Says Rumor of Riga's Fall
Caused Panic in Petrograd

Berlin, Sept 7 (by wireless to Say
Vile, Long Island The Overseas
News Agency says that a panic was
caused in Petrograd yesterday by ru-
mors that Riga had been captured.
1.-THE Lokalanzeiger' publishes pri-
vate kilograms from Stockholm" says
the agency, stating that the Russian
capital was thrown into confusion by
reports that the positions on the
Dvina line had been captured, that
Russian armies had been destroyed,
that Riga had been taken, and that
the German advance upon the capital
would be no longer hampered. I'm
mense crowds gathered in front Of
the newspaper Offices. There was
great excitement and many arrests
were made.
Toward evening the newspapers
published extra editions containing
official denials of these rumors and
saying that the Russian defensive po-
sitions were still intact. However, the
spread of panic at the capital and re-
ports of Emperor Nicholas's trip to
the front are only a pretence to veil
the removal of the Emperor's resi-
dence to the interior"

PEACE FRIENDS
PLAN POLITICAL
ORGANIZATION
Will Aim at u. S. Arms
Embargo and Freedom
of Seas from Britain.

Chicago, Sept. 7.--Officials of the
Friends of Peace met here to-day and
discussed plans for a nationwide or
ganization "for political and other ac-
ton"
The contemplated organization, which
was described by its founders as mot
a political party" will have as its aim,
according to officials, freedom of the
seas from England's blockade of Ger
many, cessation of the expectation of
war munitions by any means and the
influencing of Representatives to ad-
vocate legislation along the lines of
the resolutions adopted by the con-
vention of the Friends of Peace, which
closed yesterday.
The ambition of the promoters is to
enroll 100000 names. The organiza-
tion will take no action, leaders de-
clared, with regard to loyalty to the
United States government in case OF
war with Germany, but every member
will "act according TO his own judg-
ment in such a case"
"There can be no doubt" said Fran
els L. Dorl, editor of the pro-German
Vital Issue" and one of the leaders
in the convention, that, in case OF
war with Germany many per-
sons, acting privately, will refuse ac-
lively to support this government

this hint that the United States might
Tecede on this point Il is argued that
10 alter any principle for which the
United States has contended, after that
principle has been violated, would be a
manifest injustice to travellers. The
passengers Of the Hesperisn went
aboard with the understanding that
they were under the protection OF IN
ternAtional law. To concede now that
international law is void because OF the
danger 10 the submarine that II lmplles
would, In the opinion OF some ofhclalS,
place all travellers on the seas IN
decidedly uncomfortable position when
setting out on a voyage, as they could
not be sure but what some excuse
would be found for denying the protec-
tion which had been promised.
Secretary Lansing is hopeful that
some light may be shed on the clrcum-
stances OF the Hesperian case by the
two American survivors. He believed
that their testimony would be or
greater value than that Of the ships
officers and Of passengers Of belliger-
ent nationality. who would be under
the suspicion Of partiality.
In the mean time report from Am
bassador Gerard is awaited. II IS be-
lieved that when the commander Of the
submarine which sank the Hesperian
arrives home he will at once transmit
a report to his government, which in
turn will be given 20 Ambassador Ge-
rRrd. Failing TO receive this, the
American Ambassador will ask Tor II.

Dumba Had Secret
Conference Here

That DR. Constantin T. Dumba, Aus
Hungarian Ambassador to the
United States consulted with ennis
saries Of Count Won Bernstorff, the
German Ambassador before leaving for
Washington yesterday morning, be-
came known yesterday when it was
learned tnat Prince Won Hatzfeldt-Tra-
chenberg, Counsellor of the German
Embassy and Captain Franz Won Papen,
its military attache, met DR.. Dumba IN
a private 'inirP room at Delmonico's
and conferred with him. This meeting
took place shortly after DR.. Dumbas
arrival from his summer home in
Lenox Mass. few minutes after mid
night yeFtArd6y. The Austrian Am
bassador engaged a taxi at the Grand
Central Terminal, ostensibly for
drive to the st. Regis Hotel, where he
maintains an apartment.
Once out of sight of the newspaper
men, who had arrived to greet him,
DR.. Dumba gave orders to the chauffeur
to dron him at Delmtnico's. There he
was ushered into a private room, where
he conferred with the German officials
at some length. 1t was 1880 o'clock
when Dr.. Dumba arrived at the St.
Regis Hotel
Although The Tribune learned upon
good authority that Count Won Bern
storff was in the city and had secreted
himself in his apartment in the Ritz
Carlton Hotel, efforts to reach him
were unaxailing. Dr. Frederick Elder.
his secretary. said last night that the
Ambassador would not have any state
ments 10 make on either the Dumba or
the Hesperian issue.
1t developed yesterday that James F.
d. Archibald, the American journalist
and war correspondent 20 whom DR..
Dumba, Count Won Bernstorff and mem
bers OF the German and Of the Aus
trian Embassy stats intrusted Official
documents and other letters which
were seized upon Archibald's arrival in

