NEW FEDERAL LAW, EFFECTIVE
THIS WEEK IMPOSES STRICT
PENALTIES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 16.-
Any person in the United States
found with explosives in his possess
sion from now on who does not have
license isued by the federal govern
ment showing the purpose for which
the explosives are to be used, will be
at once arrested and fined up to
$4,000 or sent to prison for one year.
II the circumstances warrant, the
person may be fined $1,000 and in
addition given the one year in prison.
This is the principal clause in a
war measure passed by the last con-
gress which is now being put into
effect by the bureau of mines, depart
ment of the interior. Francis S. Pea
body of Chicago, well-known coal
operator, familiar with the use of ex-
plosives, large amounts of which are
used in the coal mining industry has
been appointed by Secretary of the
Interior Lane to act as assistant to
the director of the bureau of mines,
Van H. Manning, in the enforcement
Of the law.
The director of the bureau is en-
powered to utilize the services of all
United States officers and all police
officers of the states, including the
city police forces, county sheriffs.
deputies, constables, and all officers
in any way charged with police du-
ties, to enforce the law. In this
county it's enforcement is under the
supervision of County Clerk 1. N.
Holmes. Persons apprehended in
plots to blow up factories and bridges
will be turned over to the authorities
for prosecution under federal or state
laws.
The law provides that everyone
who handles explosives must have q
licenses issued by the bureau of mines
in Washington. The seller of explo-
sives and the purchaser of explosives
must also have licenses, these to be
Issued generally by county clerks or
other local officers who are author
lied to administer oaths. Only citi-
zens of the United States or of coun-
tries friendly to the United States

Contractors, mining companies,
quarrymen and others using large
quantities of explosives. which are
handled by employees, may issue ex-
plosives to their employees only

use as stated and the return of any
explosives that may be left.
With the strict enforcement of this
law the federal authorities hope to
prevent explosives falling into the
hands of evilly-disposed persons and
to put stop to all further dynamite
plots.
