The Prohibition national committee faces either closing or declining an option on Tomlinson Hall for July. Chairman C. E. Newlin announced the plan after adjournment of the Democratic national convention in St. Louis. Rumors say Dr. Bilas C.

Stewart, Prohibition national chairman, arrives in Indianapolis to address a meeting at Masonic Hall and to speak to the Prohibition youth college in the VY.36 A hall.
