"THE CLODHOPPER" WITH
CHARLES RAY AT THE TOPIC


Charles Ray comes to the Topic
theatre today in "The Clodhopper."
proclaimed by critics as one of his
greatest successes. The photoplay was
written by Monte NJ. Katterjohn, well
known author of "The Flame of the
Yukon and is a Thomas II. Ince pro-
duction made by Triangle.
Mr.. Ray undertakes the role OF a
farm boy who is forced to leave home
through the cruelties of stern father.
He goes to New York and makes sud
den success as a dancer in time to save
his father from ruin and marry the
girl
This all too brief synopsis really fails
to do the picture justice, for the story
has many interesting angles and the
chief interest lies in the artistic inter-
pretation of 1.-The Clodhopper," by
Charles Ray. There is something very
appealing about Charles Ray, opinions
different whether that something" be
his soft, appealing eyes, the sympathe-
tic twitch Of his mouth, or his ability
to live instead of act, his parts.
Mr. Ray is supported by an excellent
cast Margery Wilson, who has been
seen as 'the girl' in other productions
starring Charles Ray, again takes the
Heading feminine role.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-Rqssia's pre-war
debts are recognized and the embargo
on the movement of gold in and out
of Russia is raised under the terms of
the draft of an agreement between
Great Britain and Soviet Russia for
trade with Russia which was made pub
lie here to-day. The agreement covers
commercial dealings only. Opposition
to the agreement comes largely from
banking interests, but it has the ener-
getic support Of manufacturers, es-
pecially deal lers in woolen and cotton
goods and shoes, who have signed con-
tracts aggregating more than $20,00O,-
900.
The signing Of the trade agreement
depends entirely upon the outcome of
the Riga conference, where the Poles
and Bolsheyiki are trying to conclude
q peace treaty. British officials have
strongly advised the Poles TO make
peace, pressure being much stronger
than when the delegates met at Brest-
Litovsk, as the military situation now
is much more favorable to the Poles
Premier Lloyd George and his official
family are not in agreement on the
question Of trade with Russia Wins

State for War, is the most influenti

Latest Scheme of Owners
At the conclusion Of the meeting JUS

OF landlords to beat the new laws. He
told the newspaper men that real
estate corporation owning apartment
houses in the Bronx had changed its
Offices to Greene County and had insti-
tuted actions against its tenants in the
Supreme Court in that county.
Another corporation had changed its
Offices to Niagara County for the same
purpose. AS the cases apply olely to
New York City, the result of this move
is somewhat doubtful. 1t is thought
they may be thrown out on the ground
the courts have no jurisdiction. 1t is
understood the two corporations have
brought upward of a hundred actions.

Attell, seen last night. denied that
any subpoena to present himself before
Mr.. Swami had been served on him. No
process Of any kind, he added, had been
served on him.
The prosecutors assurance of his an

placed in the hands of Assistant Dis

places Assistant District Attorney Alex
