Work Recalls Experts
From Bureau of Mines
Sent to Aid of Collins

The three mining rescue experts
OF the Bureau OF Mines sent by
Secretary Of the Interior Work, to
Cave City, KY, to assist in the
rescue of Floyd Collins. pinioned
in Sand Cave, were ordered today
to return to their posts at Vim
cennes, Ind.
This action was taken following
the receipt Of a telegram from G.
A. Herbert, one of the Government
experts at Cave City. announcing
that the rescue work was pro-
crossing In such way that there
was little the Bureau Of Mines
representatives could do. Her
bert's telegram said:
There is little the Bureau of
Mines can do here except in an
advisory capacity. The Kentucky
Rock Asphalt Co., has supplied all
necessary equipment and COM
petent men from their quarry,
thirty miles distant and the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad Is fur
fiishing it's section men for COM
mon labor. The chief mine in
spector and two deputies are here,
as well as a number of competent
mining men. The work of sinking
the sixty foot shaft to the sup
posed location of Collins Is pro-
crossing well as could be expected
considering the broken and dan
gerous condition of the ground.

TO Be OPENED

Chesapeake and Ohio operat-

Last Three Years

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Feb IT,
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
one of the oldest waterways in the
country, between Cumberland and
Washington, was operated at q
great financial loss in the last three
years. according to statement
filed here in the circuit court by
the two remaining trustees, George
Al. Colston and Herbert r. Preston.
The canal, which was damaged by
three floods in 1924. can be put into
condition for operation without
considerable expense Il il stated
This, it recently announced. will
be done and the waterway resume
operation in the spring.
The report says the revenues Of
the canal for 1922 were reduced
by the strike in the coal regions,
that in 1928 by dullness in the coal
business, while in 1924 the floods
practically closed the waterway.
The statement reports for 1922 q
balance OF $6,564.84, earnings OF
$25, 679.59, and operating expenses
amounting to $50, 1877 As, showing
an operating loss of $94, 177.87. The
earnings for 1923 were 6O,6O4.OS.
the operating expenses $1S2, 372.23,

deficit of $71,76S.15. Earnings in

II submit that 1t is unwise and
unjust to subject such men to
supercilious criticism. Actually
and necessarily, they know about
the activities of the air service on

credible that these officers. based

Tenants Association
Plans Mass Meeting
On Rent Situation

A mass meeting to protest against
rental conditions in the District
and to take steps leading to Con.
gressional action in behalf Of the
Washington tenants will be held
tonight at the Central High School
Auditorium, under the auspices OF
the West End Tenants Association.
The meeting will be addressed by
Doctor Charles F.. Gilman, presi.
dent of the United States division
of the World Vigilance, one Of the
leaders of the fight against high
rents in New York city, and by
Doctor w. f. Philes. o. A. Reed
and other Washington citizens.
Among the proposals which lead
ers of the Tenants Association hope
to have endorsed at the meeting
will be continuance of the Rent
Commission. to urge Congress TO
pass legislation whereunder all real
estate rental profits over 8 per
cent will be turned over to. the
Government as income tax. and to
create legislation authorizing the
Government to issue home build
ing currency.
Under the home building currency
plan, the leaders assert; it would
be possible for every citizen to
own $4,000 home, free and
clear of debt, by paying $92.50 per
month for ten years or $5205 a
month for twenty years.
The committee, which has ar
ranged the mass meeting, is COM
posed of Doctor Philes, Mrs. Mar

Diamond Drill Shows
Formation of Earth to
Favor Collins Rescue

CAVE CITY, KY, Feb. t.
Nothing has been found thus far
and there is nothing in the forma-
ton Of the earth or rocks in this
vicinity which, from a. geological
standpoint, is unfavorable to the
rescue of Floyd Collins"
This was the scientific summary
Of Collins rescue chances given to
the International News Service to-
day by w. d. Funkhouser, geolog-
list Of the University of Kentucky,
who was sent here on orders of
the governor to lend his aid and
knowledge of this cavernous coun-
try which he has often explored. TO
the rescue efforts.
The diamond drill; Doctor Funk
houser said, has brought up only
the most optimistic reports. The
little cylinder Of rock, stone and
earth which it cuts out near the
life or death" shaft, thus far, has
shown only sand stone which Funk
houser says can be cut like cheese
with the acid drills which now are
being used. No solid rock-the
bugaboo Of the present operations
has been encountered. At the forty.
six foot level, solid sandstone was
struck.
The main value of the drill, Funk
houser said, was to give warning OF
an underlying cavern into which
workers in the shaft might suddenly
be plunged should they without
warning dig too close to its roof.
Nothing like this has been found
thus far.
Funkhouser admits, however, that
1t is difficult to forecast with any
degree of accuracy just what the
nature of underlying ground will
be. This entire region. he explained,
was formed by the gradual settling
of the earth.
Once, according to Funkhouser,
the region probably was mountain
Gus, or at least hilly. Then with
the passing of the ages, and shifting
Of the earth's crust. parts of the
virgin rocks and cliffs were broken
off and tumbled into abysses formed
at points where. the earth's crust
had settled faster than at other
points.
Thus the rocks forming the roof
of Collins prison are no longer in
their natural positions and surface
appearances do not have the geologi-
cal significance that they would
have in other parts of the country.
{. This entire region, Funkhouser
believes, is honeycombed with cav.
erns and it is perfectly possible
that the vaulted room which Col
Inns said lay just beyond the point
where he is pinioned, may, if at
actually exists. have an opening In
the famous Mammoth cave, the
