T. Carmichael, gave the coroner's jurg here last night the officlal picture of the two weeks ef- fort, aJ follows: “I have been active In the rescue work at Band Cave since two weeke this last Tuesday. “It was Monday night before 1 knew Colling was entombed. I se- lected Thomas Smith and sent him with 10 men to Mammoth Cave. hey had been instructed to do whatever they could and to advise mo as early as possible of the-condi- tions, They reported about 5:30 next morning that the situation was very serious and there was more or less confusion, “I asked what they needed in the rescue work., They sald that I was needed. T arrived at Sand Cave at 12 o'clock. All Were Hopeful. “I got my first rcal information from Casey Jones as to conditions in the cave. That information was that there was no special difficulty in reaching Collins, but that he was in a horribly close squeeze and that the hole was a small one and particu- larly tight. “Cagey told me he had reached Collins and fed him. Collins told Casey his feet were caught in a crevice under a rock he guessed to] welgh about forty or fifty pounds. | “I understood that Collins said he | loosened the rocks. Jones and all | of the men had expressed some hope | of getting him out. | “By Tuesday night we were some- | what discouraged. | “Everything went well until Wed- | | nesday, during the early hours, Feb- | ruary 4. I decided Johnny Gerald | was the real man to get Collins out. | Thursday morning early I asked | | Gerald to pick a party to go in. | “He told me no sane man would | attempt to go through the place {after he came out that time. | Men Were Heroes. | “Men did things that all the | money in the world would not buy. Wednesday morning, February 4, a party came out and said that con- | | ditions on this side of Colllns were very critical, that there was a ten or | | twelve foot epace with a rotten roof closing every minute.” This party | went in and gave Collins nourish- ment, “To the best of my knowledge they | were not reaching Collins early | Thursday morning. The work of | timbering the tunnel was hegun and wa found that it was impossible, ag the formation was treacherous and dangerous. | “Mr. Anderson, Mr. Ford and | Lieutenant Wells made a survey for | & shatt. I was certain that we woutd =t locate Colling at a 65-foot level and we located a shaft 6o as to mias him about ten feet “We started the shaft Thursday week ago at about 1:30 o'clock in the afternon, feel that the shaft was the .neatest of any other little job I ever saw, I don't belleve another set of men In th United States could have done' any quicker work. As we went deeper what seemed to bo a slip was more frequent, Dangerous Work, ““When the shaft reached about 45 feet we hit a bunch of muck and loose boulders. At 52 feet loose ma- terlal was falling out so fast that I began to have fears of the shaft pulling in two, "“We decided to leave the shaft and drift from the tunnel slde of the shaft to a crevice, “Every man working was given to understand that we thought Floyd Collins was alive, After driv- ing this heading about ten feet we went on through the shell and, at 12 or 15 feet when ‘we broke through the limestone ledge we came point blank into the original cavern. This was just below the slide six or eight feet above Collins, “To take the man from his pres- ent position would probably result in the death of one or more of the rescue party. We were determind to either bring Floyd Collins out of there of to prove to the world that I"loyd Collins was in there and that it was not a hoax, I feel that we have definitely established that fact,” 23 MAIN (New Britain) START OUR ORIGIY | contronting the New England tobac- AL SEMI-AD TOBACCO GROWERS | HUCH WORRIED See Need of Lower Govt, Taxes on Cigars Hartford, Feb, 18.—The sltuation co farmer i so very serlous that un- less congress glves rellef in lower internal revenue taxes on cigars, to- bacco growers in thls section will he gréatly diminished, sald Joseph W Alsop of Avon at the 42nd annual meeting of the New England Tobac- co Growers' ussociation today at Jewell hall, Y.
