been hypnotized by Swami rade-
dandan and taken to India.
Mrs. Parker filed suit for sepa-
ration in 1919. At that time, ac-
cording to his lawyer, DR.. Parker

1876 Workers Killed IN Blast

Explosion Believed Fatal to AL Except
Eight Miners in Shaft That Is

Thirty workmen were killed by an
explosion of fire damp in the Stein
mines last night and 100 others are
missing. Only eight men were rescued
alive.
This morning there appeared to be
little hope of rescuing the entombed
miners. The explosion was very
violent and caused the shafts to the
underground galleries to collapse,
blocking all exits. 1t is feared the
trapped men died almost Immediately

Collins Apparently Sided.

Apparently he was sliding down
this second slant, feet first, when his
foot dislodged the boulder which pins
him, dirt and debris falling on top
of the boulder. He fits into this hole
almost as tightly stopper in a
bottle. 1t is a hole rather than a
crevice.
The rescue shaft was designed to
strike as closely behind Collins as
their calculations could bring it, but
Just whether the San Cave tunnel
winds back the 13 feet from its mouth
to bring it exactly under the shaft
is the problem the engineers admit
they cannot solve. They are fairly
certain that the shaft will not strik e
the tunnel ahead of Collins, placing
them in the predicament of the early
rescue parties who could not pull out
the human stopped without risking
his life.
The chief hope of the engineers Is
that in the honeycomb section which
they have just reached some crevice
or tunnel will be located which will
permit them to work their way be-
hind Collins and extricate him.
Whether his position is in front (to-
ward the cave mouth) or to either
side of the tunnel none of them can
say.
New ID Days Underground.
There is a great possibility that
any minute we may strike a cavern
leading to Collins said H. T. Car
michael "On the other hand, we
may find it necessary to go IS feet.
If we go that far without penetrat-
ing a chanel, we will begin tunneling
in search of Collins. because that is
the maximum estimate of the depth
of his prison chamber. l have been
hoping since Tuesday to strike lime
stone. l can make no definite esti-
mate or statement when Collins will
be extricated, other than that 1t is
estimated to accomplish the work by
Sunday"
At 10 o'clock this morning Collins
had been underground Is days, had
not been fed for eight days, and his
voice was last heard week ago this
morning.
Amplifcation tests across electric
light wires leading down to him had
convinced physicians here that
"breathing" sounds were being trans
mitted by the juggling of the carbon
lamp on Collins chest. Yesterday
these tests failed to record anything,
but physicians and radio experts re-
fused to admit that this would indi-
cate he was dead. They believed only
that the light had burned out or
fallen from it's socket.
Shifts Half Hour Each.
The feature of the rescue effort
which worries the officials most is
that only three men at time can
work in the bottom of the shaft,
while If conditions would permit
scores would be willing to work un-
ceasingly The shifts have been cut

Tunnel Mapping DIMcult.

The shaft starts 13 feet back from
the mouth of Sand Cave. but in their
calculations of the direction, distance
and windings of the tunnel. the engi-
neers were unable to map the tunnel
down as far as Collins because of the
cave-ins which sealed his prison in
that direction.
Looking at Sand Cave from a short
distance. the mouth lies in the bend
of the horseshoe shaped ravine, the
bottom of which slants slightly down
to the cave. The mouth of the shaft
then is slightly higher than the
mouth of the cave.
A steel tape stretched down to the
impossible rock fall in Sand Cave
measured "a feet and the distance be-
yond that to Collins could only be
estimated from the descriptions Of the
early rescue parties.
For perhaps 10 feet one can stand
erect in the mouth of the cave, but
few feet farther on is a perpendic-
ular 10-foot droop. The tunnel then
bends to the right, ais one faces the
mouth of the cave. sloping always
downward and twisting in the man
ner of corkscrew. Then comes a
hairpin turn to the left, still sloping
down. and at the bottom of this a
clockwise loop. At the bottom of
the loop is the first steep slant, and
a few feet farther is second slant
where Collins reposes.

CAVE CITY, Ky. February 12.-The
fate of Floyd Collins. despite the skill
of the States best engineers, and the
valor~of the volunteer diggers, rests
In the hands of a power higher than
theirs, they acknowledged today, when
the rescue shaft reached the lime
stone -honeycomb section of the Sand
Cave death trap.
Failure of the sound amplif1cation
tests yesterday TO record the breath
ing sounds previously heard over
the electric light wires leading down
to Collins has left his condition
whether alive or dead-open to any
body's guess.
The hope which still drives the res
cue workers at top speed is that a
tunnel or cavern leading to Collins
will be found at the bottom of the
shaft within few hours.
Shaft About As Feet.
The official bulletin issued by NJ E.
s. Posey. engineering representative
of Gov. Fields, said that the depth OF
the Sand Cave rescue shaft was about
@o feet" He gave o'clock Saturday
night as the maximum time in which
the shaft would reach the maximum
depth to which it Will be driven.
We appear to be close to the roof
of the cave and have speeded up the
eXcavati ton to the rate of ten feet in
"a hours" Mr.. Posey's statement said
There is great possibility of finding
an opening at any time. Tunneling
will start if Collins has not been un-
covered when the shaft reaches 6s
or 20 feet"
The best engineering skill has fall
ed to determine just how close to
Collins prison the rescue shaft may
