Questioned apeclflrally. Miller aald te time he wanted to ao In to the cave on Wednesday nlKht he wag prevented from ddlnjr ho. He wag kept out. he Maid, by Cap tain Topmiller and a iterxeant act InK for the owner of the farm on which the cave lx located. Asked about the opposing fac tions. Miller said: "It seemed to me that the local boyg were very anxious to get Col lins out without the help of out siders. I wag told that a party which came from Louisville were kept out at the Insistence of Ger ald. Miller was asked why he came to Cave City and answered that he was assigned to the story. He had, he said, no Interest In the af fair except to get the atory. Tha witness said he had been I proKresg with little timbering nec- waa heavy rock slabg. The task of mlnera and their volunteer helpers Is an engineering feat of conclder able skill and gruelling atrugglea, a race against time with few tools at hand. In half an hour shifts of three, the work goes on every min- ( ute. except for the necessary In-, terruptlons, while sections of cas ing are lowered into place to brace the crumbling walls againat a cave-in. The bottom of the six font square shaft is now constantly saturated with water, nut more boulders are belog encountered so that- the diggers do not sink very deeply into the muck. The first timbers for the shnft were hewed from logs felled at the scene, by men who knew little about mining, but were used to the axe. Men more expert in timber ing shafts soon came, and around the 25 foot level a limestone ledge was encountered which wag seized upon as support for the heavy timbering solving one troublesome problem. Some time tomorrow officials expect to strike the limestone strata then they hope for rapid 'Amazes Medical World By Her Keeuvery. Elizabeth, "Princess fi Rldder," known Incognito to New Yorks aj Mr. Elsie Walter, baa been taxed $10,000 by a Jury there for th carnage dona Mrs. Milly Hutton. of New Rochella, N. Y, by the then ot the affections of her husband. Edward J. Hutton, a wealthy silk manufacturer. The Princess was not In court. It Is reported she had pone back to Europe, where she owns valuable property bequeathed to tar by D. B. M. de Rldder, tamoui art collector. Twenty-three persons were Injured, most of them women and children, when this heavy passenger coach of the 1'aterson, Passaic, Jersey ally and tlouokcn branch of the 1'ubllc Service Corporation of New Jersey yumped from a viaduct twenty-five feet above the West Shore and Erie Railroad tracts, betweon Jersey City and lloboken. By a miracle, none of the passengers were killed. warned by Gerald not to go into the cave on Tuesday night, Just be fore bla last trip. While ha was waiting for a jack. Gerald called him aside, he said, anil told him, "1 know rock and I know caves and It would be dangerous to go in there." "I got the Jack." Miller continu e, "a small one from Cave City and took it back and tried it. Floyd said 1 raised the rock about eight Inches but that little rocks slipped under and wedged his foot. We removed some of the smaller rocks and Kloyd suggested I bring In an acetylene torch nnd chip off some of the bottom ot the largi rock." Asked about reports that fond was found In the passageway, Mil ler answered: "There la food scattered all ..long the passago to about mid way. Also gloves and one blanket. It looks like persons had started In and had lost their nerve. "It was no fun to go In and I am glad I don't have to go In agnin." Describing the cave-In Miller snld he found the passage way closed tip and could hear other stuff fulling from the roof. "At any time were you threaten ed directly?" "I was called aside several times Wednesday night between 6 and 12 o'clock and told It was best for me to stay out. These warnings came from older men. among them local residents whom 1 regarded as my friends. Dr. Kunkhouser al so told me that provincialism was my worst enemy and advised me to try to get in at this time. "Mr. Gerald was preparing to go In. I didn't ask him to let me go In nnd ho did not ask mn to go with him. I hoard him say It was dangerous In the passage and he did not want anyone else to go In and bungle up the Job." Miller explained that the warn ings he received were not from enemlca but from older men of the community whom he believed were bringing him the warning as an act of friendship. He said he did not' know the names of these men. He was asked to see if any of them were in the room. He was unable to recognizo any of them. After his examination was com pleted Miller was requested by the coure to endeavor to ascertain the Identity of the men who had given him warnings so that they nright bo summoned before the bonrd. II. G. Klshbaek. a farmer two miles east of Cave City was the second witness. He said he went to tha cave Tuesday evening and went to Collins and had his hand on the imprisoned man. There was considerable excitement when he reached the cavern, tho witness said. When ho wanted to go In with the rescue party, headed by Johnnie Gerald the lalter warned him 1t was very dangerous nnd said: "You want to consider what you are doing because when you go down there you may not tome out," Kishback said. "Gerald did not insist that I go nlong with the crowd so I waited until I got an opportunity to get In. Collins wns conscious and In his right mind at tho time 1 saw hi in." I.oriSVII.l.K. Ky.. Feb. 10. One of the most complete pictures of the early efforts to release Floyd Collins from the Sand Cave trap, the story of Johnnie Gerald's ettorts to dig him out, was pub lished today In a copyrighted siatement in the Courier jmirnnl. Many of those