NEW EXPLOSIVE LAWS
AFFECT MANY PEOPLE


ATLANTA, Ga, April 16.-The fed
eral explosives law which was passed
to protect the nation in time of war
affects more people than the users OF
dynamite and powder, according to
Carlos H. Mason of this city, Z. S.
explosives inspector for Georgia.
He calls attention to the fact that
the law affects wholesale and retail
druggists, hardware stores, paint
stores, photograph supply hS1ses,
photographers, painters, manufactur-
ing and analytical chemists, mine own
ers and quarfymen, as well as others
who may be engaged in blowing
stumps, blasting bitches, blasting
quarries and mines, blasting con-
struction work, selling fireworks, or
planting trees by dynamite.
He calls particular attention to the
need for everyone engaged in any of
these occupations to familiarize them

Necessary to aid in the general en-
forcement of the law but also to avoid

The law covers very wide field,
regulating not only the handling and
sale of explosives, but the handling
and sale the ingredients of explosives.
Among the ingredients embraced in.

nitrates, nitric acid, perchorates,

the higher explosives. Anyone hand

WOMAN SPURNED, AGAIN
FACES MURDER CHARGE

LOS ANGELES, April 16.-Marie
Pinson Edwards, magdalen mistress Of
a state senator once prominent in
California politics, went to trial here
yesterday for the second time. on
charge Of his murder here October
Q, 1917. She shot and killed State
Senator Henry H. Lyon, she testified
az q former trial, when he married
another and refused to see her only
upon condition that she enter q
Japanese brothel.
At her first trial the jury stood six
to six, and was discharged after many
hours of hopeless deadlock. The trial
was one of the most ensational in
CALIFORNIA; criminal procedure. All
tie lurid depths of the demimonde and
the depths to which Marie Edwards
went to hold Lyons love were barred
by her on the witness stand-an ordeaI
that brought about her physical break
down.
For two months she has been at
liberty on bail and resting at quiet
sanitarium.
The defense, as in the former trial
will be based on three predicates--
self defense, emotional insanity, and
denial of actual responsibility for
Lyons death. 1t was attempted to
prove that Lyon died from surgical
operatiOn.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea Of the quantity Of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l, 1914. to
January l. 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,100,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion Of the diet
for %. 194,570 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 1900 900 bushels.
Pork exports for the 81 years amount
ed to almost 2,O0OO00,0OO pounds. Ex-
ports of fresh beef totaIed 443, 4S4, 400
pounds. The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

BOLO SAYS OTHERS
WILL DIE TRAITORS


PARIS, April 16.-"I shall go to
Vincennes (where military executions

follow" said Paul Bolo, alias Bolo
Pasha to his keeper, Monday, the

He is continuing to make the reve-

him an indefinite postponement of the
executing of his death sentence for

about their purport.
He was to make further revelations
which were expected to conclude the

If elected shall perform. with cour-
