 Drunk.

Admitting that she was thrown from an automobile in which she and several men were passengers, Julia Taylor of Milford denied before State Referee Roraback this morning that she was intoxicated, although a newspaper report of the accident stat ed that she was. Mrs. Taylor is con- testing the divorce proceedings brought against her by William P Taylor of this city.
 She made startling charges of cruel ty against her husband and claimed she was compelled to leave him in 1916. The wife said Taylor threw a kettle of hot water at her, pulled her around the floor by the hair and often beat her. She also said Tay- Tor compelled her to undergo five ilIe- gal operations.
 Mrs. Taylor, a good looking young woman, was asked by the husbands counsel, in regard to her acquaint. ance with various men. She would not admit that any of the men were more than personal acquaintances.' 9 She was asked about Walter Ford, but said he visited her only once in Milford. Mrs. Taylor denied taking an automobile ride with a man known as 'FBlondy.' She said this mans last name was Beard, but she could not remember his first name.
 Referee Roraback reserved decision in the case.

SUB-C COMMITTEE RESUMES WORK Main Issue Is Hard Coal Workers Demands For
 Increase.

New York, March 16.---The sub committee of operators and miners appointed to negotiate a new wage agreement for the anthracite coal miners, resumed it's conferences here today.
 Whether the mine workers and the employers are going to reach an arn- icaIble settlement by April 1 when the present agreements expire, will de- pend largely upon the progress made by the committee during its sessions this week when the main issues in volved will be taken up.
 The demands of the miners having been discussed generally during last weeks conferences, it is expected that the committee will now take III. each clause and definitely dispose of it. The operators will also present several counter proposals, it is stated which will be considered. The main issues to be disposed of will be the hard ocal workers de" mands for a 50 per cent. increase, a five day, six hour and a "closed , shop
 1 The operators. it is understood, are prepared to resist these demands to the limit with the exception of the
 wage increase which they are reported
 as prepared to compromise by offer
 ing raise of from 90 to 40 Der cent.

 If the enemy had only known D said Admiral Sims, "aI1 he need have done was to make a series of bluffs involving little risk to himself and we would have done the rest. Ship ping would have been paralyzed."

WOMAN WINS ON
 APPEALED CLAIM

After delib berating but a short time a jury in the superior court this afternoon awarded Sarah J. Lyddy of this city damages of $2.117.36 in her suit against Michael .Conlin, admin istrator on the estate of Charles Con- lin, late of Trumbull. Mrs. LyddJ asked for $2,O00 damages so the jury gave her the entire amount of her claim with interest.
 It was alleged by Mrs. Lyddy that she loaned Charles Conlin $2,000 iB 1916. He died in 1918 without re- paying her, although he had pronis- ed to do so, she said. She claimed she had loaned Conlin money on pre- vious occasions and there had been no writing to show the transaction. Other relatives of Conlin, who con- tested the claim, said the deceased did not borrow money from Mrs. Lyddy as she alleged. The matter came to the superior court on an ap- peal from the probate court of this city which disaIlowed all but small part of the claim.