helping Gerald In the first futile efforts corroborated his statements and l.ee Collins, fa ther of the imprisoned man vigor ously denied rumors once cur rent that there had been feeling betwtM-n Floyd and Gerald. Gerald's story quoted Floyd Col lins that ho had slid down into the tunnel, the same way the res cuers first tried to reach him and tree h;a foot, contradicting earlier erslons that he was climbing out of a huge cavern Into bis present position when he was caught by a rock fall. . The reason for his warning by I state officials to slay away from I the cave. Gerald says, .was his In sistence that ho could go down the I old tunnel and clear It out again ! In an endeavor to roach Collins by (the original method ot rescue, lie had cleared away two such cave 1 ins. he said, with Homer Collins. (Floyd's brother, and was ready to( try again. G. rsld s sto y mentioned only j I briefly Lieutenant Ilurlon ot the j Louisville fire department and Wlllt.im II. Miller, the little Ixul ' villn Courier Journal reporter, who1 worked so hard to loosen the. rock ! on Collins' foot. The narrative j was confined to Oerald'e personal share lu the rescue work. j CAVK CITY, Ky, Feb. 10 The heroes of the Collins rescue, the volunteers who are driving the shall toward his underground pris on today were more than 33 feet down, after five davs of ceaseless essary to protect the diggers from the same fate as Collins. CAVE CITY. Ky., Feb. 10. A depth estimated at more than 38 feet had been readied In the shaft at Sand Cave at 10:15 today. Rescuers continued their efforts to reach the cave prisoner but spectators had largely moved to Cave City where the preliminary sessions of the military court of Inquiry were being conducted. The construction of the home made boom crane is another en gineer from the Louisville gas tings were hammered out at the blacksmith shop of the cave camp and carefully selected there and were felled and hewn Into shape. A gasoline engine hoist and drum was anchored some 40 feet from the shaft and another problem was solved. ' After the first timbers had been placed and three feet or so of the shaft dug out, the question ot deep shnft timbering arose. Albert Marshall, of Danville, Ky., and Kdwarrl Ilrenner, of Cincinnati, arrived and related their experience In the Appalach ian coal fields. N. K. Ford, en gineer rrom the Louisville gas and electric company, formed the third member of the timbering shift, which has been working almost constantly since Friday, refusing to let others less experi enced take their places.

Not one of the two-score children born to Japanese parents In Hawaii since 'ecemuer 1, has made a reserva tion for the retention of his Jap anese citizenship under the new expatriation law which Japan in effect December 1, according to Keiichl Yamasaki, Japanese consul-general for the territory. The law, seeking to abolish dual citizenship if such elimination is desired, provides that all children born to Japanese parents In the United States after December 1, shall be regarded as exclusively American citizens unless parents. within 14 days after birth, ex pressly reserve Japanese citizen ship for the child through the Japanese consulate. - Failure to register Buch reservation automa tically relinquishes any claim which the Jupanese government might have on that child, as in the case of dual citizenship which prevailed previously. Vital Htutistics show that up wards of 40 children have been born to Japanese parents Bince December 1st. Explaining the workings of the new law, Consul-General Yama saki said: "I am personally urging expa triation of those Jupanese who are going to make the United Mr. Loffer Visits j ii. ixiiT was nere iouhv visu-i"' Ing with friends and transacting t States their home In the future business.

They are from Kelly's Koi ne r. and urging parents to take ad vantage of the new law which aids them In effecting expatria tion of their children. "The new law is a measure of the desire of the Japanese govern ment to remove objections raised to the former dual citizenship and further evidence of my govern ment's desire to maintain friendly relations. VI am only asking Americans to exercise tolerance and patience with the Japanese as with other races to the end that the Jupanese may be understood better. I be lieve a better understanding will remove all of tHe prejudice now lodged against my people and 1 am confident that Americans In their hearts mean to be absolute ly fair and just to them." Portia's father was old-fashioned In the days of Shake9peares famous heroine, buy ing and selling were contests of wits. In Venice, hag gling and dickering were the vogue. Along the Rialto, sharp practice was the rule. Every purchase of silk or spices was made at the buyer's risk. One had to be a shrewd judge of values and one's fellows to escape trickery. Portia's father a. merchant was used to the ideas of guess, luck and accident. So much so, indeed, that it seemed natural to him to entrust the choice of his daughter's husband to three closed caskets and a lucky guess ! " ' v - Nowadays, we do not transact business blindly nor leave important decisions to chance. It is not necessary for us to gamble when we buy. Commodi ties are identified for us by trade-marks. Manufactur ers go to the advertising columns to tell us about their products. Merchants describe their merchandise price, quality and service. ! By reading advertisements, we get a knowledge of goods and stores that we can depend on. Adver tising reduces chance, in buying, to a minimum. DO YOU READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS ? HUM PAPER CO.
