CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 16. (By
Associated Press.) Floyd Collins is
dead. The long race with dentil
ended suddenly at 2:45 o'clock this
afternoon in defeut for rescue work
ers who hnve been arriving for more
than two weeks In an effort to rescue
the entombed envo explorer,
Collins was trapped by a falling
boulder in Sand Cave at ten o'clock
Thursday morning January 30. His
plight was discovered 24 hours later
and there then began a great fight
against nature to rescue him.
Heart breaking disappointment
these workers encountered repeatedly
as nature dumped one hazard after
another into their path.
Homer Collins, brother of the en
tombed man was nt 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 and there was
little commotion on the surface. An
official statement was. promised wtih
in a few minutes.

It wns reported by a workman that
the roof of the cavern over Collins
gave way, causing them to reach him
several hours before they had expect
ed. The head and right wrist were the
only parts of the body movable, the
remainder of the body being appar
ently covered by loose dirt and rocks.
It was impossible for Hrenner to
touch any part of the body beyond
the head and front of the chest: The
electric light bulb, not burning was
found In front of the body. Hrenner
reported that the pas.snge and urea
surrounding the body was dripping
with moisture.
There were no marks or wounds on
or about the head Dr. lluzlett said.
"How does he feel?" was the first
question asked of Cirenner by the
physicians.
"Cold," answered Brenner.
. "Is there any pulse beat in front of
the ears?"
"No."
"Is there any pulse beat on the
wrist ?"
"No."-

Ground Leased for Maneuvers
Secretary R. H. Boyl Enu
merates Benefits of Event
to Local Business Club Di
rectors Score Bull's Eye.
The annual encampment 01 ",e
national guard, of Oregon, with Us
approximate membership of 3000 men,
to be held in Medford the first hall
of next June, as officially announced
Sunday, means that it will bo the
largest affair ever held sin Medford
and southern Oregon, and prove a big
financial boon not only to this City,
but the entire valley. '
Not only will there be tlie financial
benefit, but Medford will also reap
much in the attendant publicity ac
companying tho encampment, as in
addition to the large membership of
the national guard from nil parts of
the' state, there will be many thou
sands of visitors here from Oregon
and northern California during the
encampment.
It is estimated that at least $200,000
will be spent in the city during these
15 days of June by the soldiers and
visitors, just, prior to the' opening of
the Crater lake and general toifrrst
season, thus rounding a summer of
busy local financial activity.
Robert H. Boyl, secretary of the
Chamber of Commorce, called atten
tion today to the great benefits which
will accrue to Medford because of the
big encampment coming 'here.
Mr. Boyl says among other things,
that this most spectacular achieve
ment of the Medford Chamber of Com
merce should eliminate for all time
to come that expression that is some
times heard on the streets of Medford,
"What has .the chamber of Commerce
ever done?" This movement alone,
and notwithstanding there are more
of nlmost equal importance right on
Its heels brought about through the
efforts of tho local chamber, should
warrant the existence of the chamber
for some time to come, he says.
"It is almost impossible for the In
habitants of the community to realize
at once the importance this affair is
to Medford and southern Oregon,
said Mr. Boyl. "To start with, no one
is asked to give anything. On the
contrary, everything is either bought
or rented. The actual outlay outside
of cash that will be brought into and
turned loose in Medford 'in 15 days'
time is $200,000. i
"There is not a single line of busl
uess in Medford that will not get Its
share of this big expenditure. The
grocery bill alone for these men while
here will be no less than $15,000, and
their meat bill will be equally one-
halt as much. Bakers will have extra
help on hand for two weeks before
they arrive to be prepared, and will
have to keep the extra help for two
weeks after the boys leave to get
caught up with local business.

