McCray also admitted payment of
more than S150,000 to the Discount
and Deposit State Bank Of Kentland
The banks which brought the suit de-
clare this payment made the bank
a preferred creditor. McCray replied
by denying he made the payment while
he was insolvent, by denying any in
tention of making the bank a pre-
ferred creditor, and by denying he is
now insolvent. He said the bank had
securities of great value.
Occupation Is Defense
The principal contention on behalf
Of the Governor is that he is a farmer
and that as such he is not subject to
action in bankruptcy. In his answer
he contended he is a farmer and has
been a farmer for the past twenty
years, and that the fact he was elected
Governor did not alter the situation.
The answer admitted attachment
suits had been filed against McCray
in Howard County, Iowa, by a bank
at Newcastle, but it said the suits
were filed without his knowledge or
consent and that no judgment has
been rendered.
McCray denied he had made any
general assignment or any assign
ment with intent to prefer any credi-
tors, but that he did offer a trust
agreement to all creditors who would
join. AT the same time, he said, he
provided for a return to him of any
surplus remaining after his obliga-
tions are met.
First Statement in Two Months. -
The answer was the first direct
statement from McCray since his
financial crash almost two months
ago when he called in his creditors
and proposed the trust agreement
The fling Of on answer Is a pre-
liminary step in the bankruptcy case.
Actual hearing Of the case probably
will take place in Indianapolis. James
w. Noel, attorney for McCray. proba-
bly, will ask that the court decide the
question Of whether McCray is a
farmer separate from the other is
sues.
The money paid to the bank and
that paid to the State board Of agri-
culture was from the s350.0o pool
raised by James P. Goodrich, former
Governor, and others.
II the bankruptcy suit is successful.
the trust agreement may be dissolved
and the payments from the pool
rullified. Much Of the future of the
Discount and Deposit State Bank Of
Kentland depends ON the outcome of
this action.

NEWFOUNDLAND MAY
OPERATE IRON MINES
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NORTH SYDNEY, n. s.. January 90.
-"If the British Empire Steel Cor
poration does not operate the iron
deposits at Bell Island, the New
foundland government or some other
corporation will operate them. They
are not going to remain idle"
This was the ultimatum which
Premier Sir Richard Squires of New
foundland said last night he was
carrying to Montreal to deliver to
Roy wolvin, president of the British
Empire Steel Corporation, and D. H.
McDougaIl, vice president in charge
Of operations.
"There are 1900 miners thrown out
of employment at Bell Island without
notice" Sir Richard said land ap-
parently without any good reason.
The British Empire Steel Corporation
has given out that the shutdown is
due to the French occupation of the
Ruhr valley and the consequent nom
acceptance of the deliveries by Ger
many.
II am going to Montreal to call
their bluff and to find out what is
the real reason the corporation has
closed it's own works at Bell Island
without apparent good cause. My
information from friends in Paris,
who are in touch with the French
government, from German sources
and from Mr.. Bonar Law, premier of
Great Britain, and his undersecretary
of state for the colonies is that no
such reason as that given by the
British Empire Steel Corporation for
the closing down of the workings
exists.
at am informed that every blast
furnace in the Ruhr valley is work
ing full time and that, whether by
the Germans or by the French, they
will continue to work full time, ana
that the necessity for the delivery
of ore from Bell Island will continue
under such conditions
1t was suggested to Premier SQuires
that the Germans might consider it
inadvisable to accept delivery of ore
which ultimately would be confiscat-
ed by the French. He intimated that
he could not accept such possibility
as an excuse.

NEW YORK, January 29.-One of
the outstanding features on the curb
exchange today was another sharp
break In the Durant Motor issues.
