LENIN AND BOLSHEVISM
SOON TO DIE IN RUSSIA

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. a.
(By United Press.)-"There will
be two important deaths in Rus
STA comparatively SOON according to
Count Iya Tolstoy. who was in San
Francisco for lecture today. "One
of them is Bolshevism. while the
other Is Lenin.
"Bolshevism will not exist after
Lenin is gone" believes the noted
Russian, ''and his health is falling
rapidly-softening of the brain. ply
sicians declared.
II don't know what will happen
then. Some say a revolution. Others
think there will be gradual read
justment. 1t is a question l cannot
answer.
: Comparative statistics show that
only a small percentage of products
formerly produced are being crown
now. The peasants have no desire
to take from the soil more than
the most meager existence. If they
do. the Reds come and take 1t away
from them"

More Hog Meat Being
Eaten, Report Shows

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-More meat
was consumed in the United States last
year than In any previous year. the de-
partment of agriculture announced today.
The total consumption was estimated at
1888. 900, 900 pounds. which amounts to
1897 pounds per person apply the July
/, 1922 estimate of population. The per
capita consumption showed an increase Of
6 pounds over 1921 and 81 pounds over
1920.
Coupled with the decrease in the ex-
ports and somewhat higher prices to pur-
these figures evidence a satisfactory state
OF the home market, due doubtless to the
prosperous condition and better purchas-
ing power of the people generally"
The average meat bill per person In
1922, according to the estimates. was for

department announced. The 67.050,745
hogs slaughtered in 1922 yielded over
1900, 100000 pounds Of meat and 2sss.-
est production of lard on record, and as
the exports, although considerable, were
less than in 1921, it follows that the total
consumption also was highest. The per
capita consumption, however. was exceeded
in 1916.
The adverse conditions of foreign ex-
change and the poorer purchasing power
OF European countries have seriously af-
fected the exports OF meat products.
Lard alone. chiefly through the re-entry
of Germany as large purchaser since the
war has held commanding position in
foreign trade. Exports of lard were high
est on record in 1921, totaling s93, 100000
pounds, and while they fell away 100, 000,-
600 pounds last year the total was second
highest. Great Britain is the chief Gus
toner for American lard, and Germany is

NEW INAUGURAL BILL
ACCORDED APPROVAL

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-(By
United Press.)- change in the date
of inaugurating new Presidents and
converting newly elected Congresses
was brought step nearer today
when the House elections committee
favorably reported the Norris resolu-
tion in virtually the same form as
passed by the Senate. The resolution
submits a constitutional amendment
to the states. fixing the new date as
the first Monday in January instead
of March for the Inauguration and
the first Monday in December for the
recovering of Congress.
The principal change eliminates an
ambiguity in language which might
have allowed the country to have two
Presidents from January to March.
Efforts will be made to obtain final
action at this session.

Gang Murders Connected.

New York police, who began an in
dependent investigation protested to
find a direct connection between the
counterfeit plot and many hitherto
unsolved gang murders of the past
few years.
Several OF the murders were be-
lieved to have resulted from passage
of bogus money and from double
crossing in the ranks of the counter
feiters. A number of crimes, it was
said, had been committed in or near
the Broome Street cafe owned by
John Dirosa, arrested yesterday as
one of the rings large wholesalers OF
counterfeits.
Palma agreed that scores of I'M
portant criminals were in the ranks
of the counterfeiters.
Immigrants unfamiliar with Amer
lean money, he said. were the easiest
victims. but the gang also hunted out
small stores kept by aged women
and stores left at times in charge of
children.
