taminated smoke. The sap of the
plant may be carried indirectly by
clothing. tools. insects and other
objects. In this way IL may reach
the skin OF persons who are quite a
distance from the plant.
The sap OF the plant causes intense
Irritation OF the skin. Swelling,
itching and formation of bllsters, at

noticed. IL spreads and may event
uaily cover the entire BODY.

FORCONSPIRACY
in JAKE CASES

LOS ANGELES, April II. W.P)-
Five men and one woman were un-
der arrest today on charges OF con-
spiracy TO violate the national pro-
hibition act, resulting from the dis
covery that more than 100 persons
were suffering from paralysis as
result of drinking Jamaica ginger.
Indictments returned Wednesday
by the federal grand jury named
Jacob Rosenbloom, head OF the
California Extract company; Sarah
Rosenbloom, his wife: Irving and
Bert Rosenbloom, their sons: Cyrus
r. Hamilton, drugstore owner, and
Irving j. Fallowfield, pharmacist
clerk.
a number of inmates of the ma
tional home for disabled veterans
became paralyzed after drinking
Jake extract some of which pur-
portedly was sold by Hamilton and
Fallowfield. and supplied by the
others. The specific charge against
the six is that they sold liquid ex-
tracts for beverage purposes in vio-
lation of the dry law.
Each of the defendants provided
bail, ranging from $4,000 In the
case of Jacob Rosenbloom, to 1000
for Bert Rosenbloom. They will be
arraigned in United States district
court next week.

OUTSIDE JUDGE
TO HEAR CHARGE
AGAINST RECORD

LOS ANGELES, April II. U.P)--
Allegations of prejudice made by
the Los Angeles Record against Su-
perior Judge Frank d. Collier, who
cited the publication for contempt
of court, will be heard by Superior
Judge j. T. B. Warne, of Toulomne
county, it was announced today.
The Record was cited for con-
tempt following the publication of
editorials criticizing District Attor-
ney Buron Fits and the 1890 grand
jury year ago.
Objections that Judge Collier was
prejudiced were made by counsel for
the record when the contempt pro-
ceedings were scheduled to be heard
by Judge Collier. A lengthy battle
insued with the supreme court fin
ally ruling that contempt in this
instance. If existent, was construc-
tive contempt. and therefore judge
could be charged with prejudice.
Date for the prejudice hearing
will be set later by Judge Warne,
who was appointed by the state ju-
dicial council
