INSURANCE FUND
• WILL BE ORGANIZED
Meeting Being Held This After
noon to Complete What Was
Started Yesterday
The steps to establish the State in
surance fund, which is to stand be
hind workmen's compensation when
it goes into effect on January 1, are
being taken this afternoon at a con
ference in the office of State Treasurer
Robert K. Young and men who will
attend to the preliminary details will
prouadly be talked over. This fund
will be modeled alter those in other
states, with such changes as will be
required under tne complex conditions
in tnis btate. . Meetings were held late
yesterday at which some details were
discussed In the omce ot Attorney
ueneral Brown.
Mr. Brown, who has named Francis
H. ±sohlen, of Philadelphia, secretary
or the lnuustrial Accidents Commis
sion, as adviser to the compensation
and insurance boards, ana Mr. jbohien
attended the conference.
Harry A. Mac Key, Philadelphia; J.
W. .beech, Bben*ourg, ai\d John A.
Scott, Indiana, are members of the
compensation board, and Insurance
Commissioner Johnson, State 'l'reas
urer Young and Commissioner ot LA
bor and Industry Jackson compose the
insurance board. In addition to
Alessrs. Brown and Bohlen there was
present Deputy Insurance Commis
sioner McCulloch.
The Attorney General stated that
the conterence was for the purpose ot
"getting together and arriving at un
derstandings on the system to be es
tablished."
Inspect Sew Offices
After the meeting the boards in
spected the onices rented in Masonic
'temple, adjoining Capitol Park, which
will be occupied because there is not
enough room in the State House. Air.
Brown placed at their disposal numer
ous reports and other data collected
on the subject of compensation from
every State and county which has the
plan for Its workers.
Both boards will meet here next
Tuesday for further discussion of de
tails and will return on September 22
to meet Governor Brumbaugh, who
is expected to return from San Fran
cisco on September 16. At that time
some selections of officials will be
made and the permanent organizations
effected. The compensation board will
visit Albany and other State capitals
to inquire into the systems in op
eration, and the insurance board,
which had a preliminary survey of in
surance funds and their operations
made ,by experts, will arrange for
visits to Columbus. Albany and other
places.
The organization of the insurance
fund, for whose administration the
State made an appropriation of
$300,000, will be first. It will be laid
out as soon as possible and men
familiar with insurance matters will
be placed in charge of various fea
tures. The act calls for a manager at
$7,500, an, assistant manager and nu
merous other officers, all more or less
technically trained. It is probable
that within a few weeks the making
of schedules, establishment of pre
miums and other details will be under
way.
One of the interesting features of
the State's insurance fund will be an
elaborate system of advertising of its
advantages. This will be done through
the legislative handbook, which will
devot# six pages to the fund, through
folders and by placing of matter in
envelopes sent on State business. The
fund itself will be created out of the
premiums paid by employers. The
State will pay the expenses.
"By the time the Governor returns,"
said Attorney General Brown, "the
details will be worked out and we will
be on a fair way to launch the sys
tem authorized by the Legislature.
For months thlß subject had been
glvefa thought and we are nearly ready
to go ahead and all will be prepared
long before January 1, the date when
the system becomes operative."
GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS
IS SENT TO CAUCASUS
[Continued From First Page.]
:to him which read:
"At the beginning of the war I was
unavoidably prevented from following
the inclination of my soul to put my
self at the head of the army. That
was why I entrusted you with the
commander-in-chief of all the land
and sea forces.
"Under the eyes of all Russia, your
imperial highness has given proof dur
ing the war of a steadfast bravery
which has caused a feeling of pro
found confidence and called forth the
sincere good wishes of all who fol
lowed yotlr operations through the in
evitable vicissitudes of war.
"My duty to my country, which has
been entrusted to me by God, impels
me to-day, when the enemy has pene
trated into the interior of the empire,
to take supreme command of the
active forces and to share with the
army the fatigue of war and to safe
guard with it Russian soil from at
tempts of the enemy. The ways of
Providence are inscrutable, but my
duty and my desire determine me in
mv resolution for the good of the
state.
"The invasion of the enemy on the
western front, which necessitates the
greatest possible concentration of civil
and military, authorities as well as the
unification of command in the field,
has turned our attention from the
southern front. At this moment I
recognize the necessity of your assist
ance and counsel on the southern
front, and I appoint you viceroy of
the Caucasus and commander-in
chief of the valiant Caucasian army.
"I express to your Imperial highness
my profound gratitude and that of
the country for your labors during the
war."
