CHICAGO SALOONS CLOSE SUNDAY
 FIRST TIME

CHICAGO, Oct. 12-All the saloons in this city were closed Sunday for the first time, and the police report that thre was less crime and fewer arrests than on any day ever recorded in the annals of the police department. The advocates of the Sunday closing are jubilant over the good effects of the innovation, and are predicting it will be a big influence in the prohibition campaign to be inaugurated to abolish the liquor traffic from the state. The liquor interests are preparing their petition to the governor asking that a special session of the legislature be called to pass a law allowing liquor to be sold in the large cities of the state on Sunday.

NORWAY WOMEN
 VOTE WITH SOCIALISTS ,

CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 12-At the gen. era1 elections held throughout Norway vesterda women voted for the first time :n the history -f the couuCry. That the women appreciated the suf- frage and intended to use 1t was evil denced by the fact that nearly all of them exercised the privilege. While returns are not yet available it is ad- mitted that the voting by the women will result in large socialist gains throughout the nation, and the repre- sentation of that faction in the parli- ament will be greatly increased. The socialists have made an active cam paign, taking an advanced position on the great questions which have been agitating the country. Their platform urgently proclaims against militarism, and in favor of prohibition, and these two blanks are meeting with great fa- vor. The government party has pledged itself to gradual suspension of the liquor traffic, which will in time amount to prohibition, but the Social ists have declared in favor of abolish ing traffic at once.
