the attack. 1t is pleasant to take, many
children like it. 1t contains no opium or
other harmful substance and may be

STORING EXPLOSIVES.
Thought Fire Marshal Should Have
Control Of Permits.

Major Sylvester, superintendent of police,
has recommended to the Commissioners an
amendment to the police regulations trans
ferring from the police department to the
fire marshal the authority for approving
applications for the storage of explosives.
Fire Marshal Sidney Bieber has been giving
particular attention to the subject OF ex-
plosives in his inspections lately In many
cases he found that small quantities of ex-
plosives are held for sale in stores and that
no permits had been obtained therefor The
result of his activity in this respect has
been Hood of applications through the DO
lice department to the Commissioners
Major Sylvester's recommendation is that
section OF article TX of the police regula-
tons be amended to read as follows:
Hereafter all applications for the storage
or manufacturing of gun powder and other
explosives shall be made in writing to the
fire marshal of the District Of Columbia,
who may, by approval Of the honorable, the
Commissioners of the District OF Columbia,
issue permits therefor; provided. that in
so doing 1t shall be after due inspection
against IRE and accident. and in cases
where dynamite or other high explosives
are stored or manufactured investigation
shall be made in conjunction with a quail
fed inspector from the engineer depart
ment."
Permits for the use of explosives will be
handled through the police department as

to have the motion made by him some days
ago for a new trial in the case of Arthur
s. Colyar. now serving a sentence on the
farm for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, set aside and the Judgment re-
instated In explanation Of his course Mr..
Doyle stated that his former motion was
based upon the assurance that Mr.. Colyar
had been adjudged lunatic at Manchester
Tenn, and confined in the state asylum
until he escaped therefrom during a fire,
and that he had been subsequently ad-
judged a lunatc by the courts of Florida
and confined in the asylum of that state
until released, but not restored. That at
the instance OF certain prominent Tennes-
seeans who had been assured by Colonel
Colyar that certified copies of these two
judgments of lunacy would be procured ana
forwarded for use at such nav trial the
motion for new trial was made: but
that, upon his learning that his erring son
had been guilty of similar misconduct in
various places Colonel Colyar had decided
not to interfere. and asked his friends here
to step aside and let The law take its
course. Acting upon this manifestation
OF the fathers wishes in the matter. HIS
friends had the motion for a new trial
dismissed. A-o-
1t Is said that this erring Young man
