TO LIMIT PRESCRIPTIONS.
New Orders Expected to Restrict Liquor
Blanks and Reduce Amount.

WASHINGTON. March 31.-New
regulations further limiting the use OF
liquor prescriptions by physicians were
understood yesterday to be in prepara-
ton by the treasury 1t was said they
would accord with the Willis Campbell
bill prohibiting beer as medicine and
limiting the alcohol which may be pre-
scribed to one-half pint in 10 days and
the number of prescriptions allowed to
a physician to 100 in three months.
The treasury is understood to be con-
sidering a change i'm the definition of a
liquor prescription to extend that class
ifcation to cover prescriptions issued
for medical compounds of which alcohol
is an ingredient as well as a prescrip-
tion for a regular alcoholic liquor.
Heretofore prescriptions for compounds
containing alcohol have not been re
garded as prescriptions for liquor in
computing the number which may be is
sued by a physician.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 81 tAsso-
ciated Press THE last day of work
under present wage contracts was COM
pleted today by the country's half million
union coal miners. Their suspension of
work was set to begin tonight at mid
night. \ complete tie-up of union fields
in 20 states was predicted by officials
of the United Mine Workers of America,
who also asserted that 100000 non-union
workers would lay down their picks.
Pres. John L. Lewis said at least 60O.OOO
men would join the walk-out, his esti-
mates including the non-union partici-
pants.
We are ready for a fight forced on us
bv the operators" declared Mr.. Lewis.
we have sought in every honorable way
to get new contracts, but the operators
have perSistently refused to deal WIN
rs" Forces of union men will be left IN
the mines TO protect the property from
damage.
The shutdown begins with stock on
hand the largest at any time for the past
several years. Government reports placed
the stock at $4,000, 900 tons.
Briefly, the miners demands are that
present basic wages be retained IN the
soft coal fields and that the anthracite
tonnage workers receive a 20 per cent
increase with 81 a day advance being
given to the anthracite day workers. The
fight of the miners in the soft coal fields
is also directed toward preserving the
union system of bargaining that has
grown up during the last 40 years

\ man is dead and a woman in a crit

enacted in this village yesterday noon,
when Mrs. May Stearns, mulatto, shot
her husband, a white man named Lem
Stearns, through one lung and then
jumped from a third-story window to
some ice on the ground below.
The shooting occurred under unusual
circumstances. Mr. Stearffs was a fore
man at the A. Brigham Co creamery in
North WalpOle. n H. He and his wife
had not been living together for some
time, but they made m arrangement
whereby they were TO meet yesterday at
their former apartment at II Green street

They met as agreed and while in the
tenement alone. on the top floor of a
three-deeker house where several other
families live, the woman drew revolver
and fired point blank at her husband
shooting him through one lung. Then she
evidently with suicidal intent She is a
heavy woman and the force of the impact
on the ground injured her seriously.
Both were taken TO The Rockingham
hospital as quickly as possible. and the
man died soon after arriving there
The woman is about 40 years old. and
her husband was older. There are no
children.

Must Not Raise Prices.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Secre-
tary Davis of the department of labor
said last night that a soft coal shortage
is not expected by the administration for
at least two months. adding that there
will be no excuse for an advance in coal
prices during this period. The govern
mpnt'S estimate of the bituminous supply
now on hand tallies essentially with the
figures of the operators, and the admin
iStration's insistence that there should be
no immediate increase in prices is shared
by J. d. A. Morrow, vice president of the
National Coal association.
If coal prices advance in any locality,
Mr. Davis advises reporting the fact TO
the department of justice.
