DYNAMITE OWNERS
MUST HAVE A
LICENSE
THOSE FAILING TO REPORT
POSSESSION SUBJECT
TO ARREST

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 10
Any person found with explosives
in his possession after Nov. 10 with
out a license issued by the federal
government showing the purpose
for which the explosives are to be
fine of $4,000 or one years impris-
onment.
Under the law, the director of
mines is empowered to utilize the
services of all United States officers
ard all police officers of the states,
including the city police forces, coun-
ty sheriffs. deputies, constables and
all officers in any way charged with
police duties. The police of the
cities have already been organized
for this work. headed by a commit
tee of chiefs.
The police are not only to look
after the enforcement of the law.
but are also to make thorough in
vestigations of all dynamite out
RACES and fires in factories and
warehouses, and to make their re
ports to the director of the bureau
OF mines.
Persons ~apprehended in plots t.
blow up factories and bridges will
be turned over to- the authorities
for prosecution under federal o
state laws. Most states nave es-
pecially severe punishments for
these crimes. New York has an
extreme penalty of 25 years i'm
prisonment for the placing of dyna-
mite with intent to blow up pr
perty. The penalty provided in the
federal war measure is merely to
cover the illegal possession of eX-
plosives.
The law provides that every n
who handles explosives have a Il
cense issued by the bureau of mines
in Washington. The seller of ex-
plosives and the purchaser of eX-
p~losives must have licenses, issued
generally by county clerks, or other
local officers authorized to admins
ter oaths. There will be at least
ore licensing officer in each county.
and more agents will be designated
if the county is sufficiently large to
warrant it.
If a state has laws providing for
a system of licensing persons manu-
featuring, storing, selling or using
explosives, the state officials author
lied to issue such state licenses
shall be designated as federal
licensing agents; also city officials
qualified to issue city explosives
licenses will be given authority
to issue federal licenses. A feder-
al license will not relieve any per-
son from securing licenses required
under state laws and local ordin
ances. Only citizens of the United
States or of countries friendly to
the United States and the allies may
obtain licenses.
Contractors, mining companies,
quarrymen and others using large
quantities of explosives, which are
handled by employees. may issue ex-
plosives to their employees only
through those employees holding a
license, called a foreman's license.
The purchaser of dynamite, in OBJ
tanning a license, must state defin-
itely what the explosive is to be
used for and will be held account
able for it's 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 pr vent explosives falling
into the hands of evilly disposed
persons and to put a stop to all fur
Their dynamite plots.

GENERAL PETAlN

"a gene ral officer of the greatest
valor since the beginning OF the cam
paign. he has not ceased as COM
mander of brigade, division, army
corps. and army to give proof Oh
most remarkable military quahtles.
Thanks to his calm firmness and the
skilIfulness of his dispositions, ne
knew how to retrieve delicate sit
uaAon and inspire confidence In all.
He has thus rendered the country
most conspicuous services.
\ This is the inscription which ap-
nears on the grand roll Of the French
Legion Of Honor in reference to Gen.
eral Philippe petain, who, by his
heroic and successful defense OF YER
dun. gained a high place among the
heroes of this war. It Is understood
that General Petain was Joffre's
choice as his successor in the supreme
command Of the French army, but
that Petain, as modest as he is brave
and resourceful. urged that Nivelle,
his Junior in rank, be elevated to that
position.
Philippe Petain was born fifty-nine
years ago today, April "a, 1858, at
Cauchy-la-Tour, near the English
channel At the Ecole de Guerre he
was the honor man Of his class, but
after beginning his army service. his
rise in rank was principally remark
able for its slowness. Independent
in his ideas, quiet in his tastes, and
lacking all the qualities. Of good
fellow" he refused to thrust himself
forward, and in consequence was abso-
lutely unknown to all but a very few
OF his countrymen at the beginning
of the war. Some years ago he de-
livered a series Of lectures at the
Ecole de Guerre which attracted
much attention in military circles.
King Ferdinand of Bulgaria confer
red a decoration upon him, but he
never wore it.
Petain was fifty-five when he
reached the rank of colonel, and he
was only a colonel Of infantry when
the war commenced. Within a month

