pany of Scranton, to test the consti
tutionality of tho anthracite coal tax
act of 1913, was filed by the Attorney
General's department in behalf of
Auditor-General Powell and State
Treasurer Young. The demurrer de
clares that the Dauphin County Court
is without jurisdiction; that the bill
does not Btate any facts entitling 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 tho bill
does not show the act to be unconsti
tutional In any respect.

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
us she sank from sight her companions
burely escaped. Close behind the girls
was John Back, a miner, on his way
home from work. 1 louring Miss
Doyle's friends call for help, he ran
to the scene, called to tho missing girl
and was overjoyed to hear her faintly
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 us pos
sible, whereupon he ran to a house
and procured a clothesline. Again
reaching tho cave-In, he lowered one
end of the rope to Miss Doyle, who
faintly told him she was too weak
to tie It about her. Several miners
appeared, tied tho 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
bhe was badly bruised.

Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Coal
Company, with an increase of $700,
7X0 in net earnings for 1S13 has just
closed its best year since 1907. A

Jersey City shows that the gross earn
ings from all sources were $i, 421,702,
an increase over 1912 of $729,274,
or 12.8 per cent., and the net earn
ings, after nil proper charges, includ
ing full depredation, were $2,72ti,2f,fl,
against $2,023,483, In 1912, and $2,
958.59 In 1907. The year's net gain
of 5700,736, or 35 per cent., in the
excess of 10 per cent, on tho 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 24,704,201
net tons, an Increase over 1912 of
C44.S22, or 2.C8 per cent. The report
says a conservative expectation of re
sults for 1914 is warranted, although
there has come a more general feeling
of encouragement, with bomo improve
ment In demand.

Thirty-Seven Branches of Chris
tianity In Move.
FOR A GREAT CONFERENCE.
uropenn Nations Are Asked To Join
In the First General Council
Of Church Since tho
Reformation.
New York. The greatest effort In
the history of Christianity to unite all
the Beets of the world which held the
Christian faith was proclaimed by a
committee representing 37 branches of
Christianity In the United States.
This committee has no authority to
declare Christendom united, but it rep
resents the attempt of the majority of
the world's 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 Cin
cinnati, appointed a commission to be
gin the movement for universal reli
gious peace. This commission re
ceived its first endowment from the
late J. P. Morgan, and at once ap
proached the official bodies of all sects
with an invitation to Join In prepara
tion for the world wide amalgamation
Of Christian churches.
During the last four years repre
sentatives of 37 sects have reported to
the Episcopal commission that they
believe In the one people of Goa
throughout tho world, and have con
stituted themselves nn advisory com
mittee, endowed with power to Invite
all the creeds of all nations to comer.
Apart Since Reformation.
A general council of all Christen
dom has not been held sinco the period
Inown ns the Reformation, in the
Sixteenth Century, because Blnce that
time tho various branches of Chris
tianity have done littlo except to
emphasize the theological and liturgi
cal differences by reason of which
they had become estranged.
The coming general conference, or
Ecumenical Council, as such a gath
ering w as 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 oction the co
operative verdict of tho assembly will
definitely establish the unity of just
thnt part of Christendom which it rep
resents.

His London Speech.
HIS OLD ENEMY AFTER HIM
Ambassador's Reported Definition
Of Monroe Doctrine and Re
marks On Canal Stir
Congress.
Washington. Walter Hines Tape,
American Ambassador to Great Brit
ain, was made the target of inquiry
in a resolution adopted by the Sen-
ato calling upon the Secretary oi
State to investigate alleged public as
sertions by the Ambassador relative
to the Monroe Doctrine und the ran
ama Canal.
Senator Chamberlain, aroused over
reports of a 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
sulted In its adoption without debate.
The resolution requests tho Secre
tary of State to procure a copy for
tho use of the Senate of Ambassador
Page's address, and to call upon the
Ambassador for evidence upon which
ne bnsed tho alleged statement that
"It added greatly to tho pleasure of
tho United States In tho 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 Ambassador's ad
dress in which he Is reported to have
defined the Monroe Doctrine as mean
ing merely thnt "the United States
would prefer that no European Gov
ernments would gain more land In
tho New World."
Not Reported Verbatim.
After the resolution had been
adoptfd Senators heard of dispatches
from London saying the Ambassador's
speech was delivered extemporane
ously late in the evening nnd not re
ported verbatim, and quoting Mr.
Page as explaining that his reference
to British use of the Panama Cannl
was in a light vein. It was taken for
granted at the Capitol, however, that
In response to the State Department's
request tho Ambassador would furnish
his recollection of Just what he had
said, with the desired explanation.
No attempt to oppose tho resolution
was ninde when Senator Chamberlain
offered it, the usual custom being to
pnss such measures as a. matter of
courtesy.
Later in the day a similar resolu
tion was Introduced In the House by
Representative Murray, of Oklahoma,
a Democrat, but it did not get before
the body for discussion or nctlon.

Secretary McAdoo to Marry
Miss Eleanor Wilson.
PRETTY SECRET LEAKS OUT
The Financier Of the Administration
Is Fifty, While the Youngest
Daughter Of the President
Is Half His Age.
Washington, D. C The rumored
engagement of Miss Eleanor It. Wil
son, youngest daughter of tho Presi
dent and Mrs. Wilson, and Mr. Wil
liam Glbbs McAdoo, which is not de
nied at the White House and. which
has gained 6Uch 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 it 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 fre
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 Wil
son, who caught the bridal bouquet of
her sister, Mies Jessie Wilson, now
Mrs. Frances B. Sayre, when the lat
ter tossed it Into the crowd of friends
and relatives who stood about to wish
her bon voyage ns she left tho White
House for her honeymoon.
Miss Eleanor Wilson is the youngest
dnughter of the President and frankly
admits being fond of society, so, of
course, society is fond of her, and she
has had what a girl calls "a good
time" Flnce she came to live at the
White House Just a year ago. She
dnnces gracefully, rides well, loves to
motor, to play tennis and golf and, in
fact, is a perfectly henlthy, normal
girl with a love of the big outdoors
and a wholesome enjoyment of all the
social amusements.
She Is Just twenty-four, while Secre
tary McAdoo is fifty. She was edu
cated In privnto Bchools at Trinceton
nnd hns studied art in Philadelphia,
Tho Secretary Is the concelver of
tho Hudson River tunnel system. He
organized the company which built it
nnd w as its president till 1913. He is
a lnwyer of New York and a 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 Mc
Adoo married Miss McCormlck, daugh
ter of Mrs. Isnac Emerson, last sum
mer, the President nnd his family
motoring over for the occasion. Sec
retary McAdoo is a native of Georgia
nnd son of Judge William G. McAdoo.
Ho was a student of the University of
Tennessee.
While the rumor of the engagement
would not bo confirmed or denied by
the White House, Borne persons go as
far as to say that the White House is
putting up a joke on tho public and
that the real fiance of the President's
daughter Is not tho Secretary, but his
son, William, Jr., who is a Btudent at
Princeton.
