NATURE -REFUSES 10 GIVE UP BODY (Continued from First Page) Sand Cave. Mr. Posey while re-| fraining to say definitely that it had been dectded to dismember parts of the body, and he wanted the doctor to be on the scene at once if such a | procedure was resorted to. H. T. Carmichael, in charge of the | shaft anounced that he advocated amputating the head or arm of Col- lins to convince the public that he really Is Yhere, and then return the severed member to its proper posi- tlon and seal the prison tomb. Favors Burial There Mr. Carmichael in emphasizing his | recommendation of burial in the present position, said he sug- | this mode be followed due to | ardous condition of the| in the shaft. Some of the eribbing had slipped as much as six feet in the bottom of the shaft dur- ing the night, he said, making the position of the shaft workers more dangerous every minute they re- mained there, Lee Collins,. aged father of the cave victim, told a group of news- | paper men this morning that he did not favor severipg part of his boy's | body for identification purposes and that he would Tather have the body | remain in its present position than to ask workmen to undergo more risk to their lives. Amputation Tmpractical The proposed amputation of Col- lins' left foot, which is pinned by a large rock into a crevice which formed a natural vise, was found | impracticable as the surgeons were | unable to reach.his foot. An carly | morning attempt failed to drag the body from the barrel-like hole 50| amputation could be possible. It| was found impossible to reach| further than the torso. Lee Collins, father of the cave | explorer, had given permission for | amputation of the feet. | Plan a Photograph H It the plan of Mr. Carmichael are adopted, a newspaper photogra- pher will take a flashlight picture | of Collins and members of a cor oner's jury andidentification wit nesses will make trips into the cave | to view Collins before he is buried, | where he was trapped eighteen days ago. “I am satisfied in my own mind that Floyd Collins' body will never | be brought to the surface said | Carmichael. “Conditions are getting worse in the cave every minute. The walls may collapse at any time, Would Settle Doubts “People of this neighhorhood are | convinced that Collins is in there, but residents of other states possi- Dbly doubt it.

Then the severed member should be returned to the corpse and the grave sealed. “Persons who were well acquaint. ed with Collins should be allowed to see him and testify as to the identl. ty of the cave victim. The coroner's jury also should see him. These men should decide whether it would be advisable to make further effort to recover the bod: Tunnel Dangerous Albert Marshall, Danville, Ky, | who with Ed Brenner of Cinclnnati, was the first to reach Collins Monday afternoon, described the natural cave tunnel as absolutely dangerous, placed all of the timbering in the rescuo shaft and lateral tunnel, had re- peatedly gone into perilous places unhesitatingly. “It is a risk ot life to venture into the cave from the lateral tunnel to Collins,” sald Marshall. “Loose rocks in the roof threaten to fall at any moment and will do so it (lhlvl turbed.” A skylight framework had been put into the hole where the workers yesterday afternoon broke through the cavern roof twelve feet away from the bottom of the 65-foot shaft. Sent in to ldentify Magistrate Clay Turner sent in four men to Colling at 9:15 this morning to establish the identity of the cave victim. They were John Gerald, Ish Lancaster, Wallace Page and Norman Parker, all acquaint- ances of Collins. Enter One At a Time The men went Into the hole one at a time. Magistrate Turner ex- plained that he acted on the instruc- tions of J. Lewis Willlams of Glas- gow, commonwealth's attorney of the district. The purpose was to es- tablish the corpus dellciti, Magis- trate Turner sald, so that in the event that it would be found im- possible to remove the body, that the identification could be estab- lished. The men were also to testify be- at the in- quest into Collins' death and before the Barren county grand jury should the inquisitorial body see fit to probe into the circumstances of Coilins’ (eath and the rescue efforts when it | convenes March 2. 1t was announc | hy Magistrate Turner that County Attorney Paul Greer and Commonwealth’s Attorney Williams would visit the ascene to- day, and that a coroner’s inquest would be inaugurated, the jury to be made up of residents of Barren county. Objects to Dynamiting Ben Doyle, owner of the farm, six miles from Cave City, on which the | entrance to sand cave is located, to- day objected to the proposed plan to dynamite the cavern after the body of Floyd Collins is recovered, Carmichael had advised dynamit- ing the hole to avert a similar tragedy. He contended that the place was 8o dangerous that it should be destroyed to prevent other adventurers from suffering a simi- lar fate of death through exhaus- tion, starvation and thirst after being caught underground. Doyle, who sald he had received several good offers for sand cave, objected to the,dynamiting plan. He said that if the officials were going to do anything they should put the dirt back into the hole. The Collins' shaft and lateral tun- nel were dug by volunteer workers, who are anxious to return to their homes as soon as Collins' body has been brought to the surface or ef- forts to recover the bhody are aban- doned, and he is buried there. There | is little likelthood of the shaft and tunnel being filled up. Tt would take weeks of labor to do it. Time of Death Indefinite how long Collins had been dead may never be determined exactly. The physician sald that it was im- possible to determine from examina- tion of the head alone how long Col- lins had been dead. Even &hould the body be brought to the surface and an examination made, the cal- culations might be two or days off, Dr. Hazlett said. The only mention of the time that Collins had been dead was the state- ment of physicians Monday after- noon that death had occurred more than 24 hours before the vietim was reached. This estimate was fixed from the answers of Ed Brenner to questions made by doctors. First steps toward dismantling the sand cave rescue camp were taken at noon. Half of the canopy which had been stretched over the shaft and cave entrance to protect