SOCIALISTS
 GUT TARIFF .. OUT AS ISSUE

Indianapolis, May e17-Direct action. other than political, was specifically repudiated by the Socialist National convention at tits session today. It also went on record as favoring the expulsion of all Socialists who may advocate violence in any way in order to aid labor in the class struggles.
 Tn party. constitution was amended by the adoption of the following clause:
 Any member of the party who op- poses political action Or advocates crime against the person or other methods of violence as a weapon of the working class, to aid in it's eman- c1patiOn; shall be expelled from mem bership in the party. Political action shall be construed to mean participa- tion in elections for public offices and practical legislative and administra- tive work along the lines of the So- cIalist party platform"
 Today all interest centered in the party nominations to be made this af- ternoon. Eugene V. Debs, who has three times headed the ticket, seemed to be the unanimous choice of the ma jority. The question of a suitable running mate was still at issue. The rank and file and many of the leaders want Charles Edward Russell, of New York. Should Russell not accept, Wheeler of California, Seidel of Wis consfn and score of others will be named and there will be free for all scramble for the nomination.
 The report of the constitutional committee provided for a change in the election of the national executive committee so that it would be named by, national committee of State sec retaries and one member from each State for each three thousand of mem bership of the party organization. E Opponents ofc the tariff as an issue were jubilant in the convention today, because last night by an overwhe1m- ing vote, they eliminated all mention of the great 'sbugaboo'' of the two big parties as a Socialist issue. !"

Life i'm Mason CITY.

Mason City, Feb. 4-On complaint
OF her own son, the police last night
visited the Drummond street resi-
denec of Kate Parker, a we'll known
character, and found her in company
with Clarence Wilkinson, negro
employed at local fruit store. Will
kinson was arrested and brought
down to Jail, and the Parker woman
was arrested this morning, informa-
ton against both having been filed
with Justice Wiley S. Rankin by the
son.
lntoxication was the charge upon
which they were tried. The negro's
employers furnished him funds with
which to employ a lawyer, but the
states case was so convincing that
Justice Rankin found them both
guilty. Fines of $12 and costs were
imposed.
The negro, Wilkinson, paid his
fine, or rather found a white man
who paid it for him, and was releas-
ed. Mrs. Parker was unable to liqui-
date her assessment and went to
Jail.
