Washington, Feb. with the
presentation to Congress today of
the conference report on the Under.
wood Muscle Shoals lease bill. man
ayers of the revised bill in both Sem
ate and House were arranging to call
it up at the earliest opportunity and

Described as fundamentally similar
to the original Underwood bill, the
conference measure. carrying numer-
Gus changes, includes some provi-
sions of the Mckenzie bill passed by
the House to authorize lease of the
property to Henry Ford.
The bill is held by President Cool

BROTHER SAYS
COLLINS LIVES
DOWN IN CAVE
Makes Forbidden Trip Into
Cavern and Returns With
Declaration
TROOPS ARE ON GUARD
Digging Continues on Shaft
Being Sunk in Hope Of
Reaching Man
TROOPS ARE ON GUARD

Cave City, KY, Feb. 7.-(By the A.
PD-The measured tread of Ken
tucky troops beat staccato today
to the frenzied digging of miners
driving new shaft to Sand Cave
where Floyd Collins, entombed, has
been pinioned by u boulder for al
most 200 hours.
Determined that no person shall in
any way interfere with operations,
the guardmeh under Brigadier- Gen
eral DeHardt. last night ordered
Homer Collins, brother of the victim.
and John Darrclds, away from the
cave. Darrelds was the leader Of
one Of the numerous rescue parties
which early in the week made fruit
less efforts to get Collins through
the Cave entrance.
Those men were called to National
Guard headquarters and officers
there told them the mine. now boring
downward, was the last chance to
reach the cavern's prisoner. Their
actions. especially Darrelds' criti-
cism of the means being employed,
made their presence undesirable, be-
cause it slowed the work, officers
explained to them. 1t would be ne
cessary, therefore. to forcibly eject
either man who returned to the cave.
Both agreed not to further inter-
fere.
Slowly the shaft is going down.
Workers said it probably will take
4s hours more digging before the
opening is made. Test drilling was
discontinued after diamond drill
had reached limestone at depth Of
40 feet. DR.. w. B. Funkhouser, geo.
logist, expressed the opinion that
the drill had reached the top rock
of the cave.
Homer Collins. during the night,
made forbidden trip into the cave
few hours before he was called to
military headquarters He found
the light near the squeeze" still
burning, and by turning off all lights
for few mements. said he determin-
ed that the entombed mans life still
glowed.
A truck load of ammunition and
other supplies were en- route to Cave
City from Frankfort by way of
Louisville this morning.
Eleven more guardsmen arrived
last night, ID others were expected
soon. Large crowds are hampcring
the work. Physicians are constantly
on duty at Red Cross tent, prepared
for emergency service and two
trained nurses are waiting to lend
their assistance.

TORTURED BY
BAND, CLAIM
Farmer, Robbed, Tells Story
of Hours of Torture

Plankinton, S. d., Feb. IA story
Of being tortured for three hours
at his home near Stickney, S. d., by
a band of men who robbed him of
$500. was told yesterday by John
Bieler, farmer. Bieler said that the
man, believing that he had more
than $500, placed tourniquets about
his head and waist, drawing them up
tight enough to produce severe pain.
ard threatened to kill him with a
butcher knife which they brandished
before him.
The men called at the farm early
in the evening and asked Bieler for
some water for their car. While
Bieler was getting the water from a
we'll, they slipped sack over his
head and carried him into the house.
The robbers took what money they
could find in his pockets and search
ed the house for more but without
results, then the torture commenced.
Large sticks were used to tighten
the tourniquets, the one over Bic
ler's head being drawn so tightly
that his nose was broken. Bieler
denied having any additional funds
at the farm. Bieler was alone at
the farm. Authorities yesterday we're
attempting to trace the robbers but
had no clew other than the descrip-
tion given by their victim.

Laws Would Become Effec-
tive on April 1, 1925,
Under Proposed Bills

The House Of Representatives this
afternoon api~oved Senate Bills Nos.
6l and 62. the cigarette bills, in COM
mittee of the whole, and the House
accepted the reports. The bills pro-
badly will be up for final passage
Monday.
Both were somewhat amended from
the form in which they passed the
Senate.
The action of the House, taken in
committee Of the whole, was on viva
voce vote. but appeared SO over
whelming in favor of the measures,
that their passage appeared certain
when they come to final vote.
Senate Bill No. 6l which prohi-
bits sale Of cigarettes to miners,
was amended to make the minimum
fine for violation of the law $50 and
the maximum $500, and the Jail pen
atty 90 days. An amendment also
was added making it possible to de-
clare places where cigarettes are
sold to miners nuisance. which
might be closed bt injunction.
Senate Bill No. 62 was amended
with respect to licenses, on motion
of Rep. Twichell, who said that the
tax on an ordinary package of 20 ci-
garettes would be 1-2 cents instead
of cents as provided in the Senate
bill.
No roll call was demanded on the
measures when the report of the
committee Of the whole was given
the House. This was taken as an in
dication of weakness of opposition
to the measures.
The emergency clause was added to
both, making the measures become
effective April 1, 1925. 1t was de-
clared that the state could begin to
collect revenue at that time. A two
thirds vote is required to carry the
emergency.
Big crowds had appeared in the
House galleries for two days, await
ing action on the bills, but when they
were taken up shortly after the
House convened at 1 o'clock this af-
ternoon, comparatively small num-
ber of spectators was on hand.
