THREE PLANS
PROPOSED FOR
TEXAS Pens
Combination of Units;
Powerful Central
Board; And Reor-
ganization Sought

AUSTIN, Feb. 2.--P-Three fac
IoEs anxious to improve prison con-
ai.ions but each sponsoring a differ
emf method 20 obtain that end were
eVicent IN the legislature today after
. nearing last night before Joint
committees en- state prisons.
One group would effect conrep-
tration on n or two units of. the
present system, another wouId dele.
. gate power TO buy and sell lands and
locate , centralized plant to a board,
y a third would attempt to reoP-
game and improve the present sys-
TEN with only minor sales of lands.
The governor and most, if not all
the members Of the prison commits
sion, favored the second course,
which is followed by the Holbrook
bill IN the senate and in part by the
Tillotson bill in the house.
Lee Satterwhite Of Odessa, former
speaker of the house, spoke last night
in behalf OF concentration Of the
Darlington farm in Brazoria county.
Governor Moody was in attendance
throughout the hearing and spent
some time eross-questioning Satter-
white.
S~atterwhite told the committees ~if
you want to keep the prisons the
football Of politics. pass the Holbrook
bill, and you'll have it."
"Why didn't you come to the legis-
lature with a definite program and a
Recommendation for a location ?" SAT-
terwhite asked the governor and the
prison commission.
The governor replied that n board
had to have an enabling act such as
tfNz Hoibrook bill would give, before
IL could presume to make suggestions
TO the legislature.
Senator DeBerry, wko questioned
several of the speakers, took the pcsi-
tion that the legislature was pretty
well sold" on the concentration idea.
Lee j. Simmons Of Sherman, mem
Der Of the prison commission, urged
that the agricultural work be con-
centrated on the Darlington and
Camsey farms for the immediate fu-
ture and that the other farms be sold

Tale Of a Pigs Tail


"Theres pig sense for you,' assert
ed ]. Schneider of Winsted, Conn.,,
after relating the following pig-apple
story:
The pig was confined in a pen of
which an apple tree made one of the
posts. Investigation of its peculiar
actions disclosed that the pig obtained
apples which fell close to the outside
of the pen by sitting on its launches
with it's back against the fence and,
passing its tail under the fence, would
feel around until it located an apple.
The animal would then allow its tail
to curl about the apple and would
work its body forward. bringing the
fruit under the fence into the pen.
