justment of power, both in the officia
grouping Soviet regime and in the-un
official party organization behind it
which has discounted the probable loss
to party and government councils of
the leader.
Actual control, both of the political
machinery and of governmental agen-
cies in Russia. is expected to be con-
fined in the hands of triumvirate,
headed by Kameneff, vice-president Of
the Soviet regime. Kameneff has been
exercising in an acting capacity most
of the powers of Lenine since the lat
ter's illness which virtually incapaci-
tated him many months ago for active
leadership.
When Lenine was taken i'll, group
of seven men in the communist regime
exercised supreme power, both in the
government and in the party. Lenine
headed the group and next to him in
authority stood Kamenetf, the others
being Trotzky, Rykov, Tomsky, Stain
and Zinoviev. 1t was through the
hands of this group that the power of
the revolution was welded.
Gradually since Lenine's illness drew
him out of the active circle, a division
of opinion has arisen within the COM
munist party as to whether there
should continue a dictatorship with po-
litical power vested in the hands of a
few men, or whether the source Of
power should be drawn from a much
wider field and be more that of a rep
resentative government.

INJUNCTION Is
ANSWERED TODAY
Affidavit Filed in Court by
DOrfman, Whose Build
ing Was Stopped.
CHARGES RACE MALICE

An affidavit, in answer to the tenn
porary injunction which held up the
work on his store building at the cor
ner of Lyman avenue and Middle street
was filed today in circuit court by Sam
uel Dorfman. In his affidavit, he
claims that the injunction was the re-
suit of race prejudice, rather than the
desire Of, residents of the neighborhood
to prevent the Building of the store.
He set forth the fact that he had
made application, for a building per-
nit before the passage of the coming
ordinance which restricted the location.
The matter he pointed out had been
referred to committee, and later the
city council, which granted the per-
nit which calls for two story store
and flat building worth $4,000
He said that he had purchased the
property before there was any talk of
coming ordinance, and that with the
issuance of the building permit, his
rights in the matter had vested.
Would Lose Money.
If an injunction should be granted,
he said that he would lose more than
$4,000 which he has already spent in
building the foundation and part of
the. super-structure of the building. He
further said, that he had let the con-
tract, paid the architect for the draw
ing of the plans, and that if the work
was stopped he would lose more than
$1,000 a year rent from the plat.
A. E. Buckmaster who granted the
temporary injunction, while sitting as
court commissioner, will appear as
Dorfman's attorney when arguments
against the injunction are granted.

cow, where he had been living in re-
tirement. 1t came after sudden turn
for the worse, eliminating in a stroke
which paralyzed his respiratory organ
ism. The announcement of the death
was made by the All-Russian Soviet
this morning.
Representatives of foreign diplomat
ic missions and others with whom the
correspondent talked after the an
nouncement, agreed in expressing the
opinion that Lenine's death would prob
ably produce, no general disquiet in
Russia, but nevertheless would have an
important political effect. So long as
he was alive, although not actively par
ticipating in the government, he was
at least its. titular head and his death
now opens the position to other leaders.
Comes Unexpectedly.
News of his death came unexpectedly
at this time to the great maj GRITTY, as
the most recent reports had been that
he was considerably improved in
health. While there has been continu-
Gus anxiety for his condition since he
was stricken in June, 1922, public at
tention has lately been more directed
to the differences among the commun-
list party leaders and particularly to
the status of Leon Trotzky, who it was
recently announced, was in poor health
and had gone away for a rest.
Little has been said publicly in Sow
let official quarters lately of Lenine's
condition, but that little seemed to be
of a hopeful nature, and it was not
long ago that some of the associates
of his active days were predicting that
he would soon he able to advise with
the council of ministers.
Upon the death of the premier the
higher Soviet officials here were i'm
mediately informed, but the public re-
manned in ignorance of the sad news
until preparations had been completed
for their notification through an Off
cial bulletin.
Funeral March is Announcement.
AS the All-Russian Soviet gathered
in regular session in the great Moscow
theatre this morning, only few of the
delegates knew what had happened.
NJ. Kalenin, president of the all-Rus-
sian central executive committee, APP
peared on the platform in the presence
Of all the leaders, such as Zinovieff
and Kamineff, and asked the audience
to rise.
Suddenly from behind the scenes,
trumpeters sounded the first bar of a
funeral march and then there was a
moment of impressive silence, broken
here and there by sobs. Almost over
come with emotion, M. Kalenin, who~is
the nominal president of Soviet Rus
STA, said he had to make sorrowful
announcement.
vladimir Hitch, who recently gave
hopes Of improvement" he said, "had
yesterday sharp turn for the worse"
Glitch was Lenine's real name.) The
delegates waited with bated breath as
the peasant president" proceeded:
"At about $3.50 o'clock his respiration
became difficult; commissions followed
and at $3.50 o'clock he expired"
Tears rolled down many bearded
cheeks and the sobbing became general.
1T is difficult for me to speak," NJ.
Kalenin continued "Our sole aim
must now be to retain those gains of
which Lenine was the creator"

Kansas City is
After More Facts
Wants to Know How Kenosha is Pros
pering Under the City Manager
Form of Government.

That many cities are watching he-
nosha was evidenced Tuesday when
Conrad Shearer, secretary of the Ke-
nosha Manufacturers association, re-
ceived a letter from the Kansas City
Chamber of Commerce asking Tor
statement regarding the progress
which Kenosha has made under the
city manager form of government.
Kansas City is to vote soon on whether
or not it will adopt city manager
form of government and the infofma-
ton is sought as a statement from
a Kenosha citizen regarding what has
been done here.
The questions asked are interesting;
they are as follows:
Haxe the taxpayers received more
service for each dollar paid in taxes
than they did under the old form of
government?
Has the government been more re-
sponsive to public opinion?
Has politics played less important
part in the letting of contracts and in
the hiring and discharging of enT-
ployees?
To what extent does partisan poll
ties enter in the election of the mem
bers of the council or commission and
in its selection of a city manager?
Is there any strong sentiment for
returning to the old plan?
If so, what are the chief objections ?
Secretary Shearer in answering, de-
clared that in his opinion Kenosha
was satisfied with sits business ad-
ministration devoid of politics" under
the city manager form Of government.
He contrasted. the difference between
this and the old aldermanic form,
pointing out that he had served as an
alderman and could for that reason
speak authoritatively. He declared
that the city Was positively getting
more for its tax dollar now as demon
strated by the difference in paving
costs and the improvements which had
been carried on without an increase
in the tax levy. He told how the new
government had met the requests of
the taxpayers for improvements.
Z, Regarding whether or not thsre was
any sentiment for return to the old
system, he declared that no doubt
there were .some-and there always
would be sonle---who opposed the ex-
isting state of affairs and that prob
ably these would call for q vote on
the question at the end of four years.
In his opinion, however, the majority
of the people of Kenosha were satisfied.
