tion Of the House, as expressed in

noon, indicates that attempts to ma
terially change the program as out
lined in that body will not succeed.
The road building plan for North
Dakota, after 1926 when it is pro-
vided by the government that FEEDER
al Aid must be met by an exclusive
state highway fund, is as follows:
Division of motor vehicle tax
equally between counties and state

Levying of additional one-cent gas

vision yet to be anticipated.
No bond issues or tax levies fol
state road building plans.
Effective Next Year
The proposed program, effective
January 1, 1926 under the House bill
will result in smaller amount OF
Federal Aid road work being done ir
the state than at present, according
to members Of the House Highways
Committee. The division and appli-

Chicago, Feb. 16.-(By the A. P.)-
When Horace Love, torn by machine
gun bullets, was waiting for death
in No Mans Land, a dog saved his
life. Yesterday he saved that dog.
Love, now a student at Northwest
University, was severely wounded at
Argonne, when the dog, Boliver, of
the German Red Cross, found him,
went back to surgeons and brought
them to Love. Later American
forces captured the position and
when Love returned to this country
he brought Boiiver. About a month
ago, Love, with another student, lost
Boliver while exploring the desolate
regions Of Skokie. For days they
searched in vain. Meanwhile reports
were brought in by motorists that q

Cave City, Kentucky, February 16.
Progress made during the night
revealed this morning that Il lateral
from the main shaft was wound
around and appeared beyond the
dangerous rock strata which caused
numerous slides and has reached the
roof of an avenue in which the en-
tombed man is believed to lie.
Sand instead of limestone and
heavy rock was encountered after
midnight and the work progressed
with increased speed. The tunnel
was pushed nearly six feet after
midnight, it was stated.
Collins is believed held captive at
a depth of 63 feet. The lateral
which is now some Is feet long has
reached the so foot level and no more
dangerous or heavy boulders are
expected. =
1t is planned to tap the cave ave-
nue. through the roof and extend the
lateral into the natural passageway.
This avenue may be filled with rock
debris, but presents no serious. ex-
cavation problem, rescuers believe.
The estimated distance. to. Collins
depends on the route followed by the
avenue. His place of of.'imprisonment
is not far distant from where the
miners are now working, but they
expect to follow the passage way al
though it may offer a somewhat
langer channel to the prison.
Is Optimistic
H. T. Carmichael, director of the
rescue work, is more optimistic to-
day than during the night, when
several falls of minor character oc-
Cured in the lateral. One of these
falls hit him on the head as he was
directing the work. The fall, how
ever, contained no rock and Car
michael was not injured.

One of the principal witnesses be-

This was the program for Will

sci began their closing plea for his
release with the opening Of third
day of the hearing of his motion
for bail.
All witnesses have been heard,
counsel for both sides announced
today and there remains now only
the legal tilt between the opposing
attorneys.
William S. Stewart, chief of
Shepherds counsel ,/has not changed

his argument for Shepherds release
on the contentious that the major
ity OF the states witnesses against

past; and that the indictment
against Shepherd is faulty in that
IL Illegally defines typhoid germs as
poison and that Shepherd is dan
gerously i'll with diabeteS--a dis
ease which, Stewart will hold, may
cause his death II he is confined
in Jail.
And in answer to this, States
Attorney Robert E. Grove will hold
up the indictment with its imposing
array of twenty-five counts in
which it charges Shepherd in "A
score OF different ways with hav-
ing administered typhoid fever germs
to his foster son bringing about
his death. The burden Of proof, be-
cause of the nature of the hearing,
Grove will insist, was on the de-
fense and he will hold that the de-
fense, in its questioning of the
State witnesses, the only ones it was
allowed to call. has failed to bring
out any reasonable cause for re-
lief that the indictment was not
justified
Granting that the Indictment was
logical outcome Of the evidence.
Grove will maintain, the charge
makes this a capital case for which
Illinois precedent is against bail.
Two hours before scheduled court
time today, hundreds of persons
were milling about in the narrow
streets outside the criminal court
building hoping to be among the
comparatively few who can gain
admission to the hearings. Two
special squads of bailiffs and ad-
ditional mounted traffic police were
on duty to preserve order.
