to dig over the entire lot at one
operation.
At the same time Sheriff Shutter
announced today he will start the

of the private cemetery

from the state of Delaware are placed
in the uninstructed column, which is
literally true. Delaware however has

has been seen by Senator Dupont.
There are many other similar cases,
many of the uninstructed delegates
having expressed openly their DISPOSE
