LATEST GRAND LIST
 ESTIMATE s9S,OOO,OOO
Revised Forecast Adds $2,00O,OOO to Previous
 Prediction

That the grand list for 1925 will reach a total of S9S,00O,000 was the prediction of members of the board of finance and taxation, who held their first meeting for a study of departmental estimates at the office of Mayor A. M. Paonessa last eve- ming.
 Forecasts of the grand list which seemingly were based upon informa- ton whispered among members of the board prior to the opening of the meeting uniformly predicted the increase of about s4,080,000 over the present list of the city's taxable properties.
 This increase figured on the pres ent tax rate amounts to SS0,000 in increased tax revenue and in view of the many requests for higher ap- propFiations this year, it will be a wSap,5hpe addition 10 the city's cof- V lnfal weeks ago 8 forecast from
 
 gfT}&f list of at least s96,000.Q00, witlEahe possibility of even a greater .tiicrs'Asf. Later information boosted the Estimated assessments by $2.- 100000.

Urges Them To Con- sider Grave And &c., rious Questions Pre- sented By What Hap pened In Paris.
Charges U. s. for s.2A Per Cent of Speculative Preparations" Has Risked Amity of European Na- tiOns.

Washington, Feb. 4.--Without un. dertaking to discuss directly Secre. tary Hughes reply regarding the Paris reparations agreement. Sen ator Hiram Johnson, republican Cahf., one of the irreconcilables, asked the senate today to consider the grave and important questions which have been presented by what happened at Paris.
 T am more than deeply con- cerned with the possibilities that may come from what was done by the United States at Paris" the California senator continued. T recognize the position of the secre- tary of state. neither question it nor criticize 1t. l take 1t that when tho secretary of state says the United States Is neither legally nor morally bound, he expresses his pres ent intention"
 Fears PeriIs Ahead.
 The senator added, however, that administration change, and that he felt someone ought, in the congress of the United States. to render what service he can in avoidance of perils that may lie ahead"
 For five years he said, he had trod the rough road" against for eign entanglements.
 T shall continue" he said. "to travel the rough road of the demand that America live her own life in her own way without entangIements with Europe or European nations"
 Risks Foreign Amity.
 The California senator then de- clared that for IA per cent. Spec ulatiye reparations" America had risked the amity and good will of European nations.
 We have traded amity and good will for perplexity, confusion, i'll will and hostility" he said. That Is what we got at Paris for IA per cent Of something that may never pc paid. That is the price we got for changing America's pol icy, if we did change it as Euro- pean statesmen say we did"
 Questions Hughes Statement
 The statement of Secretary Hughes that the agreement does not bind the United States legally or morally, Senator Johnson said. was wholly at variance with the apparent inten- tion of the signers of the pact, and with the interpretations of the docu- ment by the leading states and press of the word"
 Quoting statements regarding the agreement made by official repre- sentatives of European nations, he continued:
 "They believe in Europe that we are over there again. I do not want to go over there again. I would keep thi country from Euro- pean wars, politics and agreements" ,"
 What actually was done at Paris, Senator Johnson said, was the set- clement of an already liquidated claim of the United States against Germany. To support his conten- ton he read from statement of Winston Churchill that under the Wadsworth agreement this country would have received five million pounds sterling annually under an unchallenged olain, whereas under the Paris agreement it would receive about two and one-half million ster- ling, taking their chances for i'll or good with the rest of the allies.

NEW POSTAL BILL
 DRAWN IN HOUSE Estimated Income From It Is
 Put at 50 Million Dollars CHANGES IN CHARGES
Third Class Rates Would Have Eight Ounce Limit and Two Gent sery- ice Fec Is Provided on Fourth CIass Matter.

Washington, Feb. IA postal pay and rate increase bill. differing in some particulars from the measure passed by the senate and returned to that body. by the house, was reported today by the house postoffice com- mittee. The salary increase provi- sion Is similar to that in the senate bill and to the measure vetoed by President Coolidge, but rate provi- sions depart from increases proposed in the senate bill, They would pro- duce, in the opinion of committee members. enough revenue to cover pay advances.
 Those in charge of the bill esti- mated it would raise s60, 000,000. It would make the salary increases ef- fective January 1. 1925, instead of July 1, 1924, as in the senate bill, and would provide for a commission of three members of the senate and three of the house to study the whole problem.
 Representative Kelly of Pennsyl- vania, member of the post office committee, said the measure would raise s3,290,000 additional revenue from second class rates, as against q loss of S660,000 under the senate bill.
 Third Glass Rates
 Third class rates would have an eight ounce limit with one and one- half cents for two ounces, except for books. catalogues, seeds. plants, etc., where the rate would be one cent for two ounces. MT. Kelly estimated that this section would raise $l8,- 000.000.
 On fourth class mall, a two-cent service fee would be charged on all parcels, to raise $15,o0O,000.
 Parcel Post Fees
 A special expedition charge of 25 cents for parcel post would be pro- vided to raise s3.000,00o. An ex- ception from the two cent service fee would be made on all parcels originating on rural routes.
 Picture souvenir post cards would bear a rate of two cents but letters and ordinary postal card rates would remain the same.

 Cave City, Ky, Feb. "A slide in Sand Cave this morning left Floyd Collins, S5, foot-free for the first time since he was imprisoned Fri day morning when boulder wedg- cd his legs were rescuers were una ble to reach them but Collins was left walled in behind rock which fell from the side of the cave.
 This information was brought to the mouth of the cave by Roy Cook sey, negro, engaged in rescue work.
 The rock barricade probably can be cleared away some time this af- ternoon, Cooksey said.
 Collins called from the other side of the rock slide that his feet were free, but said he was too weak to work his way out, Cooksey declared, Also Talked To Him.
 John r. Collins, Cripple Creek, Colo, miner who volunteered aid, also said that he had talked to the imprisoned man but had been un- able to see him because of rock blocking the passage.
 The rock fell from the side of the cavern, according to Cooksey. who says it was the same disturbance which left Collins feet free, although the cave victim still is caught in the hole. Whether it would be diff cult matter to release him after the newly accumulated debris could be cleared away was a matter of spec ulation,
 Progress made during the night in removing stones, cave ooze and other matter from around Collins body as far down as the calf of his leg and the work of widening and deepening the passageway leading from the en- trance might have been responsible for the slide. it was stated.
 " Size of The Slide.
 uS Sllut WHICH bLA ilAuldt0 IAb- gross Was described by Ewing Ashley who was with the rescue party which discovered the debris, as one huge rock about the size ofa soa D box with an accumulation of earth and small stones. surrounding it.
 Ashley re-entered the cave with iron hooks and rope with which it was hoped to move the rock and clear the passageway. 1T Ashley's information is correct and no unfore- seen difficulty is experienced. Collins may be reached in few hours, it was predicted.
 None Heard Crash.
 The slide occurred some time this morning, but none of the rescuers heard the crash Of falling stone. Three men who left the cave about daylight said the cavern apparently was in the same condition when they were inside.
