IMPORTANT ELECTION
 WITNESS DISAPPEARS
SENSATION IN BRANCH OF SU- PREME COURT IN NEW
 FORK.

John Krup, Indicted for Illegal Voting
 in Recent Municipal Election Fails to
 Appear for PIeading-Earlier in the
 Day He Had Been Released on Bonds
 of S5,OOO-State Attorney General In-
 dignant-As Fragrant Defiance of
 Law as He Has Ever Heard Of.
 New York, Nov. 16.-Something of a sensation was created in Justice Davis branch of the supreme court this after noon when John Krup, indicted for H. legal voting in the recent municipal election failed to appear for pleading and his attorney expressed Ignorance as to his whereabouts. Earlier in the day Krup's release had been secured under increased bail, d 5000 cash bond being filed.
 States Attorney General Mayer, who was in court, was indignant at the turn of affairs. Tonight the attorney gen. eral made public this statement:
 Every effort will be made to ascer- tain who put up the $5,OOO bail and who employed counsel to defend Krup. | A4C 4IiIh1C . Ol LALup u dppGdF III court was as fragrant a defiance of law as I ever heard of. The disappearance of Krup is the best confirmation of the statement made by me in court urging that his bail be increased. I believe there were reasons, apart from reasons of his own, why Krup did not appear 7"
 Justice Davis declared the 5000 bail forfeited. Krup's case was reached at 2 o'clock, but at the request of counsel it was postponed for an hour. At 8 o'clock there was still no sign of the defendant. His lawyers. Abraham Levy and former Deputy Attorney General Charles P. Dillon, said they had left him but short time ago and he assur- ed them he would be in court. Attor- ney- General Mayer, moving for for feiture of bail, declared he was not sur- prised at the turn of affairs.
 If this defendant has left town," de- clared the attorney-general, T know with whom he was last seen and will know how to proceed. thought some- body must have been greatly interested in Krup to put up $5,0O0 bail for him just to secure his liberty for a few hours"

Movement to Throw Entire Organized
 Farming Interests to Him.
 Atlantic City,N. J., Nov. 16.--A move ment to throw the entire organized farming interests of the country to the support of President Roosevelt in his efforts for an adjustment of railroad tariffs began at to-day's session of the Nation Grange, Patrons of Husbandry. Three resolutions, all of them irtro- duced with the idea of unifying, the agricultural strength, were introduced and after spirited discussions were re- ferred to committees for revision and amendment.
 The first resolution was offered by T. c. Atkinson, master of the West Vir- ginia grange, and a professor at the Tate college. He urged the national control of freight rates and endorsed the attitude of President Roosevelt to- ward securing legislation to this end.

ImpostOr in Region Once Before Scene
 of Agrarlan Rebellion. [
 St. Petersburg, Nov. 16,-5:45 p. m.-- A false emperor has made his appear ance near Penza, and already his fol- lowing number 50,0O0. This startling re- port was received this afternoon in a dispatch from Simbrisk. Penza is in the heart of the vast region extending westward from the Volga, where agra rian uprisings on a large scale have been occurring and if the report turns out to be true that the pretender to the throne has placed himself at the head of the peasantry the government may soon face besides it's other troubles a formidable agrartan rebellion.
 It required a year to suppress the famous rebellion led by Pugatcheq, who impersonated the dethroned and mur- dered Peter IT., in +he time of Gather inc II. That uprising was started in the same region on the banks of the Volga.

