ATLANTIC CITY WIDE OPEN.
Liquor Sold Freely Yesterday and No
Arrests Were Made.

About one-half of the hotel proprietors
and saloon keepers of this resort today car
ried out their intention to test the Sunday
closing law, and as a result this resort was
wide OPEN" says an Associated Press dis
patch from Atlantic City last night. The
pavilions, grottos, cafes and saloons that
were open did their usual big Sunday bust
ness. No arrests were made for violation
of the law. The mayor says that uniformed
policemen are prohibited from entering
drinking places except to queu a riot or
serve q warrant, and, therefore, the police
have no direct evidence that the law was
violated.
1t was said that the Law and Order So
ciety. which up to year ago was quite
active ferreting out licensed saloons, had
corps Of detectives out today gathering
evidence for the purpose of prosecuting the
violators of the law. The hotel men and
saloon keepers are preparing to defend
themselves In case they are prosecuted.
At Cape May things were different All
the saloons and hotel bars remained closed
In obedience to the new Sunday prohibition
law. The authorities, however were active
In their efforts to obtain any information as
to the breaking of the law, but they did not
seem to have discovered any evidence that
liquor had been sold. 1t was said that not
even the side doors were opened This was
the second Sunday for the bars to remain
closed, though reports have been plentiful
the past few days that several Of the pro-
prietors would open their places for traffic
as formerly.

REVIEW OF HAWAIIS EXPERIENCE
Growth of industry Under Re-
ciiprocaI Relations.
INTERESTING STATISTICS

The action Of the Porto Ricans in prompt
ly accepting that feature of the Porto
Rican act. which authorizes free trade be-
tween the island and the United States is
likely to give them great advantages over
their sister islands of the West Indies. At
least, this is reasonable conclusion from
an examination Of some figures just made
public by the treasury bureau of statistics
regarding the prosperity which Hawaii en-
joyed after the reciprocity treaty which ad-
mitted the sugar of those islands into the
United States free of duty. These figures
show that the sugar production of the Ha-
Waiian Islands has increased over 2 600 per
cent under the free admission Of their su-
gar to the markets of the United States,
while the other cane sugar producing is
lands and countries have during that time
suffered great depression, and In many
cases heavy losses.
1t was in 1876 that the reciprocity treaty
was made between the United States and
the Hawaiian Islands. Prior to that date
the average production Of sugar in the is
