Stern measures
against f/nland
BY GOVERNMENT
Province Placed Under the
Jurisdiction of Northern
Pront—Evan More Severe
Against Ukrainia.
Petrograd, Nov. i .— The provisional
government took sternly repressive
measure* against two recalcitrant Rus
sian provinces today. Finland was an
nounced a* having been put under
Jurisdiction of the northern front be
cause of refusal of authorities there to
eo-operate in evacuation of certain
points.
Ukralnla was lilt harder. The gov
ernment decided to cut off all money
from the central government hereto
fore given the province for administra
tion because of the growth of a move
ment there for autonomy. More vigor
ous measures, It was stated, are In
view.
Presumably the transfer of Finland
to "Jurisdiction of the northern front,"
means a sort of martial law has been
proclaimed there. The "evacuation"
mentioned probably refers to Helsing
fors, where dispatches a week ago re
ported a olvll evacuation ordered, pre
sumably due to the menace of an at
tack by the German Baltic sea fleet.

AMERICANISM THE
CAMPAIGN ISSUE
IN NEW YORK CITY
Concerted Drive Against
Socialist Candidate, Who
Claims Victory in Tues
day's Election.
New York, Nov. 1.—Republican,
Democratic and Fusion managers in
New York's hottest mayoralty cam
paign in recent years awoke suddenly
today to the import of Socialist
claims of electing the mayor of the
nation's blggcBt city. The result was
a concerted drive by all three parties
against Morris HUlquist, the Socialist
candidate who is making the most
strenuous campaign any member of
his party has ever waged In New York.
The Socialist claims and aspirations
aie based primarily on the division
created in the ordinary voting strength
of the old parties. Mayor John Pur
roy Mitchel, a Democrat, running on a
fusion platform, lost the Republican
nomination on which he won at the
last election. William Bennett, a Re
publican got It. He could not be in
duced to withdraw and has gone into
the race with the support of a num
ber of the old conserve Republicans.
Mitchel's name will go on the ballot
by Independent petition. The mayor
Is supported by most of the Republi
can city organization and many of the
anti-Tammany Democratic ones.
TO KNIFE TAMMANY.
John F. Hylan, almost unknown In
city politics, won the Democratic nom
ination with Tammany's backing. Be
cause he was so utterly unknown many
Tammanyites, including the strong
Sullivan clan, will knife him to vote
for Mitchel. The Democratic vote is
badly split on Hylan as the
Republican vote is on Mitchel.
Hillqult is rousing the east side to
tremendous meetings by peoples gov
ernment pledges. He has garnered
some support from former Democrats
and Republicans—notably Dudley
Field Malone, former collector of the
port and one of the "original Wilson
men,'' and Amos R. Pinchot, reformer
ard ex-Bull Moose.
AMERICANISM THE ISSUE.
The drive on Jlillquit centered to
day on attacks by all other candi
dates on the Socialist candidates—An
ti-Americanism. Hillqult demands an
immediate peace of all belligerents—
exactly what Germany wants.
He refused to purchase liberty
bonds. He was one of the three So
cialist delegates to whom the govern
ment refused permission to attend the
j Gorman-inspired Stockholm "peace
conference." As such he came In for
powerful denunciation from Charles
Kdward Russell, William English
Walling and others of the "American
branch" of Socialists^ being branded
an as30Clate ot y iatftr Berger, in pro
j (j erman Socialist. Hillqult was born
K R , ga RusBla , and beC ause of this
__________
j suppressing some publications and lr
ritatlon among some classes against
commands a tremendous vote among
New York's great Jewish population.
Mayor Mitchel continued his cam
paign today against Hylan's alleged
close association with German propa
ganda movements.
GOVERNMENT TAKES
LIVELY INTEREST IN
THE CITY ELECTIONS
Washington, Nov. L—For the first
time In history mayoralty elections In
different big cities ere demanding the
attention of the government.
fn New York where Morris Hillqult,
Socialist candidate on an out and out
anti-war ticket, Is running with such
alarming speed as to cause a con
certed attack .by opposition forces to
beat him with a pro-Amerlcaa plat
form, the administration Is particu
larly concerned.
In Cleveland the candidacy of C. E.
Ruthenburg, accused as a draft ob
structor, Is unique In the records of
mayoralty contests. He Is running on
a Socialist anti-war ticket.
Toledo's campaign for mayor Is rag
ing around Robert T. Haworth. So
cialist anti-war candidate, against
whom all other parties have united
their forces on -an "America first"
platform. Administration leaders are
expecting some possible surprises In
the strength shown fcy these candi
dates. In New Y'ork particularly there
is growing uneasiness that Hillqult,
with the tremendous support of tho
east side, together with aid of some
Importance from other parties, may
possibly win with three candidates op
posing him.
MANY LOCAL I88UE8.
In all these cities, administration
leaders declare, the vote for the So
callst may not be necessarily an anti
war vote. It Is pointed out that many
local issues and personalities will turn
thousands of votes to them. The ac
tion of the postoffice department in
j what they believe Is an effort by the
government to curtail free speech, Is
sending thousands of other party "rad
icals" Into the Socialist camps.
Whether there Is a nation-wide
movement to turn the results of the
elections in these cities Into propa
ganda against the war Is being
watched by the government.

