London. Nov. s~-Au the morning newspapers

TROOPS ARM FOR ELECTION.
West Virginia National Guard Read,
for Riots Today,

Huntington, w. Va. Nov. 6.--Com-
panies G, H and of the West Virginia
National Guard are mobilized and un-
der arms here, awaiting orders to go to
Williamson, where rioting has already
occurred, and where serious conflicts
are expected on election day.
Democratic policemen at Williamson
and republican deputy sheriffs of Min
go county have clashed, and while no
blood has yet been shed, there is every
probability that conflict will occur,
The officials and police of Williamson
are also in trouble with the federal au-
thorities resulting from the arrest by
policemen of Deputy United States
Marshal Day, of Welch. Republicans
claim that his arrest was for political
effect, because he secured the release
of a negro arrested on suspicion of an
intent to vote illegally, while the Will
hanson officials claim that he was
guilty of a statutory offense.
Fifteen deputy marshals WENT to
Williamson yesterday in charge of Ma
jor w. H. Lyons and arrested Mayor
Pinson, Chief of Police Chaffin and
other officials and citizens of William
son, charged with interference with a
federal officer. Feeling on both sides
in the election today is intense and
trouble can hardly be averted.

our chances of the upstate are very
bright There Is only one possible
danger. that is, an attempt may be
made to count us out of the upstate
as they counted us out in this city last
fall. / urge you to take extraordinary
precaution to prevent repeating ana
particularly miscourting." The dis
patches from cities and towns OF the
upstate indicate a large vote will be
polled.

With Few Exceptions the Conditions
Are Ideal.
Chicago, Nov. 6.-Except in Wiscon-
sin, northern Ohio, portions Of Minne-
sofa and South Dakota, and soma
southern states, where fog or slight
rain nrevailed, ideal election weather is
reported in todays early dispatches to
the Associated Press. A heavy initial
vote was polled generally, the only
exceptions being in those states or sec
ttons where the campaign has been
apathetic and where but little interest
was aroused in the contests. In this
city it was declared at o'clock that
in many wards two-ttirds of the reg
istered vote had been cast, altho the
large sized ballot and much scratching
made voting slow. Some voters were
in the booths thirty minutes marking
their ballots. At Bloomington the
early vote was stimulated by the pres
ence in the field Of boiling republican
candidates for sheriff and superintend-
ent of schools.
The bitter congressional fight at
Peoria, augurs the heaviest poll for.
many years. The opposition to Speaker
Cannon in the Danville district was
not productive of much enthusiasm and
only a moderate vote is being cast.

WOMAN CONVICTED AS SPY.
Paris Suspects Foreign Power Has
Espionage System.

Paris, Nov. 6.-Two recent cases of
espionage have attracted more or less
attention here. A woman of Toulon,
suspected Of being spy in the en-
ploy Of a foreign power, was convicted
last week on the testimony of sailor.
who swore she had tried to bribe him
to steal the plans Of certain fortifi-
cations and submarine vessels.
The other case is that of CASTOR
Maitrugue, an artillery reservist, who
was arrested at Meaux for trifing
offense. When searched the firing in
structions for The French army and
tracings of drawings of the mechan-
ism of siege, field and other guns were
found in his possession. Maitrugue
claims that he is simply interested in
the question of armaments generally.
but appearances are against him. His
case is still pending, as, generally
speaking, cases of espionage are not
much more numerous today than US
ual.