over them. Any communication that
DR.. Dumba may have wished to make
to the subjects of Austria Hungary in
this country should have been trans
mitted through the United States gov
ernment.
Secretary Lansing would not deny
that a copy of Ambassador Dumba's
letter to his government might be sent
10 United States Ambassador Penfield,
at Vienna, for his information in case
he should have to take up the case
with the Austrian government. II DR..
Dumba should be requested TO withdraw
from Washington, the United states
would be obliged to advise the Austrian
government Of its reasons, and Am
bassador Penfeld would receive instruc-
tions to present a copy of the letter TO
the Vienna Foreign Office. In this
way, an official remarked to-day, the
letter would finally reach its destina-
tion, though not precisely in the man
ner originally intended.

Say Hesperian Saw
U-Boat Early in Day

Queenstown. Sept Wesley Frost,
American Consul at Queenstown, has
obtained a Joint statement from officers
OF the Hesperian. but it does not throw
any new light on the question whether
the ship was warned or whether sub
marine was sighted.
Survivors interviewed here assert
that they learned early on the day Of
the disaster that a submarine had been
sighted. and say that the Hesperisn
kept a zigzag course thereafter. Some
passengers say, however, that II q sub
marine was sighted they are unable
70 understand why more elaborate
preparations were not made TO place
lifebelts and lifeboats in readiness.
Rotterdam, Sept. 7 dispatch to The
London Daily News Until to-day
Berlin was apparently unaware that IN
the torpedoing of the Hesperian there
was any loss Of life or that any Ameri-
cans we're on board. The later news,
therefore, has come as something Of a
shock 70 those opponents Of piracy,
who. fondly hoping they had scored at
least a partial success, now find Ger
many once more badly embroiled with
American and neutral feelings gener-
ally.
Lack Of information, however, did
not prevent the preparation of alterna-
tive excuses. | learned from a semi
cficiAl source this morning, at all
events. that II has been decided 70 re-
gard the accident" as a result Of an
English mine. But later information
to-day is that in case il is proved a
German submarine was concerned, then
IL will be declared the vessel was one
that had been az sea for considerable
time and had not received the latest
instructions.

Resolution Against Forced
Service Is Adopted
Unanimously.
SPEAKERS ATTACK
LORD NORTHCLIFFE
Denounce "Sinister Efforts
Convention Asks National
ization of Railways.
IBy Cable TO The Tribune J

Bristol. Sept THE Trades Union
Congress adopted unanimously to-day
resolution against conscription.
Although this action was not unex-
pected, despite the tremendous agita-
tion in the Northciffe press, the gen.
eral opinion was that there would be a
considerable fight over the question.
Northcliffe's efforts, however, seemed
only TO have stirred up the bitterest
resentment Of labor organizations, and
they registered their sentiments in no
uncertain manner
This decision is Of vital Importance
to the nation. because /: is considered
extremely unlikely that the government
will take counter action in the face OF
so great an opposition, showing that
the masses are as hostile TO compulsion
now as at any timv III the country's
history.
The work Of the national registry ls
now nearly completed. The facts Will
be ready for presentation at the open
ing Of Parliament, a week from TO-
morrow. There is the keenest interest
in what the government plan will be-
"a Burden TO Workers"
James A. Seldom, president Of the
Trades Union Congress, moved the
resolution against conscription. 1t ex-
presses hearty appreciation Of the
magnificent response TO the call for
vol ntcers 10 fight against the tyranny
of militarism" and protests against
"the sinister efforts of section OF the
reactionary press in formulating news.
paper policies for party purposes and
attempting to foist on their country
conscription, which always proves a
burden to workers" The resolution
promises assistance to the government
in every way 20 obtain suificient
number of volunteers.
Mr.. Seddon twitted Lord Northcllite
for his "harmless" newspaper cam
paigns on several aspects Of the war
and proceeded;
"But when il came to an attempt TO
rush the country and force the hand
of the government il was time. for
democracy to say that no man, how
ever powerful in the press, should sup
plant the true will of democracy"
Mr.. Seddon protested against the
attempt to embroil the nation in a
great internal conflict, which would
split it in two at time when national
unity was all essential"
