CLAIM LENIN DEAD
Soviet Russian Premier Has
Not Attended Meetings.
Leon Trotzky Now Presides at

Copenhagen, Jan. 24.-Reports of the
death of Nikoi Lenin, the soviet Rus

dence of it.
These newspapers regard as signifi-
can't, adds the dispatch the fact that
Lenin has not attended several recent
meetings of the soviet government Of
ficjals, all of which were presided over
by Leon Trotzky-
Recent rumors of the death of Le-
rim apparently originated by the fact
that the death of an IN. Karpoff" was
announcement was coupled abroad
with the statement that Karpoff was
one of Lenin's pseudonyms.
1t was explained later, however,
that the Karpoff whose demise oc-
Cured was a prominent Russian
chemist attached to Lenin's official
staff. Still later reports, received by
way of the Helsingfors- Copenhage gen
route. asserted that Lenin was i'll and
had been ordered to take a long rest.
Reports of the death of Lenin and
of armed attacks upon him have been
so frequent in the last three years,
only to be followed by authentic refu
tation, except in the case of certain at
tempts upon his life, that all such re-
ports have come to be received with
decided reserve.

!. A rumor started last week, to the
effect that Sarah and Nellie kouns
have cancelled their engagement IN
Topeka, is denied today by Ralph Hol-
land, manager of the concert course,
of which the Kouns recital is part.
The Kouns concert was scheduled to
be held here February Is, but was
changed last week to March Is. &C
cording to Mr.. Holland and this he
declares is the only basis for the
rumor.
II received a wire from Daniel
Mayer, manager in New York for the
Kouns sister, asking me if it would be
possiblet to accept a later Topeka date"
said Mr.. Holland, explaining the post
ponement. Mr.. Mayer said that the
IEouns sisters had contracted ten con-
certs and three opera engagements at
the Champs Elysees opera house in
Paris and in Cannes and wanted to de-
lay their American engagement. 1
agreed to the postponement and 1
guess the cancellation of the Febru-

which 1 am glad to say is false"
