Mystery of Wreck | Victims Identity
 Halts Probate Case

Cullinan & Mullins have been con- Grmed as administrators of the estate of John Collins or Connors who was killed in the railroad wreck at In- dian River, Milford, on Washington's birthday. M. J. Holloran, an adjuster for the New Haven road had previ- ously appeared before the probate court and asked that a settlement be made on a nominal basis.
 In view of the fact that it has not yet been determined whether Collins was a passenger who had paid fare over the road or was an emplOye of the company, Judge Miller has de- cided to postpone the settlement of the estate for several months. If Col Hns was an employ of the road his heirs would be entitled to nominal damages only If he was a passen ger his heirs would share in several thousand dollars damage. His iden- tity has not been established.

 Ye4Eerday the state department took notice of publications by denying that Germany had intimated to Ire United States that the time was ripe for the United States, as the largest neutral, to renew it's friendly offices for peace, or that the United States had been informed that MT Gerard had been requested to postpone his vacation because of pending peace me- gotiations.
 Unofficial reports reaching here to- day said the ambassador actually had postponed his vacation. but gave no reason.
 The state department today again took cognizance of the report and the following statement was issued: g
 'tAny statement that the German government had intimated that it's de- sired this government to act as media tor in peace negotiations or had in any way suggested, formally or in- formally, that this government should take the matter up with other powers is absolutely without foundation and that the state department has no in formation that Germany is preparing 10 make a definite move in the direc ton of Oeace.''
