FOREIGN SHIPPING .. AND SEAMAN'S ACT
Ships Built Abroad and Trading From Foreign Points Not Liable
 Under Law.
Under Law.

Washington, Sept. "A large pro- portion of foreign ships in the Amer ican trade and all foreign built ships now under the American flag, are ex- empted from important provisions of the new seamen's bill by legal opin- ions made public today by the depart ment of commerce.
 Attorney General Gregory in an opinion subnnitted to President Wilson upTnolds Solicitor Thurman of the de- partment of commerce, who ruled that vessels of foreign countries whose navigation laws approximate" those of the United States are not subject to the section of the new law making extensive safety appliance require nnts.
 In another opinion Solicitor Thur man held today that the inspection provisions of the new law do not apply to foreign built ships admitted to Am erican registry under the president s proclamation suspending survey, in- spection and measureme ent laws to al- low the register of those vessels. According to Solicitor Thurman the attorney generals opinion will .ex- empt from the provisions of the act the vessels of virtually all the great maritime nations. Solicitor Thur mans second opinion will exempt 163 vessels of 565,512 tons, now under the American flag.

DICTATOR SUNK; '> UNOFFICIAL REPORT
Harrison Liner Was Slow and Prob : ably Has Not Reached
 War Zone. <<'
War Zone.

London, Sept. 7, 11:35 a. m.-The , Central News says that the Harrison line amship Dictator was sunk sev- eral days ago, and that her crew of forty-two was landed without casual ties. There is no confirmation of this report.
 Under the recent ruling of the Brit ish admiralty details concerning the sinking of vessels by submarines are withheld, but the implication, of the , foregoing despatch is that the Dicta- tor was attacked and sunk in the war zone about the British Isles
 The Harrison line steamer Dictator 4,116 tons gross and owned in Liver pool, sailed from Pernambuco, Bra gil on August 31, for Cabadelo Bra gil. Her subsequent movements have not been reported but as she requires about seventeen days for the voyage to England she could not have reached the war zone 'several days ago." It is possible that some other Harrison line steamer or another ves- sel named Dictator, of which there were several, has been sunk.

Irregular German Diplomacy.

(PrOVldence JOurnal)
 In the midst ot the general feeling of hopefulness over the favorable progress of our negotiations with Germany, there is noticeable cur rent of continued distrust. Germany cannot have changed her character all of a sudden. She cannot have abandoned thus spectacularly her old methods of trickery and deceit She cannot have transformed her purposes overnight and presto become a will ing and cheerful suppliant for our favor.
 The irregularity of Count von Bernstorffs latest communication to the State Department recalls the surprising irregularity'' which the president noted in his first note to Germany on the sinking of the Lusi- tania. That was MT. Wilson's char

RIGA'S FALL HUNDRED;
 PANIC IN PETROGRAD
Berlin Claims That Pretense to Re- serve Czars Residence Was
 Real Cause.

Berlin, Sept. 7, by wireless to Say vile, N. Y., The Overseas News Agency says that a panic was caused in Petrograd yesterday by rumors that the Russian Baltic port of Riga had been captured.
 'The Lokal Anzeiger publishes pri- vate telegrams from Stockholm" says the news agency, "stating that the Russian capital was thrown into con- fusion by reports that the positions on the Dvina line had been captured, that Russian armies had been de- stroyed, that Riga had been taken and that the German advance upon the capital would be no longer ham, pered. Immense crowds gathered in front of the newspaper offices. There was great excitement and many ar rests were made.
 Towards evening the newspapers published extra editions containing official denials of these rumors and saying the Russian defensive posi- ttons were till intact. However, the spread of panic at the capitol and re- ports of Emepror Nicholas trip to the front are only pretense to veil the removal of the Emepror's resi- dence to the interior"

 Lead Railways

New York, Sept. z, Wall St., 1O:30 a. m.-F'resh complications resulting from the sinking of another British liner caused unsettlement of stocks on resumption of trading today. The moro prominent war specialties rec- orded losses of one to two points, cop- pers also manifesting marked heavi- ness. U. s. Steel, which closed at 75 IA last week, opened with 2,o00 shares at "A 1-8 to "A 1-2, soon re- covering, however, to 75. Readings decline of a point to 149 was the only feature of the railways, where light dealings were the rule. The lower tendency in this market was foreshad- owed by London, where the interna- tional list was down to almost two points.
 Ctose-With no increase in activity, prices were lifted all around in the final hour, coalers leading the rail- ways. The closing was irregular.

Against Conscription-FaVor GoV-

Bristol, Eng, Sept. z, 12:44 p. m.- A resolution against conscription was passed unanimously, with great !. cheering, at todays session of the Trades Union congress. The resolu- ton was forwarded to Premier As quith, Earl Kitchener, David Lloyd George and Lord Northcliffe.
 The congress also declared in favor of standardization of railroads, taking the position that the experience or the government in managing the roads during the war was sufficiently encouraging to justify this step.
 James A. Seddon, the president, himself moved the resolution against conscription.
 Attempt to Foist Conscription. It expresses, hearty appreciation Of the magnificent response to the call for volunteers to fight against the tyranny of militia rism' and protests against the sinister efforts of a sec tion of the reactionary press in for ,mulating newspaper policies for party purposes and attempting to foist on their country conscription, which al- ways proves a burden to workers"
 
 to the government in every way to procure sufficient number of volun- teers.
 Twits Lord Northcliffe. Mr. Seddon twitted Lord North . cliffe, proprietor of the London Times, and other publications, for his newspaper campaigns on several aspects of the war which he said were harmless" and proceeded: "But when 1t came to an attempt to rush the country and force the hand of the government it was time for demo- cracy to say that no man, however, powerful in the press, should supplant the true will of democracy
 MT. Seddon protested against "The attempt to rush tho country and force the hand of the government it was time for democracy to say that no man, however powerful in the press, should supplanr the true will of democracy"
