EXPLOSIVES LAW MUST BE OBEYED, SAYS INSPECTOR The law regarding the ttale mid »tor ntj’' of explosives during tho war will bo rigidly enforced und violator* will bo punished severely, according to \V, N. Campbell, explosives inspector for Oregon. ‘ ‘ The people generally are willing to comply with the law,' - said Mr, Camp bell, “ but they are careless and seem to think that when they obtain their license that is all there is to do. A f ter procuring the license they must guard the explosives carefully 1 11 older that they might not be stolen by alien enemies or other persons lieut on the do struetion of property and lives. Only a few days ago a large quantity of ex plosives was stolen at Cold Hill. “ In any building or any box where explosives are stored it is necessary to have a lock that cannot easily be taken o ff. Instead o f a padlock fastened on with staples it is necessary to bolt the lock and hasp on with burs on the inside. In stores where explosives are sold it is necessary that they be kept locked up; especially* is this so in the case of giant powder caps, in many cases these caps are left on the shelves unprotected and when the merchant or clerk is in the back room they can easily be stolen.'' The explosives law is a war measure and Mr. Campbell says it has “ got to be obeyed.” He says that punishment will be meted out to violators the same as to a soldier who violates military law. There will be no chance to delay ju stice as in the ordinary criminal case. NON-PARTISAN LEADERS ARRESTED AT ST. PAUL St. Caul, Minn.. Feb. 2s.— The long expected arrest o f A. C. Tovvnley, pres ident of the National Non Partisan league, came today when S h e riff Car ver, of Martin county, arrived with a warrant charging Tovvnley with con spiracy to discourage enlistments. J o seph Gilbert, secretary of the league, was arrested on a similar charge. A statement issued at the league headquarters tonight said Tovvnley and the organization he represents are the victims of a political conspiracy and that any unfavorable verdict through the courts will be wiped out by an over whelming favorable verdict at the polls next November. Tovvnley said tonight that his arrest was a political conspiracy. “ There is hardly a declaration in our pamphlet th at has not been publicly endorsed by President Wilson with the overwhelm ing approval of the American pe op le ," he said. “ It sets for principles exactly in line with the domestic policies upd international program expressed by Woodrow Wilson in his recent m> ssages to congress.” Pitcher Is Some Catcher Harrisburg Bulletin: G.

T h e re will be a campaign of three or four weeks. In announcing the date. Secretary MeAiloo said the amount of tin loan, the Interest rate and other features, such as convertibility of bonds of pre vious issues, maturity and term s of payment, are to be determined, and that new legislation will tie necessary before plans can be completed. F ro m the fact that tho amount of the loan is dependent on further legis lation it is expected that It will be for more than JS.tiOO.OtKl.OOU. the remain der of authorized hut unissued bonds. That certificates of indebtedness as now being sold in anticip ation of the loan bear 4'u per cent, affords some indication of the Interest rate. How large the loan shall be depends largely, however, on the fate of the pending war finance hill carrying an appropriation of a half billion dollars, and action on the railroad hill with Its appropriation of a s im ilar amount.
