 Plea fin Court.

New Haven, March 2.-Order of payment of $2,499 receivers ex- penses incurred through the bank ruptcy of the Gainor Manufacturing Go. of Stratford, was filed by Federal Judge Thomas here today.
 An opinion was given in the mem- orandum that the Remington Arms U. M. c. Co.,, an intervening credi- tor, cannot be assessed for g. part of the expense because 1t Is not in the list of petitioning creditors.

 Two days later a second notice modifying the first was filed. Later a receiver was appointed without mo- tice to the Remington Go. For this reason the latter is not assessed as to costs. The receiver was Robbins B. stoeckel and his attorney was Major John Buckley.

TAXES IN EXCESS
 OF BUDGET NEEDS
Collector LOomis Takes in
 Si5,2i7 Over Requirements

With one month to pass before the fiscal year closes, Collector of Taxes Bernadotte Loomis has al- ready taken in $15,217,97 more than the budget requirements for this fiscal year. The collections at the close of business on the last day of February are, however, $6,066.92 less than the rate-book requirements. This Is explained by the fact that the grand list was somewhat larger than was anticipated when this years tax rate was fixed.
 The collections during the month Of February, with those of last year for comparison are: Taxes, s10,- 096,SS, s14,ss0.55; sewer assess ments $2,o29.o2, sG62.S2; street im- provements $550.1i. sl,1o7.SS; street sprinkling. $5S.59. $114.95; personal taxes, $16,044. $15.474. The collec- tons are $s,S70.G7 less than those of February 1924.
 A tax rate of 23T mills such as Is proposed for adoption by the city meeting board at tonight's session will provide a tax revenue of $16,- S52 more than has been appropriat- ed for the fiscal year 1925-t926.
 The tax rate was fixed on an es- timated grand list of $97,50o. 900, but when the assessments made by the board of assessors were published, 1t was found that the grand list to- tailed $9s,1sS,515. or $6SS,515 more than the estimated list.

 TRAIN FOR WAR
Foch Stresses Spirit for a
 Future Conflict
The Associated Press,

Ey The Associated Press.
 Paris, March 2.-The conclusions drawn by Marshal Foch as head of the allied military committee from the report of the allied military con- trol mission on Germany's state of disarmament insist particularly on the significance of Germany's atti- tude in maintaining an army declar- ed to be equipped and trained for war. His comment was distributed to the allied governments today. The other members of the war commit tee concurred.
 Marshal Foch calls attention to evidence that the organization and training of the German police sug- gests war rather than measures for internal order.
 He expresses the view that the mass of evidence gathered by the control mission is more alarming as showing the determination of the Germans to keep up the war spirit than as exposing detailed instances of treaty violations
 The report is the first thing on the order of the day for the meet ing of the council of ambassadors here tomorrow.
 It Is expected in political circles that the report will bring the ques- ton of security of France and Bel gium Into an active phase. The feelers put out by Germany in Lon don have aroused some suspicion.
 Some argue that Germany has nothing to lose by agreeing to a pact with Great Britain, France and Belgium with respect to the from tiers of her western neighbors and has much to gain if let off with free hand as concerns Poland.
 It is understood that all through the tentative negotiations in London the Germans have held that their eastern frontier ought to be revised, and that they intend to reserve the right to pursue the effort for such revision by pacific means" |" while ready to enter into a pact to guar antee France and Belgium.

GENERAL LIST WORKS HIGHER
American Can One Of FaVOriteS
 Today

Rising prices marked the resump- ton of trading in the stock market with heavy buying of the oil shares promoted by merger reports and prospects of another increase in Mid-Continent crude prices. De- mand for other popular industrials embraced Baldwin, American Loco motive, American Can and Amerl- can Smelling, which scored gains of about a point.
 With pivotal shares assuming the leadership of the advance resump- ton of pool operations was encour- aged in many parts of the list and the entire market headed upward. American Can jumped 31a points to record high at 179 and |. s. Steel moved up point. Buying orders were spread over a variety of oil shares, lifting the Pan-American is- sues Marland, Pacific and Atlantic Refining to 1ls points. Laclede Gas advanced four points, Texas Gulf Sulphur, IA and General Electric and many points of strength developed in the public utilities, equipments, motors and ac- cessories groups. Columbia Gas, however yielded two points of its recent [ point rise on profit taking.
 Suggestions of larger dividends on some of the gilt-edged railroad shares accounted for the buoyancy of that group in the morning. Atchison after pushing through its record high of 125 3-S established in 1909, shot up to 8 new record figure at 127B. Atlantic coast line touched 161 up 5 points, the highest figure reached since the panic of 1907 and Louisville and Nashville at 114 S-S was at the highest since 1923. Only a handful of issues failed to participate in the advance, commercial Solvents issues being the only outstanding weak spot. Mark ing up of the renewal rate on call money to AZ per cent failed to check the rising trend of prices the best exhibitions of group strength being given by the public utilities, equipments, oils and minor motors. American Smelting, Mack Trucks, Remington Typewriter and Vanadi- nm Steel were among the issues to sell ? or more points above last weeks closing.
 St. Paul preferred was heavy and Radio Corporation dropped several points. but the general list worked | considerably higher in the after noon.s High-priced stocks were in decided favor. American Can reach ing 180 1-4, and Mack Truck. Gen. eral Electric, Sears Roebuck and Nash Motors climbing 3 to points.

 The police testified that the father had admitted to them that he had relations with the dead girl.
 The three attorneys objected strenuously to the admission of the death bed statement of the girl, claiming that it was only in cases of homicide that such statements were admissible, but after searching through the statutes on the subject, Judge filling said that although he could not locate his authority, he was certain that the statement was ad- admissible under the tres justa" and he admitted It. The confession of the elder Dainty was also admitted as evidence.
