(Associated Press Leased Wire.) CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 16. Floyd Collins was reached, found dead at 2:45 this afternoon, it was officially announced after rescuers had penetrated into what they believed was the original Sand Cave cavern where Collins was caught. No medi cal examination was made as it was impossible for a physician to reach th victim. H. T. Carmichael was the first man to go to Collins. He said that apparently he was dead. The announcement of the finding of Collins was made by Dr. W. D. Funkhouser, geologist of the University of Kentucky. Preparations were made immediately for Major Moses and Captain Francis, medical officers of the 149th infantry Bowling Careen and Dr. William Hazlett, Mr. Carmichael and M. E. S. Posey, executive secretary of the state highway department, personal representative of Gov ernor William J. Fields, were to .accompany the physicians to Collins. Homer Collins, brother of the entombed man was at the mouth of the shaft. He had been there the greater part of the day. Guards stood about the mouth of the shaft with bayonets fixed, and there was little commotion on the surface. An of ficial statement was promised within a few minutes. It was reported by the workman that the rodf of the cavern over Collins gave way, causing them to reach him several hours before they had expected. No estimate was given as to how soon Collins could be extricated from the natural rock vise which trapped him Jan uary 30. When the miners crashed through into the passage leading to Collins, H. T. Carmichael, rescue director, went down the shaft into the cave, where he said he saw Collins lying appar ently dead. He returned to the surface and announced the end of the struggle. Homer Collins, who had made heroic efforts to save his brother Floyd, bore up well when Dr. Funkhouser made the first announcement. "I have never really hoped to see Floyd alive after the first slide in Sand Cave, Homer said to newsDaoermen. At 3:40 p. m. no oniciai report had been made, however. saying Collins was dead.

LEGISLATURE: ,a FACES A FULL OF WORK Leaders Believe an Extra Week Will Be Neces sary to Complete. MANY BILLS ARE UP Forty-Five House Bills and 26 Senate Bills on House Calendar for Third Reading. (Aaoeiited Prm Uued Wire.) STATEHOUSE. Salem. Oregon. Feb. 1G. As the legislature open- ea tne iinal week of Its forty day session today, it faced a moun tain of work, and some of the leaders believed that all the busi ness In sight could not be des patched before Saturday night and that sessions might have to be continued into next week. The state's financial problem. with a difference of SH00.0UO to $1,000,000. between the total nt items approved by the ways and means committee available reve nues was one of the outsanding masters. Some leaders favored ask ing the attorney-general, whether ine legislature had authority to go over the head of the state tax I Conimlss on and lew a h - about one mill In addition to the levy made by the commission In December. This would bring the levy up to about 2.9 mills, near the mark where it has been for the last six or seven years, and would produce approximately Jl, 000,000 above what the December levy alone would produce. The Mills post-primary conven tion bill is In the senate, and awaiting the fate of that bill is the pre-prlmary convention hill. The fishing code measure over which the house debated for parts of two days, Is yet to be acted on In the st-nato. The house still has the fish commission bill to pass on. This is the measure taking appointment of that com mission from the governor and giving It to the board of control.
