Work was begun with the aid of dynamite to break the frozen ground, for a temporary mausoleum in Red square in which the body of Xicolai Lenine will be placed after the funeral ceremonies Sunday. The mausoleum will be deep cellared especially built to pre serve a uniform temperature, will be lighted by electricity, and by means of a mirrored ceiling" the casket will be visible at all times. Again today there was a.con-d tlnuous march of people through the house of unions to visit the body of the soviet premier. Up to tonight the number of those who passed through the chamber was placed at almost half a mil lion. Peasants and workers con tinue to arrive in the capital from distant points to swell the long lines awaiting entrance to the house of unions. Two diverging viewpoints have appeared concernins the ultimate disposition of the body of Leniue. The workmen in several factories have sent a petition to the gov ernment asking that the body be placed beneath the ground and suggesting some arrangement whereby it always would be vis ible. Health Commissary Seraash ko is advocating temporary pre servation having in view crema tion later when a special crema tory is constructed in Moscow, as an hygienic example to the people. Cremation is treated by the Rus sian people generally as heretical, as is shown by the fact that not a cremation has taken place in Moscow. Bible to Be Quoted on The Subject of Tobacco At the "free for all" meeting tonight Envoy Inman will quote and give the chapter and verse of what is said to be the only verse in the Bible where God approves of tobacco.

Night after night there are results and the different subjects that he takes are word pictures from the battle field of life. It Is proving the exception to see the number of young men who are coming to hear this old Indian fighter preach the gospel. His very appearance seem3 to make his hearers doubt that he is past "3 years ot age. The meetings will continue every night excepting Monday. A coTdial invitation is extended to all.

British Labor Leaders Deny Immediate Action (By Tie Asoclated Presi) LONDON, Jan. 25. Although one of the main planks in the la bor party's platform during its rapid rise to power in recent years has been full recognition of the Russian sovjet government, it was made clear in ministerial cir cles today that the labor cabinet had not yet taken any formal de cision for an immediate exchange of ambassadors. . . T As far as the officials at the foreign-office would go today was to say it wa's the government s in. tention to reestablish diplomatic relations with, Moscow as early a3 was practicable, and that the machinery to accomplish that end would soon be set in motion. Political observers expressed the opinion that: the British gov ernment, unlike the Washington government, will NOT demand in advance from Russia guarantees regarding international debts, the cessation of propaganda, the restor ation of property and the like.

Simultaneously with the disclosure today in the senate oil inquiry of another unpaid loan to Former In terior Secretary Fall, the White House made known that President Cooiidge was preparing to take every action to protect the public interest and to punish those guilty of any wrongdoing. Before the same committee be fore which E. L. Doheny, Califor nia oil magnate told yesterday he had loaned Mr. Fall $100,000 on his personal note while Fall was secretary ot the interior J. W- Zev ely, council to Harry F- Sinclair, testified today that Mr. Sinclair had loaned Mr. Fall $25,000 in liberty bonds on a personal note three months after he retired from the cabinet. Loan Venr Old As the testimony now stands, the Doheny loan was made, more than a year before the Doheny in terests obtained the lease of the Elk Hills, Cal., naval reserve, while Sinclair's loan was made more than a year after the Sin clair interests received the lease of the Teapot Dome, Wyoming re serve. Developments in the senate in quiry were discussed today by the cabinet. .Afterwards the president was represented officially as re garding some of the testimony as nointine to criminal action. The executive is reluctant to believe that any one has been guilty ot any criminal intent, but he feels that the evidence already adduced requires legislation and investiga tion. In the president's ' view, two questions already are indicated. One. and the most important, is the bringing to justice any one who has dealt with the situation m any way that is In violation of the criminal laws; the other is to see whether the government has suf fered any inquiries by reason of the oil reserve leases. If the leases do not Seem prop er, action looking to their annul ment will be taken. With respect to possible crim inal phases of the matter, it was made clear that there was no dis position to lump at conclusions; that investigations must be made hv the nroDer authorities to see where any criminal action would lie. It was pointed out that crim final action could not be stated on rumors; that substantial evidence which could be presented to a grand Jury and at a trial would be required. Roosevelt Recalled Having received evidence orf two loans to Fall, the senate commit tee will turn Ms attention next to a further effort to clear up testi mony regarding cancelled checks Of the Hyva corporation a Sin clair concern for $68,000 and al leged to have been drawn in favor of Thomas Johnson, foreman of Mr. Fall's Ne Mexico ranch. Archie Roosevelt and G. Dl Wab.1- berg, Sinclair's secretary will be recalled tomorrow in this phase of the inquiry. But the committee will be di verted only temporarily from the $100,000 and $25,000 loans. Mr. Fall will be asked next Monday to explain these and other of his financial transactions. While Mr. Zevely was telling of the $25,000 loan' in June, 1923, the former secretary was secluded in the Zevely home here under the care of a physician. He declined to make any statement; and de clared he .had made nono regard ing the Doheny testimony. 'Mr. Zevely testified tnt the Sin clair loan to Mr. Fall was made just before the former secretary sent to Russia to inquire into con cessions in tne lower Sakhalin peninsula, in which Mr. Sinclair had negotiated-with ihe Chita government. The money was to be used, lie said, in purchasing further additions to the Fall ranch property, but he was unable to say whether it bad been so used., The loan negqtiated through Mr Zevely who said Mr. Wahl- " (Continued on page 2) MOONSHINE FUMES PROVE MAN'S DEATH Still Located in Concrete Well Proves Fatal to Ice Cut ter at Yakima YAKIMA, Jan. 25.