Governor Pierce Issues Veto
Defi if Legislature Fails to
Give Revenue Bills Says
Solons Frittering and Urges
Some Serious Work.
STATE HOUSE, SALEM. Fell. Id
Governor Walter M. Pierce In a spe
cial message to the legislature tills
morning served notice that it the leg
islature fails to provide the necessary
revenue for appropriations made, he
will veto the bills. "I will not be a
party to increasing the tax burden
upon the owners of homes and farm
property in this state," said the gov
ernor, "when it i.s within your power
to raise the necessary revenue from
sources so easily nvailablo."
The governor pointed out various
sources and urged the enactment of
specific revenue-producing legislation.
Ho urged repeal or the Vi-mlll road
tax and the $30,000 appropriation for
the battleship. Oregon, and n law for
the collection of the unpaid Incomo
taxes under the repealed act which
lie estimated amounted to $1,000,000.
Even with these sources opened up
the governor sees a shortage of about
$500,000. To meet It, he urged again
a tax on cigarettes and motion pic
tures, a gross earnings tax on utilities
and a Hcvlnrunco tax.
An increased collection on gross
insurance premiums was urged, and
the governor asked a 10 per cent con
tribution to the general fund by self
sustaining commissions and activities
which has uiready been agreed upon
by the ways and means committee.
If the session will enact a groBs earn
ings tax on utilities, the governor
agreed to sign the bill appropriating
$100,000 for the public service com
mission. The governor charged the legisla
ture; with having frittered away its
time and urged that the remaining
days be given over to serious work
and co-operation from all quarters.

STATE HOUSE. SALEM, Feb. 10.
William S. Levins, of Bnker was to
dny appointed by Governor Pierco as
prohibition commissioner to succeed
(leorge L. Cleaver. Levins, a demo
crat, has for tho last eight years been
district attorney for linker county",
hut was defeated in the last election.
Ho is credited by Governor Pierce
with having been a vigorous prosecu
tor of tho prohibition law. Levins is
45 years old.
Appointee Defended
In his special message today, which
touched mainly on taxation and rev
enue In general, tlio governor an
nounced the uppolntmcnt of Levens
and urged that tho revenues allowed
the prohibition department from fine
collected under the act bo increased
100 per cent as compared with the
present one-fourth allowance.
On this subject the executlvo said:
George L. Cleaver has been state
prohibition commissioner for almost
two years, lie has been honest, and
fearless In the discharge of his duties.
Llko leaders in any great cause ho
has been unjustly attacked from nil
sides. Ills mistakes have been vaslly
exaggerated. In large measure his
good intentions and sterling qualities
have been overlooked.
"1 ask you to mako available for
this department one-half of nil fines
collected for violations of the prohibi
tion laws. I know that the prohibi
tion laws nre fur better enforced to
day In tho slate of Oregon than they
were two years ago. I know that in a
large measure tlio prohibition depart
ment has brought about this condi
tion. "It Is my earnest desire to make
the closing years of my administra
tion notable for law enforcement. The
accomplishment of this purpose to
any marked degree will be possible
only by having sufficient funds.
Hearty' honest co-operation will bo
given to every sheriff and every dis
trict attorney who desires to enforco
tho law In this state and I will move
unsparingly against officials' who ure
derelict In their duty."
The appointment of Levins wan in
accordance with the recommendation
of .Senator Kddy, who is a member of
tho committee Investigating Cleaver.
It was also satisfactory to Senator
Hare, another member o the com
mittee. In Its findings this commltteo rec
ommended the removal of Cleaver,
and Senator Kddy was particularly
anxious that the appointment of his
successor be made early this week In
order that tho atmosphere might be
cleared up as ' to pending legislation
strengthening tho state prohibition
department.

STATE HOUSE, -SALEM, Fob. 10,
As the legislature opened the final
week of Its forty day session today It
faced a mountnln of work, and some
of tho leaders believed that all tho
business In sight could not be de
spatched before Saturday night nnd
that sessions might huve to be contin

The state's financial problem, with
a difference of $800,000 to $1,000,000,
between tho total of Items upproved
by tho ways and means committee
and available revenues, was one of
tho outstanding matters.
Homo leaders favored nslclng the
attorney guneral whether the legis
lature hail authority to go over tho
head of tho state tax commission and
levy a tax of about one mill in addi
tion to tho levy made by tho commis
sion in December. This would bring
tho levy up to about 2.9 mills, near
tho mark where It has been for tho
last six or seven years, and would
produce approximately $1,000,000
above what the December levy alone
would produce.
Tho Mills post-primary convention
