ATLANTIC CITY is
WIDE OPEN AGAIN

Atlantic City, ". j., Sept. 8.-Atlantic
City was as wide open yesterday as
on any former Sunday OF the season.
The decision to allow the saloons to
open was reached by the political and
official heads of the resort at mid
night Saturday when the action Of the
reformers, In causing the arrest OF
Mayor Stoy for failure TO obey the or
der of Attorney General Wilson. had
removed the alternative OF saving the
head of the city government by closing
the saloons yesterday.
The Rev. Bierney Hudson. leader OF
the ministerial refOrmers, said that the
failure of Mayor Stoy to close up the
city will result In further action
against him. Special detectives made a
circuit OF city saloons and more war;
rants will be issued on their testimony
for additional arregts.
The state detectives brought here by
Prosecutor Goldenborg to break up
gambling have driven nearly every
gambling house out of business. Prose-
cutor Goldenborg declares the state de-
tectives will be kept here for months,
IL necessary, and that gambling is to
be stamped entirely out OF the resort.

SOUTHWEST is
BADLY WROUGHT
UP ABOUT HATS
Shall Plugs or Sombreros Be
Worn When President Taft
Comes to Texas?

Austin, Tex, Sept. S.-The local re-
ception committees OF the towns and
cities OF Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and
New Mexico. which r to greet Presi-
dent Taft when he makes his trip
through the Southwest In October, are
bothered over the question Of clothes.
In some OF the towns the discussion
OF how the members OF the reception
committee should be rugged out on the
momentous occasion Is being carried
on In the columns OF the local news
papers. There Is a wide difference OF
opinion on the subject, Over In El
Paso. some OF the committeeman be-
lieve 1t would be proper for them to all
dress In a kind Of uniform, others say
dress suits and top hats are the right
caper and still others want the COM
mittee to adopt the charro suit OF the
Mexican ranchero.
In New Mexico and Arizona the situ-
alton Is just as bad. In the towns out
there the communities vow almost as
one man that they will not discard
their white sombreros and boots for
any visitor, no matter IL he is president
of the United States.
In San Antonio, J. p. Kirkpatrick has
been posting himself On h rules of
elegance on such occasions. He has
reached the conclusion that each MEM
Der OF the committee should be per-
mited to welcome the president In
whatever kind OF attire he may choose
to wear. He believes Mr.. Taft would
be better pleased and be made to feel
more at home IL the least possible
formalities were shown n the greet
ings. Judge Charles w. Ogden, who Is
the head of the San Antonio reception
committee, Is also OF this opinion.
When the president gets down In the
cattle country below a Antonio the
local reception committee will make
UP in h~eartiness OF their welcome what
they may lack In stylishness of clothes,
The dress question is not worrying
them n down ther.
1t is in the would-be social centers
OF Oklahoma where the local commit
tees are supposed to set the standard
in etipuet that the greatest excite
ment exists over the dress problem. In
some OF the Oklahoma towns special
committees have been appointed to in
vestigate precedents and make full re-
ports as to Just what is the proper
attire for them when Mr.. Taft makes
his visit.

KNOWLES PAID INTEREST.

Deadwood, s. d., Sept. Sit would
seem that the last has not yet been
heard OF the Knowles case. Freeman
Knowles, editor of a socialist paper,
has just been releaEed from Jail, where
he was confined pending the payment
of a $500 fine, imposed upon him by
the United States courts, on the charge
of having sent obscene matter through
the mails. The money for the payment
OF his fine was raised by a number of
unions in the Hills, and In addition to
the fine itself, interest on the amount
since II was imposed was collected to
the amount of SAB. 1t Is the opinion Of
some that the government vas not en-
titled to interest on the fine, and IL is
reported that Mr.. Knowles Is con-
sidering the matter and may decide
TO bring action against the government
for the recovery of that amount.

Gated by a reply sent today by h JUS
toms division OF the treasury depart

Jones, editor of a New York aeronauti-
cal publication.
There Is no specific provision In the
