That is where Roosevelt stands to-
day. The question answers several
questions.
The disciples of easy opportun-

aISalgamating the Republican and
Progressive parties on a platform of

Roosevelt will not lend himself to
that plan.

impossibility of harmony between
them is made conspicuous by. the

MADE BY CENTRAL
Railroad Answers 200 Counts
in the indictment Charging
Illegal Relating.

The Central railroad of New Jer-
sey. through Frederic J. Faulks. or
the law firm of Lindabury, Depew &
Faulks, pleaded mot guilty in the
United States District Court before
Judge Haight today to the 200 counts
IN the indictment charging illegal re-
batting.
Mr. Faulks said that the railroad
wanted an immediate trial, and pref
erably in Newark, because of the
large number of New Workers who
will appear as witnesses. Assistant
United States District Attorney
Davis told the court that 1t was his
understanding that the Interstate
Commerce Commission also wishes
an immediate trial. and that he ex-
pected to hear in a few days when
the commission will be ready to go
on.
Judge Haight said that unless the
trial is set for the early part of jan
uary it will have to go to Trenton.
The court also thanked counsel Tor
the railroad for waving the reading
of the 200 counts in the indictment,
which would have consumed the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--No ag-

United States is contemplated in the
sending of additional troops to Naeo,
Ariz., according to an official state
ment issued today at the White

After a conference with President

A number of messages have been

two score of people have been killed

SAYS BANKRUPT
MADE CONFESSION
OF HIDDEN ASSETS
Counsel for Trustee Asserts
Morristown Dealer Made
Admission.

An alleged confession that may
lead to further indictments for con-
spiracy by the federal grand jury
was received today by Bankruptcy
Referee Atwood l.. De Coster. in the
bankruptcy court room in the Byrne
building.
The confession, it is asserted. was
made by Frederick w. Knipscher, a
bankrupt automobile accessory dealer
of 27 South street, Morristown. 1t
will be brought to the attention of
the next federal grand jury, accord
ing TO David Booker, counsel for
Louis Fast, the trustee.
The bankrupt. according to Mr..
Booker. admitted that he had packed
upwards of $1,000 worth of tires into
two trunks and concealed them from
creditors, and also admitted that he
has concealed his furniture and large
quantities of silverware.
The silverware he said is in the
vaults of the Morristowp Trust Com
many. He admitted that he placed
It there before he filed his voluntary
petition in bankruptcy, according to
Mr. Booker.
The furniture, II is Sald, is IN
house at As Franklin street, Norris
town. Neither the furniture, silver
ware or tires are mentioned in the
bankrupt's schedules. which he filed
with his petition. said Mr.. Booker
The trunks containing the rubber
tires the bankrupt is said to have
admitted, were shipped to Arthur T.
Holton, of Mountain Lakes, about a
week before the petition in bank
ruptcy was filed.
United States Attorney Davis has
been conducting a campaign against
bankrupts who attempt to defraud
their creditors by concealing assets
or making false statements. Nearly
q dozen indictments for offenses of
this nature were returned by the last
Federal grand jury, and it is de-
clared more are Forthcoming from the
next jury.
Mr.. Booker has had December %
assigned to further examine the
bankrupt and those whom, it is said,
he duplicates. The lawyer says that
on that date he will examine Mrs.
Knipscher, and Mr.. Holton also.
Knipscher's petition in bankruptcy
was filed by Roy c. Matthews A
receiver. whom Mr.. B B1bker says was
friendly to the bankrupt, was APP
pointed.
