young white woman who said that a
burly negro. Albert McLaughlin, 33,

With her body a mass of ugly blue
bruises and wearing a wrapper fur

tattered nightdress which she, wore
when i-'he jumped through the win
dow of her room, early today, after
severing ropes which bound her to
the bedpost, the woman told the sick
ening details of the terrible indigni
ties she has been forced to undergo
at the band? of the negro.
McLaughlin was arrested after he
had drawn a revolver and put up a
stiff fight with Policemen Augusta and
Brady. He declared the woman mar
ried h!m at Providence, R. I., last
fall, but was unable to produce a
marriage certificate or to tell tha
name of the minister he says married

She said she was decoyed to Mc
laughlins, last November, and that,
ince that time, has been either tied
to a bedpost or kept under constant
surveillance by the negro.

gine near Branford, Conn., this morn
ing slightly injuring Freight Engi
neer A. G. Bentley. of New Haven,

train. The East Haven tower .man,

France, it was believed here, today,
thai the entire coal supply of Europe
may be tied up.
' Reports from Paris stated that CO
per cent, of the minera went on a 24
hour strike, today. It is believed
here that this is only the forerunner
of a general coal strike.
In Germany, the price of coal 1s
already soaring. Seventy thousand
employes refused to go to work, to
day, and the strike leaders predicted
that they would be able to tie up the
German Industries as effectually as
have the British miners. -
A general coal ftrike in the three
countries would have an alarming etV
feet upon Europe. The navies of the
three great powers .would be render

worker's, in addition to the strikers,
, won d be thrown out of work because
of the tie-up of the big factories.
It was believed here, today, the

if an unlimited strike was declared In

presented are just. They also wanted
to show that they were a unit in sup

These demands include the eight
hour work day, an old age pension of
two francs daily to be given for the
worker at 60, and a minimum wage
scale modelled somewhat after the
demands of the British miners.
. It . was deemed advisable to make

through Kissel, acting as the agent
for an "unknown lender," - $1,250,000 j
for h's various . ereterpr'ses, . pledging
his stock in the Pennsylvania Re-i

Romance Of
Past Disclosed
Cammann Suit
Claimant of $278,000 Estate of
Dead Woman as Daughter
Alleged to be Child of
Another
To set at rest a report affecting his
dead wife's memory, Henry Lorillard
Cammann, a wealthy Greenwich resi
dent and a member of the wool firm
of H. W. F. Mall & Co.. of 70 Fifth
i avenue. New York, has revealed an
other dead woman's secret in papers
j filed today in ; the Superior court.
Cammann, who is executor on the es
tate of his wife, Grace H. C. Cam
mann, has been sued by Anita Louisa
McGuinness of Greenwich, who claims
to bt the daughter of Mrs. Cammann.
Mrs. McGuinness wants a share of the
$287,000 estate left by Mrs. Cammann,
and has taken an appeal from the de
cision of the Greenwich probate court
in admitting the Cammann will.
In his plea in abatement filed to
day in the Superior court, Henry Lor
illard Can'mann declares Mrs. Mc
Guinness is not the daughter of Mrs.
Cammama He says, "The mother of
Mrs. McGuinness was the late Ella N.
Riggs of Cornwall, N. Y. I have an
acknowledgment of this made by M'ss
Riggs before witnesses and also have
the evidence of a physician."
Cammann declares that a few years
before his wife died Mrs. McGuinness
demanded financial assistance from
Mrs. Cammann, cleaming to be her
daughter. In previous years Mrs.
Cammann had taken an interest in the
young woman because she had been
asked to do so by relatives. In or
der tn settle the matter Cammann and
the Rev. Dr. Selden, a prominent
Greenwich clergyman, went to Corn
wail and saw Miss Riggs. She ad
mitted that Mrs. McGuinness was her
daughter. Further than that she
would say nothing and two months
afterward she died from worry caused
Lv the discovery of her secret. It
is Fa'd thai the father of Mrs. Mc
Guinness was an officer stationed at
iWest Point.
It is expected that there will be
some sensational testimony when Mrs.
McGuinness appears in the Superior
court to prove her right tc a portion
f Mrs. Cammann's estate.

Lord's Prayer Does Not
Mean Passive Submission
to Things That Are Evil
It Calls for Militant Action
to Fulfill Lord 's Iirposes.
Says.Bishop Brewster.
With three words from the "Lord's
Prayer" as the text of hia sermon, tha
- --
... - . ,
cese of Connecticut preached at the
; noon-day service at Trinity Episcopal
church today, before a congregation
that fdled the chapel to the doors.
"Thy Kingdom Come," was the
phrase selected by Bishop Brewster-
: as the topic of. his discourse, and hp
made it the cneans of putting a new
interpretation upon the Lord's Prav-
er, stating that such phrases as "Thy
Kingdom Come," "Thy Will heDonc."
have been very generally miscon
strued as meaning passive submission
to the will of -the Lord, when thy
should properly be taken to invoke an
active militant spirit of determination
to assist in fulfilling the Lord's will.
Incidentally the bishop criticised
the selfish individualism of tho pres
ent age and said that prayerf are be
ginning to find their answer in the
increasing tendency to recognize soc
ial obligations and duties to the com
munity. .
"1 have not time to discuss what is
most needed here in Bridgeport," said
the biship: "but if you will make usg
of your religion, you will' ascertain
what's wrong in Bridgeport and-then
go to work unitedly, seriously, earn
ently and wisely to make things" bet-,
ter."' , . . -
Bishop Brewster opened . hia "ser
mon bv calling attention to therfact
that "Thy kingdom come" and othr
phrases from "the model prayei" are
addressed in the second person singu
lar, which, he said; is one of Import
ant features of this prayer. "Th
third person is abstract and remote,"
he .'aid. "while the second person is
practical and concrete and makes the
I prayer seem direct intercourse with
our Liord. A hody must t vmr e and
sacramental, so they, releeated the
kingdom -to the next world. Time
forbids me to enter more fully into
this interesting subject.
" Thy kingdom come on earth,
for that is the real meaning of the
prayer and the church is a great
aeent. instrumental the Kinsrdom of
God in the making aMiner to bring
about God's rule on earth throughout
human life. This influence is at
work, not from the outside Inward,
but from the inside outward, for 'the
Kirvp-riom of'God is within you.'
" Thy. w'll be done.' This does not
nipan passive submission to the divine
will, but is ml'itant and aggressive
and . progressive, invasive, cogent,
comoplline-. a prayer to . service, to
actively aid in the building of God's
kingdom upon earth."
