DRILL DOWN HALF WAY TO COLLINS CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 7—Deadly dull routine gripped Sand Cave today. Gone were the chances for individual glory which had sustained many thru sleepless days and nights of toll in lee, damp muck. The thrill of risk virtually had been eliminated; the newness was wearing off—and all that remained was the weary round of drilling, digging, digging, while day turns into night and night gives way to another day. Frayed nerves, too, were beginning to snap. Commands were barked in sharper voice. Hands twitched as they nervously lighted countless cigarettes. For there is relief only for the workers—those in command have had hardly an hour's sleep since the state assumed charge of the rescue efforts. The loss of contact with Floyd Collins, maintained in the earlier days of the rescue attempts, also proved a depressing influence. Digging in those barren hills for a man buried for eight days, 55 feet below the surface of the ground, a man whom you have never seen and whose existence, as the hours wear on, you almost begin to doubt, has a most telling effect. A laggard here is replaced with a fresh recruit. Methods of operations are changed to expedite the work. Thru the night, the "life or death" shaft thru which Collins is to be brought out was dropped nine feet to a depth of 25 feet, almost the half way mark. Beside it, the diamond drill had cut out a cylinder 46 feet long. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7—To aid in the heroic efforts to rescue Floyd Collins, trapped underground at Cave City, Ky., national 24 Hours More Before Rescue CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 7—Another 84 hours of rescue work before diggers will reach the crevices which form Floyd Collins' underground prison was predicted today by H. T. Carmichael, superintendent of the Kentueky Rock Co. and general supervisor of operations at the Sand Cave. The new estimate, based on analysis of material brought out by a diamond drill which has penetrated 46 feet and the present progress of the rock, would place the actual rescue time at some time Tuesday. HEADS MAY FALL IN AIR SQUABBLE (Continued from Page One) administered today by Secy. of War Weeks. It came in the shape of a formal statement by Weeks touching on the present controversy in which he pointed out that the war department's policies since the war have been directed by the officers who won renown in the world ar. Referring to magazine articles written by Gen. Mitchell concerning the tests, Capt. Johnson, the man in charge of the experiments, declared Mitchell's statements were "absolutely incorrect." Johnson took the serious charges made by Mitchell and denied each one of them in turn and then countered with charges that the army filers were "insubordinate." The tests, Johnson said, were conducted by the navy department under circumstances which it was believed would bring about the best results. Johnson finally admitted, however, that battleships would be sunk by airplanes operating from shore bases. NOME HOLDS OWN AGAINST DISEASE NOME, Alaska, Feb. 7. — The far northern isolated city is holding its own in a fight against diphtheria.

The tests, Johnson said, were conducted by the navy department under circumstances which it was believed would bring about the best results. Johnson finally admitted, however, that battleships would be sunk by airplanes operating from shore bases. "The army's Martin bombers took off from the base without orders, before instructions were issued by me to do so," Johnson said. Johnson vigorously defended his right to tell the army officers when to "take off" but refused to submit the rule giving him the authority. "You didn't cross-examine Gen. Mitchell here." Johnson said. "I'm making a statement here and you may accept it or not. I'm not under oath." Johnson was placed under oath. In explaining why he did not wish the army aviators to leave until they received orders from him, Johnson said: "I was sollicitous that they would not run out of gas so I told them not to leave until they received orders from me." Johnson continually charged that the army aviators "failed to play ball" during the bombing tests, referring to their alleged failure to cooperate with the navy filers. SEEK STRANGER IN POISON MYSTERY COLUMBUS, Feb. 7—Information indicating that some "outside"—a person not connected with the College of Pharmacy—was seen in the dispensary on the Ohio State university campus a short time before one of the pharmacy students, in filling prescriptions for colds, issued capsules strychnine, was being followed up today by police officials who are probing the mysterious deaths of two students and serious illness of at least three others, all attributed to strychnine poisoning.

Porter is chairman, left Geneva this afternoon for Paris en route to the United States. The Holland delegate, Loudon, said: "No international conference can succeed if all parties are unwilling to make mutual concessions. If one country attempts to impose its viewpoint on others by threats, a rupture is inevitable." Everybody here made concessions to the United States, but the United States is not willing to concede anything." Lord Cecil, Great Britain, praised America's idealism, but regretted that the American delegation was "unwilling to go to the bottom of the question." The French colonial minister, Deladir, predicted successful outcome of the conference despite America's withdrawal.
