NO MIRROR GAZING WILL BE DONE THIS YEAR

Chicago, May 27.—The cider, grape juice, ginger ale and near beer beverages will flow during the G. O. P. national convention here beginning June 8, but the lid is' on hard liquor. Government prohibition agents, aided by' dry sleuths, were prepared today to censure closely what is drunk at the coming convention. Reports that bell boys have formed a trust and agreed not to sell whiskey for less than S4O a pint have come to prohibition agents and the prospect of several of them getting jobs as bell hops was considered entirely probable to prevent any smuggling of liquor into guests Soft drink “bars” are expected to do a big business. What space hasn't been grabbed by politicians for a headquarters has been taken oyer for convention week by soft drink seller and confectioners.