workers was removed. A specially construct- ed cradle in which Collins was to have been brought to the surface was discarded. Tools which had been used about the mouth of the shaft were dumped |in wheelbarrows and carted away to wheelbar- left behind a designated spot. The rows themselves were the pile of tools. Thanks Rescue Chief Lee Collins, aged father of Floyd Collins, tearfully thanked H. T. Car- michael, who was in charge of the rescue shaft work which reached the body of the trapped cave explorer. “Mr, Carmichael, T want to get your picture, sure” said the aged man, “and keep it with me alway: May the good Lord bless you and your brave men."” “Mr. Collins,” Carmichael replied, “I tell you that without God Al- mighty's assistance, we couldn’t have done it. He has permitted us to pass some places here which without his ald were fmpassable. If your faith in humanity ever falters, just know there are those whose faith | extends to all parts of the earth.” Cave City, Ky.. Feb, 17.—Lee Col- lins, who kept vigil at sand cave un- til the body of his son was reached, today requested newspapermen to express his thankfulness to all who helped in the fight and all prayer for his son “Do that for “Thank them all. and all who worked Floyd might be dead, but the work has not heen in vain for it was God's will,”” he said. Light Was Out The electric light bulb, around Collins' neck by Willlam Burke Miller, Louisville Courier Journal reporter, was still in posi- tion when Collins' body was reach- ed. The light was not burning. The bulb and a length of the wiring was me,” he asked.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 17.—An im- mediate, thorough investigation by three or more disinterested doctors of the hody of Floyd Collins has been ordered by the state, Governor Fields said today. The governor said he ordered M. E. S. Posey, executive secretary of the state highway commission, to have the doctors examine the body of Colling for “investigation of pos- sible foul play, including poisoning.” “I wish the country to know all the facts, I wish the stomach of Collins examined,” he added. “There should be no suspicion left in the minds of the public when this thing is over.” BLANE OPEN FIRES FORHEAVY LOSSES Londoners Trying to Reduce Size of Annual Fog Bill * Feb. with London have tackled rencwed energy their fog bill which often causes a loss to the community of $5,000,000 a day. Scientists have concluded that while it was impossible altogether to abolish fogs, as provided by nature, it is possible to have comparatively cleaner ones by doing away with the soft coal smoke evil caused by some 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 smok- ing chimneys, Officlals of the Coal Smoke Abate- ment soclety estimated recently that there were 600,000 inhabited Louses in London nearly every room of which, including the kitchen, has its open firep! by which the homes are heated. These fires pour their quota of dirt and soot into the r all day long and far into the night. Ordimarily the soot is car- ried off by the elements, but when a heavy fog sets in the particles remain suspended in the atmos- phere, shatting out the sun entirely, and turn daylight {into darkness. Clean fogs could not do this. During a recent fog here, which lasted the better part of three days, as most of them do, scientists es- timated that there were from 250 to 300 tons of soot floating about in the alr within the London area. Statistics have been compiled show- | ing that London's annual soot-fall amounts to something llke 75,000 tons. Every individual in the city is af- fected, more or less, by the heavy fogs and smoke nuisance. Traffic sometimes comes almost to a stand- still, and shop dealers often close up thelr stores because of lack of business. During the fog season this winter alone it has been estimated | that the loss to the community has been at least $35,000,000. Ny a system of education, pro- | moters of the idea of a cleaner fog | hope eventu to do away with | heating. These would be replaced by gas, electricty, central heating or the use of stoves burning anthracite instead of the bituminous fuel | which has caused so much of the trouble, A Dr. John §. Owens, who has taken a leading part in the smoke abate- ment movement for more that 30 | years, says that within 10 or 15 cars virtually all the open fire- ple# s will have heen done away with, Droadly speaking Tondon will then he virtually a smokeless city, and when the fogs do come, they will at least be clean.

Through some psychological ap- peal to human nature, probably the commonly abhorred situation of be- Ing buried alive, the entombment of Collins drew the attention of virtual- ly every citizen of the United States land even aroused interest in many |other countries. Had the boulder crushed him to death instead of pinioning one foot, his fate probably would have been recited in a line or two in a few lo- | cal newspapers, but as soon as it be- came apparent that his rescue would be difficult, if at all possible, news- | paper correspondents flocked to |Cave City by the dozens, There were upward of 150 correspondents and photographers at the cave Dby the time the excavators finalty reached Collins, only to find him dead. Truring the sixteen days that al- most superhuman efforts were ex- erted by those tunneling into the [earth in an attempt to rescue Col- lins virtually every newspaper in the country printed from one to five front page. Speclal wires were strung to the very edge of the shaft by the As- sociated Press in order to give the waiting millions the latest word about the progress of the rescue party in the shortest possible time. As the tunnelers approached the place where Collins was imprisoned and the word was flashed from time to time that they might reach him soon, leased wires throughout the country were held overtime for fear that news of the finding of the im- prisoned man might be delayed for even a few moments, ‘When the miners finally broke through the roof of Collin's prison and word of his discovery was shout- ed to the top of the fiffy-five foot shaft it was merely a matter of sec- onds before virtually every neiws- paper in the qnlt(‘d States knew that the lost man had been found, but too late to save his life. e e NOTICE OF SALE By virtue of a judgment of fore- elosure by sale in the action of A.
