Russian Premier a YiCtia

LIFE WAS ALWAYS IN DANGER
Man In Whom Gar lntrusted Govern
ment Meets End In Great Agony.
In Service Of His State and
Nation Since 1899.

Kiev, Russia, Sept. 19.-Stolypin
prime minister of Russia, who was
shot during a gala performance at the
opera house last Thursday night, il
dead. 1t is announced that the deat
statesman's heart was not strons
enough to withstand the effects of al
internal hemorrhage which the doc
tors in attendance were unable to COPE
with.
The dying man suffered intense
agony, during which he would muir.
mur frequently, "Death-death IL
creeping on"
Stolypin first came into prominence
as the governor of Saratoff. 1t was
there in 1905 that the first attempt
was made to kill him. Three shots
were fired at him by Terrorist assas
sin, but he was not hit. Speaking
later of his own service in this posi-
he told how 1t had been his aim tC
cultivate class of peasant land
owners and to give them real weight
in the local government of their com
muneS. He was reproached for estah.
fishing a new university in this prov
ince. He replied that it was only by
introducing the higher education into
the provinces that the work of dever
oping law and order could be success
fully advanced in Russia.
In May, 1906, the czar called him to
st. Petersburg and made him minister
of the interior in the Goremykin min
iStry Ha only ramoinad fhraa months,
in this post, but that was long enough
for him to be savagely assailed on the
floor of the douma as a tyrant, a mur
derer, butcher, a monster of cruelty
unparalleled in history. The fact wa.
he came into Office with the risin%
wave of revolutionary terrorism, wh il
deluged Russia with blood and filled
it with ruin from Arkangel to I'll"
Crimea. He opposed terrorism to ter
rorism. The police and soldiers had u
free hand as respects repressive meas
ares in the disturbed districts. and
where suspects were convicted of rev
,olutionary or terrorist crimes eXecu-
tions, wholesale executions. were mer-
cilessly carried out.
III July, lJOO, he became prime IN i
lister, and despite annual rumors of his
impending downfall he weathercd
every political storm and remained nt
the time of his death more firmly en-.
trenched in office than ever before.
Stolypin was born in 1868, was edu-
Gated at the University of st. Peters
burg, graduating in 1884; served i'll the
ministries of the interior and agricul-
ture, was made marshal of the pro
vincial nobility in 1899, vice governor
of Grodno in 1902 and governor Of
Saratoff in 1903.
Jews are departing from the city
precipitously in fear of anti-JewiSh
riots. Cossacks patrol the streets.
One hundred and fifty lawyers anu
other acquaintances of Dmitry Bog
rolf. who shot Stolypin, have been ar
rested here.
Bogroff talked freely of his life and
furnished the authorities with valu
able clews His confident behavio
has given place to dependency.
1t is said that Bogroff belonged GC
new autonomous revolutionary
group, whose aim is to assassinate in
dividual statesmen.