AMERICAN
DRAMATISTS

In these days most everybody has
written a play, or, at least, a vaude-
Vile sketch or movie scenario, but
our ancestors Of colonial days had
no such aspirations. 1t was just a
century and q half ago today, on
April "a, 1851, that the first play by
an American author was produced at
the Southwark Theatre in Philadel-
phia. The production bore the title
Of 1.-THE Prince of Partia," and was
the work Of Thomas Godfrey. Jr., the
son of celebrated Philadelphia
mathematician. It was for this play
house that a curtain was painted by
the dashing young Major Andre, the
talented British officer who was later
executed for his completely in Arm
ODDS reasonable project. The South
wark Theatre was burned in 1928.
Another early play written in
America, but not by native, was
1.-THE Blockade of Boston," the work
Of Burgoyne, the British commander.
It was produced in Boston, but, be-
fore the performance had, ended, the
audience, composed principally Of
British soldiers, had to leave to repel
an attack on their lines.

The first professional playwright
Of American birth was William Dun
lap, who was by turn a portrait
painter, a theatre manager, and a.
dramatist. Another distinguished
early playwright was John D. Burke,
who scored successes with Bunker
Hip and Joan Of Arc" He was
killed in a duel in 1908. John How
ard Payne, a popular actor. wrote
sixteen plays, but is now remember
ed only as the author Of Home, Sweet
Home" Samuel Woodwork was a
successful early playwright, but is
now noted only as the author of the
poem, ''The Old Oaken Bucket" A
play which held the boards for years
was 'Briercliffe." the work of George
P. Morris, the author Of "Woodman.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

; DR.. Edwards Olive TA5lets-the sut-
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calonel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that ca1omei does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold Of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take ca1omel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness' and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy'' and
6sheavy." Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they ""perk up the spir-
is. iOc and Csc box. All druggists

Of the beginning Of hostilities Joffre

Of the beginning of hostilities Joffre
made him a brigadier general. A few
days later he was a general of divi-
sion. In October he was placed at
the head of an army corps, and in
April Of 1915 he was commander of
the Second Army. At Caroney he
broke through the German lines, and
the tide Of the war might have turn
ed then If he had been backed up by
reserves. When the Germans launch
ed their great offensive at Verdun,
Jeffre called upon Petain to assume
command of the army on that front.
3"They shall not pass!" became the
battle cry Of Petain and his poilus.
AND they didn't!

FREE
Sewer SYSTEM

At the request OF Superintendent
Harry Murray Of the city water and
sewer departments, Senator A. L.
Castle was to introduce in the legisla-
ture this afternoon q bill providing
free sewers and garbage for Honolulu.
This bill proposes to set aside one
and one-half mills for each dollar or
tax money which. as Murray explains.
would amount to $4,000 a year. or
this amount $4,000 would go toward
free sewers and $4,000 toward free
garbage service. The remaining $780,.
600 would go each year for five years
toward paying off the bonded debt OF
1851, 900 on Honolulu sewers.
Upon the completion Of this pay
ment, according to the plan, the rate
would be reduced from one and one.
half mills to six-tenths OF a mill, the
resulting $4,000 therefrom going to-
ward free sewers and garbage.
President GhiIlingworth introduced
two bills also relating to the city OF
Honolulu and drawn up BY the city at
torney's department.
One of these gives the city and
county the right to condemn property
by the same short procedure employed
by the superintendent of public works,
and relating of course only to where
the city has control The second is to
make specific the fact that curbs are
portions of sidewalks.

developed yesterday afternoon at a

Treasurer Mccarthy said it now has
the approval of the insurance COM
panies and of the Chamber of Com
merce, with the exception of one
clause of minor nature.
M b Henshaw of the underwriters
committee said that body VIII approve
the BILL though not strongly favoring
the clause which gives companies five
years to adjust themselves to the law
against setting aside more than 10 per
cent of the assets back of any one
policy in single investment. Hen
shaw thought this not good business
policy, and believed the law should be
effective sooner than five years. He
offered the suggestion as a personal
opponent and said the committee
would not fight the bill on that ground.
