Delegates to Berlin By Associated I’rpwt f Paris, Jan. 22.—The experts com mittee which, under the chairman ship of Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, is dealing with the German budget, today took the most important step yet made toward a settlement of the reparation question when it decided to report In favor of establishing a German gold bank as the first essen tial stabilization of German money and balancing the German budget. Great significance is attached to tho fact that the communique an nouncing tlie decision of the commit tee was referred to Dr. Hjalmar Schaclit, president of the relchsbank,' who gave it his approval. This is taken as justifying the assumption that tile German banker and the ex perts are in accord on this point at least. The decision of the experts, if it is approved by the reparation commis sion, amounts to a recommendation for an international loan, part of the funds to guarantee the gold value of the money of "the new bank along with German owned foreign money. The coupling of German capital abroad with an international loan for this purpose is regarded as a clever expedient to induce Germany to make an effort to get back into that country, capital exported abroad. Foreign co-operation In the manage ment of the bank as re- omtnended by by the committee a'so is regarded as an important feature that would give confidence to money issued by the hank since outside participation would amount to insurance against new inflation. That the experts con if aider they made a wide step forward is indicated by the fact that they pur l.use to transfer the seat of their ac tivities from Paris to Berlin a week from tomorrow. Bryan Entering Race for Governor Starts Political W heels By K. H. PETERS, Staff Correspondent Tlie Omalm llee, Lincoln, .fan. 22.—Nebraska's pollt I-al pot, which has been gently sim mering for several months, began to bubble anil boll today. Charles W. Bryan and George W. Norris were the cause, the governor announcing that lie will be a candidate for re-election, ind the supporters of Norris declar ing that tlie senator’s filing fee lias hern paid at McCook and petitions will lie filed as soon as the receipt for the fee can reach Lincoln. There was little auiprlsc expressed here at tlie governor's announcement. For three weeks, there has been a steady increasing belief that he would not contest for the senatorshlp, and that belief was greatly strengthened ns the Impression that Norris would again be a candidate gained ground. The filing' fee at McCook was not paid bv tlie senator, but It may be said with considerable certainty, that he will not disappoint his petitioners, who are reported to number in ex . f»s.s of 6,000. Coincident with the announcement of Bryan and the supporters of Nor i*ia js increased activity for Coolldge and Hiram Johnson by their backers in the state. Frank Harrison, who managed Johnson's Nebraska campaign In 1920, is here from California, although It Is improbable he will again art for John son in Nebraska. A slate of dele gates, who will stand with Johnson il,rough the national convention fight, If they are elected, is being prepared. Frank 1’. Corrick. campaign man -ujp,. for < 'alvln Coolldge, is laying till- foundation for a Coolldge in structed delegation. It is expected that petitions circulated for the 19 dele gates and their alternates, who will support the president, will carry the name of t'oolidge ns well. Treumore < 'one Is the only demo L-r.it who has filed for senator. On tlie assumption that Norris will accept the filing to be made for him. Ii is a general Impression that <’. II. Gu»tufa<>n will contest the republican nomination for governor with Adam McMullen and A. N. Mathers. Many look for Gustofson to file at prac tically the same time Norris sends bb acceptance to the secretary of state. Wyinore Brakcman Injured in Wyoming Kail Accident \Vyniore, Neb . Jan. 22.

Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bcc. Lincoln, Jan. 22.—Governor Charles \V. Bryan announced today that he will be a candidate for re-election. Following the announcement, he is sued a lengthy statement In which he outlined the platform on which he will run. The issues are substantially those of his previous campaign. The governor's statement follows: "It is injr present intention to^ stand as candidate for nomination for governor. 1 have Iteen considering the issues which will probably be up permost in the minds of the voters of the state and also the availability of candidates who have been identi fied with the issues. "I have been of open mind as to whether I would be a candidate for the senatorshlp. for the governorship, or whether T should stand as a can didate at all in the campaign. Kconomic Issue Foremost. "I am deeply Interested in the com ing campaigns, both state and na-| tlonal, and believe the coming cam paign will he fought along economic lines. The question of whether tax payers in this great agricultural sec tion of the country will control the state and national government, as their number and importance Justi fies them in doing, or whether prof iteers and tax-eaters should control the government, is, in my mind, the issue which will be uppermost in the minds of the voters. “The progress which has been made in this state during the last 12 months in reducing taxes, reducing number of useless employes who have been lying on the taxpayers' hacks, and reducing the cost of liv ing, has not only been of service to the state, hut is attracting interest and attention throughout the United Hears Call. ‘‘With the needs of the agricultural classes and wage earners who are dependent on the success of agricul ture to have consideration of a form of government settled by repeal of the code so that It cannot again be used to double expenses of the state and build up a political machine; with the repeal of the intangible tax law, which has shifted more than t half million dollars In taxes from the hacks of the financiers to the backs of tfie farmers, home owners and business houses; with the de velopment of editor power so that users of electric current ran pur chase it at. a reasonable price and not pay tribute fo great power com panics who are gathering , up water power sites and selling current to the farmers at 20 cents a kilowatt when It could be sold at less than ii cents* cutting out'of fads and Imps in the state government; the passage of legislation to encourage and pro mote co-operative marketing and buying and other needed legislation that will not only give agriculture, but other wage earner!* of the state, their just share of what they pro duce, I feel that I can, with wluit appears to be the present lineup of candidates of other political |>arties, he of more service In standing fo;' renomination and re election as gov ernor than f * ild as candidate for United States t iteor. Nltiial. Chaotic. “The political situation nationally Is so chaotic that It Is not possible at this time to determine what the national Issues may be or what would be the most available candi date for United Slates senator who would be of moat service In the. com ing years, but there Is no doubt In my mind as to what the isauss should ha and will tie In Nebraska, and un less something appears In the very nenr future nationally whirl* would entirely alter the eituatlon In this state, f will file for renonllnatlnn anil continue tho fight I have been mak ing for tho common people of this stale, IrrJfcpectlve of parties.“ The governor today also replied to a telegram received from W.

"Comrades, our great Lenin is no longer with us," he cried. The huge audience seemed petri fied, and it was as though all breath ing had stopped for a moment. At Kalinin's right. Zinoviev with his hair dishevered and collar awry, plain ly showing the effects of a harrow ing night watching and waiting for the expected end, tried to dry his flowing tears, while Kamenev, bury ing his face, and other leaders, shook with emotion. The official bulletin announcing the death at his country home of the president of the council of the peo ple's commissars (the Russian soviet government) was issued at 3:25 this morning. It was signed by Health Commissar Semashko and five other physicians, and read: Doctor’s Statement. "A sudden sharp turn for the worse in the condition of Comrade Lenin oc curred January 21. "At half past 5 his breathing was interrupted and this was followed by a period of unconsciousness and con vulsions. “At 6:50 p. m. Lenin expired, show ing symptoms of paralysfs of the breathing organs." The soviet cabinet conferred upon plans for the funeral, which will be held Saturday. The greatest public demonstration of sorrow Russia lias ever known in its history is anticipated.

"Washington, Jan. 22.—Prosecution of ail guilty persons and return to the navy of Teapot Dome oil reserves was decided upon today by President Cool* idge. This was disclosed by Attorney Gen eral Harry M. Daugherty after a long conference at the White House with the president. The attorney general also revealed for the first time that Department of Justice agents have been investigat ing every phase of the lease for the last three weeks and had started their inquiry long before the senate com mittee got under way. No matter how high the station of those who may he involved In the transaction, Attorney General Daugh erty declared, they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. To Show No Favors. The attorney general issued this statement: "The Department of Justice Is cloee ly observing the testimony or pro ceedings before the senate committee and has been making some investiga tions on its own account during the time the committee Investigation has been under way. "In pursuance of custom the De partment of Justice awaits the action of the senate committee. Except in extraordinary cases where the evi dence is sufficient the Department of Justice does not interfere with the congressional committee, and awaits the result and recommendation of the committee. This does not mean that the depart ment would wait until the Investiga tion is concluded when the evidence is competent to lay before a grand jury', hr court, and in the opinion of the department showed the commis sion of a crime and is believed to be sufficient to secure a conviction. Has Plenty of Kvidonce. ‘Tn this or any other case the De partment of Justice welcomes the of fer of any testimony to show a vio lation of the law and no matter who the person is. the same course will be followed and with the same promptness." It was at this point that Attorney General Daugherty departed from hi* forma! statement to say t-hat agents began an independent investigation because of suspicions about the par ticular case and that considerable evidence has actually been gathered. He said that trained investigators had been following up various leads that are taking them Into every part of the country where evidence may be revealed of financial transactions, or it is believed that there are per sons who may know something of any possible unusual circumstances of the lease.
