AN IMPORTANT RULING.
Collector Hayward Makes an An
nOuncement of General Interest.

Columbia. March \. ID. G. Hey
ward. collector Of internal revenue.
has made rather important ruling
relative to the filling OF prescriptions
containing opium coming under the
Harrison anti-narcOtic law, contain
ing less than the amounts specified
in section 6 OF the act. which are
as follows: Two grains of opium,
il grain morphine. Is grain heroin.
or | grain codein. or any salt or de-
rivative of any Of them in one fluid
ounce. or if in solid or Semi-solid
preparation. any one avolrdupols
ounce. The ruling was made in re-
sponse to requests from numerous
druggists who fill prescriptions or
dispense compounds containing OPT
ates in amounts less than specified
above. The collector holds that a
record should be kept of any and all
drugs coming within the scope of the
Harrison anti-narcotic law dispensed
by druggists. even though the
amounts prescribed do not reach the
limit specified in said section Of the
act, as. when filling such precrip-
tions. the druggist will. Of course.
deplete his stock.
These prescriptions can be retIlled.

ton by a duly authorized officer OF
the law.
The law requires that a physician.
dentist or veterinary surgeon issuing
prescription shall sign his name in
full. The collector holds that the
given name by which the party is
known should be written in full. For
instance, John R. Doe, j. Richard
Doe" would be a signature in full.
but J. R. Doe Would not be a sigma
ture in full.
A number of physicians seem to
be under misapprehension as to
writing prescriptions for habitual
users. 1t is the opinion Of the collec-
tor that this law is TO minimize the
use of these drugs. and the matter
of prescribing for the habitual user
is left entirely to the discretion Of
the reputable physician.

The Biggest Gun.

There can be little consolation for
the thousands of volunteer peace
makers in this country who are try
ing to settle the war in Europe in
the announcement that the biggest
gun in the world is being built in
the United States arsenal in Water
velt, ~ Y, and is to be placed at
the Pacific end of the Panama Canal.
says the New York Post.
The gun is a sixteen-inch weapon,
49 feet 3 inches in length. and
weighs about 1876 tons. 1t has a
range Of from 6 to q miles. vary
ing with different elevations. and 1t
will hurl a projectile of 200
pounds. Each discharge will cost
the government $500.
The enormous weapon will lie in
ambush at the canal. being lifted to
position by a big running carriage,
which will be dropped from the view
Immediately the weapon mas Deen
discharged.
Military experts OF all countries
have followed the guns construction,
to such extent as this government
would permit. with the keenest in
terest. The guns installation will
be an event in the history Of defen-
sive measures. But let us hope
there is only a remote Likelihood II
ever will be used other than as a
threat against peace disturbers. On
the other continent all is war. every
gun be!ches forth death. Here all
is peace and our biggest gun. the
largest in the world, is being fashion
ed for the preservation of peace. but
if it is needed for another purpose
it will be mighty effective.

Some Wilson Thoughts.

Following are some striking SEN

Washington by President Wilson:

a spade be idle in the future, if the
world is to be fed"
Business men came in the past
with all their bristles out to see, not
what they could accomplish (for leg
islationl. but what they could pre-
vent"
when men engage in the pursuits
of peace in the same spirit of self
sacrifice and conscious service Of the
community with which the common
soldier engages in war, then there
will be wars no more"

Washington. March 9.-American
citizens again have been warned to
leave Mexico City in view Of the
critical situation.
Secretary Bryan announced to-
night that transportation facilities
would be sought for as many as de-
sired to leave.
The battleship Georgia and the
armored cruiser Washington we're

conferences with President Wilson.
to proceed Immediately to Vera
Cruz.
Consular messages from Vera
Cruz stated that it was reported that
the evacuation of Mexico City began
last night.
Enrique c. Liorente, Gen Villa S
WASHINGTON representative. received
a message saying Zapatista forces
occupied Mexico City today imme-
diately on the evacuation by Obre-
gon's troops
Word came from American Con-
sui Silliman that he had delivered 10
Gen. CarranZa the formal note from
the United States government de-
manding an improvement in condi-
tions for foreigners in the territory
under Carranza's control.
These were the principal develop
ments today in the Mexican situa-
ton. the importance of which today
overshadowed in official Washington
interest in the European war.
An Impressive Note.
Although the contents of the note
to CarranZa we're not announced. its
tone impressed members of the dip
lomatic corps that serious conse-
quences would ensue if CarranZa
failed to heed its demands. The
United States. it was learned. de-
scribed conditions as ''intolerable'
and called on Carranza to take steps
necessary to correct the situation.
Incendiary utterances of Gen. OBJ
regcn were noted as likely to stir
up feeling against foreigners, giving
rise possibly to riots and outrages.
The note pointed out that if harm
befell foreigners the American gov
eminent would hold Carranza Off
cials personally responsible and
would take the necessary means to
impose the responsibility where it
belonged. The communication was
not in the nature of an ultimatum.
President Wilson himself declared
that the United States did not utter
ultimatums, but presented views and
acted accordingly.

$4,000 for a Kiss.

