(By the Associated Press) —The limestone roof of Floyd Collins’ cavern. was reached at the base of the rescue tunnel early today at the 45 foot stage and “any minute” the diggers expect to find a crevice or cayern which can be opened suf. ficiently for the rescuers to work thelr way down to Collins, pinioned in a rock vise at the foot of Sand Cave. At 10 o'clock this morning Collins had been under ground thirteen days, had not been fed for eight days, and his voice was last heard a week Amplification tests across the elec tric light wires lea¢ing down to him had convinced physicians here that “preathing sounds were being trans- mitted by the jiggling of the carbon lamp on Collins’ chest. These tests failed to record anything yesterday, put the physicians and radio experts, refused to admit that this would In- dicate he was dead. THey believed only that the light had burned out, or fallen from its socket. The down draft in the rescue shaft became stronger this morning, nerv- ing the weary diggers to fresh ef- forts. The return late last night_of the Western Normal football squad, excused from classes until the finish of the race against death, also heart- ened the diggers, although they all realize that possibly two days may clapge before they reach Collins, un Jess fate points the way through an unexpected tunnel. The bottom of the dirt and sand stone ‘ cap” overlying tho roof of the old cayern which once filled the tiny Sand Cave valley, was reached early this morning when “shelving lime- ed with eolid rock not : ahead, M crevices began to ae Increasing the downdraft, but none w ot found which would indicate any sizeable tunnel.

W. H. HUNTLEY CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 12.—While there is material in the transcripts from the state auditor’s record of pay- ments of “under cover” accounts filed by the law enforce- ment brigade, and paid by order of the governor, three brief lists are presented here. They indicate that the thoughts of law enforcers center largely upon booze, while playing pool and poker are second ary The investment in pool ,of course is not heavy, but in poker it Is different and {s always a total lors. It is apparently up to the state to employ good poker players, so that an occasional winning may be recorded. In the record, however, where such pastimes ate spoken of DORTMUND, Gertnany, Feb. 12.. —{By The Associated Press)}—Thirty workmen were killed by an explo: sion of fire damp in the Stein Mines last night and 100 others are miss- ing. Only elght men were rescued alive. nothing but lorsés are entered to be paid out of state money. If tlie state is going to continue these enforce- ment activities it is suggested that new and better poker players be em ployed. During April and May of 1924 the state audtlor’s records dirclose by warrants 326,919 and 329,387 that Mr. A. Thickstum of the law enforce: ment department expended the sum little hope of rescuing the entombed coln at wwe y UY cated to the proposition that all men are created equal. that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, is altogéther fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we' cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. Itis for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to - unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from those honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these’dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the peo- ple, by the people, for the pecple, shall not perish from this earth.