Agreement Between Un

Strike Goes Into Effect at
Portland, Seattle, Spo

Smaller Cities of the In
terior Section.
San Francisco, Nov. 1.—Despite the
agreement reached by Federal Media
tor Verner Z. Reed and officials of the
Electrical Workers' union that the
proposed coastwise strike ofielectrlcal
workers would be deferred, the strike
against the Pacific Telephone & Tel
egraph company went Into effect early
today In Seattle, Portland, Spokane,
Walla Walla, Tacoma and other north
western cities.
Reports early today Indicated that
telephone service In these cities had
not been affected seriously. Dis
patches from the northwest stated that
leaders of union locals In Washington
and Oregon officials ordered the strike
to proceed, regardless of the agreement
to defer It reached In this city, because
they considered the telegram of In
structions from the International offi
cers here as not sufficiently clear.
OPERATQPS WALK OUT.
At Seattle 600 telephone operators ^
were declared to have struck, while at i
Tacoma and Portland a large number
are said to have quit.
The Instructions to defer the strike
were sent out by International Vice j
President L. C. Grasser after he and
officers of the district council of the
union had conferred with Mediator
Reed. The union men accepted Reed's
request for such action, but stipulated
that such action did not annul the
strike vote.
Before word came that the north
western unions had struck In spite of
the agreement with Reed, Grasser
said:
"I do not believe the Seattle work
ers and operators will strike. If they
do, they will strike without the sanc
tion of their union."
Mediator Reed held a series of con
ference-. today with representatives of
the electrical workers and telephone
company officials In an effort to reach
a basis of settlement.
MINISTER "FORCED
TO SALUTE THE FLAG
Carini, 111., Nov. 1.—Samuel Seibert,
pastor of the Fhurch of the Apostles,
a Holy Roller sect, near here, haa,

having been beaten by a carpenter for
telling his congregation that "any man
who fights In the present war is not a
Christian," he was compelled to with
draw his statement, doff his hat and
salute Old Glory.
NEW WITNESSES IN
THE MINOTTO CASE
Chicago, Nov. IN—The next hearing
in the investigation of Count James
Minotto, suspected of pro-German ac

States immigration authorities next
Wednesday, it was announced today.
C. H. Paul, head of the Immigra
tion bureau here, said that several new
witnesses would be introduced. He
said that the testimony of Mrs. Chaun
eey Eldridge, of New York, wife of a
wireless expert, had been completed.
Henry Veeder, attorney for the count
and his father-in-law, Louis F. Swift,
millionaire Chicago packer, declared
that Minotto's alleged interest in wire
less resulted from a desire to be polite
to Mrs. Eldridge and her husband,
whom he met In Argentina.

