Attorney General Moves to End Such Action with

General tightening of Prohibition enforcement which is taking place throughout the country under in- structions from Attorney General William Mitchell is extended tc Alaska, as indicated by recent or ders received by the United States Attorneys office of the First Di- vision.

ROAD BUILDING
INCREASES 100 PCT.
Secretary Lamont Places
Figures at $114,101,383
During First Quarter.

Road building throughout the coun-
try during the first quarter Of 1880
showed an increase of more than 100
per cent over that begun during the
same period last year, Secretary Lamont
announced yesterday.
1.-THE figures, which cover almost rs
per cent of the country, show contracts
awarded for construction during the
first quarter of this year valued at
$114,101 $685." the Secretary said,
against $5o,910,133 for the correspond
ing period Of last year, net increase
Of slightly over 124 per cent for the
group Of States which have reported so
far.
Three States, West Virginia, New
Mexico and South Dakota, which
awarded no highway contracts during
the first three months of 1929. report
awards totaling $4,367,075 for the first
quarter Of 1880.
Ohio and Idaho Leading.
1.-THE greatest relative increases are
shown In Ohio and Idaho. In the former
State the awards for the first three
months of this year were approximate
ly IL times greater than the correspond
ing quarter q year ago, while 1daho
shows increased awards over 80 times
larger than last year.
Pennsylvania with contracts awarded
valued at 15,469,8 1853 for the first quar-
ter of 1880, against $2,282,813 for the
same period of 1929, has the greatest
dollar value. This Is an increase OF SIT
per cent.
Contracts for highway construction
in New Hampshire during the f1rst
quarter of this year increased 755 per
cent, Washington $50 per cent, and
Colorado ASS per cent.
"Other substantial increases were
Oregon, $50 per cent; Maryland, 225
per cent; Iowa, 207 per cent; Wisconsin,
202 per cent; California, 181 per cent;
Indiana, 1866 per cent; North Carolina,
1855 per cent; Missouri, LA per cent;
Florida, 100 per cent, and Virginia,
100 per cent.
Increase Of Importance.
Among the States which registered
smaller increases are Nevada, 80 per
cent; Kansas, 68.1 per cent; Con-
cent; New Jersey, 31.S per cent; New
York, 31.2 per cent; Arizona, 25.8 per
cent; South Carolina, 1913 per cent;
Utah, 20 per cent, and Minnesota, 1876
per cent.
Decreases over last year were re-
ported for Kentucky, which declined
So per cent, Michigan, SIS per cent;
Delaware, $40 per cent; Montana, ap-
proximately 80 per cent, and Arkansas,
IL per cent.
"The great increase in early season
highway construction Is matter of
considerable national importance" said
Secretary Lamont. Improved high
ways represent material contribution
to the sterilization of business condi-
lions of the present and the future, and
the large volume of early awards may
be especially significant in connection
with the problem Of spreading en-
ployment throughout the year.
Of each dollar spent for highway build
ing and maintenance is paid for labor
involved"

on cots and by ambulances. helpless
and, so far, virtually hopeless.
While the exact cause of the poison
still remains mystery to the chemists,
DR.. Doran declared that every effort of
the Prohibition Bureau was being con-
centrated on bringing to justice the
persons suspected of putting the drink
on the market. He hopes that con-
victionS will follow.
Monkey Regains Grip.
Meantime, the little monkey in the
laboratory of the Public Health Serv-
ice here, fed some of the suspected
ginger, lost his griup for quite a while,
and then mysteriously regained it.
The monkey story was related by Dr.
G. w. Mccoy, director of the Hygienic
Laboratory of the Public Health Service
The monkey was fed some of the
Jamaica ginger from bottle, which
was supposed to contain the same kind
OF stun which had caused paralysis
The little fellow got weak. He lost
some of his grip on life, and most of
the grip IN his paws. But suddenly,
and without warning, instead of get
ting worse, as had been expected, he
got well, and now is as risky as ever
Some dogs which were treated with
the mysterious liquor also recovered,
DR.. Mccoy said. And still some kind of
Jamaica liquor is causing fearful paraly-
sis among human beings.
Victims Not Recovering.
The most serious thing about the ia
maica ginger mystery, from a public
health standpoint, DR.. Mccoy said, was
that the victims are not recovering
from their paralysis. Several months
have gone by, since the first cases, Hr.
Mccoy said, and, to use a popular
phrase, they are getting no better fast"
In one Southern State according to
the latest reports from a Government
agent DR.. Mccoy stated there are now
more than 5000 cases.
DR.. M. !. Smith, an expert on studies
OF intoxication, has been sent by the
Public Health Service to Cincinnati
Ohio, where 500 cases are reported, and
from there he is going on down into
Tennessee.
Neither our studies in the field nor
in the laboratory" DR.. Mccoy said,
prove anything definite. We suspect
creosote, but we have no proof yet that
creoSote does it. Creosote appears to
be the best lead. but that lead remains
to be followed and proven"
DR.. Paul Dunbar, assistant chief Of
the food and drug administration of
the Department of Agriculture, de-
clared that this department had been
working on the cases since the first
was reported. 1T Is one Of the most
mysterious things we have ever met"
declared DIR. Dunbar.
1T has been utterly impossible to
find anything in the many samples SO
far analysed which would be responsible
for the paralysis Of nerve centers which
appears to result. Jamaica ginger is an
authorized article, and when made pure,
he explained, is a cure for stomach
ache. Because the suspected articles
have been so damaging, he said, the de-
partment Is attempting to develop
case Of violation Of the pure food and
drug act.
Mississippi was said by DR.. Doran
to be inflicted with the paralysis worse
than any other State, according to re-
ports. It is also present In Alabama,
Kentucky. Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ar
kansas and some parts Of New Eng
land.
