Few, If any, consumers or coai in mis
tjty will be nffected by the Invalidation
ol the anthracite coal tax law of 1913,
It was said today by an official of one
of the most prominent coal companies In
Philadelphia.
He declared that tho price of coal to
the consumer was not raised by dealers
In this city to cover tho amount of tho
til under the 1913 net, except In a few
cases. Indeed, he said, the ultimate con
urner did not have to pay a higher price
inywhere In the State except In a few
imall towns
His statement was made In answer to
published reports that the price of coal
bid been raised by retailers in anticipa
tion of having to pay the tax nnd that
the money thus realized was held by re
ntiers. "In some cases," he said, "coal pro
Jjeers raised the price to wholesale nnd
retail dealers, but the price list of the
retailer was not advanced. The retailer
itooa the loss, believing the lawi would
be dec'ared unconstitutional. In other
cites the producers hilled coal at the old
price, adding the amount of tax as a
Kparate Item and making an arrange
ment that if the law were found Invalid
the amount thus paid would be refunded.
Id auch cases tho retailers and whole
tilers will get their money back from the
producers. I do not know how much
money was collected by producers In that
wiy now becoming subject to refund."

NBW YORK, Oct 29.-Hnllrofld.i oper

In the United 8tates have Joined In a pro
test to Congrews nnd the public against
renewal of the efforts to effect the
pahsage of the Moon railway tnall pay

mittee on Hallway Mall Iay, represent
ing the railroads.
Tho measure was Introduced In the last

was nmde a rider on the poMorrleo ap-m-ipilBtion
bill. The Postmaster General
Ins announced that it will be reintroduced
when Cnngicss convenes In December,

1'ndcr the terms of the Moon bill, the
Postmaster General would be authorized
lo establish tho "space plan" of payment

hauling a whole carload of mall than for

HOTEL TELEPHONE GIRL
SLIPS AWAY AND WEDS
"Yes, Boys, We're Married,"
Says Bar Cashier as They
Return From Elkton
Had the girl telephone operator of the
Rltz-Cnrlton walked quietly through the
lobby on her way to work, looking neither
to the right nor to the left, and had the
bar cashier slipped unobtrusively through
n side entrance to his post, this story
would not have been written.
But neither of them acted up to the
schedule. In the first place, she hur
ried In in a flutter of excitement, blushed
guiltily when she arrived opposite the
desk and by her manner caused clerks
and bellboys to "lamp" her. Then on
top of that the cashier appeared as
though he Just couldn't keep very far
away from her nnd grinned then he
laughed outright.
"Yes, boys, we're married. We ran
down to Elkton to get it dono and have
Just returned," the benedick ndmltted,
with pride.
Just then the girl shyly withdrew her
hand from her muff and, sure enough,
thcro sparkled the golden band. Then
she fled. A guest heard about It, bought
a big bouquet and threw It over tho desk,
almost smothering her.
The girl is Miss Margaret McCabe, of
1825 Brunner street, 20 years old, nnd the
man Arthur A. Thormann, GC25 Stewart
street, three years her senior. They were
oft work at noon yesterday and seized
the opportunity to elopo to Elkton. De
spite the rumored difficulties experienced
by couples who go to Elkton with matri
monial Intentions, they got a license and
had the knot tied in "no time." They re
turned to work at 6 o'clock tho samo
day. They met three months ago In the
hotel.

"Living an I do. but a minute's walk

IN EVERY HEART,
LOVE OF CHILDREN
In return for their phllantrophy, and It
seemed to my mind like selling some
thing tangible.
nut when I started out the first day of
this campaign. I thought that I was golnsj
to ask people to give me something for
nothing, and that consequently the task
would bo unpleasant, nnd perhaps embar
rassing. Then, while riding to see my
first prospect (for that's what we call
the people on our lists) tho thought
flashed across me that I would be offer
ing him the greatest bargain In the world
In return for his money; for I would be
selling him Just so much happiness, tho
Joy of alleviating suffering In poor little
babies. With this thought In mind. I
smiled to myself, for I remembered rend
ing somewhere that happiness was a,
thing no one could buy, and here was I
going forth to sell 111 tt seemed like a
paradox, and, still smiling, I entered mjr
prospect's ofllre.
"Walking right up to him. I said:
"'Mr. So. nnl Po. I want j,our checV
for JtiOO for the Children's Hospital.'
"Smilingly, ho told me he could not see
hla way clear to give mo that much, but
thHt be loved children, nnd realized the
worthiness of tho campaign, and would
glvo me $100.
"I told him t thought be really ought
to give mo the ether JIOO. too; but I
thanked htm. and left bis office wonder
Ini? whether. If I had arproached him dif
ferently. I might not have been more suc
cessful. My next prospect was not In;
so I told my chauffeur lo go to tho of
fice of the third man on my list. To
reach this ofllce I had to drive past the
omce of my hundred-dollar friend. Di
rectly In front of It a crowd had gath
ered. Stopping my car an If by an Im
pulse, I saw that a little boy had Just
been hurt by a passing wagon. Leaning
over the child, with a look of compassl n
on his face, was the man who had Rien
me the $100 a little before!
"I called to him to bring the child to
my car, and he and an officer who was
about to send for an ambulance, got In,
nnd we drove at once to the Children's

ously hurt, we were told on leaving blm

"Driving my first prospct back to his
place of business, I snld to him on tha
way!
" Mr. So nnd So, I'm coming Into your
office with you to get that other $400.'"
'"And I'll give It to you. Mrs. Ulch
ards.' " ho replied, whlrh he did.
"From that time forth until tody t
secured something from at least M per
cent, of tho peoplo I went to see. I found
I could touch every heart to some extent:
nnd many who heard I was collecting
for the campnlRn fund came to me vol
untarily with their offerings.
"I have seen kindness and sympathy
corns as In a flash over many faces, and
heard words of encouragement from peo
plo who looked as If they did not have
the quality in their souls to express It.
My laundress nnd two housemaids each
came to mo with a dollar. Those who
refused me. with but few exceptions,
were, I believe, unablo to really help. And
those who did refuse had the milk of
human kindness In their hearts, too.
"I am sure of It I ntn convinced that
It Is In everybody. I am satisfied that
In every Phllodelphlan there exists
charity and love for little children. I
sensed It, of course, before this cam
oaiRn; but now 1 know It from Interest
ing personal experiences In successfully
selling happiness, and realizing more of
It for myself, since I have been Instru
mental In a modest way In bringing,
with all the peoplo who gao me money,
hrnlth and renewed strength to little
children "
