JURY PROBES ON AT CAVE MOUTH. (Continued From Page 1) , • reported Collins had tl)e sweat of death on his brow and no pulse. This was after Marshall Collins, a brother, had offered a SSO reward for anyone who got him out. A coroner’s jury immediately was impanelled, but while It gathered about the mouth of the cave, L. B. Hooper of Nashville, Tens., went" into the 'cave and returned with a report that Collins was not dead. In the accumulation of evidence is a statement made Bunday by Andy Lee Collins of Kewanee, 111., to reporters on his arrival here. “Andy, we are going to put a straightforward question and we want you to answer with the abso lute truth,” they told hist). “Just what were the relations between your father and Johnny Geralds and your brother Floyd?”"Johnny my father were on one side and Floyd was on the other,” he replied. “Johnny and Floyd were enemies. They wanted to get Floyd’s rights In Crystal Cave which he and my father owned. At one time there was an option drawn up to let Johnny buy Floyd’s Interest and another time they made a statement that (n of Floyd's death my father should get his share. Then my father and Geralds were to go Into partnership. I don’t think Floyd ever signed either agreement.” Work Goes On Rescue workers, meanwhile, are going ahead on the theory that Collins la still alive. Dr. W. D. Hazlett, Chicago specialist, In charge of the temporary hospital at Sand Cave, has received a set of blood transfusion Instruments which he expects to use if Collins is not found dead when reached. Collins’ three brothers have offered their blood for use’ If It can do any goodDynamite and mass prayer were used for the first time Sunday In the attempt to rescue Collins, now In the eleventh day of his captivity underground. The dynamite saved only a little digging, whereas It had been hope<> that it might open up anew passage to Collins. Meanwhile hundreds/ prayed Collins might be rescued alive and asked peace for his soul In case he was dead, as is generally believed. The rescue workers seemed at least as far from Collins as they were a week ago, when the original passageway through which the man entered still offered a hope of rescue. The/use of dynamite was only part of a desperate effort which followed the discovery Sunday of a cavity about two feet wide when the rescuers had reached a depth of twen-ty-elx feet. It was enlarged by two blasts and the shaft was found to lead, nowhere. Immense Crowd There were about 16,000 people at Sand Cave Sunday afternoon. The road was blooked with automobiles so Shat It was necessary to walk about two miles to the cave from the end.'of the line of cars. The crowd was kept about 100 yards from the scene of operations by barbed wire and sentries to prevent stoppage of the work.

IMPORTANT BILLS AWAIT ACTION IN COMING CESSIONS Legislature Starts Second Month Facing Heavy Program, Starting Its second month, the Seventy-Fourth Indiana General Assembly faced a heavy program foi the coming weeks when it convened at 10 a, m. today. A "great majority of work of the session remained and bills introduced from now on stand little chance of passage through the legislative mill, according to leaders. Important measures awaiting action included the budget, State constabulary, “blue Sunday,” blue sky, chiropractic, bus regulation and other administration bills. The blue sky bill was to be balled down fbr third reading in the House today. * Bills before the Senate for sec* ond reading today included the HullMurden bill, abolishing'the power of the State board of health to condemn schoolhouses, and the farmers’ cooperative marketing bill. For Second Reading Southworth, providing death or life imprisonment for bank banditry; bill, amending the motor registration act to require nonresident automobile owners to register; Moorhead, plaoIng busses under regulation of publlo service commission; Shank, prohibiting places of amusement within eighty rods of a State park; English, fixing salaries of deputy clerks, auditor and treasurer of Marion County at not more than $4,000. Southworth, providing automobile license plates shall be manufactured at the State prison and sold at cost, plus 2 cents on each set; Leonard, prohibiting lowering of lake or stream levels by artificial drainage; King, abolishing office of State juvenile probation officer; Dally, establishing municipal court with four judges, to replace. Indianapolis city court. Interest was attached to a measure to be Introduced by Senator Llndley, Kingman, which would divorce the common schools from alleged control by the State universities by ousting the university heads from the State board of education. Gas Tax Increase A group of gasoline tax bills increasing the tax from 2 cents to as high as 4 cents is exciting considerable interest, but it is said the Cann bill, providing for 8-cent tax, one-third going to the counties, is the most likely to pass. Most all major measures are centered In the House. The administration budget bill general fund bill, Kissinger Sunday closing bill, relocation of School for Blind, closed season on quail and highway district bill all are on second or third reading and will see action this ’/reek. It was expected chiropractors would take some action Tuesday to force out the chiropractic bill from committee, where it has rested 'a week. Chiropractors will Introduce a new'i)ill providing for equal representation on the State board of jhealth. Committee action on the measure will be taken tonight. Election Contest Decision In the Senate, the Holmes sterilization bill, the Penrod grade-cross-ing measure, and six bills relating to public utilities awaited aotlon on second or third reading. The joint legislative committee trying the George K. Denton-Ben-•j&mln M. Willoughby election contest over Supreme Court judgeship, will announce a finding on the petition IJled by E. C. Day, Kokomo, alleging Irregularity and malconduct, and declaring Denton should hare 'been elected by %53 votes, at public session Tuesday night. The Steele county unit bill is expected to be introduced in the Housethls week. The measu# yaa defeated in the Senate.
