CHECKS PAYABLE TO ScHIFf

New York, November 7.-At a mass meeting of Jewish residents of this city held here today $56,S0O was collected for the relief of the sufferers of the massa- cres in Russia and a relief society was formally organized with Oscar s. Strauss, former minister to Turkey. as president; Cyrus Sulzburger, secretary, and Jacob H. Sciff as treasurer.
 The meeting was attended by represen- tatives from all stations of life by the Hebrew citizens. Dispatches from Lon don, Paris and Berlin expressed a will ingness on the part of the populace to CO., operate and to form an International so- ciety upon the completion of the election in this city
 The movement in London is in the hands of Lord Rothschild In Paris of the Jewish Colonial association. and in Der lin of the Berliner Hilsyarein. A dispatch from Paul Nathan, vice president of the latter organization, announced that he would start at once for Russia. It Is proposed to distribute the moneys col lected by the movement through the diplo- matic agencies of Great Britain, and MT. Schiff announced that Lord Lansdowne has been communicated with on this point.
 Prof. Richard Gothen of Columbia uni- versity aroused considerable discussion over the disposition of the funds.
 He was of the opinion contrary to MT Schiff and was talking to a motion made by MT. Schiff that the funds go to the relief of all the sufferers by the massa- cres whether Jews or Christians. Pro- lessor Goethil argued that this was a meeting of Jews for the relief of Jews and that the funds should be devoted to the relief of Jews alone Finally it was decided that the funds should be admins tered by committee of fifty to be ap- pointed by the chair. Those who contrib uted to this fund with the proviso that their money should be used for the relief of the Jews should have their wishes re- spected, but otherwise the moneys will be used for the relief of all sufferers in Russia. whether Jew or Gentle.
 The subscription lists were kept open and Jacob H. Sniff was designated as the individual to whom subscriptions may be sent.

ONE GRAND DUKE
 STANDS BY W|TTE Nicholas MichaeIievitch Has
 Been Big Help MANY CHANGES WILL COME One of the Most Important Is the Change in Russia from Julian
 to the Greeoran
 Calendar.
MANY CHANGES WILL COME

St. Petersburg, November 7.-Grand Duke Nicholas Michaelievitch is the only member of the imperial family backing Count Witte. He went to Peterhof at the latter's suggestion during the critical time just before the issuance of the mani- festo of October 30, while Count Alexis Ignatiff, a member of the council of the empire and M. Goremyldn. former minis ter of the interior were struggling to pre- vent and yielding to the popular demands. The Grand Duke never ceased to exercise his influence in favor of Count Witte.
 When the Count, op the Sunday pre- ceding the issuance of the manifesto, left Peterhof in disgust the Grand Duke induced the Emperor to reconsider his decision and to dispatch General Baron w. Fredericks, minister of the Imperial house. in an automobile to St. Peters burg at o'clock in the morning to again summon Count Witte, who on the memor- able Monday returned to Peterhof and &c., cured the Emperor's signature to the his- toric document.
 Some of Count Witte's enemies are now spreading report that he was bribed by the Jews.
 Russ Opposes Witte.
 The Russ, which is conducting cam paign for the downfall of General Trepoff, declares that unless the general be im- mediately removed, the count will suc- cumb to a military dictatorship.
 The new era in Russia will be marked by change from the Julian to the Gre gorian calendar The use of the old cal endar which is thirteen days behind that of other civilized countries, has been the cause of infinite confusion. The academy of sciences has already submitted a plan to shorten the Russian February by thir- teen days and to begin March 1, in the new style.
 Complete Control of Situation.
 Now that the crisis in Finland is vr- tualy over 1t develops that the revolu- tionary socialists had complete control of the situation. The militia in possession of Helsingfors and other towns kept a and prevented the news of what was hap pening reaching the Russian authorities The whole country was in a ferment of excitement and was fed upon reports that the Russian people had set up Republic and that thousands of men and even women were making their way into the interior toward the cities with arms to join in war for freedom.

Finland, he said, always was loyal until it was driven into the position of an enemy by Sipiagune, Plehve, Bobrikon and other haters of progress, but now the general predicts that Finland will return to its grand faith in and allegiance to the empire

CANNOT GIVE 1ocKMAN PRIZE
Jury Will Not Establish Precedent in Hall.
garten Award

De witt N. Lockman won the first Hallgarten
prize of $500 for his picture, Partially shown
at the exhibition of the National Academy Of
Design, as told in The Tribune. but refused the
award because, through oversight, he had
passed the age limit when he painted the picture
There has been some speculation as to whether
the jury of selection might finally decide that
Mr. Locknan should have the prize as he had
made all his studies for the picture before reach
ing his thirty-ffth birthday. He was only a
few weeks over thirty-fve-the age linit-when
he painted the picture.
George H. Yewell, of the jury of selection,
said yesterday that Mr.. Locknlan had written a
manly letter in giving up the prize. The jury
however, could not make precedent by award
ing the prize in the circumstances. Advantage
might possibly be taken of such precedent
in the future, artist could claim he had
made his studies several years before painting
picture IN order to escape the age limit.

HELP FOB OLD ARTISTS.
Trustees of Fund Decide to Raise
S50,00o-4ppeoI to the Public.

A meeting was held yesterday by the trustees
of the fund for superannuated artists for the
Artists Fund Society and the Artists Aid Society
at the home of William F. Havemeyer. No. 10 East
S7th-st The original scheme to raise 100000 was
abandoned. AS there IS no wish on the part Of
the trustees to build maintain home it was
decided to raise only S500OO which It was thought
would yield enough income to enable them to do
the work Of relief as at present contemplated.
For years the Artists Fund Society and the
Artists Aid Society have relieved individual cases
OF distress among members OF the artistic pro-
fessions Small committees who performed these
acts of benevolence alone knew the names of those
to whom assistance given. Through lack of
funds these societies have rarely attempted to
provide anything beyond temporary relief in cases
of illness similar misfortune. but now there are
a number OF urgent which require perma-
nent assistance.
Mr.. Havemeyer was selected chairman OF the
committee yesterday. and # was decided to make
an urgent appeal once to all who are interested
in art and artists. Checks may be sent to any of