The action of Emperor Nicholas In
transferring his cousin, the Grand
Duke, to the Caucasian front, is per
haps the most important change of
this nature which has been made by
any of the belligerent nations. The
only comparable incident was the re
tirement of Emperor William In
October of last year of Lieut. General
Count Helmuth Von Moltke, as chief
of the German general stafT.
The post to which Grand Duke
Nicholas has been transferred Is of
relative unimportance ,as compared
with the prestige and vast powers of
his former of*ce as commander-in
chief of all Russia's great fighting
forces.

WILSON AND LANSING
TAKE UP DUMBA'S CASE
[Continued From First Page.]
President McKlnley went to call on
Secretary Day.
Tourists Stop and Look
The President's call was not ar
ranged In advance. He left his study
and passed out of the Executive offi
ces, through a little used entrance,
crossed the avenue which separates
the White House grounds from the
State, War and Navy Building and
walked up the main stairway unat
tended while dozens of surprised tour
ists and employes stopped to l<Jbk.
The President continued on up the In
ner stairways and Into one of the long
corridors leading to Secretary Lan
sing's private office, where he passed
by th emessenger at the door and
entered unannounced.
I Mrs. Lansing was calling on her
husband and the Secretary was at his
desk with his coat removed, as Is his
custom ready to begin a day's work.
Secret Service Men Pile In
Men of the secret service guard
piled out of the White House and into
the State Department buildin?
through all entrances and some of
them Anally caught up with the Presi
dent as he was about to enter Mr.
Lansing's office.
It has been customary for the
President to summon the Secretary to
the White House when he wished to
confer with him. President Wilson,
however, has departed from that cus
tom a igreat deal by using the tele
phone. He has shown it to be his
habit, however, to visit other officials
when he has something important to
talk about and as was the case of
to-day, he does it without being an
nounced.
Late yesterday Ambassador Dumba
conferred at length with Secretary
Lansing about the correspondence
taken from an American correspond
ent by British se'eret service men
which disclosed that the Austrian am
bassador was concerned in a project
to interfere with the operations of
American munitions plants. The am
bassador explained that his govern
ment had instructed htm to give the
widest publicity to a decree making it
a criminal offense for any Austro-
Hungarlan to be concerned in the
manufacture of munitions of war for
his country's enemies.
So far as was known the ambassa
dor did not disclaim his action nor
did he disclaim having reported on
i the project to his home government in
documents which were found on tho
American correspondent. The State
Department takes the view that there
is no precedent to cover his case, but
it regards the use of an American
passport for a messenger to one of
the belligerent governments as serious.
Situation Grave
Secretary Lansing heard all Dr.
Dumba had to say and let it be known
that he would present the ambassa
dor's explanation to the President. It
Is known that officials regarded Dr.
Dumba's statement that he *had acted
on instructions of his government as
making the situation more grave as
they previously had assumed that he
was acting for himself.
After spending ilfteen minutes with
Secretary Lansing the President start
ed back for the White House. The
State Department corridor by that
time was thronged by clerks eager to
get a glimpse of the President on such
an unusual dccason. No attempt was
made to keep them back and as the
President moved on he was surround
ed by correspondents who asked about
his talk with the Secretary.
"The State Is not trembling," he
said. "I Just brought over some
papers of a routine nature, which
ordinarily I would have sent 'over.
There Is nothing new at all."
President Wilson was asked If there
was anything new in connection with
Ambassador Dumba's case.
"Nothing at all," he said, "the secre-.
tary is handling that."
Then, surrounded by the secret ser
vice men, Mr. Wilson walked down the
stairs and across the street to his offico
by the same route as he came.
Had Dumba's Letter
Later it was learned that the pa
pers which President Wilson took to
Secretary Lansing Included a copy of
the letter Dr. Dumba had sent to- his
Foreign Office» and which was found
by the British secret service men.
Photograph copies also had been sent
to the State Department by Amb&a*
sador Page in London.
Ambassador Dumba in the mean*
time had been to call on Secretary
Wilson, of the Department of Labor,
in connection with a plan to aid in
securing employment for any Aus
trian subjects who might leave their
places in the munitions plants as the
result of publication of the decree
threatening punishment. Secretary
Wilson was not at his office and the
Ambassador returned to his chancel
lory Intending to return to the sum
mer embassy at Lenox, Mass., late%
to-day.
News of the President's call on
Secretary Lansing was received at
the embassy with undisguised sur
prise. It was plain that officials
there were at a loss to conjecture
What the next move would be.
Secretary Lansing would not dis«
cuss the President's visit except to
say he was taken by surprise when
the Chief Executive entered his of
fice unannounced.
