Mistaking the palatial residence
of James b. Russell. banker, for
the city jail. a stranger In
maudlin condition late last night
gave the financier a startling ex-
perience.
Mr.. Russell was sitting in his
library reading a magazine when
he felt the presence Of another
person in the room. Glancing up
he was shocked to see reclining In
an armchair a man he had never
seen before. Asked who he was,
what he was doing in the house,
and how he got in, the man re-
piled. isn't this the jail!" When
assured 1t was a private residence
he got up and staggered away.

LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED.
Lenin. Long Out Of Power. Russian
Students Here Say.

Closest students here OF Russian po-
Iitical Developments do not expect
any radical change IN conditions in
Russia to result Immediately frcm
the death Of Lenin:
The long illness of the man who has
been at the head of the Russian reyo-
tton has served to permit q readjust-
rnent of power, both in the offtcia |
grouping of the soviet regime and in
the unofficial party organization be-
PROBABLE loss to party and govern
mental councils OF the leader.
Actual control. both OF the political
machinery and of governmental
agencies in Russia, IS expected to be
umvirate, headed by Kamenev, vice
president both of the soviet OF peo-
ples commissars and of the fedora
ton of soviet republics.
Kamenev has been exercising in an
acting capacity most Of the powers OF
Lenin since the latter's illness virtual
" incapacitating him many months ago
for active leadership.
When Lenia was taken ii a group OF
seven men in the communist regime
exercised supreme power both in the
government and in the party. Lenin
headed the group, and next him in au-
thority stood kamenev, the others be
ing Trotzky, EykoE, TonlShT. Stain
and Zinoviey. 1t was through the
hands of this group that the power OF
the revolution was welded.
Gradually, since Lenin's illness drew
him out of the active circle, j. division
of opinion has arisen within the COM
munist party as TO whether there
should continue a dictatorship, with
political power vested in the hands Of
q few men or whether the source of
power should be drawn from a much
wider field and be more that Of rep
rcSentative government.

CAREER OF LENIN.
Dead Premier Man of Force, Cour-

Nikolai Lenin. lawyer. pamphlet
eer, and, finally, dictator Of all Rus
s,a, was the organizer and chief ex-
ponent of the movement which be-
came known as bolshevism and
which he characterized as "the great
experiment, the dictatorship Of the
proletariat.
The career OF this short, plump.
bald-headed little man was full OF
real name was Vladimir Hitch Ulia-
noff. He was born April "a, 1870, in
Simbirsk, of a bourgeois family with
a pronounced Tartar strain, reflected
in his high cheek bones and slightly
slanting, cynical eyes. His father
was a school teacher. Lenin him
self attended the high school at Sim
brisk and by a strange coincidence
his principal was the father OF Alex
ander Kerensky, whom Lenin after
ward overthrow to become premier
of Russia.
Was StudiOus Pupil.
The spirit of revolution against the
car entered into practically every
Russian school in those days. and
Lenin, with some of his companions,
is said to have smuggled the works
of Karl Marx into the school and to
fear Of discovery that American
schoolboys have of being caught with
a dime novel hidden behind their
biographies. NJ. Kerensky reported
that Lenin was a studious pupil and
shy in his relations with his school
mates. When Lenin was seventeen
his oldest brother, Alexander Uliaroff,
was sentenced to death and hanged
for an attempt upon the life of Gear
Alexander III.
His active revolutionary work be-
gan in the early COS, when he entered
the University of Kazan, from which
he was expelled one month later for
participating in students revolu-
tionary movement. Then he moved
to Petrograd, attended the univer-
sity and studied for a lawyers de-
gree.
He spent more time in revolutions
airy propaganda among Petrograd
workmen than at his studies. He
was arrested and deported to Siberia.

Lenin was married, but had no
children. His wife, NJ. K. Oulianova,
commonly known as. "Krupskaya,"
plain little woman with thin iron
gray hair, stood shoulder TO shoulder
with him through the most important
period in his career. He also had a
sister, who shared in his political for
tune.
Lenin never was a horny handed
son Of toll himself, but rather an
intellectual, and those whom he put
in power in the council Of commissars
were likewise more of educated
dreamers than practical working men.
Fearless Of Bullets.
Lenin was personally courageous
and impatient of the guard that his
advisers insisted upon putting about
him, despite the fact that he carried
for several years the bullet fired into
his neck by Dora Kaplan, this young
socialist revolutionary, who, In Sep
tember, 1918, attempted to assassinate
him and nearly succeeded.
Several other attempts upon his life
were made during the revolution.
While he was carrying Dora Kap-
lan's bullet, he always laughed off
any warnings by remarking that Il
have plenty of lead in my backbone

During all the darkest days Of the
civil war and red terror, whensmany
OF his associates lost their nerve,
Lenin was able to laugh and joke
