Watson, who died in California recently, has not been re- ceived as yet by the Judge Paul L. Miller. In the will which was expect ed to be entered for probate this morning by Attorney Carl Foster, Mrs. Watson has virtually cut off from inheritance her only son and daughter leaving the bulk of of mill lion dollar estate to her companion, Miss Grace Norton Dudley.
 Arthur Watson. son of the late Gen. Watson, and junior member of the banking firm of T. L.

Hunter and Walter A. Hubbel1 still on the ground, neither showing any signs of weakening, everything on the surface seemed serene thds morning in Stratford. It is evident that all were waiting, and hoping for an early decision from Judge Isaac Wolfe, who heard the quo warranto action brought by First Selectman Frank E. Conine, as 8 pri- vate citizen, against R. H. Hunter who was hired by the council, and who to date has refused to be rudely fired by the same council.

Facta Issues NewSummons
 ToDelegates
German-Russian Treaty, Signed Yesterday Mu- tually Cancels All War Claims-More Confer ences May Be Needed to Restore Harmony.

Genoa, April 17-(By the A. P.)-Premier Facta of Italy, as president of the Economic con ference issued a sudden sum- mons this afternoon for a con- ference at three for the heads of the inviting powers now in Genoa. It is now believed one reason for the conference is the signing of the Russia-Ger- man treaty.
 A treaty between Germany and Russia was signed at Rapallo, Sunday, the signatories being the foreign ministers to the two countries. Geo. Chitcherin for Russia, and Dr. Walter Rathenau for Germany. The treaty nullifies the Brest-Litovsk treaty and re-establishes full diplomatic reIa- tions on an equality basis.
 The pact mutually cancels all war claims. as well as claims arising from the standardization of property.
 The treaty signed yesterday, 1t is negotiations begun many months ago.
 This action by delegates to the Genoa econ onlic conference in meet ing independently and negotiatig a treaty outside the scope of the con ference Itself. is pointed to as es- tablishing 8 striking precedent for the natlonS Who are participating In the discussion of the Russian problem here.
 The financial commission of the Genoa conference continued this ex- animation this morning of several pro- posals concerning currency, presented especially by former Premier Luzat- il, Professor Cassel, Swedish financial expert and G. Vissering, president of the Netherlands Bank and the lead ing adviser of the Dutch delegation
 The monetary conditions of the various countries are said to differ so much that it is impossible to adopt a rule which will apply to all and the majority of the delegates are agreed upon a plan for convoking an international monetary convention to be attended by representatives of the
 After Genoa, what? This is the question uppermost in the minds of the delegates to the international economic conference. Experts and delegates alike are agreed that it probably will be necessary to have two more conferences, at least, before harmony is restored in Europe and way.
 Granting that the Russian problem is settled in principle, and recogni- ton is granted Russia by the Genoa conferees-which apparently is the most that can be hoped for, from the present gatherings disarmam ent conference probably would be the Russians say Is virtually a state of war between Japan and Soviet Russia, and Rumania and Soviet Russia. Tur- key and Greece might also be admit ted to this conference in an effort to stop the fighting in Asia Minor.

 Continue Dental Work
 M PnrOchi0L Schools

While the fires of Who is Who" on the Dental Clinic question are awaiting the action Of either the three girls who were not paid on Saturday. the Board of Health or the Board of Education, no little amount of prophecy on the part of the members of the various boards is being attempted.
 In an interview with Dr. Alfred c. Fones this morning he stated that the three dental hygienists. Miss Miss Margaret Wilcox had been work ing as Dental Hygienists for eight. six and five years respectively. These girls were employed and when sta- work, never dou0+ed that they were not supposed to continue.
 'tIn the latter part of March, en- deavored to hold a conference be- tween the Boards of Health and Edu- cation. Dr. William Callahan, of the Health board. was in favor of such a meeting, but President of the Board William Zepp, I understand, was op- posed to such a conference. 1 have never been notified that I was not to continue to act as dental clinic super visor and I appointed the above three girls to work in the parochial schools.
 T have been informed that Presi- dent Zepp told one of the girls who applied to him .in person, on Saturday to ascertain why she was not paid, that he would advise her to discon- tinue working in the parochial schools. I have been very anxious that the work be carried on in the parocsial schools said MT. Tones, "and I have never been told to- dis continue it.
 "If the members of the Board of Health kill and destroy the work in the parochta1 schools the blame will fe nn m one bIir fhemeelYes."

Rumors that the new town counsel, Judge Edward K.

Judge Nich- olson stated this morning that no 1e- gal action of any sort would be start ed by him against Hunter, for the town, until some sort of a plan of &C., ton had had the definite approval of the council.
