STURMER, RASPUTIN's AID,
DIES IN RUSSIAN PRISON
Former Russian Premier Was One of
Ozark Forces' That Aroused Re-
volt Against the Gear.

PETRoGRAD. September Boris
Vladimirovitch Sturmer, former pre-
mier and foreign minister, died yester-
day from uremia. He had been i'll for
a long time.
NJ. Sturmer began his career in the
ruling senate in 1872, having taken
his law degree at Petrograd University
At the time of the coronation of En-
peror Nicholas, Sturmer was governor
OF the Novgorod government, but was
called to Petrograd to organize the
ceremony, and for many years was
master of ceremonies at the Imperial
court. He was elected president of the
board Of the zemstvo in the govern
ment of Tver in 1892. but in 1894 was
again appointed governor of Novgorod
In 1896 he was made governor of Yaro-
slav.
Sturmer became president of the
council of ministers in 1916, succeeding
NJ. Goremkin.
Sturmer with the late Monk Rasputin
and former Minister of Interior Pro-
topon formed the trio known as 1.-THE
dark forces" which aroused the Rus
slams to revolt against the regime of
Emperor Nicholas. In June last Stur-
mer was indicted under a law which
provided severe punishment for the ar
bitrary transgression by a Russian
official of the limits of his rightful
power. Recently he had been incar-
cerated in the fortress of ST Peter
and St. Paul, and late in August was
reported to be insensible, as the result
of his illness, with little hope for his
recovery.
