BULLETIN.

Cave City, Ky.-The last known
method of determining whether
Floyd Collins still lives in his
prison in Sand Cave failed today,
leaving those in charge of the
rescue work to speculate as to his
probable condition.
For the first time amplifier tests
made across the electric light
wiring leading to Collins this
morning failed completely to re-
cord anything. The last success
full effort was made at midnight,
when sounds, interpreted by the
experiments to indicate that Col
Inns was alive, and breathing at
a rate of IS times a minute were
heard.
S. G. Lane, in charge of the
electric lighting plant at the cave.
gave it as his opinion that the
burning out or removal of the
electric light globe from It's sock
ct had caused failure of the am
plifier.

ed; Second Only to Nine
Miles in 1923.

The year 1924 was the second larg-
est street paving year in the history

now 54.72 miles of paved street in Ke-
nosha, this representing 44.8 per cent
of the total street mileage of 1921
miles.
The paving of the 6.s3 miles cost
$3.50, 1858, of which $321,946.67 is
borne by assessments on property
owners and s62,2O5.6s is the city's por-
ton.
The paving progrsm mapped out for
1926 calls for the construction OF
6.87 miles, which will bring the total
paving mileage for Kenosha to 61.59.
During the three years under the city
manager form of government there
have been paved 22.57 miles of street

paved total of 31.34 miles.

82.04 miles. The sewer program was
carried out at total cost of $ll3,-

tai mileage Of gas service to 1898
miles. There were also 3.21 miles OF
sidewalks, both sides, laid, bringing

Repeal of the flexible provisions of
the tariff act which allows the Presi-
dent to make certain establishments
of rates was proposed in a bill intro
duced in the House yesterday by Rep
reSentative Hull. Democrat, of Ten
neSSee.
The provisions have been admin
istered most unfairly, not to say
fraudulently," Mr.. Hull said in a
statement. 1t allows the President to
increase or decrease existing tariff
duties by a maximum OF so per cent
upon the recommendation of the Tariff
Commission.
President Coolidge has taken advan-
tage of the provision several times,
notably to increase the duty ON wheat
by 80 per cent
Mr.. Hull declared that the provision
also is subject to constitutional ques-
lions and is VIGOROUSLY unavoidable
as a purported piece of flexible ma
chinery."
