Austro Hungarian Ambassa dor Go Ahead Enforcing Decree of Vienna SITUATION REGARDED AS DIPLOMATIC ISSIE President Surprises Washington By Walking to State Department to Call on Secretary Lansing and Confer on Attitude. Washington, Sept. 8. Dr. Con stants Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador, left late today for the summer embassy at Lenox, Mass., to await word from Secretary j Lansing whether the United States government is satisfied with his explanation of his intercepted letter to Vienna out lining plans for withdrawing Austro Hungarian labor and handicapping American munition plants, j The Ambassador's statement to Mr. Lansing yesterday that he was acting under instructions from his govern ment in all that he planned to do apparently has made of the affair a diplomatic issue far more serious "than a mere question of. ethics or propriety involving only Dr. Dumba himself. Silence on the subject was1 observed again today at the White House and State Department, and "so far as is known no decision has been reached. The President, carrying the cabled copy of the Ambassador's letter, walk. ed over to the department during the morning, surprised Secretary Lansing office and spent fllteen minutes discussing the situation. It was the first time a President has done such I a thing since Spanish war days. LAID TO REST AH That Is Mortal of Mr. A. E.

Passen gers on an inbound iairneia line street car were panic-stricken early this morning, when a fellow passen ger opened fire with a pistol on two women.

One of the most enjoyable musical programs ever rendered in this city was that of last evening vchen the Misses Day, directors of the vocal de partment of Meredith College present ed Mrs. Minnie Haynes-Edmonds. Mrs. Edmonds possesses a lyric so prano of unusual sweetness and briL- liancy. Her interpretation of the se lections rendered was faultless, par ticularly "One Fine Day" from "Mad ame Butterfly" and the group of six songs "by modern ' composers. The range of her clear and impressive voice is wonderfully wide and under perfect control. During the program the Misses Day assisted Mrs. Edmonds in a number of beautiful trios, the harmony of which greatly delighted the apprecia tive audience. v The Misses Day are well known vo calists, not only in this country, but have delighted many European audi ences. Miss Helen Day was formerly soloist for the Damrosch and the Imperial Band of Italy.

DEPOSES GRAND DUKE HICKOLAS Czar Transfers Commander in Chief of the Russian Army WILL ALSO LEAD THE ARMY THERE Petrograd, Sept. 8. Grand Duke Nicholas has been transferred to the Caucasus by Emperor Nicholas. The emporer took this action on assuming command of the military and naval forces of Russia. In transferring the grand duke he appointed him viceroy of the Caucasus and commander in chief of the army on the southern front. The transfer was made In connec tion with a general reorganization of such importance that it has stirred the nation deeply. The grand duke replaces the famous viceroy of the Caucasus, Count Von Vorontzoff-Dashkoff. Emperor Nich olas- addressed to the count a com munication acknowledging the value of his labors, and stating that he "yields to his request to be permitted to devote his energies to work for which his state of health is more equal." The emperor attaches him to his personal staff. AT THE ACME TOMORROW.

S. WARRICK, r 2 ; - City Tax Collector. Offlce t City HalL i DO HOT BELIEVE U BOAT SAKK HESPERIII At Least Ship Was Not Tor pedoed Under Conditions Desribed MAY HAVE STRUCK RilNE THEX CLAIM Berlin, Sept. 8. Persons in a po sition to speak with authority; assert positively the conviction that the Hesperian was not torpedoed by a German submarine; at least, under the conditions thus far described. The assumption that the Hesperian was sunk by a German submarine id met with ever-increasing doubt in of ficial circles. Although authorized quoted comment is withheld, the pos itiveness of the opinions expressed in formally by individuals who may be assumed to have authoritative infor mation. Is noteworthy. In these quar ters it is believed the Heperian must have struck a mine, or possibly was destroyed by some agency from with in; that it may be regarded as cer tain she was not torpedoed by a Ger man submarine under the conditions set forth in press dispatches and in accounts given by passenegrs.. These persons point out that such details given as the shock of the im pact, the column of water thrown up, and the flying fragments of metal may be adapted quite as well to the theory that the Hesperian struck a mine as to the assumption that she was tor pedoed. Moreover, it is said, there is not a single positive Indication that a submarine was concerned. The degree of assurance with which this theory is advanced seems to bo based on knowledge of additional In structions Issued to submarine com manders since the Arabic was sunk. Neither diplomatic nor naval ofBcials, however, will give any information on this subject. i SUNK ARABIC III SELF DEFENSE Berlin, Sept. 8. The commander of a German submarine which has re turned to its base has reported to the admiralty that he torpedoed the liner Arabic in the belief that the Arabic's action indicated she was about to at tack the-submarine and that he fired in self-defense.
