Herr Krnpp had been 111 for i several days and a report of his condition was telegraphed dallj to his wife who had been several months In Jena under iredi- cal treatment.:; Concerned by the latest dispatches regarding her husband Frau Krupp left Jena yesterday . accompanied by Profecsor Bins wenger, of the mtdical faculty of the ontvereity there. She will reach Eesen early Bnnday morning. ; According to the medical reports, his physicians succeeded In restoring Heir Krupp to consciousness but his patient soon ' relapsed into lnsans'.bll'nj-. He died at 8 o'clock. . In the meantime the directors of the Krupp works and Herr Krupp'e solici tors had been summoned. They held 4 consultatlon'after his death and caused a bulletin announcing his demise' ta; be posted at the works at 6. o'clock. : At about noon rumors "were In circulation In Essen that Herr Krupp Was' dying', but the publia had no accurate informa tion regarding his condition until the great works which dominate the eity and furnish employment to great many (43.000) men -were closed. The first question that , everybody - asked was : " Did Herr Krupp commit suicide? " , 1 There seemed to be no testimony to support this suggestion, the physicians in attendance4 resolutely asserting that the case was simply oca of apoplexy.

' The officials and employes of the Krupp works yesterday called a public meeting if or today with the object ol ex pressing their Indignation at the charges made by the Vorwaerts. The . meeting assembled at 11:30 -o'clock this morning but before a deputation -could be ap pointed to convey Herr K-Pupp expres sions of Hoyalty and confidence, ft was learned that his condition was too serious for him to receive such a deputation.
