former resident of Richmond, is in

since he left for the West, twenty
years ago.
Tobey has had very active part in
the governments campaign against
the l. w W. agitators. OF the seven
l. W. W. leaders arrested in the dis
trict Tobey says four were taken in
to custody by him. Last week he
brought these seven men to Chicago.
where they will stand trial.
Says Plot Nears Finish.
In Tobey's opinion the l. W. w.
conspiracy has almost been extermin-
ated Headquarters. of this organiza.
ton in various parts of the country
were raided simultaneously and a
large amount of valuable data was
seized, the information secured by
these raids being the basis "of the
wholesale indictments recently re-
turned by the federal grand jury at
Chicago against l. w. W. leaders.
Tn our district fifteen leaders of
this organization were indicted. Eight
escaped, fleeing into Canada, Alaska
and Mexico. We are after them day
and night and I believe the organiza-
tion has almost been broken up
Tobey said.
Tobey is the son of former pastor
of Grace NJ. e. church, this city. His
father at one time was superintend-
ent of the Richmond district of the
M. e. church. His mother resides

NEW YORK, Nov 3.-The war and
American loyalty are chief issues in
the mayoralty campaign in this city,
where more than half the population is
of foreign birth. The result of the ap-
preaching election will tell better than
anything else how New York city
stands in the matter Of loyalty at this
critical time in the nations history
Mayor Mitchell, who is seeking re-
election, has been firm in his support
Of the government throughout the war
and has done much to suppress pro-
German activities here where German
intrigue is rife. He will have the votes
of those who are loyalty American. In
the last days of his campaign Mitchell
is demanding straightforward state
ments from his opponents on the loyal
ty issue.
Hylan, the Hearst-Tammany Demo
crat, and Bennett, the Republican can
didate, have accused Mitchell of play
ing up the flag in an effort to distract
attention from his alleged mistakes.
Mitchell has talked many times at
length on the accusations and has ask
ed Hylan to debate the points with
him, but the invitation to debate has
been ignored
So important has the loyalty issue
become in the campaign that the race
has come to be regarded by many as
completely between Mitchell and Hill
quit, the Socialist candidate. Hillquit
has been able to gather all the paci.

Judge John F. Hylan.

fists and pro-Germans in his support
and he seems to have taken more
votes from Hylan than from Mitchell
or Bennett. Hillquit is easily the fav-
orite all through the east side where
the foreign population is determined
that the war is kings war and not a
war for the people.
The loyalty and disloyalty phases of
the campaign are so thoroughly repre-
sented in Mitchell and Hilliquit that
Hylan and Bennett have had little to
say on the question and have prefer
red to keep quiet. There has been ap-
parent in the campaigning of both of
the latter, however, care not to Of
fend the pro-Germans.
Roosevelt, Hughes and Elihu Root
all Republicans, are urging the re-elec-
ton of the Democrat Mitchell and have
emphasized the importance Of electing
q mayor who can guard the nation's
security and honor at her doorway.
"If we permit Mayor Mitchell to be
turned out of office Mr.. Root says,
"a great lieutenant of the national gov.
ernment will be lost; the enemies OF
our country will rejoice as for vic
tory over loyal Americanism; Ger.
many will be encouraged and strength
ened in her warfare, and many of the
young men whom we are sending
across the Atlantic to fight for US will
pay with their lives for that encourage
ment to our enemy. Every disloyal
man in New York is against him.

(By Associateo Press)

Italy's situation appears increasing
ly grave today in the announcement
from Rome that the Tagliamento riv-
er west of which General Cadorna has
established his new line after the
great retreat from the Isonzo, had
been crossed by the Austro-German in
vaders.
The crossing of the river apparently
has not yet been in sufficient force to
compel Cadorna to decide upon aban-
donment of the Tagliamento line, but
the Teutonic commander undoubtedly
will make the most of the opening he
has forced to debouch against the
Italian positions north and south of
the point where he has gained foot
ing on the west bank of the stream.
That this process is already under
way is indicated by the fact that
Rome tells of increasing Austro-Ger-
man pressure against the Italian left
wing where the crossing was effected.
River Gets Narrow.
The spot selected by the enemy for
the successful attempt-near PinZano,
about 40 miles from the mouth of the
river and about II miles northwest OF
Udine-was at point where the
marshy ground encountered further to
the south begins to disappear, the
banks rising perceptibly and the river
narrowing down.
If General Cadorna decides to aban-
don fhe Tagliamento line at which IL
is by no means certain that he intend

Surface Indications On Eve
of Voting All Point To-
ward Victory For Repub-
lican Nominee.
BAVIs MAY Be THIRD

One of the most bitterly con-
tested municipal campaigns in
the history of Richmond, will be
brought to an end Monday night,
and Tuesday between $500 and
5000 voters will go to the polls
to elect mayor, clerk, four
councilmen-at-large and ward
councilmen from each OF the
eight wards of the city.
Predictions as to the outcome,
based on the claims of the men
active in the management of the
campaigns for the several can
didates, cannot be considered,
for Democratic, Republican and
Citizens ticket campaign man.
ayers all assert, apparently with
equal confidence, that their
candidates for mayor together
with practically all of their tick
ct, will be elected.
Zimmerman Is Tipped.
Casting aside all of these party pre-
dictions, and basing a forecast entire
ly on surface conditions in each ward
of the city, there was today every in
dication that Dr. W. W. Zimmerman,
Republican candidate, will be elected
mayor and that the positions of AL
fred Bavis, Citizens candidate and
Henry Farwig. the Democratic nomi-
nee are uncertain, with the advantage
in favor OF Farwig for second place,
This condition, it is pointed out, is
due to the fact that the Democrats
have regained support that few days
ago was being counted on for Bavis.
That there was a drift toward Farwig
manifested several days ago was gen.
orally known among the party organi-
cations, and that it has had the result
of Strengthening Zimmerman and
weakening Bavis is conceded.
Saturday afternoon and night and
again today the field workers of all
parties were actively engaged in
getting information" as to the prob
able outcome Tuesday. Republican
leaders were asserting that not only
the poll taken ten days ago, but sur
face conditions since, all point to
Bavis being third in the race.
Won by Clean Tactics.
Either way you care to figure it, :
said a Republican today, Zimmerman
is first, and of course it does not mat
ter materially the relative positions OF
Farwig and Bavis The fight foI
Zimmerman has been won by absolute
ly clean tactics, without resorting to
sensational newspaper advertising, the
very thing that the Bavis supporters
made use of and in which they en-
deavored to drag the Republicans"
One of the most effective weapons
again Bavis has been his own claims
for election. according to a Republi
can. who declared today that in all o.
Bavis' newspaper articles he had fail
ed to give single bit of credit for the
administration of city affairs during
the last four years to Mayor Robbins
who appointed Bavis to his position
or to any member of the board Of
works, excepting himself; to the city
controller; city attorney; city, clerk;
fire department; police department ol
council. That there has been real re
sentiment on the part of friends of of
ficers in the present administration

such as Geiger's and Barton's COM

At this moment David heard some
one calling to his captain. He strained
his eyes through the mist, and as the
man ran up to Hargrove, David rec
ognized him as George Croghan. Cap