Miss Genevieve Lehne, a stenogra-
pher, of No. 1904 East Fair street,
Saturday filed suit against J. D. Pat
terson. superintendent Of the Atlanta
Joint Terminals, and his employers,
the Louisville and Nashville, Allan
tic Coast Line and Atlanta and West
Point railways, for $4,000 damages,
alleging that Mr.. Patterson, while
she was employed in his office. forci-
bly, kissed her left hand, causing her
great mental suffering and shock.
Miss Lehne says in her petition
that she worked in the offices Of the
Atlanta Joint Terminals, maintained
by the Louisville and Nashville, the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Atlanta
and West Point. Mr.. Patterson also
is employed by the said railway COM
panies as superintendent of the ter
minals, according to Miss Lehnes
petition.
"Culawfully Kissed" She Says.
Miss Lehne says that while so en-
gagged and within the scope Of busi-
ness for the transaction of which she
had been employed by the said rail-
road corporations, Mr.. Patterson "un-
lawfully, negligently, maliciously.
willfully and without cause and
against her will" did grab and kiss
her left hand, after which he did
Jerk her with great force and order
her not to look frightened
While the petition apparently so
states. it possibly should not be un-
derstood that this sort of thing was
a part of the business for which Mr..
Patterson was employed by the said
railroad corporations. And. anyway,
that certainly is not at all the way to
kiss a Young lady-"unlawfully. neg
ligently, maliciously, willfully and
against her will"-and on the left
hand, at that.
Values Damage at $4,000.
Anyway, Miss Lehne values the
damage to her hand, arm, mind. body.
feeling and earning capacity at $780,
900. and seeks the same in court.
No wonder Miss Lehne included the
railroads in the list of defendants
compiled by Sims and Won Nunes,
her attorneys.
Calculating on the usual idea that
a kiss on the lips is worth a thousand
times as much as one on the hand,
it would seem that Messrs Patterson,

are lucky In that Mr.. Patterson S al

MAJOR LEAGUE SCOUTS

Ehteasean Has Been Sizing Up East
 ern College Mines.

A Chicago big league scout. who has been sizing up the Eastern col lege mines, with a view to suggesting big league material, thinks Bryant, the Cornell pitcher, and Mullen, the third baseman would develop into major calibre. He regards Gill as the best man Princeton could present with Babington of Brown; Nash of Harvard, and Reilly and LeGore. of Yale as qualified intielders. He thinks the ''much-touted" Deyo would hard v do well in big company, but that Way, of Yale, would be a possibility. He likes Lees, the big Lehigh catcher, and thinks Crowell, of Brown, would ill a place with some major league nine. As a matter of fact, Crowell will sign with the Athletics. Two members of the Holy Cross nine have received offers from the scouts club. but their names will not be announc- d until they decide one way or the other. The scout says he looked over .very university nine in the east, and Lays it is difficult to get desirable nen to talk terms as to try-outs. robably because they have been frightened by the retrencf1ment plans sf the magnetes.

HOSPITAL Vs. N. L.
 INDEPENDENTS
Strongest Lineup of Any Ser1i-Prc
 Team in County for Saturdays Game, So Says Manager Bill Wicks.

To the Sporting Editor:-
 When the Hospital team lines up for their game with the New London Independents on the hospital grounds sent the strongest lineup of any semi professional team in New London County. While the New London In- dependents have defeated the hospi- tai in game a few weeks ago they will face an entirely different aggre- gation on their appearance for the second game.
 Taftville is to play at the hospital on Monday July 5th, as a conclusion to the annual field day exercises held on that date. Manager Benoit of the Taftville team has brought many sons past and has never been defeated by the hospital team, a feat no other manager has been able to perform. and fans who like an interesting and close game should not miss this game as the Hospital team is determined to win both Saturdays and Mondays games.
 The Hospital management has no excuse to offer for its poor showing a short while ago, when the team lost four games in a row. other than the fact that the material at hand was not up to its usual standard and realizing the fact, the team has been strengthened one hundred per cent by the return of Hourigan as good a pitcher as the Hospital ever had. He year, especially in the memorable 15 inning game with the New London Independents, returning his team a winner by score of 1 to O. The management has been on a still hunt for the past six weeks for material to strengthen the weak places and has secured Melvin who plays left field for Andy Coakley's Asbury Parks of New Jersey last season and the first of this season with the New Bedford team of the Colonial league to take care of the left garden, Jack Pickett to cover right garden, Joe Stuclfus of Bridgeport is to i'll in the infield at short or at third base.
 Chase, Winch, Hockenbrocht, Mo Graw and Corbett are the other play CTS. and their ability has never been questioned With all due respect to Manager Hollands Sachems, a team as fast as any semi-pro team ever turned out inside of the city limits 1t must be said that the defeat Of the Hospital on Decoration day by the Sachems by the score of IS to is due to the fact that the Hospital team of that day and the one Of today In a comparison is not to be considered for moment. Fully realizing that the falling off of the attendance was due wholly to the poor showing of the players is due to the desire of Man sger Wicks to have a strong team team of Hospital players every one of whom is employed at the hospital and in his efforts he has had the assist ance of the players themselves as the best of the new players on this years team would not have been secured by him but for their assistance. None but strong teams will be booked for the remainder of this season and no expense will be spared to a reasonable extent to secure same and possibly the poor showing of a short while