 Betterment of Agrarian Conditions.
 London, Nov. 17-6 a. m.-A dispatch from St. Petersburg to Reuters Tele- gram company says that an imperial manifesto granting land concessions to the peasants was issued this morning. By its terms the land redemption tax payments will from January IA, 1906, be reduced by one-half and from January IA, 1907, the payments will be totally abolished, At the same time the capi- tai of the Peasants bank is increased and the bank is granted additional loan privileges with the object of facilitating to the utmost the purchase of lands by peasants.
 St. Petersburg, Nov. 17-2:25 a. m.- Though the industrial tie-up in St. Pe- tersburg yesterday was even more com plete than it was Wednesday, and though no break has been manifested in the ranks of the workmen and strikes have broken cut at Moscow and Reval, the most important feature of yesterdays developments was the fail- ure of the walkout to spread generally outside the capital. The movement ap- parently lacks the spontaniety and con- tagiousness of the last great strike, which broke out at Moscow, and dis patches received from the industrial centers of Russia up to this hour show little inclination on the part of the Worklnen to take up the cudgels in be- half of Poland,
 The factory strike at Moscow, which has assumed considerable proportions, probably 45,000 men being out, has mo direct connection with the St. Peters burg walkout, and dispatches from the old capital say that the railroad men received the request of the St. Peters, burg strike committee coldly. The whole great network of railroads cen- tering at Moscow, except the St. Pe- tersburg line, is still in operation. At Reval the employees of the railroad shops struck, but the reasons for the strike are not stated.
 In St. Petersburg, yesterday passed with complete order. Patrols were vis< ible in all the industrial quarters and Cossacks were trotting up and down the Nevsky Prospect among the swiftly dashing carriages and sleighs, but the workmen in obedience to the order of the strike committee, kept generally in doors, and did not attempt demonstra- tions, so that there was no occasion for a resort to force to avert trouble.
 The strikers forced the closing of the Moscow railroad station early yester- day afternoon, stopping outgoing traf- flee for Moscow, and at 10 o'clock last night they finally succeeded in clos ing the electric stations and cutting off light from the city. Committees were sent to all the theaters and succeeded in stopping the performances in sev~ eral of them and in the outlying dis tricts they went from drug store to drug store ordering the pharmacists to x T,teIJ-

 Against Accepting It Introduced and

 Sorrow at Intimacy of GOmpers With
 Capitalists.
 Pittsburg, Nov 16.-The sessions of the American Federation of Labor con- vention to-day was largely devoted to clearing away preliminary matters, hearing reports and preparing for the more direct work of the meeting. ~ k To-day was the last day for present. ing resolutions without the consent of the convention. The only incident of the days proceedings tending to relieve them of their routine character was the tilt early in the day between Organizer P. H. Scullen and Frank Duff, during which Scullen was severely criticised and accused by Duffy of irregularities.
 Among eleven resolutions introduced by Victor l.. Berger, delegate of the International Typographical union, are these:
 That the congress of the United States pass a bill which will secure to every wage worker in the United States who has earned no more than $1,00O average wages per annum a pen sion of not less than $12 per month at the age of sixty.
 That we point with sorrow to the close intimacy established between Samuel Gompers and other la Dor leaders with the great capitalists and plutocratic poli- clans, and the results of this policy are not for Iabor's interests, as shown in the failure of the Belmont subway strike in New York, and the futility of the eight-hour campaign in congress.
 That in view of the present notori- ous system of insurance in which the Workmen find little or no protection, system of state insurance similar to that in operation in Germany be estab- lished, in which the government, the employer and the workman each pay one-third of the premium"
 The motion presented at the morning session declining the $100 offered by H. c. Prick for the entertainment of the delegates while in this city was with drawn this afternoon by Delegate Jo- hannsend. He announced that he had learned that the money had not yet been presented, and that it would be rejected when it was offered, and for this reason he withdrew the motion.

 Sunday School Work

New York, Nov. 16.-Three largely at- tended meetings in Carnegie hall mark ed the second day of the inter-church conference on federation, the speakers at morning, afternoon and evening ses- sions being men of national prominence and noted Christian workers. John Wanamaker of Philadelphia delivered an address on Sunday school work at the afternoon session, pointing out that the success off these schools is largely due to the union of churches in their direction. This was cited as a guiding example to the interchurch conference which has been gathered with the prin- ciple of the federation of the churches in view. Rev. Dr. James M. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate, at tackled the Sunday newspapers as one of the greatest foes to Sabbath keeping and declared the religious press has by no means lost it's influence.
