FRANCE, GERMANY AND BELGIUM FORM TRUST
Luxembourg Interests Also in Great European
 Steel COnsOrtium

Brussels, Belgium, Sept. 30 LP,- The French, German, Belgian and Luxembourg steel interests today signed an agreement creating a great steel consortium. The agree ment goes into effect tomorrow. All of Belgium's demands were met, in- cluding a monthly production allot- ment of 295,ooO tons.
 Under the terms, the Belgian production will be fixed at 295,000 tons monthly, while the production of the entire trust will be in the neighborhood of 27500.00O tons an- nually.
 Should the total production exceed this figure, the increase will be shar- cd by the nations other than Bel gium. whose quota remains fixed.
 The plan for the new European steel consortium started in Germany. Some opposition developed at the first meeting in August and subse- quently, because Of the difficulty r allotting equitable quotas to the member countries and within them.
 The plants of northern France, destroyed during the war, argued that their percentage of the French production should be larger than the French firms in the west and the center of the country, which not only did not suffer but prospered during the war.
 In Belgium the situation was more delicate. First there existed a certain rivalry between the Bel gian and Luxembourg plants. Bel gian manufacturers were divided among themselves but united in de- manding a larger attribution of the output to Belgium. This demand was finally met on condition that their quota would not be raised in event the total production of the trust exceeded the estimate.
 The British steel interests re- mained aloof.
 Besides fixing maximum steel the delegates aimed at creating an international office for the maintenance of remunerative prices for steel in the world market.

MARSDEN DIVERTED
 FUNDS FROM TRUST
Judge Beach Finds Against
 Prominent Madison Official
JUDGMENT TOTALS S1,@76 61
Court Makes Decision After Accused Had Absolutely Refused To Ex- plain What He Had Done With Money Involved.

New Haven. Conn, Sept. 30 Pl- Arthur W. Marsden, former judge of probate. representative in the gen. eral assembly and town clerk of Madison for many years, diverted moneys from the Augustus NJ. Dowd trust fund of which he was treasur- er 1t is stated in finding made to- day by Justice John K. Beach. who as a state referee had heard evid- ence In a complaint filed against Marsden by Attorney General Frank E. Healy and Burton A. Hull and Georgie L. Scranton. the two last mentioned being trustees of the fund.
 Justice Beach was appointed by Judge Arthur r. Els of the superior court after the case had developed into involved controversy, owing to Marsden's attitude when called upon to make an accounting.
 Early in the year 8 complaint was filed charging Marsden with having made false report as to deposits of income from the fund. The fund had been invested in mortgages from time to time.
 Consented To Judgment
 At the June term of court the de- fendant filed with Judge Els a con- sent to judgment but the plaintiff S counsel refused this on the ground that only interest due the estate had been accounted for while the effort was to have an accounting of the en- tire fund. The further claim was made that the defendant by agree ing to a judgment had admitted the truth of the allegations" which were that Marsden had used the money himself.
 A month ago the case was called before Justice Beach for a hearing and Marsden refused to answer cer- tain questions. The court said that he would either cite Marsden for SS-i'N+ipt VI liiii tsli LdIlS dsdilISL him. The latter course was taken in the finding which was filed today.
 The next step by the attorney generals counsel, 1t was said, would be to file motion that judgment be entered against Marsden in accord with the finding.
 Figures Are S16O7.61
 The total judgment recommended by Justice Beach, so far as interest on investments of the fund were concerned is s1,607.61. Marsden had agreed, it was claimed by his coun- sel to pay s1,532.61.
 The original fund was s4,50O In cash and $500 in mortgages. As the mortgages in which the money had been invested were paid off Marsden would write in his report that the income and principal had been plac- ed in various banks. On his report instead of entering the names of the banks, the word "deposit" would be entered. The other trustees brought action because they claimed inability to determine where the deposits were made.

EEEKS IN HARMONY
 WITH CHARITY DEPT.
Agrees Not to Push Request for
 S2,5OO Transfer
TO ASK CITY FOR SiO,M0
Praises Supt. Doyle and Recognizes Force of His Argument Regarding Need of Money Now On Hand for Own Patients.

