Indiana Supreme Court voids state constitutional amendment
The Indiana Supreme Court ruled the prohibitory constitutional amendment was not legally adopted. The record failed to show passage in the Eighteenth Assembly and the House and Senate measures differed in form and substance. The next General Assembly cannot correct these errors, and journals did not carry the full amendment text. The decision warns against proceeding without clear legality to avoid future litigation.

Brewster Seen in Drunken Senate Nightcap and Comedy
Washington dispatch reports Attorney General Brewster after leaving the Senate chamber staggered toward the north door with Brewster Cameron. He saluted a bystander and, in a drunken display, snapped fingers and waved his arm as if calling a dog while being observed by others. The Critic calls him hopelessly intoxicated and notes Governor Butler conversed with Dawes on the senate floor. A beer-fueled misadventure ends with Brewster leaving Driver’s hotel after a short visit to hear singing.
