Coal Prices Made High

ferences in prices in this city and
Philadelphia The Charles Warner
Company made the same arguments
as a warrant for the higher cost of
coal in Wilmington, but did not say
that the Philadelphia dealers were
allowed a shortage of 40 pounds on
each ton.
A letter from the Philadelphia COM
pany. in which they reply to a letter
asking for information regarding the
shortage of 40 pounds per ton al
lowed by the Pennsylvania laws is in
part as follows
"The Pennsylvania laws do not al
low a shortage of 40 pounds on each
ton of coal They do, however. make
a provision allowing 40 pounds for
variation in scales, but the consumer
is really entitled to 2240 pounds to
each and every ton. Our wagons car
ry from one to five tons and we do not
take advantage of the Pennsylvania
law, and deliver strictly 2240 pounds,
not 2200 pounds
Enclosed in the letter was COPY of
an affidavit made by 40 coal weighers
of the company on March 13, 1913. be-
fore George A. Malone, a notary pub
lie, of Philadelphia. in which was
stated that to the best of their knowl-
edge and belief that every ton of coal
leaving the yards of the company
weighed 2240 pounds and that all
scales of the company we're correct.

Literary Mystery.

A literary mystery Of a hundred

centenary number, recently issued, of
The Newry Telegraps. an Ulster trt-
weekly. In its pages on April 10,
1917, under the simple head of Poe.

most perfect ode In the language
The Burial of Sir John Moore"
Byron, or Campbell, or any Of the
others to whom this poem was vart-
ously ascribed, would doubtless have
been proud to claim 1t. But the au-
thor was the obscure curate of Bally-
cloy, In Tyrone, Rev. Charles Wolfe,
and the fame of the piece was but a
p~osthumous fame for him. Not until
his death, of consumption, in 1923. at
the early age Of 80. did the authorship
become known to the world. And
Wolfe, who wrote much other verse
of merit, is remembered only by that
M poem which sprang from the col,
umns of a provincial newspaper to
universal recognition In the big worlt
of letters.

Washington-From present indications
the mammoth suffrage parade, with So
900 women from all parts of the civil
LIKED world marching under the banner
of "Votes for women" promises to be
the event of the Inauguration.
The parade has grown to such proper
tions that it will present the greatest
demonstration known in the history of
the world on behalf of womankind. From
far-of Australia a delegation is coming.
China, Norway and Sweden will be rep
resented by attractive delegations in ma

Five thousand college women, repre-
senting almost every woman's college in
America, with huge delegations from
Vassar, Wellesley and Bryn Mawr, will
portray the hold the suffrage movement
has on the American college women.
With the full permission of Uncle Sam
a group of government women clerks,
numbering 1000, will march along, car
rying the banner of equal rights for all.
In pathetic contrast to the society and
professional women found by scores in
the ranks will be a company OF garment

INCOME TAX IS
NOW THE Law
50 STATES, MORE THAN THREE.
FOURTHS, APPROVE IT. :.
PASS IT AT EXTRA SESSION
Government Will Derive 500, 900, 900 .
Year Revenue-Incomes Below
$4,000 Will Not Be Affected.

Washington.-Dircct taxes upon the
incomes of citizens of the United States,
whether derived from idle capital or
from the conduct of business, were made
possible by the ratification of the six
teenth amendment to the federal consti-
tuition. Delaware, Wyoming and New
Mexico, endorsing the income tax amend
mest through their respective legisla
lures, completed a list OF 80 states that
has approved it, two more than thu
three-fourths necessary for its final adop-
ton.
Leaders in congress predict that
through this authorization the law,
which will be passed to levy the tax
upon American incomes, will be intro
duced as soon as the extra session opens.
Its exact terms have not been decided
upon, but it is believed it will exempt
all incomes below $4,000, and will pro
vide a tax of one per cent upon the ma.
jority of personal incomes that do not
run to an excessive figure.
The annual amount that the govern.
ment may realize under the income tax
is estimated by leaders in congress at
approximately 500, 000, 900. This would
include the 30,OO0,o 900 collected under
the present corporation tax.

