London, March 11.-With a million
coal miners striking in England, TO-
600 out IN Germany with prospects
that this number will be doubled With
in a few days, and walkout i'll
France, it was believed here, today,
that the entire coal supply of Europe
may be tied up.
Reports from Paris stated that GO
per cent. of the miners went on "a
hour strike, today. 1t is believed
here that this is only the forerunner
of general coal strike.
In Germany, the price of coal is
already soaring. Seventy thousand
employees 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 rs
have the British miners.
A general coal strike in the three
countries would have an alarming ef-
feet upon Europe. The navies of the
three great powers would be render
ed practically useless and millions of
workers, in addition to the strikers,
wou be thrown out of work because
of the tie-up of the big factories.
1t was believed here, today, the
Belgian miners would refuse to work
if an unlimited strike was declared in
ton among the workers in South
Europe and the labor war will prob
ably spread there too, the labor lead
ers said.
The Paris strike was planned as an
object lesson. The union leaders

To set at rest report affecting his

In his plea in abatement filed to-

Mrs. McGuinness was the late Ella N.
Riggs of Cornwall, n. Y. I have an
acknowledgment of this made by Mss
Riggs before witnesses and also have
the evidence of physician.
Cammann declares that a few years
before his wife died Mrs. McGuinness
demanded financial assistance from
Mrs Cammann, cleaning 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
