RUlNOR OF TIL
OFNIKOLAILENIN
STILL PERSISTS

COPENHAGEN. January ga
Reports of the death of Nikolai
Lenin. the soviet Russian premier.
are persi sting. according to
Helsingfors dispatch to the Berlin
Gske Tidende. and the anti-bolshe-
vik press claims to have further
evidence of il. These newspapers
regard as significant, adds the dis
patch. the fact that Lenin has not
attended several recent meetings
o! the soviet government officiais,
all or which were presided over by
Leon Trotsky. minister Of war.
Recent rumors of the death or
Lenin apparently originated by
the fact that the death of an M.
karpon was announced from
Moscow and that this announce
ment was coupled abroad with the
OF Lenin's pseudonyms. 1t was ex-
planned later. however. that the
karpoff whose demise occurred
was a prominent Russian chemist
attached to Lenin's official Staff.
Still later reports. received by
way of the Helsingfors-Copen-
hagen route, asserted that Lenin
was i'll and had been ordered to
take long rest
Reports of the death of Lenin
and of armed attacks upon him
have been so frequent in the past
three years, only to be followed
the case of certain attempts upon
his life. that all such reports have
come to be received with decided
reserve.

.RAPs CALDER COAL BILL.

Because of its provision taxing coal
brokerage commissions as high as
80 per cent, the Calder bill to regu-
late the coal industry is the most
stupendioue aid to profiteering ever
devised" former Gov. Oakley c. Cur
tbs of Maine declared today before
the Senate committee considering the
measure. -, -
I'm just explaining why the coal
men are anxious to see this bill go
through" he said. 1T amounts to
a conspiracy between the government
and the profteers to raise the price
Of coal. It tempts men to profiteer.
AS a coal man, I've no objections.
but as a citizen I'm telling you what
it will do"
There's no coal man who can fg-
ure out all this bill will do" he
added. land the committee can't get
at all the details in seven weeks
or seven years. You're making a bill
that will put the price up out of
reason"

SAYS EUROPE CAN'T.
BAN j. S. MARKETS
Economic Expert Urges Tar
iffs-Says World Will Owe
Us $50, ,000, ,000, 900 Soon.

Europe's debt to the United States
will be increased to $4,000. .000.0 900 by
1924, George F. Warren. professor Of
economics at Cornell University, de-
clared today al tariff revision hear
ings by the house ways and means
committee. This sum, he said, will
include the ss.6O0.o00,000 wartime
borrowings from the American Treas
ury.
Mr.. Warren estimated that Euro
pean business now owed Ameri-
can firms nearly $4,000, 100000 and he
said that Europe must send her prod
ucts to this country irrespective Of
import duties. He especially urged
tariff on farm products, which he said
could be turned out cheaper overseas
than they can here.
Giving it as his opinion that the
rate of exchange would not improve
for some time. the witness said the
rates would tend to increase the Eu-
ropean debt danger.
The danger in the situation, the
witness added. was that the countries
deeply in debt might resort to dump
ing their commodities in the United
states markets regardless Of price.
He offered no method checking that.
however. excepting the use Of tariff
where available.

BEFORE SCHEDULE

By the Associated Press.

