The national board of the Young Women's Christian Association, which runs the Grace Dodge hotel, won over a cigarette and tobacco dispute in equity court. Judge Siddons dismissed Andrew Pollock's bid to halt an ouster case, noting potential for settlement. Pollock's lease expired in October and renewal was barred over alleged stock withdrawals. The board also cited dissatisfaction with Pollock's conduct at the beauty parlor. An agreement to withdraw tobacco stock was demanded. Also noted was the May 17 unveiling of Alexander Hamilton's status, planned by Lt. Col. Sherrill as part of Treasury grounds.
