MUST GIVE GOOD
REASONS TOGET
PASSPORTSNOW
Regulations Made More String
emf; Objects of Visits to For
eiqn Parts Demanded

Unless they can satisfy the depart
ment OF state that they have very good
reasons for SO doing, tourists who con
template taking trips to the Orient or
other foreign countries will expert
ence considerable difficulty in OBTAIN
ing passports, for the time being, at
least
Notices of several important changes
in the passport regulation have been
received by Foster L. Davis, clerk o.
the local United States court, and. as
the demand for passports has been
unusually heavy during the last few
months, prospective tourists are
warned to carefully read over the new
rules. No passport shall be granted
or issue to, or verified for. any other
persons than those owing allegiance
to the United States.
The former custom Of issuing pass
ports called for only one copy. Under
the new regulations, applications must
be in duplicate.
That part of the new regulations re-
garding the purpose of visits to for
eign countries reads, in part, as fol
lows:
HE is also required to state the
| names Of the foreign countries which
he expects to visit, and the objects OF
his visits thereto. The latter state
ment should be brief and general in
| form, thus: Commercial business.
An applicant who states that he is go
| ing abroad on commercial business
must support his application with q
letter from the head OF the firm oil
| firms which he represents, stating the
names of the countries it is necessary
| to visit and the objects OF his visits
| thereto.
IAN applicant who is going abroad
for any other purpose must satisfy
the department of state that it is i'm
perative that he go, and submit salts
| factory documentary evidence sub
stantiating his statement concerning
the imperativeness of his proposed
i trip
| Under the former regulations, maj
might secure a passport for himself
his wife and minor children. The neV
| regulations say:
1 I'm view of the regulations now il
force in European countries, it is ad
visable that wives, children over min
| years of age and servants would hav
separate passports, applied for in tn
same way as passport for the hea
of the family"

BIG PENALTY IMPOSED
ON DE LIMA RENTED

The $500 penalty imposed by the
federal court on Frank de Lima of Hilo,
who pleaded guilty to a charge of con.
Quoting a still for the illicit manufac-
ture of liquor and who was also fined
and given prison sentence, has been
RENTED by President Wilson, accord
irg to information which has been
received by District Attorney Horace
W. Vaughan De Lima served his SEN
tence and paid the fine, but, because
he owned land in Hilo, was unable to
take the poor convict's oath. The fed
eral authorities could have brought
civil suit against de Lima for the
recovery of the penalty, had it not
been RENTED, and in this event his
homestead would have been attached.
