ARID HOLIDAYS FOR TRAVELERS, HOTEL’S DICTUM No Setups Order to Be Respected, Prediction at Convention. "Without benefits of set-ups.” Indiana’s traveling public will find this a truity during the "cheer” times of Christmas and New Year, it was forecast today by members of the Indiana Hotels Association as they opened their thirty-fifth annual convention in the Severin. "The prohibition question will be ignored at our business sessions,” vouched Lase D. Weathers, secretary of the association. “The prohibition director has ordered no ‘set ups’ in hotels and members will obey that order. The association will not pass a resolution of any character in reference to the ruling,” he said. Following a luncheon at noon today, the association’s business session opened with an address of welcome by Paul Q. Richey, president of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. Urging the rehabilitation of old hotels, M. E. Woolley of Chicago, editor of the Hotel World, in an address this afternoon said: "Redecorate your old hotels, develop your building's natural beauty, put in shower baths—they are popular—and when you have finished, put up a few electrical direction signs, a snappy uniform on the bellboy, insist that your clerks look neat, and then dress yourself up and spend a little time in the lobby receiving the congratulations of your guests.” A dinner-dance Is scheduled for tonight in the Riley room of the Claypool with the annual banquet climaxing the convention Saturday night on the Severin roof. i\ Harold Van Orman, president of the Van Orman Hotel Company. Evansville, will be toastmaster, and Frederick J. Landis, Logansport editor, the speaker. Officers will be elected Saturday afternoon.
