go into effect tomorrow, and dealers and
others should govern themselves ac-
cordingly:
Section l. Any manufacturer, vendor
or dealer who shall sell, cause to be sold
fill or cause to be filled for the purpose
of sale or other use, any can or other
container with gasoline or benzine, in
quantities of more than one pint and less
than six gallons, without such can or
other container being of bright red color
and plainly tagged, labeled or branded in
large plain letters with the name of the

pose of sale or other use with kerosene

1903.
Approved March Z, 1903.
Attorneys differ as to the law. When
asked for an opinion this afternoon, one
thought that NO dealer could fill can
for customer unless that can is painted
red. Another held that the law seemed
from the wording to mean that only
red cans can be sold and that person
who now has cam Of another color can
use it.

Pope Leo XIII
Has Passed Away.

Pope Leo XIII. passed away at an
early hour this morning in Rome,
and today the Catholic world is 10
mourning. The aged Pontif had
been sinking for two days. Yester-
day afternoon he stated to his at
tendants that he would not live
twenty-four hours longer and asked
for the final benedictions. The
request was complied with. 1t is
believed that he rapidly sank during
the night and had peaceful and
painless end. The bell Of the Cath
Ollie cathedral was tolled for an hour
at noon today on account OF the
news from Rome. 1t is not known
at this writing when the funeral will
take place, but on whatever day it
occurs the program will be as elabor-
ate here as elsewhere.

ing Governor Dole's visit to Wal

On Tuesday evening there was a
nesting OF the citizens OF Waikiki,
to make arrangements for the re-
ception OF Governor Dole.
From letter received on We'd
nesday morning it was learned that
the Governor and party would land
at Kihei this morning at 7:30. There
they will be met by an all.Maui COM
mittee consisting of r w Filler, j
N S Williams, Fl p Baldwin, A
N Hayselden, w o Aiken, Judge
W A Mckay, W Fl Cornwell aud
Rev j Nuo, and be conveyed by
special train through the cane area
of central Maui via the big mill and
Kahului, thence to Wailuku depot
where they will be met by special
reception committee OF the citizens
of Wailuku, consisting OF Carl Wal
deyer, d ID Case, w E Bal, g B
Schrader and w t Robinson.
A further committee OF arrange
ments consisting OF Jos WEIGH, D
Crowell, j K Kahookele, A Zoos
and g B Robertson will look after
practical details, and the finance
committee, will consist of r w
Filler, T B Lyons and 6 B Robert

A luau will be given in the w al
luku schoolhouse at 1890 today, and
reception will be rendered the
governor at X Of P Hall this even
ing from seven to nine. Special
trains will run from up country,
which will permit out of town peo-
pie to meet the governor in the
evening if they are unable to attend
the luau. The Governor and party
will probably leave for Hawaii on
Sunday morning, unless they decide
to spend another day on Maui.

The tinanciers who are raising the
"home patronage" cry in regard to
the new loan bonds have an object
ia view thai is as mercenary and dis
honest as it is transparent. They
hope to purchase these bonds here
at par and sell them to New York
Investors at premium -only that
and nothing more. In disposing
OF these bonds preference
should be given mainland invest
ors, for the reason that
purchases by them will mean the
introduction OF new money, thing
OF vast importance at this time. Ho-
nolulu has no money TO sink 10 low
interest securities. All that ia here is
needed in industrial enterprises, and
government bonds, which are under
stood and sought after in financial
centers, should be used to bring new
money into the Islands. Every
dollar brought in in that way is an
appreciable gain, our enterprising
spectators to the contrary not
withstandipg.

The Pope is dead. The end came
at an early hour this morning and
short time later the fact was known
the world around. A great and q
good man has gone. Pope Leo XIII.
was a man of peace and OF "good
will to men," As head OF the Csth.
Ollie church he directed more than
any King or Queen the harsher
affairs OF nations as we'll as the pro-
grams for their social aud spiritual
advancement. The world can ill
spare a man of the calibre OF the
late Pope, but an All wise God has
30 ordained and it must be 60. Just
what effect the incident will have
upon the Catholic church can not
be foretold. Certain it is that the
successor to the Pontif will haye a
worthy and illustrious example to
follow.
