Best Year in Soft Coal.

Pittsburgh.-The Pittsburgh Coal
Company, with an increase of $780,.
7S6 in net earnings for 1913 has just
closed its best year since 1907. A
report made to the annual meeting in
Jersey City shows that the gross earn
ings from all sources were S6,421, 702,
an increase over 1912 of 1929, PA,
or 1913 per cent, and the net earn.
ings, after all proper charges, includ-
ing full depreciation, were S2,726,2 69,
against S2,025,4S3, in 1912, and ST.
$3.50 in 1907. The years net gain
of 500, 7S6, or 35 per cent, in the
excess of 10 per cent. on the prefer
red stock outstanding, after payment
of an increase in tax, personal injury
settlements and marine losses over
1912 of $2S7,000. These profits came
from a total tonnage produced and
handled, including coke, of "a, 7O4, 204
net tons, an increase over 1912 of
644,S22, or 2,6S per cent. The report
says a conservative expectation of re-
suits for 1914 is warranted, although
there has come a more general feeling
Of encouragement, with some improve
ment in demand.

GIRL RESCUED
FROM Mine TOMB
Unconscious From Injuries, She
Escapes Death Miracle
ALIVE AFTER 1OO-FOOT FALL
Walking Along Mountain Path With
Others Miss Doyle Sank From
cave-ln-Miners Pulled Her
to the Surface.

Shamokin.-After Mary Doyle, a IT.
year-old schoolgirl, had fallen 100 feet
down a mine breach near the Rich
ards colliery, she found herself in total
darkness and almost frightened to
death. She was also covered with
bruises. She had been walking
along a mountain path, talking to
several girl friends, when the path
caved In. She was in the lead, and
as she sank from sight her companions
barely escaped. Close behind the girls
vas John Back, a miner, on his way
home from work. Hearing Miss
Doyle's friends call Cor help, he ran
to the scene, called to the missing girl
and was overioyed to hear her family
answer. She told him she had fallen
a long distance, but did not think any
Of her limbs had been broken. Bach
told her to remain as quiet as pos
sible, whereupon he ran to a house
and procured a clothesline. Again
reaching the cave-in, he lowered one
end Of the rope to Miss Doyle, who
family told him she was too weak
to tie 1t about her. Several miners
appeared, tied the rope about Bach
and lowered him fully 100 feet, until
he found the girl, who had become
unconscious. He tied the rope about
her and had the men pull her up, after
which he also was drawn to the sur
face. Miss Doyle was resuscitated
and taken home, where doctors found
she was badly bruised.

To UNITE SECTS
IN TRUCE OF GOD
Thirty-Seven Branches Of Chris
tianity in Move.
FOR A GREAT CONFERENCE.
European Nations Are Asked To Join
In the First General Council
Of Church Since the
Reformation.

New York.-The greatest effort IN
the history Of Christianity to unite all
the sects of the world which held the
Christian faith was proclaimed by a
committee representing 81 branches OF
Christianity in the United States.
This committee has no authority to
declare Christendom united, but 1t rep
resents the attempt of the majority OF
the worlds religions to meet, If pos
sible, within the next five years, to
combine in a Truce Of God"
In 1910 the House of Bishops OF the
Episcopal Church, convened in Gin
c~lnnati, appointed a commission to be-
gin the movement for universal rell-
gious peace. This commission re-
oeived it's first endowment from the
late ]. p. Morgan, and at once APP
preached the official bodies Of all sects
with an invitation to join In prepara'
ton for the worldwide ~amalgamation
OF Christian churches.
During the last four years repre-
s~entatives of 81 sects have reported to
the Episcopal commission that they
believe in the one people of God
throughout the world, and have con
stituted themselves an advisory com
mittee, endowed with power to invite
all the creeds Of all nations to confer.
Apart Since Reformation.
A general council of all Christen-
dom has not been held since the period
Known as the Reformation, in the
Sixteenth Century, because since that
time the various branches of Chris
tianity have done little except to
emphasize the theological and liturgi'
cal differences by reason OF which
they had become e%stranged.
The coming general conference, OF
Ecumenical Council, as such a gath
ering was called in the early centuries
Of Christianity, will meet not to talk
Of these differences, but to agree on
their common beliefs. AS a solid col
lege of judges authoritatively consti
tuted for united decisive action the CO
operative verdict of the assembly will
definitely establish the unity OF just
that part Of Christendom which 1t rep.
resents.

NEW DIPLOMAT
IN HOT WATER
Ambassador Page Must Explain
His London Speech.
HIS OLD ENEMY AFTER HIM
Ambassadors Reported Definition
OF Monroe Doctrine and Re-
marks On Canal Stir
Congress.

