Financier's Voice Weak-Refuses to Talk, but Poses for Camera Men. William Rockefeller, indicted with twenty directors and former directors of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad on a charge of conspiracy in criminal violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law, appeared in person in the Criminal Branch of the United States District Court, in Manhattan, today, and pleaded "not guilty" to the indictment found against him. A plan to save the Standard Oil director the unpleasantness of a public arraignment by announcing that he would not plead until this afternoon, failed utterly. When Mr. Rockefeller, accompanied by his counsel, John A.

Garver, of the law firm of Sherman Sterling, appeared in court room, at 10:30 this morning, the place was crowded. Judge Rufus E. Foster was on the bench. There was a delay of eight minutes while Clerk William Leary was calling the jury roll. While this was being done, Mr.

Rockefeller, who wore a tweed suit, tan colored kid gloves and carried a Malacca cane chatted pleasantly with his lawyer. After the jurors had answered the roll call, Clerk Leary asked Mr. Rockefeller what plea he desired to make, after waiving the reading of the indictment. The aged financier trembled a little as he stood up; and it was with apparent difficulty he answered: "Not guilty." Then Attorney Garver suggested that Mr. Rockefeller be allowed the usual time to withdraw the tentative plea and demur or take any other action he might consider proper tor his defence.

The request being granted, Assistant District Attorney Stephenson asked that the defendant's bail, like the and others, the be bond $5,000. having This was previously agreed been to, arranged for with a surety company, Mr. Rockefeller next appeared before United States Commissioner Clarence S. Houghton and signed the document which released and canceled the bench warrant which had been awaiting service. After the arraignment, Mr.

Rockefeller was asked it he desired to make any statement. cannot talk," he mumbled, his low, shaky voice being apparently due to some kind of throat affection. Lawyer Garver also had nothing to say. Before leaving, at 10:50 o'clock, for his town house, at 689 Fifth avenue, Manhattan, where he has been ping for a couple of days, Mr. Rockefeller posed for the camera men.

In the Standard Oil dissolution suit, brought by the Government in the District Court, at St. Louis, on November 15, 1906, William Rockefeller was one of the individual defendants named in the decree as lating the Sherman Anti-Trust Law, by maintaining a combination in restraint trade in the manufacture of petroleum.

Mrs. Jessica Lozier Payne started her fifth season of current topic talks today at the Academy of Music. She was greeted by an audience which filled every seat in the Music Hall, with 8 generous overflow into the balcony. Mrs. Payne devoted most of ner talk to the European war and the events leading up to it, and she showed the same broad comprehension of the large elements involved and an ability to explain them in clear, crisp and precise statements that have made her talks so instructive and valuable in the past.

She explained the importance of maintaining neutrality here, as urged by President Wilson, and gave a good illustration of how this may be done by her own partial statement of facts. She said she had given eight talks on the war, and had received, as a result, many hot letters from both sides, so that she was sure she was neutral. The Bryan plan of obtaining world peace througn treaties and courts of arbitration was contrasted with the Roosevelt method of preparedness. Mrs. Payne said that the assassinaLion of Prince Francis Ferdinand at Sarajevo was an indirect et cause of the war.

The direct cause was Austria's ultimatum to Servia with its impos(sible conditions. She described as rainbow" papers the flood of official documents issued by the various goveruments in attempts to escape responsibility for beginning the war--the White Paper, the Yellow Paper, etc. She liked to think that these "rainhow" papers gave assurance that there would never be another war of this character. The two important points, she said, were these: Did Germany know about the Austrian ultimatum to Servia, and id Russia have assurance prior to July 31 that England would come to tho assistance of Russia and France? The answers to these two questions would determine where responsibility for the war lies. Then she spoke witn some detail of the explanations and defenses of the various nations as set forth in published reports of the official correspondence prior to the war.

Mrs. Payne explained the progress of hostilities, and dwelt at some length, but with fascinating interest, on the horrors of modern warfare as prosecuted in the land and beneath the seas. She lipole of the psychology of the situation--the terrible hatred that is being fostered and referred to it as a possible obstacle to lasting peace. In her explanation of the campaign, she stated that Germany had been deceived in its expectation that England would not enter the war, and that this was mainly responsible for the failure of the plan for prompt capture of Paris and then the attack on Russia. Mrs.

Payne also touched on the election results and the legislation that has been enacted at Washington. APPRAISALS. ELIZABETH C. GEORGE, died August 19, last. leaving $3,071.77 gross to her husband, Edwin.

CAUGHT: MAKES CONFESSION, Tell of Ring Theft in Brooklyn to Avoid Trial in Queens-Held for Grand Jury. A cleverly prepared trap by Detective George E.

Patten, in the house of Johanna Beckman, in Queens, resulted yesterday in the arrest of Edward Ochs of 1152 Broadway, an awning worker, who, the police believe, can explain several thefts, in various houses to which his work gave him access.

Ochs was employed by Theodore, Meyer of 1107 Broadway, an awning' dealer, and was regularly sent out on installation or removal jobs. Lately, in almost every instance where Ochs had finished a job, complaint would be made by the house owners to his employer, that after his departure, some article of value had mysteriously disappeared. As these complaints continued to come in, Mr.

Meyer reported the matter to the police, and Detective Patten, who has made a reputation for himgolf in running down sneak thieves. was assigned to the case.