MRS. ASTOR UNHAPPY 0 N
Widow Of John Jacob Has Not Even
the Consolation Of Great Riches
In Her Bereavement.

"The most unhappy m in New
York" is the ann in which a friend
recently referred to Mrs. John Jacob
Astor, writes a correspondent. She
mourns the husband who was taken
from her In such tragic fashion by
the wreck of the Titanic, Of course.
But the first poignant sting Of that be-
reavement is perhaps past. Now she
is beginning to view her future-to
gun.
She is but a young woman-a
young oma of beauty. All her short
life she has lived fully. She had a
wonderful capacity for enjoyment. 1t
was her wholesome, hearty. open-arm-
ed acceptance of the goods hat youth
and Astounding health and strength
brought her hat first attracted the
attention Of the man who later mar
ried her. That marriage was bit
terly criticized. And yet those who
know her say that it was a marriage
OF love only. Perhaps others were
ambitious for her. She had no thought

come as a commonplace to John ia
cob Astor's wife.
And then" said her friend, after
but a brief honeymoon the skies crash
ed down. The income from $4,000, 900
was settled upon her. But that in
~come-large as it isis barely suf-
ficient to maintain properly the great
Astor home, a life estate in which Is
hers by the will. She could close that
home, but to do so would be to rob
her son of a part of his Aston heritage.
In the midst of riches she is almost
poor. She has not sought to take a
position in society, of course, nor will
she, even when her time of mourning
Is over. II has been made more clear
ly apparent to her hat the friends of
the first Mrs. Aston are still loyal. BY
the terms Of her husbands will, she
will be sborn Of practically all of the
fortune which is now hers If she were
to marry again. She Is left almost
~alone-except for a few servants--iD

SHOE COMBINE Is LAWFUL
Sherman Law Not Violated by Organic
ing Company.

Washington.-For the first time the
supreme court OF the United States held
in effect, in the Shoe machinery trust
case that the Sherman antitrust law
does not forbid the mere combining Of
non-competitors in an industry. SJlic-
itor General Gulliet for the government,
had contended that if the combination
brought into one hand an undue pro
portion of the trade it was forbidden
by the antitrust law.
"Thc distinteeration aimed at by the
statute does not extend to reducing all
manufacture to isolated units of the low
est degree" declared Justice Holmes IN
announcing the unanimous decision Of
the court that the mere organization OF
the United Shoe Machinery Company by
the heads of several non-competing
groups of shoe manufacturers had not
been a violation of the law.

CUTTING
PARCEL POST RATES
HITCHCOCK WOULD INCREASE THE
WEIGHT LIMIT.
ONE-CENT LETTER POSTAGE
He Recommends That Rates on Second
Glass Mail Be Increased-Expcnses

$45, 10000

Washington. - Postmaster General
Hitehcock's annual report tentatively
suggests reduction of some parcel post
rates and increasing the limit of weight
beyond IL pounds; recommends civil
pensions for postal employees; an increase
In rates on second-class mail which may
pave the way for one-cent letter postage;
the consolidation of the third and fourth
classes so books and papers may be for
warded by parcel post; and POINTS out
that during his administration, expense
OF operating the postal service has been
cut down $45,Oo0,0o0.
In course of a statement on tie condi-
ton of postal finances, Mr.. Hitchcock
says in his report:
"In 1911, for the first time since 1883,
postal receipts exceeded postal expend-
~itures, leaving a surplus instead OF a
deficit. A heavy loss of revenue in 1912,
due to the extraordinary amount of
franked matter mailed in the political
campaign, created a temporary deficit,
but since the close of the fiscal year the
income of the department again has out
stripped expenses.
"The year preceding the present adj
ministration was marked by the largest
postal deficit on record, amounting to
ST., 50o,o 600. During the next two years
the deficit was greatly reduced and later
eliminated. When compared with the
financial showing of four years ago the
reports of income and expense for subse-
quent years indicate an aggregate saw
ing of about $4,000, 00O."
