tiles on receiving the reports of the
results Of the Sunday closing of bar
rooms and all drinking places for The

attempt was made in this city or any
of the towns in the federal district to
evade the law. There were no rear

prised to find the law so universally
obeyed. The result on criminal sta
tis+ics was at once felt, there hav-
ing been only one fifth of the usual
number of arrests. This fact iusti-
fies the law in the eyes of all respect

for it's effective temperance work.
The federal district government has
in contemplation other measures for
controlling the liquor trade with a
