Of the ilinetcen-year-old bride Of Dr..

great interest in the capital city OF
the state, but, like the C]uveriuS case

You'd the confines Of the Old DomlI--

Is merely suspected of causing the
death Of his young wife, although u
web Of circumstances is being woven
around him from which he may find
It difficult TO cXtvicatc himself.
This is the fourth case in less than
Z third of Il century which has caused
intense interest in Virginia. CIuvcrtus

THE RoLsHEv1KI MOVEMENT

Attention was called by the Gazette
Yesterday to the possibilities OF the
Bolsheviki propaganda, recently
launched in Russia, which, it seems,
by its champions would spread over
the world. 1t is said that Germany
greatly breads this organization, al
though the Kaiser has had much to
do in bringing it to its birth. he
and his war lords fear that the doe
trincs OF these Muscovites take root
N the Fathcrland. and that eventually
the Kaiser may, as did the Gar.
receive ticket for Salt River.
There is every reason for believing
that the Bolsheviki element is bent
upon planting this exotic in America,
and the authorities are cndeavorlng
to arrest any such movement before
il can gain strength.
Evidence has been uncovered by
Government agents indicating that
american Industrial Workers Of the
World. Russian Bolshcviki, Irish agi-
tators ard revolutionists in various
countries at war with Germany may
lie seellus 10 lay the 2ouudaton OF
an elaborate worldwide plan to over
throw existing social orders.
This is admitted by officials in
WASHINGTON IN connection with news
Of the discovery Of a quantity Of
rifles. rcvolvcrs and ammunition IN
the Rpssian frsienter Shilka. which
has just arrived at q Pacific port.
nt,nnel by mutinous Bolshcvlkl
crew. Government agents suspect
that the guns and munitions were
intended Tor the Industrial Workers
CT the World in this country.
The Shill.a incident Is only one Of
many cases leading officials to be-
licrc the connection between plotters
in several Of the allied countries may
be more tangible than Tire indefinite
ink Of moral sympathy. Certain
Irish agitato1,s and /. w. W. leaders
recently have gone from the United
States 10 Russia. after being in close
touch with each other in the United
States. AMI reports have been re-
ceived that Boisheyiki organizers
would come 10 America before long
10 spread their doctrine Of direct ac-
ton for communal organization.
Although prosecution Of ]. ". ".
leaders recently has been vigorous,
officials have evidence which they
claim shows that the menace o. this
organization, believed TO be supported
largely by German money. remains
strong. Further action against the
;.gitators is forecast. This will be
FASTENED il it be found thai; the band
Is working with Russian Bolsheviki
leaders to bring about & premature
peace in Germany's interests. or 20
