COURT ACCEPTS KINC'S. REPORT
 AS RECEIVER

According to a memorandum of de- cision handed down this morning by Judge Howard J. Curtis in the Supe- rior court the report of John T. King, receiver for the E. H. H. Smith Silver Company, is accepted. This means that King will get his fee of s4,0o0 for his services.
 Last week portest was entered against the acceptance of the report by the First National Bank of New Haven which was one of the creditors, holding bonds of the Silver Company to the amount of about s13,0OO. The complaint was based on the assertion that the receiver had not devoted anything like the requisite amount of time to his work. The attorneys fees amounted to over s10,OOO.
 Under the management of Receiver King the deficit increased from s6s. 3s4 to SS7,O75. There was a slight increase in the liabilities as well and the net loss was shown by the report to be S2o. 74- This was during the period between December 29 1917, to May 8 of the present year. Recently the as- sets of the company were sold after considerable action in the courts for the sum of $120, 600.

GERMAN ZONE ESTABLISHED
 ALONG RHINE
Question Over Collection of German Customs and
 Duties.

Coblenz, Sunday, June 29 - (By A. P.)-The establishment of boundary line supervision between Germany and Luxem- burg for the collection of Ger man customs and duties is among the mass of detailed questions to be passed upon by the inter-ailied Rhineland com mission, which recently open ed headquarters here. Under the terms of the treaty, this commission becomes the su- preme governing body of all occupied zones in Germany, taking over the government of occupied districts from the mill itary authorities as rapidly as possible.
 The fact that the Duchy of Luxem- burg which until January l last was combined with Germany in a customs agreement, has withdrawn from that arrangement, makes 1t necessary for shippers and individuals to pay duty upon merchandise entering or leaving either country The chief of the Ger man customs service has already re- quested permission to inaugurate uniformed boundary patrol to be armed with swords and pistols to pre- vent smuggling, but before the patrol becomes effective the Germans must receive the consent of the commission.

DAUGHTER OF
 J. L. M'C0vERN DIESFR0M BURNS

Martha McGovern, aged years and 4 months. daughter of Collector and Mrs. James L. McGovern, died this morning at the home of her parents. 319 East Main street. of shock occa- stoned by severe burns.
 The little girl was playing at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. with a sparkler of type which has been supposed to be absolutely free of dan ger. As the stick burned away the end became red hot and this press ing against the thin muslin dress which Martha wore started a blaze. which mounted to her face.
 Almost upon the instant assistance was rendered. The fire was smother ed with a rug. and the charred cloth ing torn away. The aid was given so promptly that the fire reached neither the face nor lungs of the child, and all the burns were on the lower part of the body. It was thought that re- covery would be prompt.
 Captain Edward r. McGovern, Martha's uncle. who has just returned from duty fin France with the Medical corps, was immediately summoned and gave every assistance th4.. could be rendered.
 The funeral will be held at a date to de designated. and will be private.

HERMAN KILLED WHILE
 DISTRIBUTING NEWS
VOLUNTEERED TO DROP PEACE SIGNING TO AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN COBLENZ-CAFES
 FILLED-GERMANS ARE NOT SAD.

Coblenz, Sunday, June 29-(By AS. sociated Press)-Captain Walter Schultz. of Chicago, H., a member of the 18th aero squadron, was killed Saturday evening when an airplane in which Captasn Schultz was distribut- ing extra edition of the Amaroo News. the soldiers daily newspaper, announcing the details of the sign ing of the treaty of peace, fell near Montabaur. headquarters of the first division
 Captain Schultz volunteered to car- ry copies of the extra edition to sol- dlerS who, for more than a week, had been concentrated at the edge of the bridgehead. ready to advance in the event that the Germans refused to accept the allied terms. The &C., ctdent is attributed to engine trouble.
 Captain Schultz came overseas with the Third Cavalry, being transferred to the air service a year ago.
 The afternoon German newspapers published in the area occupied by American forces printed Versailles diSpatch to the effect that the stage was all set for the last act in the war drama, far the Ger mans were concerned and let it go at that. Am merican ayiators carrying the extra edition of the Amaroc News in surrendered German FoKker ma chimes, repeatedly circled over Cob lenz and great crowds of soldiers and civilians assembled wherever the ex- tras fell, all eager to read the de- tails of the ceremony.
 Many extras dropped into the Rhine, and German fishermen and boys in canoes fished them out of the water. In cafes, civilians bored over the news and the German who could read little English was in demand to interpret the details of tho historic meeting at Versailles. In many instances in the cafes and streets, American soldiers who spoke German interpreted the despatches
 If there was any sadness among the Germans over the fact that actual peace had arrived at last, it was not apparent among the people about town. In fact, the cafe orchestras seemed to play more sprightly airs with renewed vigor and the Germans drank more beer than usual. All thu white, American soldiers in groups paraded the streets singing: When do we go from here?"

 SPld Messages to President
WILSON REPLIES WE ARE ON EVE OF REALIZ- ING REAL OBJECTS OF GREAT WAR-WAR
 BRIDES ON STEAMER.

On board the U. S. S. George Washington, Sunday, June 29-(By Wireless to the Associated Press)- Several thousand returning American soldiers and a score of pretty French war brides are on. board the presiden- tial ship on it's voyage to the United States. A number of the soldiers who are members of guards at the Paris White House, and Hotel De- Crillon, headquarters of the Ameri- can delegation, were married during their sojourn in Paris.
 The regulations provided no means for the brides to accompany their husbands aboard the George Wash ington, and for time it seemed thai they might get left behind. A tear ful joint despatch from the brides to President Wilson, however, led to the making of arrangements for their ac- comm o odation.
 The voyage, so far, has been in perfect weather and over a calm sea.
 Farewell messages were received by President Wilson from King George of England, King Alfonzo of Spain and the Emperor of Japan.
 The reply of the President to the message of King George was as fol- lows:
 Tt gives me deep pleasure to ex- press to you my conviction of the truth of your generous message con corning the great enGs which have been attained by the present peace and the new ties which have been created between your own great peo- pie and ours. We are on the eve of realizing. more than we could realize them at the time, the real objects of the great war.
  united to defeat the enemies of liberty and justice, have through their repre- sentatives wrought out a plan by which they may remain united in free partnership of intimate council to promote the cause of justice and of freedom through the beneficent pro- cess of peace and the accords of liberal policy. It is within the choice of the thoughtful men of every na- tion to enrich the peace by their counsel. I am happy to echo your greetings at this momentous history because they give promise of Q peace in which justice will not be imperilled by selfish initiative on the part of any single nation.
 May I express my best wishes for the security and happiness of your people,
 King Alfonso of Spain sent this message:
 "On the occasion of the signing of the peace in which you have in con- junction with your country taken such a preponderating part, lam pleased to send you my most sincere congratulations and I ask you to ac- cept my very best wishes and those of Spain for the happiness and prosper ity of the United States of America in a ara ha inc iSI, you, Mrs. Wilson and Miss Wilson a good journey"
 In reply, the president said:
 'I greatly appreciate your message, I rejoice with you over the signing of the peace and look forward with equal confidence to a new cay in which it will be possible to give peace u new significance for the nations through common counsel of Almighty and cooperative nation and I am sure that I am expressing the feeling of the people of the United States in wishing for the fruits of the better day"
