Cupiier. engineer endeavoring to put over the drainage plan, "There is little doubt," utile 1 Cupper today, "IT the plan were carried out to control the flowl waters and keep Mill creek down to a normal level, even during the highest water periods, that the flood difficulties In Kast Salem would be solved. Of course each taxpayer has to meet his own trouble and decide them, hut It teems to me the comparatively mall assessment Miat would be made against various lots where opposition has developed, would be repaid many times over each year In relieving the flooded conditions and assuring many people that water would no longer flood their basements in middle of the rainy season "When the water getn to a cer tain point In Mill creek It satu rates the gravelly soil and spreads OTcr a wide area, causing the troubles complained of nearly ev ery year. Consummation of the drainage plan should do awav with thiwe difficulties." The county court, which yester day was to have heard the final plea in connection with the drain age district plan, continued the hearing until March 4 as state of ficials were not ready to report.

The movement took place Just beyond that part of the cavern which had been timbered by res cuer.. The first three explorations by the miners required about one hour each. Considerably more time elapsed during the fourth visit, however, and the alarm of those on the sur face increased each minute until the first man's light appeared In the cavity downward from the ent rance. No one among those In charge of the work at Sand cave waa able to sugeet where the nearest min ing machinery might be located. Major Cherry did not make known his deetlnntlon when he hurriedly drove awny for more equipment. Preliminary plans for sinking the shaft, evolved in consulta tion with coal miners who arrived from Muhlenhurp; county during the night and who made the four early morning; trips, called for a mine from the top of the hill at a position not far distant from where Collins Is thought to be plnnol. 50 Foot Shaft It was estimated the shaft would be from fifty to 75 feet deep be fore any of the caverns beneath were tapped. Whither the Doi- tlon chosen would strike Sand cave waa a matter of speculation. If It does not. then a tunnel from the depth where the cave Is believed to lie will be undertaken. Funkhousor and the miners, aft a long consultation were con vinced of the hopelessness of an at- empt to continue rescue work through the natural cave from the outside. It Is Impossible to move the solid rock uplifted to the roof. they declared. Danger To Collins . Tho danger to Collins In mining downward from the hill top Ilea In the vlbratl.m entailed In such work. Three alldca and CAve-tn within tho cave already have oc curred from unexplnlned reasons and !he constant Jarring and pound ing necessary In sinking the jhaft undoubtedly will drop rock and earth In his vicinity, if not direct-1 iy upon him. ! General Denhnrdt. Professor Funkhoiisr and the coal mineral virtually decided upon the plan to go after Collins from above after the first report that the floor was rising. Thero was constant dan ger that anyone within the pas sageway leading to Collins would find himself wedged and slowly crushed where he lay. Hubsequent reports on the uplift convinced the rescuers that their hope lay In the new plan and the cave exploration was abandoned. WW 1 illif i James R.

MURDER OF LITTLE GIRLS IS MYSTERY (Continued from Page One) when the Martin girls first were reported miesing waa given tu Lliem by a neighbor who said she bad eeen the sisters leaving a school playground in a coupe. Child Admits Murders. While the grandmother of the girls, Mrs. Carrie Lovelace, wis being taken to the spot where their bodies lay, to identify them by their clothing; another little gt.-i, younger than either of the slain, faced Superior Judge Gates in an other part of the city and repeats 1 a sensational story Involving he in the alleged murder of two in fants and an adult and attem;il.i to murder ueevral other personj. She was seven-year-old Alea Thompson, brought before thu judge for Investigation as to her sanity as the result of her "Con fession'' to police last Monday that she bad fed ground glass to her twin sisters in Dauphin, Manitoba, two years ago, poisoned a woman with ant paste here lat year, and had attempted in recent weeks to poison the members of the family with which she boarded by putting sulphric acid from a radio battery in their coffee. Beside Judge Gates, representa tive of the district attorney, alien. Ists and Mrs. alre Thompson, Alas' mother, all heard the story and failed to trip Item p in her recital of the alleged poisonings. Authorities Bewildered. Mre. Thompson admitted she was bewildered by the girl's de tailed explanation of her allegei crimes and her firm adherence to her original story. "It's all true, mama," said the child. "I did it because I wau.ed to see them die." In the case of the twins, M.3. Thompson, she remembered that their sickness was a puzzle to her and that "parts of their stuma;iiH seemed to be coming away on the inside." Mrs. Jess Piatt, with whom Alsa boarded, believes her "confession ' and alleges the girl tried to poison her too. Aiwa waa to face Judge Gates again today, this time on a formal charge of lunacy preferred by Mrr. Piatt.
