The professor showed cubes containing alcohol at a Progress Club talk in Holyoke, claiming several samples seized in raids yield effects akin to whiskey. He presented about 50 samples of booze and related substances and emphasized the cubes as the standout exhibit.
Members of the Progress Club sampled cubes passed around for inspection with pleasing results. Professor Allyn refused to reveal the method of making the whiskey cubes or their source, inviting investigators to visit his laboratory to examine daily samples.

Senators Tarbell and reps Keniston Ryder Aldrich Dale and Drew dissent from the report backing the bill.