Washington.-Walter Hines Page,
American Ambassador to Great Brit
ain, was made the target Of inquiry
in a resolution adopted by the SEN
ate calling upon the Secretary OF
State to investigate alleged public as
sertIons by the Ambassador relative
to the Monroe Doctrine and the Pan
ANA Canal.
Senator Chamberlain, aroused over
reports of q speech by Ambassador
Page in London before the Associated
Chambers of Commerce, introduced
the resolution of inquiry and his re-
quest for immediate consideration re-
suited in its adoption without debate.
The resolution requests the Secre-
tary of State to procure a copy for
the use of the Senate Of Ambassador
Pages address, and to call upon the
Ambassador for evidence upon which
ne based the alleged statement that
1T added greatly to the pleasure OF
the United States in the building OF
the Panama Canal to know that the
British would profit most by its use"
Particular request is made In the
resolution for a verbatim report OF
that portion Of the Ambassadors ad-
dress in which he is reported to have
defined the Monroe Doctrine as mean
ing merely that 1.-THE United States
would prefer that no European Gov
ernments would gain more land In
the New World"
Not Reported Verbatim.
After the resolution had been
adopted Senators heard Of dispatches
from London saying the Ambassadors
speech was delivered extemporane-
ously late in the evening and not re-
ported verbatim, and quoting Mr.,
Page as explaining that his reference
to British use Of the Panama Canal
was in a light vein. 1t was taken for
granted at the Capitol, however, that
in response to the State Departments
request the Ambassador would furnish
his recollection of just what he had
said, with the desired explanation.
No attempt to oppose the resolution
was made when Senator Chamberlain
offered It, the usual custom being to
pass such measures as a matter OF
courtesy.
Later in the day a similar resolu
ton was introduced in the House by
Representative Murray, Of Oklahoma
a Democrat, but 1t did not get before
! the body for discussion or action.

CIGARMAKERS TO
STOP LICKING"
Commissioner Jackson Issues
Notice That Practice Shall Cease
RESULT OF INSPECTIONS
Operatives in Factories Were Wetting
Tips Of Cigars With Their Lips
During Process Of Manufacture
Undesirable and Unsafe.

Especial Harrisburg Correspondence.)
Neutrality-suspicious. was given by
Commissioner John Price Jackson, Of
the State Department of Labor and In
dustry, that people in charge Of cigar
factories must Immediately stop the
practice of cigar makers placing tips
OF cigars in their mouths during man
ufacture. This order is the result Of
inspections recently made by the divi-
sion Of hygiene of the department,
who found that operatives were wet
ting the tips of cigars with their lips.
OF thirty-eight factories inspected in
the western end Of the State it vas
found that in eight the cigarmakers
were putting the end Of the cigars
into their mouths. 'Inasmuch as the
practice Of licking or wetting the end
Of the cigar seems to be a more or
less prevalent practice and one which
is not only unsafe to the operative, but
certainly undesirable for the smoker,
the commissioner gives notice that
this practice must be absolutely done
away with" said Dean Jackson.

ANOTHER WHITE
HOUSE ROMANCE
Secretary MCAdoo TO Marry
Miss Eleanor Wilson.
PRETTY SECRET LEAKS OUT
The Finaneier OF the Administration
Is Fifty, While the Youngest
Daughter OF the President
10 Half His Age.

Washington, d. C.-The rumored
engagement of Miss Eleanor X. VIII
son, youngest daughter Of the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson, and Mr.. Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo, which is not de-
MED at the White House and which
has gained such credence with the
many friends Of both that the formal
announcement is looked for any day,
has set all social Washington talking.
Mr.. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treas
ury, when approached upon the sub
ject, said 1t would not be proper for
him to make any comment. Secretary
McAdoo has been a frequent visitor at
the White House this past year and
he knew the family of the President
well before coming to the capital to
take up his duties as head of the
Treasury Department.
They have been seen together much
the last few months and they are fire.
quent partners at dances, while those
who wish to please them usually seat
them next each other at dinner parties.
Those who are superstitious are re-
calling that It was Miss Eleanor Will
son, who caught the bridal bouquet OF
her sister, Miss Jessie Wilson, now
Mrs. Frances D. Sayre, when the lat
ter tossed it into the crowd of friends
and relatives who stood about to wish
her bon voyage as she left the White
House for her honeymoon.
Miss Eleanor Wilson is the youngest
daughter of the President and frankly
admits being fond of society, so, of
course, society is fond of her, and she
has had what q girl calls "a good
time" since she came to live at the
White House just a year ago. She
dances gracefully, rides well, loves to
motor, to play tennis and golf and, in
fact, is q perfectly healthy, normal
girl with a love Of the big outdoors
and a wholesome enjoyment of all the
social amusements.
She is just t~wenty.four, while Secre-
tary McAdoo is fifty. She was edu-
Gated in private schools at Princeton
and has studied art in Philadelphia.
The Secretary is the conceiver of
the Hudson River tunnel system. He
organized the company which built it
and was its president till 1918. He is
a lawyer of New York and q widower
with six children-three sons and
three daughters, two of whom are
married. He is a grandfather, a son
having been born recently to his
eldest daughter. Mr.. Frances Nc
Adoo married Miss Mccormick, daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Isaac Emerson, last sum
mer, the President and his family
motoring wei for the occasion. Sec
rotary McAdoo is a native of Georgia
and son Of Judge William G. McAdoo.
He was q student of the University of
Tennessee.
While the rumor Of the engagement
would not be confirmed or denied by
the White House, some persons go as
far as to say that the White House Is
putting up n joke on the public and
that the real fance Of the Presidents
daughter is not the Secretary, but his
son. William, Jr., who is a student at
Princeton.

Demurs to Coal Tax Bill.

A demurrer to the action in equity
brought by the Peoples Coal Com
pany of Scranton, to test the consti-
tutionality of the anthracite coal tax
act of 1913, was filed by the Attorney
Generals department in behalf of
Auditor-G General Powell and State
Treasurer Young. The demurrer de-
clares that the Dauphin County Court
is without jurisdiction; that the bill
does not state any facts emitting the
company to relief; that the bill con
tains many wholly irrelevant, imma-
terial, %scandalous and impertinent
matters and does not show on its face
that the plaintiff is entitled to any
relief which it seeks" that the bill
does not show the act to be ~unconsti-
tutional in any respect.
