ADMIT THE PUBLIC Locarno Treaty Festivities Aban- doned---Heavy Demands For Mourning Apparel London, Nov. 24.--After a confar- ence of the Lord Chamberlain at St James' Palace yesterday with Wes:- minster Abbey and military authorl- ities, it was announced that the fun- oral of Queen Alexandra on Friday would be made as simple as possible, with little pomp and pageantry. By this very simplicity it is felt the im- pressiveness of the ceremony will be enhanced. The conference lasted more than two hours, after which a tentative programme was drawn up and sub- mitted this afternoon to the King. According to the present status of the arrangements the principal part of the funeral ceremonies will be the transfer of the body of the dead gueen next Friday morning from St. James' Chapel to Westminster Abbey and the services in the Abbey.

Aim of Feng Yu-Hslang Is Bolshevik Regime London, Nov. 24.--A Pekin de- spatch to the Daily Mail reports a "dramatic and serious change in the situation" there. Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, fhe Manchurian war lord, has discovered that Feng Yu Hslang, the "Christian general," plotting to attack him with the help of Bolshe- vists, intending after defeating Chang to attack Wu Pet Fu, the Chihlf war lord, and establish a Bol- shevik regime. 'Chang Tso-Lin's discovery of the plot, says the correspondent, upset Feng's plans, and the Manchurian chieftain is now concentrating troops inside the present regime and pre- vent a Bolsheviki invasion. Foreign powers, the correspondent declares, are concerned in this sud- den development. ---------------- THE WHIPS TO CONFER IN OTTAWA DEC. 2 Seating Arrangements for the Progressive Party Not Decided Yet. Ottawa, Nov. 24,--While the sug- gestion has been made that the Pro- gressives should sit to the right of the Speaker when the fifteenth Parliament opens on December 10th, as expected, it is understood to-day that no definite arrangements have as yet been made for the seating in the House of the Progressive group. The indications at the present time are that the mat- ter may not be fully determined un- til cember 2nd, which date has been suggested for a conference be- tween whips of the three parties. A sub-committee of the Cabinet has, it is stated, been appointed to deal with the question of seating accommodation in the chamber and act in conjunction with the whips of each party. A conference has al- ready taken on the subject be- HW. ing chief Liberal whip. Robert Forke, Progressive lead- er, has been communicated with, and requested to nominate a member of his group for the purpose of decid- ing the question. So far, a reply has not been received from Mr. Forke, it is stated, although a communica- tion from him will likely be forth- coming shortly. . Last session, the Progressive members sat on the Opposition side of the House next to the Conserva- tives, but further removed from the speaker's' chair. The present sug- gestion for them to sit on the right of the speaker, and on same side of the chamber as the Liberals, would, it is asserted, give them more favorable accommoda- tion closer to the throme, in view of the increased number of Con- gervatives in the next Parliament. a ------------ AN EARLY SESSION APPEARS EVIDENT Premier States Dates of Bye- Elections Have Not Been Considered. ------ Toronto, Nov. 24.--Premier Fer- has not yet made up his mind whether the bye-elections to fill the cies in the Ontario Legislature 3- | will be held in the near future or 1 not.

MARKET SQUARE Arrangements Had Not Been Made for the Armouries---About 150 Farmers Are Here From All Over the District With Loads of Turkeys and Other Poultry. A large 'number of farmers from thé surrounding country arrived on Tuesday morning to attend the Poultry Fair, Many of them had as high as four hundred pounds of turkey, and some of them had come Jong distances to attend the fair. On arriving at the armouries, the place advertised for the fair, they were told that they could not hold the fair there because arrange- ments had not been made with the Department of Defense at Ottawa «| for the use of the armouries by the management committee. The farm- ers then went to the market square, and before noon nearly one hun- dred and fifty had gathered there. The judging and registering was car- ried on just the same. The judge is Mr. M. D, Mills of Napanee. It is thought that the fair can be con- ducted In the 'open air with equal success. This has been done in other towns with good results, although it is somewhat cold. However the weather forecasts are in favor of the farmers. Although there were few buyers on the market, at 10 a.m. a num- ber arrived afterwards from To- ronto and Montreal, and the poul- try. were gelling, although slowly] The sales were expected to pick up late in the afternoon. Buyers from outside companies such as Harris Abattoir, Gunns Limited, Reynold: Limited, and many other well known companies were present. A larg? number of the local wholesalers and rédtailers were at the market to buy, but it 18 understood that they hava not the cold storage accommodation for a large stock of turkeys. Many of the large buyers likely take half a car load or more, so it is thoughv' that 'the larger part of the turkeys offered may .go to four or five big buyers. : : A 'party of buyers from the Unitsd States will arrive in the 'afternoon from Cape Vincent. It is expectdd that they will be able to handle =a large amount. The registering and judging of the loads, had not been completed up to the time of going to press, so that the winners of the special prizés can not bé announced yet Some of the loads Were huge and not a few housewives were present looking over the poultry and many laid in a few for the Christmas season. Jng committee, William It is regretted that the fair could ' not be held in the armouries, the place advertised. Owing to the fact that it is the first time an event of this nature has ever been held here, some minor details may have beem = = overlooked, yet all indications point. to success. This will greatly ald any enterprise of this nature that may be held jn the future. : First Held Here. Although the Poultry Fair idea 18 by no means new in some other Can adian cities, it is the first time that it has been tried in Kingston. The ball was started rolling, when a motion was put at a meeting of the Board of Trade by G. W, Bell, that the Board of Trade co-operate with the city council in holding a Poul- try Fair in Kingston this fall. This enterprise has involved a great amount of work on the part of Mr. H. G. Wightman, the secretary of the Board of Trade. A large num- ber of bills advertising the fair were distributed to the retail grocers and cheese factories in the counties of Lennox-Addington, Frontenac, and Leeds. Notices of the fair were also sent to the buyers in Montreal, To- ronto and other large centres. A large number replied that they would be present. The fair was backs ed up by the retail merchants who' offered special prizes and advanced enough financial support to make the enterprise a success. : The members of the committees in charge of the fair are as follows: Financial committee: Mayor An- grove, W. Y. Mills, B. Noble Steacy., J. 8. Sibbit; advertising and markets ter Mr D w. G. W. Bell, J. 8. Crawford, Price, W. J: Mercer; ed Sirrett, Mr. Montgomery, Rodgers, J. J. Wilmot, J. W. Mr. W.

OPPOSED BY FARMERS' UNION Who Are Dissatisfied With Baldwin's tural Policy. London, Nov. 24.--An interesting phase of the bye-election in the Bury Stedmunds division of West Suffolk, where Right Hon. Walter R. Guin ness, former financial secretary to the treasury, is offering himself for re-election because of his appoint- ment as Minister of Agriculture, is the opposition of the Farmers' Union to his return to Parliament. Ninety- five per cent. of the members of the Farmers' Union are Conservatives normally, but they are dissatisfied 'with the Government's agricultural policy. The union today resolved to oppose the Government candidate and throw the weight of its influence on the side of the Liberal candidate, George Nicholls. The farmers all that the BaRiwin government has neglected agricultural interests, and they find fault with the Govern ment's refusal to tax imported malts ing barley. : Léslie Jamés Weatherall, 23, was found dead in the bush } Creemore, Ont., with a shattered leg.
