Sunday Liquor Sales in Honolulu

IN the city of Honolulu, saloons are not allowed to be open on Sunday, but when the Pacific squadron of armored cruisers called there on their way to the Philippines, a large quantity of liquor was purchased outside the city on Saturday and was delivered to the sailors on Sunday in the streets of Honolulu. As the liquor was not sold on that day, and not sold in saloons, the authorities could do nothing. The Attorney-General is threatening to have the brewery people prosecuted under an old ordinance which forbids work on Sunday. It need not be at all surprising if this should result in a resurrection and enforcement of this obsolete Sunday law.