REICHSTAG OPPOSING
Will OF THE EMPEROR
FIRST TINE IN HISTORY
Amsterdam, Nov. 1.—If Count von
Hertllng withholds his acceptance of j
the German chancellorship because he
cannot obtain a full majority In the I
relchstag, the German parliamentary
reformers have achieved an epochal
victory.
Berlin dispatches today reported this
reason for Herllng's non-acceptance.
It Is the first time In the history of
Germany that a chancellor haa let
anything like relchsttag opposition
stand In his way. It Is the first time
in German history that the relchstag
thus Indirectly has managed to Im
pose Its will on the kaiser.
DISCIPLE OF OLD SCHOOL.
Opposition of the relchstag major
ity to von Hertllng, it was reported,
was due to the former Bavarian pre
mier's violent and reiterated opposi
tion to all rule of the people. The 74
year-old statesman Is a disciple of the
old school of an autocratic ring to
conduct the government. Immediately
after the kaiser's choice of such an
enemy to popular rule was announced,
leaders of parliamentary reform groups
met nnd unanimously voted to resist
his selection.
Whether or not this reiehstag ma
jority will cause the kaiser's abandon
ment of the appointment was not hint
ed In Berlin dispatches today. If It
does, popular rule In Germany has
made an unprecedented advance step.
COAL LIMITED TO
ONE WEEK'S SUPPLY
Chicago, Nov. 1.—Deliveries of coal
to Chicago consumers today were Uni
ted to a week's supply through the rul
ing of the city committee of the fuel
administration. The rule is expected
to remain in force until the serious
shortage is dealt with.
John E. Williams, state fuel adminis
trator, has authorized the appointment
of a special committee to deal with
the coal supplies for public institutions.
Retail dealers advised the committee
today that there is, only about four
days supply of anthracite coal In the
city. About 90 per cent of the fuel
used here is anthracite. They declar
ed that a greater tonnage of that va
riety had been mined this year than
ever before and with the northwest and
east now fully supplied, steps should be
taken to divert sufficient supplies to
this section.
Portable sohoots, erected to handle
the overflow attendance, have been
dismissed until tho fuel situation Is
solved.

MEANS INDICTED ON
CHARGE OF MURDER
Concord, N. C., Nov. 1.—Gaston
Bullock Moans was formally charged
with the murder of Mrs. Maude A.
King, here tod« y when the grand Jury
returned an indictment.
Mrs. King, Moans' benefactor and
friend, was killed at Blackweller spring
near here by a rifle shot.
Prosecution and defense at once be
gan sparring for location and Jury
personnel of the trial. The indictment
followed three days' investigation by
the Jury which introduced a score of
new r witnesses Including a group of i
Chicago bankers and witnesses pre- •
seated by Assistant District Attorney j
Dooiing of New York state.
The feature of the investigation was |
the Jury's obvious Insistence on dis
covering a clear-cut motive for the
crime.
Mrs. King met her death at the lone
ly spring the night of May 29. Means
was the only person with her at the
time.
The state avers he lured her to this
unfrequented spot after dissipating her
fortune and murdered her to keep her
quiet. Means claims they went there
for target pructice with pistols and
that Mrs. King accidentally Bhot her
self.
The womun was shot In the back of
the head, on the left side about two
inches above the ear. Experts from
Chicago and New York, the two cities
in which Means Is alloged to have
made away with most of the Chicago
lumber baron widow's fortune, have
sworn that Mrs. King could not pos
sibly have shot herself In that man

INVADERS WITHIN
RANGE OF DEFENSES
ON TAGLIAMENTO
Washington, Nov. 1.—The great bat
tle of the northern Italian plains is
swinging into the first stages of its
crisis today. With von Mackenzen's
hosts now within range of the Tagiia
inento river at some points, General
Cadorna must soon Indicate his plan
of defense along that line.
Cadorna apparently is attempting to
keep the German command in doubt
about his forthcoming stand. Only
the barest information is being given
out through official channels here to
day. Cables indicate the Italians are
making a desperate effort to outflank
the German brigades, taking advan
tage of every feature of the terrain
to halt and confuse the advance of
the Teutons.
LONG BATTLE PREDICTED.
It is now believed the high point in
the fighting will not be reached before
Nov. 7 or 8. It is expected that the
struggle will still be la desperate pro
gress Nov. 15, when the first great
allied conference with America par

As a. result of Germany's stroke

the Germans must be driven out of
Italy entirely, military attaches her*

London, Nov. 1.—Lines for the all

peared slightly better.
The greatest menace to Italian safe

the flanking movement well under way

Austrian army under General von
Krobatln. This force Is making a des
perate thrust to turn the Italian po

HIS 400TH SCREEN PLAY
Carlyle Blackwell is now at work
upon the 400th screen play in which

Carlyle's publicity agent rises to re
mark that theatrical managers con
sider a 400th performance of a play a
milestone worthy of special mark, so
why shouldn't the advent of a 400th