ROCKLEDGE. Fla, January 24.-A
game of golf here and possibly an
hour or two of fishing late in the aft
ernoon on the Indian river grounds to
the south supplied today the first real
recreation of President-elect Hard
ing's houseboat trip down the Florida
coast
The boat Victoria. on which he is
making his cruise. spent the night at
anchor a few miles north of Rock
ledge. She was so far ahead of her
schedule that it was said the Presi-
dent-elect and his party might re-
main overnight at hotel here. but
his companions on the Victoria
thought it more likely that he would
choose to sleep aboard. so as to per-
nit an early start tomorrow morn
ing.
He is anxious to complete the south
ward journey to Miami while the
water is good. and expects to travel q
more leisurely schedule on the return
trip.
Takes Automobile Ride.
The Victoria made the first stop Of
her voyage at Ormond Beach yester-
day and disembarked her passengers
for a two-hour motor ride along the
Florida East Shore boulevard The
stop here and a brief tie-up when the
Victoria tried to go through the Or
mond drawbridge were the only Incl
dents on the log of the houseboat
during peaceful Sundays sailing.
During the automobile ride Mr.
Harding and his companions drove
into Daytona. eight miles from here,
and brought back Senator A. b. Cum
minis OF Iowa. who has been at4a Day
tona hotel aud who will make the re-
mainder~ ofs-fhe houseboat trip as =
member OF the vacation party.
Under hot sun the President-elect
came. ashore wearing white woolens
and straw hat. His visit attracted
little attention, though the Victoria
docked within . stones throw of
big tourist hotel Details Of his yaca-
ton trip had been kept confidential
Boat Sticks in Mud.
The trouble at the drawbrfdRe oc-
CURED soon afterward and held mn
the Victoria for more than an hour
She attempted the passage at too
shallow point and stuck in the mud
In such a. position that the bridge
could not be closed until her little en-
gine had forced a way out inch by
inch. Meantime more than a score OF
automobiles were held up and a crowd
of, several hundred gathered on the
bridge and cheered the houseboat
when she finally extracted herself.
At no time was the Victoria in a dan
gerous potion, and although her rud-
der was slightly damaged, her master
said the injury was not serious.

UNWILLING TO CALL
DISARMAMENT FARLEY
Special Dispatch to The Star,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla, January
24.-President-elect Harding feels IT
is entirely up to President Wilson as
to whether or not an international
disarmament conference shall be
called prior to the time Mr.. Harding
becomes chief executive on March 4.
Senator Harding scrupulously has re-
Trained from attempting in any wav
to assume any of the responsibilities
of government in advance Of his in
auguration. He will decline now to he
placed in the position of assuming TO
dictate or recommend what the pres
ent administration should do.
The controversy between Senator
there should be postponement Of
the proposed disarmament conferences
until after March has reached the
President-elect only in fragmentary
form and he is not likely to take any
official cognizance of it inasmuch as
neither Mr Root nor the senator from m
Idaho is in a position to speak for
Mr.. Harding. Mr.. Harding is efiov-
ing his houseboat cruise down the
Indian river and. as he himself has
expressed it. is temporarily "away
from the world and away from care !"
He said he would like to be away
from the newspapers IL he only '.conId
dare. but the journals of current han
penings reached him yesterday after
noon and again today as the Victoria
lay on Ormond. just south of here,
and it was from these that he learned
OF the Borah-Root controversy.
Senate Not to Initiate,
There is only one way by which
an international conference to con-
slider disarmament or any other sub.
ject can officially be called bv the
United States. and that is throueh
invitation OF the President. Although
say what the international relations
of the United States shall or shall
not be. that body is not vet vested
with the right to initiate foreign ar
rangements; 1t can only approve
ments as the President himself shall
make. 1t would seem. therefore. tha
it is up to Mr.. Wilson rather ths ~
to Mr. Root or Borah to say whether
or not the disarmament conference
or congress Shall be called before
When this matter first was una.-
discussion, and attention was caIied
to the fact that the President. under
was authorized and empowered to-
call disarmament conference. q
statement came out of Washineton
that Mr.. Wilson very likely wouId
refrain from calling such confer
ence in the last six weeks of his
administration lest his action might
in some manner embarrass the in
coming President. The statement. Of
course was unofficial. but it was.
nevertheless brought to the atten-
ton of Mr.. Harding at Marion
The latter said at the time that nc
had heard nothing definite about the
matter, but that II Mr.. Wilson should
decline to call the conference on the
grounds stated. he thought it would
be very becoming Of him." Mr.. Hard.
ing said he would be glad to call such
