INSURANCE REPORT
Commissioner Durham Finds Con- ditions in Hartford Life Very Un- TortunatC-Asks Court Action.

. Hartford, Feb. 5. --- Insurance Commissioner Howard r. Durham in a report on the Hartford Life In surance Co. says that the situation of the company's business lis un- fortunate, indeed" He recommends that the court be asked for instruc- tons relative 10 the disposition of the safety fund in the woman's di- vision.
 A large majority of its members are in advanced age. On December 31, 1923. out of a total membership of 5000, those over 70 years of age numbered 1888, or 4S per cent, There were 493 or 16 per cent over so and 156, or per cent over S5. Naturally the mortality is heavy. Assessments therefore are reaching a point where members Of average circumstance cannot possibly afford to continue membership. The lapse ratio, caused by failure to pay the inordinatcly high assessments, has been rapidly increasing. and thi1 has further tended 10 increase assess ments. Thus the situation has de- veloped into vicious circle. My recommendation is that instructions be requested from the court relative to the disposition Of the safety fund in the women's division: that the company take steps 10 effect a proper distribution of its stips;Sted premium funds.

Even upon com- paratively warm days it is difficult ventilating system is very poor, it is said. The school is considerably over crowded as it has been necessary to house a large number of the children in pertable school house for six or seven years. There is a strong feeling that the erection of a new school building should be begun at once upon the new plot of land pur- chased by the school board last year On Steele street.
 The following petition has been sent to the school board:
 "Votcd:
 That the Parents and Teachers association of the Lincoln school be- lieve that there is urgent need for q new school building in this district, and
 That the following be named as a committee to act with the officers of the association and the principal of the school with view to seCur- ing such building: w. E. Atwood, Mrs. D. l.. Bartlett, Dr. Gertrude Kinsella, Logan Page, George Taylor, William II. Judd. R. C. Germond, Ernest W. PeIton, Mrs, Robert T. Frisbie, Mrs. Valentine E. Chamber lain, J. C. LoomLs, Mrs. II. H. Pease, George E. Christ, Dr. George w. Dunn, R. E. Pritchard, Ernest N. Humphrey, Dr. George II. Bodley, Dr. M. L. Marsh, Ralph B. Vain wright, Mrs. James E. Thomson"
 The crowded conditions at the Monroe school have been partially relieved by the removal there of a portable two-room building former ly located at the osgood Hill school, The enrolment In the Monroe school is large enough to fill 14 rooms, whereas there are but 10 rooms in the building; the portable school, with two rooms and accommodations for 80 pupils, has somewhat reduced the pressure.

 Great Ambition
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Sand Cave, Cave City, Ky, Feb. 5. Floyd Collins, 35 years old, and a cave explorer since boyhood, found a wonderful cavern but may have lost his life in the attempt. Fore warned by nature of the dangers that existed for those who dared to eX- plore her uncharted chasms, Collins descended into narrow passageway Of Sand Cave last Friday in search of d cavern more beautiful than Mammoth Cave" How far he went no one knows. but "at the end of his rainbow" he found what he sought, he said.
 Jubilant, perhaps over anxious to come out and tell of his discovery Collins was emerging from the cave when, within 125 feet of the mouth, boulder pinioned his left foot. There he lay "A hours, crying for help and trying in vain to wriggle his foot free, before he was found by Jewell Esters, l7. There also lie remained, alive, for at least 135 hours-and probably longer.
 He still was nthe cave today, whether dead or alive was unknown.
 Like his father, Floyd was q hunt CT for caves. There Was a thrill about 1t, Lee Collins, the father said something like Columbus must have felt when he discovered America"
 Once before Floyd lad exper- fenced tho thrill of finding new subterranean coliseum. Several years ago he found Crustal Cave, and then, as now, he was trapped by a rock which fell across his path and held him captive As hours,
 Competition in the Mammoth Cave region was keen. Floyd hoped 10 find natural wonder close to Cave City, the nearest railroad point, more beautiful than either Cryst al Cave or old Mammoth itself. He was 10 share whatever profits might ac- crue.

He was coming out when he was caught, After he was found, half standing, half reclining, in the murky passageway, there began en- deavors to rescue him. His friends many of them experienced cave men, tried every cohceivabie means of saving him. Mans most ingenious devices were valueless-nature sup piled a means of circumyenting their use.
 In the first place, persons going down to Collins were exhausted when they reached him. His body was lying between them and the rock on his foot. and the passage, too narrow for human beings to pass, prevented rescuers reaching his feet. The sandstone formation was treach- erous.
