the concession granted an American
irm. h Siems-Carey company, of ST.
Paul for an extension of the l<algan
railway, which would run through ter
rltory north Of the Chinese wall, must
be understood as explained by the Rus

the subjects of foreign powers, other
than Russia, railway concessions in the
region north of the wall.

Tillers of Soil in Connecti- cut Journey to N. J.,
 Attend Event.

New York, Oct. 20.-To-morrow, which will be Farmer Day at Shadow Lawn. will be distinguished by the attendance of special com mittee of the Farmers National Con- gress which adopted yesterday at In- dianapolis resolutions of appreciation of the services of the Wilson admin istration to farmers of this country. A telegram from Indianapolis an- nounced to-day the appointment of this Committee by President H. B. Stockbridge, with Frank G. Odel. member of the Farmers Executive Committee, as spokesman.
 Before the Presidents departure for the west, Arrangements were dents Saturday reception a regular old-fashion farmers picnic-a day with the President which will be long remembered. Farmers being pros porous under the Wilson administra- tion, hundreds of them will attend from New Jersey by automobile. No formal invitations have been issued, but every farmer who can attend is invited to the Presidents reception and reports from agricultural dis JTlCCS III NcW jersey, EAdSIeIH II I olH- sylvania, New York and Connecticut, indicate that the pilgrims will be numerous.
 George P. Hampton, editor of the Farmers Open Forum and secretary of the Rural Credit League of Amer ica, said to-day that the Farmers Day with the President should prove a red letter feature of the campaign.
 "The farmers of the whole country have been looking forward with in- tense interest to what the President shall say to them on this occasion. They feel it will be his last word to them before election and that they may expect to learn direct from him whether the Rural Credit law is gold brick as charged by the Repub- licans; whether the Eight-Hour Law is an injustice to the farmer. and whether the Democratic legislation for the farmer is as worthless as the Republicans are saying it is.
 From as far as the Pacific Coast I have received reports that the Changers are planning gatherings to study the Presidents address. The farmers know. as we'll as everybody | else, that the farmer vote will de- | eide the election and the farmers vote will be largely influenced by the
 Presidents statement on Saturday.
 From a farmers point of view, this
 will be the most important speech of | the campaign.

PRETTY GIRLS WIN
 FAVOR AT KEENEY'S

The Little Heiress," a cleverly written musical comedy in miniature, in which Johnnie Dove and Evelyn Kent figure prominently, is serving as the headliner on keeneys vaudeville program this week. The act is most entertaining and it easily found favor with the first nighters." The dia- logue is peppery and creates many laughs. There are some catchy song numbers, all of which are well ren- dered. The work of the chorus de- serves more than the usual mention. There are a number of pretty girls in the troupe. They wear some fetch ing gowns and sing and dance most
 pleasingly. Miss Daisy Belmonts pretty profile and her activities in the
 chorus make her particularly popu-
 lar with the audience. She is ot
 prima donna calibre and her career in such a minor role is bound to be short lived She is worthy Of more important part.
 There are two other first class acts on the program. The aero hatic fea- ture is provided by McLinn and Sul- livan, a pair of daring bar workers. Lasky's picturization of The Cheat l will be the motion picture feature to-
 night. It is a big production and
 makes a splendid headliner. A new chapter in ''The Girl and the Game l series will also be shown tonight.
