Prohibition Bill Debate Tangles Whisky Sales Rumor Denied
Indianapolis officials and the Indiana Anti-Saloon League dismissed reports that the new prohibition code would legalize whisky sales by druggists on doctor prescriptions. The discussion arose amid fears that a loophole allowed quarter bottle sales, but agents confirmed the measure mirrors the 1917 dry law with strict limits on alcohol types and dispensing practices. The Lyons incident of a man fatally burned by kerosene while preparing breakfast is also reported as a separate local tragedy.
