INVALID LEFT 3
DAYS BY WOMAN
WHO KILLED SELF
Brother Who Could Not Leave
Bed Knows Nothing of
Her Death

An invalid brother lay uncared
for three days while his sister, Mrs.
j. NJ. Bitner, AS years old, of 1431
North Second street, was dead in her
bed with Il bullet in her brain. The
woman was found by her husband
when he returned home last night
from a two weeks hunting trip. A
revolver, tightly clasped in one hand,
together with a note, furnished evil
dence of suicide.
The invalid brother was found in
a bed in an adjoining bedroom, in
heard the shot, and knew nothing
of the affair. He is unable to speak
clearly and can throw little light
on the entire matter
May BE Dead -Four Days
Just how long the woman has
been dead has not been definitely
determined. City police are of the
opinion that the deed must have
been committed three or four days
prior to the finding of the body.
while Coroner Eckinger maintains
that the woman had not been dead
more than thirty-six hours.
No motive has been assigned for
the deed. She was in the best of
spirits when her husband left for
his hunting trip, he said to-day
Coroner Eckinger expresses the
opinion that she committed the deed
while in a fit of melancholy. She
does not have the appearance of a
woman in the best of health and
this may have prompted the deed,
the Coroner says.

RESUME FULL
TIME ON MONDAY
All Industries May Be Sup
piled With Coal as Far as
1t Is Available
By associated Press

Washington, Dec. 13.-All indus
tries may be supplied with coal for
their emergency needs as far as
coal is available in any section for
that purpose, under orders issued
to-day by the central coal commit
tee. This order removed the restric-
tions which have denied coal to all
industries except those in the five
preferred classes.
Complete Resumption
The committee announced that
companies must continue to make
application to the roads which have
been supplying them with fuel. 1t
is expected that the new order will
result in almost complete resumption
of manufacturing next week.
Lifting Restrictions
Information received to-day by
the railroad administration indi-
Gated that restrictions on the use of
light, heat and power would be re-
moved and normal train service re-
sumed in all districts by a. m.
Monday Regional directors were
given discretionary authority last
night to lift the restrictions when
the fuel situation warranted.
To Lift Restrictions
removal of all restrictions in the
use of fuel for heat and light was
authorized by Director General of the
Railroads Walker D. Hines, to go in
to effect in the various parts of he
country room as the situation war
rants at the discretion of the sew
eral regional directors.
Telegraphic instructions have been
sent to the regional directors from
the Railroad Administration to this
effect.
One result regarded likely is an i'm
mediate resembling of the restrictive
regulations in Philadelphia, New
york, Boston, Washington and other
cities of the East, where coal stocks
are comparatively plentiful. In many
instances the local authorities are
expected to give their order Tonight.
In parts of the West where the
shortage has been most pronounced

cause of the strike are being scru-
tinized closely by officials of the rail-
road administration and probably
will be submitted to the Department
of Justice.
Bills being rendered by the op-
orators are said by officials to specify
prices higher in many instances than
set by the government and investiga-
ton will be made to determine
whether the increased prices are
justified by existing contracts in all
cases.
Discrepancies in prices have been
one cause, according to officials, of
the financial embarrassment of
which the operators have been COM
planning. Reconsignment of coal,
especially when shipped from the
east to the west, causing a delay in
payment, also has been a factor.

ing the day that prices of coal con-
tracted for by purchasers prior to
the resumption of government price
fixing could be legally raised to alb
sorb the cost of the IA per cent. in

der the strike settlement. Coal

most cases bore a price below the
government maximum of $2.35 per
ton mine-run, and contracts ordi-
narly carried a clause binding the
purchasers to pay additions in labor
costs incurred after their making
Fuel administration statistics, it was
said, indicated that even after the
addition of extra labor costs created
by the IA per cent. increase. the
largest portion of the contract coal
still would be sold below the S2.35
maximum.
The government itself, through the
railroad administration, which con-
sumes normally 81 per cent. of all
coal mined. will pay the largest
amounts under the ruling, it was
pointed out. The War Department
contracts were said to give power
to the Secretary of War to make ad-
Justments and as the settlement had
the support of the administration,
1t was assumed that Secretary Baker
would approve the increase. Much

Form

Appropriations asked by all
city departments to be provided
in the 1920 budget ordinance to-
tai 81 ,l25,000, it was said to-day
in city official circles.
Councilmen met last night and
submitted their estimates of
proposed expenditures for next
year. To grant all the requests
would necessitate an increase of
three mills in the present tax
rate of ten mills.
Expect Big Cut
An approximate estimate of avail
able revenue for 1920 was made.
Continuing the present tax rate of
ten mills would provide $940,000,
about $4,000 less than this year,
because no money will be received
from liquor licenses and less from
fines and forfeitures next year. At
II mills $1,OO3,000 will be avail
able, at ~ mills $1,066,000, and at
13 mills 1,129,000.
No action was taken last night on
any of the items submitted. In all
the larger bureaus increases are
found, it is said. The next meeting
of the commissioners will be Tues

that the Councilmen will begin par
