CZAR CALLS ON SUFFERER Church Services Are Held Through out Russia to Pray for Recovery of Official Assailant Proves VncommuntcatlTe. KIEV, Russia, Sept. 15. Premier Stolypln. who was shot down in the Municipal Theater here last night in the presence of Emperor Nicholas. In all probability will survive. Surgeons announced late tonight that the Pre mier's condition was satisfactory. They declared that no complications were feared and there were good hopes for his recovery. The local police believe that Bogroff, the assassin, is a political malcontent and that the reason for the crime was his hatred of M. Stolypln. due to the Premier's reactionary policy. At his first examination today Bo groft was dejected and refused to give any Information concerning the ahoot lng. Emperor Nicholas visited M. Stoly pln at the hospital today. Minister of Finance Kokovsoff left here today for St. Petersburg to assume charge of the government. Services Are Held. Church services are being held throughout Russia and prayers are be ing offered for the restoration to health of "God's servant. Peter." The would-bo murderer, who de scribed himself as a junior member of a firm of lawyers and the son of a well-known attorney and wealthy house owner, M. Bogroff, chose a mo ment to shoot the Premier when attend tion had been withdrawn from the stage and could be centered readily upon him. The day had been one of festivities In which Emperor Nicholas and others of the Imperial family had participated. The day was to close with a gala performance' of the opera and ballet "Tsar Soltan. At o ciock the curtain rose. The Imperial box was occupied by Emperor Nicholas, by the heir apparent. Grand Duke Alexis, aged T years, and the Emperor's daughters, the Grand Duch esses Olga, Tatlana, Marie and All as tasia. Maay Women Faint. In the front row of the pit were seated Premier Stolypln and his ssso clates In the ministry. During the Intermission following the second act, Premier Stolypln had turned toward the center aisles, con versing with the Minister of War. Gen eral Soukhomllnoff and Count Potocky. A young man in evening dress moved quietly down the aisle, approached the row occupied by the Ministers and ap peared to accost M. Stolypln. A second later he swiftly drew a revolver and emptied it, seemingly, direct at the Premier. Many women fainted. The vast crowd seemed panlo stricken. - Emperor Nicholas sprang from his air and, stepping to the front of the imperial box. stared in the direction of the wounded Premier. With quick realization of what had occurred. His Majesty, ordered the orchestra to play the national anthem. The coolest figure In the tragedy was M. Stolypln. who was twice wounded. One bullet bad entered the right breast and the other the right wrist, probably as he rained the arm In defense. He summoned his waning strength, and rising, faced the Im perial ' box. lifted his wounded arm and made the sign of the cross toward His Majesty. Then he dropped Into his seat. Before General Soukhomlln off could assist him. the Premier re moved his uniform coat and attempted to examine his Injuries. Aaaallaat I Kabbed. In the wild confusion, Bogroff slipped toward an exit. Before he could reach It he was seized, thrown to the floor and trampled. The police succeeded In controlling the situation and protected Bogroff. As the Premier was carried from the theater he witnessed a remarkable demonstration of loyalty. Responding to the command of the Emperor, the orchestra played the National anthem, the curtain rose and the artists, still In the costumes of opera, knelt and repeated the anthem five times, the audience Joining in a chorus of "God Save Thy People." The Emperor bowed repeatedly., Then, with his party, he left the thea ter and proceeded to the palace. The Premier bore up splendidly, and arriving at the hospital, asked his colleagues to convey a message to the Emperor expressing his devotion. "Tell him," said the wounded man, "I am ready to die for him." M. Stolypln then requested those at the -bedside to reassure his wife, and asked that a Driest be brought to him. At noon a bulletin was issued by the attending physicians describing tne nature of the wounds. "One bullet." the bulletin said, "was felt under the twelfth rib near the vertebrae. During the first hours there was a considerable loss or strenarth and great pain, which the Minister bore stoically. The first half of the night was disquieting. Toward morning there waa an improvement. Temperature 98., pulse $2." AGENT OF POLICE INVOLVED Man Stationed to Guard Premier Plotter A-Rainst His Idle. ST. PETERSBURG. Sept, 15. Though the temper of the population In the southern cities Is disquieting, no hint of an actual outbreak against the Jewa has yet reached St. Petersburg In definite form. The Reich, which has close relations with Jewish circles throughout Russia, thus far has re ceived no report of even minor dis orders, but it Is reported from other sources that a group of studente from the Kiev University today made a hos tile demonstration in front of the resi dence and office of Attorney Bogroff, father of M. Stolypln's assailant. There have been startling develop ments in the Inquiry at Kiev into the shooting of M. Stolypln. The inquiry has disclosed the crime to have been of revolutionary origin and carried out by an agent of the protective political police stationed In the theater to guard M. Stolypln. It Is declared that the first attempt at revival of terror Ism was planned by the executive committee of the Jewish band of So cial revolntlonista and Finnish revo lutionists, who. according to police of ficers, recently federated.

Dimitri Bogroff Is an orthodox Jew. He was graduated from Kiev Univer sity in 1906. During his course there the social revolutionary group, which entrusted to him in 1907 several serious commissions. He was selected for the second attempt on M. Stolypin'a life, but did not carry out his orders. In stead, he Informed the police and be trayed a large number of his com panions, using the tactics of Eugene Azef, who. in 1909, played the double role of leader of the revolutionary So cialist party and political spy to gain the confidence of the police chiefs. Like Azef, Bogroff, In this double role, was tolerated by the police as part of their scheme to maintain a per manent spy In the revolutionists' camp and obtain Information concerning the steps of the revolutionists. As a member of the central commit tee of the Social Revolutionary move ment, Bogroff visited St. Petersburg last Spring on business of his party and returned to Kiev September 8 to visit. In the protection of the Emperor. At the Inquiry today Bogroff declared he Intended to attempt to take the life of a higher personage than M. Stoly pln, but feared this would precipitate an outbreak against Jews. Bogroffs brother, Vladimir, was arrested here today. PARKfSOr, DENIES FRAUD VARSITY REFERENDUM SIGNA TURES GENUINE, HE SATS.
