CAVE CITYKy., Feb. 13,
(By - The ; Associated Press.)-
Floyd Collins has survived his
two weeks Imprisonment in a nat
ural trap in Sand Cave, Brigadier
General H H. Denhardt in com
xnand of Sand'' Cave announced
after an .executive session of the
' . '
military court of inquiry this af
ternoon
The announcement "was based
upon statements made by witness
es before the court that they had
i WJZk entered the main passage to the
cave mis morning
It was the first indication in
two days that the victim was alive
and came on top of a discouraging
report from those digging a shaft
Coward the cave that a natural
tunnel found at -the i 55foo.leTel
or the shaft which was expected
to lead to the early extrication of
Collins was a "blind passage."
: Congh Is Heard
Ed Brenner, a miner of Cincin
natl, and A. Blevins of Lonise-
Tille. testified that they heard
Collins breathe when they went
into the natural passage, of the
cave this morning for soundings
from the rescue shaft.
Brenner and -Blevins had gone
into the cavern five hours pre
viously with Andy Bisig and John
SchJckle of Louisevllle who had
reported hearing Collins cough
twice. '
At the conclusion of the execu
tive session, General ; Denhardt
called newspaper men together
and had the court stenographer
read a transcript of the miners
testimony.
Passage Entered
Brenner and Blevins reported
fthat they had penetrated the nat-
rurai passage to me suae wnicn
st week blocked the way just
ahead of the trapped explorer.
"I heard Collins "give one long
deep gasp like a groan," Brenner
said. "It was not loud." .
. " 'Floyd! Floyd! Floyd! I yell
ed but got no answer.
"Hold out; we're coming, " he
said he shouted ,and then proceed
ed with the soundings according
to prearranged signals.
Brenner estimated he was with
in 10 feet of Covins when he
heard the sound. The soundings
for the shaft itself indicated as
near as he, could guess, "that the
workings were between 10 "and 15
feet from where he war stationed.
He could not say whether the,
shaft was In a direct line .with the
cave passage or to one side. Ever
since work on the shaft was be
gun a week ago today on the side
of the hill overhanging Sand Cave,
those in charge had hoped to find
some crevice, some fissure,
through which they could pene
trate to the main passageway, and
j-ihus speed up the work.

STAPLES LAUNCHES AN
ATTACK ON ZIMMERMAN
Yamhill Senator Opposed ' in
Appeal for Retention of
Law in' State
After a debate which was fea
tured by an unwarranted and un
just attack on- Senator Zimmer
man, of Yamhill county, by Sena
tor Staples, ; of . Multnomah, the
senate yesterday adopted resolu
tion . No.1 5, aimed . to abolish in
come and inheritance taxes from
the state for a period of 15 years.
The measure was passed by a vote
of 16 to 14. The' measure will be
presented to the people of Oregon
at the next general election, and
will be acted on, either by rejec
tion or acceptance.
' In 'a speech In which he scored
the measure, as an instrument of
big business, Senator Zimmerman
stated that the large Industries
did not come to Oregon before the
income tax was instituted, and
there was na guarantee that they
would do so now. "We should
not allow ourselves to be hood
wiqked. 'All you senator are ask
ing 'What is the matter with Ore
gon ? I can tell ' you one thing
that is the matter with it. Here
we . have the s greatest potential
electrical supply- In the whole of
the United States. Yet a company
in Albany is paying $30 for elec
tricity, -when the same service Is
given In Tacoma for $7.
"In Portland the rate Is even
higher than In Albany. That Is
one thing that is"the matter with
-Aresn.- 7 vr er nave our trusts ana
combines that are kndlklng the
general public' and crippling the
Industries. :
'And I tell you, senators, I will
not: stand for It. I might be
quelched at the next election, but
I; do not care" a' -snap whether I
am in public or private life, and
I want to say that I will never
permit t this death grip to con
tlnue to strangle the common peo
ple., I tell you, the farmers of
this state will rise in rebellion
against having to pay 90 percent
of the taxes of Oregon."
j Senator Staples then took the
floor, and remarked taat "we have
heard that same speech of Sena
tor Zimmerman's so many times
we are getting tired of it. He
probably practiced it in the orch
ard, and then before the looking
glass, and then he ran for the sen
ate on it. He says that he does
not care whether he is elected to
the legislature again or not. If he
is, there will probably be a great
many people from Yamhill county
sent over here to the home of the
feeble minded."
The senate became turbulent.
and the chair recognized Senator
