still a prisoner in a cave near here
today, where his foot was caught be-
tween falling rocks Friday, while he
was exploring the case. All efforts
to rescue him from the narrow pas-
sage 300 feet from the entrance of
the cave have been unsuccessful.
More than 100 workmen continued
their rescue work today. In the
meantime, Collins’ strength is slow-
ly ebbing away.
Cave City, Ky., Feb. 3.—(United
Press)—Dawn found i
work at the dim recess of
hours they would free Floyd Collins,
who has been imprisoned beneath a
boulder and in peril of his life fit-
four days.
Despite his suffering and exhaus-
tion, Collins actually slept a few
hours during the night, comforted
by the presence of a friemi who
braved the dangers of. falling shelf
rock and rising waters to be with
him.
John Geralds, of Cave City, spent
part of the night with the under-
ground prisoner and crawled from
the cave at midnight with word that
he thought Collins’ foot could be ex-
tricated early today.

ALASWEP I c
RACE AGAINST
DEATHJS OVER,
Nome, Alaska, Feb. 3.—Alaska’s
epic race with death is over, but the
result remains in doubt.
Out of a whirling, blinding bliz-
zard, weary dogs, whipped on by a
stout-hearted toiling giant of a man,
Gunnar Kasson, plunged into Nome
Monday with the precious serum
needed to combat an epidemic of
diphtheria. But the serum was
frozen.
Until Dr. Curtis Welch, Nome’s
lone physician, tests the efficacy of
some of the serum which be has
thawed out, it will not be known
whether the soul-stirring race over
the snows Anchorage has been in
vain.
Across 65^ miles of frozen trails,
dog teams, driven by the Northland’s
strongest, have braved difficult
weather conditions and broken aft
records to get the serum here as soon
as possible.
For five and one-half days along
the trails from the last point reached
by the railroad, relays of men and
dogs toiled night and day to get 300,-
000 units of anti-toxin- here before
more inhabitants should succumb.
These men, champion drivers of
Alaska, gawe every ounce of their
strength and drove their dogs merci-
lessly, one taking up the race as an-
other tired, at pre-arranged posts.
Gunnar Kasson, last of the stout-
hearted lot, missed his relay in a
blizzard and came on into Nome, his
great strength taxed to the limit.
And then the serum he and the oth-
ers had fought to bring was frozen
and temporary useless.

formation from Capitol circles.
Another investigation of local
scope may be brought to a head dur-
ing the week by the House eleemosy-
nay and reformatory committee un-
der the leadership of Roy Daniels of
Wichita Falls, appointed leader of
the committee to investigate living
conditions at the Confederate home
here.
Several bills affecting State high-
ways and automobile traffic were
near the top of the House’s weekly
calendar. Two measures designed to
place the tax burden upbu the mile-,
age basis instead of tonnage are to
be acted upon. Both measures wtfre
by Representatives Dale and Donnell
and would set the maxirnqm ami
minimum auto license tax at $10 and
$4 respectively and increase the gas-
oline sales tax from one cent to two
and a half cents per gallon.
In the senate, tick eradication
presented an outstanding question
for settlement. Disagreement over
the Parr bill and the Bowers bill
was slated to produce nec^ic debates
early in the week. The Parr bill
came out of committee with a favor-
able report following amendments by
the senate committee on stock and
stock raising, while the Bowers bill
reported unfavorably by a majority
committee report, will go before the
senate with a minority report of its
author.
Anothe rbill of state-wide import-
ance slated for early consideration
in the senate was the Parr bill re-
lating to state rangers. Under pro-
visions of the Parr bill, the rangers
would be held in Travis county sub-
ject to call of county officers and
