RULING MADE ON
PRIVATE Hospitals
They Must Register Under
the Federal Government
Regulations
IMPORTANT PAPER
SENT FROM BALTIMORE

Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue
Mooney, Of this city, having received a
request from a physician having charge
Of the rest room at the DUPONT Build
ing as to whether he should register
under the Harrison Law, requested de-
csion from the department at Balti-
timore. This reply has been received
here and under it all hospitals not main
tanned as State, county or municipal IN
stitutions have to rc-ister. This places
the hospitals here within the law. The
law as laid down by Collector Miles
reads as follows
Every person, firm or company pro-
ducing, importing, selling or dispens-
ing any of the drugs herein referred
to will, on the first day of March,
1915, prepare and keep on file an in
ventory of all such drugs (other than
preparations or remedies specially eX-
empt under the provisions of section
6 of the ac) on hand at that date. No
special form of inventory is here re-
quired, but the inventory made must
fully and clearly set forth the guam
fifty of each kind of such drugs. prep
aratiOns or remedies so held, and
must be verified by oath not later than
the fifth day of March, 1915.
For the purpose of enforcing the
provisions of the anti-narcotic law,
hospital will be considered as a per-
son and the same regulations govern
ing a physician as to the keeping Of
records OF drugs dispensed or dis
tributed will apply to such institu-
tions.
A physician is not required to keep
a record of drugs dispensed or dis
tributed when making a personal visit
on a patient When visiting a patient
in a hospital a physician would be
considered as making a personal visit
and if he dispenses or distributes
any drugs to such patient while in
the hospital he would not be required
to keep a record of such drugs. On
the other hand the hospital being con-
sidered a person must keep record
of such drugs dispensed or distri-
buted TO any patient in the hospital,
such record showing the date when
any such drug is dispensed or dis
tributed, the kind and quantity dis
pensed or distributed in each case,
and the name and residence of each
patient TO whom such drug was dis
pensed or distributed, and such rec
ord must be preserved for a period
of two years from the date of dis
pensing or distributing for inspection
by a government officer.
It would seem. therefore, that a
hospital in order TO keep such record.
must formulate rules and regulations
of its own, making it necessary for a
nurse or attendant TO enter i'm a book.
OF report daily to the pharmacist n
charge of such drugs, the informa-
tion required TO be obtained for such
inspection.
A visiting physician, attending a
patient in a hospital. should be re-
quired by the hospital authorities.

VICTIM OF The RED Skins

CORTEZ, Colo, Feb. 22.-Out on
the storm swept desert, sixty miles
from the nearest telegraph station.
whites and Indians are today en-
gagged in a battle near Bluff, Utah,
such as might have been expected only
In frontier days.
Three Indians and one white have
so far been killed and one white man
seriously wounded. Six Indians have
been captured, but with their forces
constantly increasing, the redskins
made an attempt to retake the pris-
oners last night. Reports reaching
here over shaby, hastily-constructed
telephone wires declare the Indians
were repulsed, but no details have
been received.
A telephone message received here
today said that Mexican rode into
the camp Of Marshal Neboker and re-
ported that the son of COsey, one Of
the Indian fighters, had been shot.
Communication with Bluff Is now
interrupted. The last communication
with the scene of battle was at 6.10
O'Clock this morning. Posses from
half dozen towns are en- route today
TO reinforce the men under United
States Marshal Nebeker, who set out
to capture Tse-Ne-Gat. wanted for
murder. but have become engaged
with the entire strength Of the rene
gade Piutes. One posse from Gray
son, Utah, has reached the scene. The
others face terrible rides over trails
chOked with more than a foot OF snow.
The Grayson posse is declared TO have
succeeded in surrounding one detach-
ment OF Indians, but hesitated &c en-
ter a pitched battle. The result was
that the Indians dashed through their
lines and under the fire OF the posse,
escaped down Cottonwood Canon.
They are now concealed behind the
rocks
Some reports reaching here state
that the Indians are now in such
numbers that they have practically
surrounded the town of Bluff AS 8
result of the calls for reinforcement
received in various towns reports wor'
circulated here that the gOyernmen
had decided to send troops 10 the
scene. Three troops of cavalry are
declared to have been ordered over
land through Thompson's Springs. II
will take the cavalry at least two days
TO reach Blum. however. and further
bloodshed is feared before they ap-
pear.
A small party OF men passed
through Cortez early today en- route to
Dolores to bring back the body OF
! Joe Akin, who was killed by the
first volley fired by the Indians when
| they attacked Marshal Nebeker' s
l posse.