Procurement of Charity Super- intendent John Doyle's views against the proposed transfer Of s2,5o0 from his department to the board of health for tuberculosis relief work has resulted in 8 change in the plans Of proponents of the transfer who have now decided 10 ask the board of finance and taxation direct- ly for an appropriation of s1o.o6o or more.
 Dr. T. E. Reeks, who. with Pre.i- dent c. W. Upson Of the Tubercu- losis Relief society, had preached the subject of transfers in a con- ference with Mayor Weld, after reading of Supt. Doyle's opposition in the Herald yesterday declared he is In absolute agreement with MT. Doyle's views, and that he is con- Wnced the charity department needs every cent 1t now receives from the city to carry on its own work.
 Hampering the operations of the charity department should be stu- diously avoided. pr. Reeks ayers, anu lIt CtNLdIC Cu llt w.t. icNc A1o hand in any movement which might interfere with Mir. Doyle in his work. The former health superin- tendent regards Supt. Doyle as ono Of the most efficient men who have filled the position.
 The plan of pr. Reeks was to have available for distribution by the health department nurses, a sum Of money which might be laid out for disqualification and providing home treatments and comforts for tuberculosis sufferers who are too proud to ask for charity. Money received from the charity depart ment carries with 1t the necessity of a formal entry in the office records. Prior to the superintendency of Mir. Doyle the names of all who received aid in this way were printed in the municipal record. Doyle success fully opposed giving publicity to un- fortunate persons whose illness made it necessary that they call on the city for assistance. Dr, Rocks suggested a transfer from the char ity departments tuberculosis fund and mentioned $500 as safe amount.
 Supt. Doyle objected on the ground that his department receiv- ed only S4,5o0 for tuberculosis work and the entire amount was given for institutional treatments. In the first six months of the year nearly one-half the amount was expended for this purpose only, and MT. Doyle reasoned that the remaining amount will be required to round out the year. If funds were to be taken for the purposes sought by Dr. Reeks, 1t would be necessary for the city to make a new appropriation to the charity department, he warned.

N. J., today put the po- lice Of New Britain. Hartford and West Hartford on a hunt for Zig nut Rell of 200 High street, who is said to have left the city or is in hiding here. While there are some features Of the woman's story which the police heard with skepticism. they were bending every effort this afternoon 10 To- cate Rell, who. it is said, is well known in the local bootleg ring and answers 10 more than one nickname.
 According to Mrs. Zeppwskl, she came 10 visit her parents, Mir. and Mrs. William Pierkowski Of l9 AL den street and yesterday, wishing to go to 54 South Prospect street, Hartford, on business, asked Tony Moroski. who conducts a garage on Silver street, to drive her.

 Leaving Hartford about 5:S0 last evening, they drove through Elm wood and West Hartford, and under cover Of darkness, when no traffic was on the road on South Main street, West Hartford, Rell punched her in the mouth and took s1S5 which she had in her dress. Then he told her to get out Of the car, as it needed repairs, and as soon as she alighted, he jumped inside and drove off, leaving her alone. she said.

 Early this morning she was in a corridor In the hotel when she met Rell. who had spent the night in a room near hers. She said she was not aware that he was in the hotel. She asked him for the money and he said he would give it to her as soon as the bank opened, as he had taken it from her only for safe keeping and had no intention of keeping it.
 She evidently did not believe him, for at S:25 this morning she report cd the matter to the police.

SISTER MAKES CLAIM FOR DONOVAN ESTATE
Sends Representative to Court Hearing in
 Southington
Special to the Herald)

Southington, Sept. 30 Oql - The appearance of a lone woman from Boston with the claim that she rep resented another woman in Boston who says she is sister of the late James A. Donovan of this town. has jeopardized the claims of almost two score of cousins for a share in the estate of the late Miss Jane Dono- van which amounts 10 approximately sl25,000. Miss Donovan died sud- denly last March. and left no signed will and several hearings have been hel dbefore Judge of Probate Thom- as Welch in an effort to settle the estate.
 The Boston woman appeared at the most recent hearing which was held in the probate court last Mon- day. She explained that the woman who claims to be a sister to Mir. Donovan. the father to the testator, was unable to appear at the hear ing and she requested that time be given for her to place proof of her relationship before the court. Judge Welch gave her until October 25 to prove the claim.
 In the event that 1t is proved that the woman is q sister of the late Mir. Donovan. her claim to the es- tate will supersede all the other claims of first and second cousins. After the death of Miss Donovan and the notice of the first hearing of claims on the estate, relatives from all parts Of Connecticut and also from Massachusetts, put in an appearance for a share in the es- tate. At subsequent hearings, Judge Welch eliminated many of these un- til the number is about half of what lit was at the first hearing.
 Because she had no near relatives, Miss Donovan's estate would have to be divided between her closest oi kin upon proof of relationship. These were so numerous that 1t was im- possible for the court to decide which claims were bona flde and which were not.
 The latest surprise to be sprung in the case Is liable to set all the present claims at naught and should the relationship of the Boston wo- man be proved, it Is said that she will inherit the entire estate.
