states today were asked bv Prohibi-
tion Commissioner Doran to obtain
samples of the Jamaica ginger re-
ported to have caused paralysis to
a number of drinkers in southern

tion bureau.
Jamaica ginger. Doran said, nor-
mally was made with pure alcohol
Containing no denaturants. The
paralytic affliction could be caused
easily by drinking an alcohol known
as Isopropyl. This product, some-
what resembling wood alcohol, was
produced synthetically, he said, and
while not a beverage was used at
times as flavoring.

Two P-»p<wals
Small's proposal calls for the ex-
penditure of $100,000 for improve-
ments at Huntsville and $350,000 for
the construction of a central farm
unit on either of the four farms and
excludes improve.nent of the indus-
trial, units.
He prop«ed the appropriation of
$50,000 for knnrowng the Goree farm
for women. Provision also was made
ft* an inter-prison road system to
be constructed by convicts under the
supervision of the state highway de-
partment with $25,000 appropriated
for this purpose
The house minority proposed a bill
to spend $150,000 al Huntsville, $50.-
000 for a portable camp, and $200 -
000 for the TmjJRivement of the Im-
perial. Darrington, Ramsey. Harlem

Moody Blame* Miller
In fixing the blame for the imme-
diate failure of some kind of pris-
on reformation legislation on Lieu-
tenant Governor Barry Miller, be-
cause of his action in appointing
to fill the places of the resigned
members of the penitentiary con-
ference committee senators a major-
ity of whom were against the ad-
ministration plap of building an in-
dustrial unit near Austin. Governor
Moody admitted that the best that
could be done now would be an ap-
propriation bill to ''repair'' and
"patch.'*
He said there was nothing to be
done except to construct a prison
plant on one of the penitentiary
farms or the appropriation of mon-
ey to patch up existing pfojlertfes
"Neither will reach the cause of
losses, amounting to millions of dol-
lars. which the people of Texas have
sustained in the attempted operation
of the present prison system,” lie
i said
