The republic Of Panama is officially
in mourning President Porras has or
dered the flag displayed at half-mast
on all public buildings for one month
because Costa Rica gets the disputed
territory Of Coto. Panama will not
seek by force TO prevent its nelghbor
from occupying the district because
the United States last week told her
that the terms of the White award
must be accepted and that warfare
between Panama and Costa RIGA
would not be permitted. Porras then
had no other course than to yield,
though his political foes probably will
take advantage of his plight and at
tempt to GUST him from office, 1t Is
said they are trying to organize a
revolution, and this may give some oc-
cupation TO the battalion Of American
marines that was sent down to the
isthmus ostensibly to protect American
property and lives If the Panamans
did not give in.

Japan has formally accepted the in
vitatOn to the Washington conference
and its embassy is obtaining accom-
modatiOns for a delegation of about
eighty persons. A large residence, an
office building and a section of one Of
the hotels have been rented. Since
the meeting Of the Japanese diet prob
ably will keep Premier Hara at home
the Japanese delegation is likely to be
headed by either Foreign Secretary
Uchida or Viscount Chinda In its
note Of acceptance the Japanese gov
eminent expressed the hope that the
agenda of the conference on Far East
ern affairs would be arranged prior to
the meeting in accordance with its
suggestion that matters concerning
only few nations, or which are ac-
complished facts, be not brought into
the discussion. SO far nobody has
shown any intention Of supporting this
proposition of the Japanese, which, of
course is put forward solely In be-
half of their own selfish interests
They do not wish to he asked about
Shantung, or zap or Manchuria.
Great Britain also accepted the inyl-
tation to the conference last week in
a graceful note that contained no re-
strictlons or qualifications. The rep
resentatives of the republic of South
China are still asking recognition in
Washington and bid to the meeting
They assert that the people of South
China have set up a government of
their own that owes no allegiance to
the Picking government. and that they
constitute full half of the popula-
tion of China.

which the house has passed. Among
the bills passed at the closing session
were the agricultural credits measure
the shipping board deficiency bill Of
S4S, 500,000 with its amendment car
rying 100000 for expenses Of the dis
armament conference, and the meas
ure extending the dye embargo until
January 1.
Chief interest In the senate centered
about the anti-beer bill, which was at
tackled at length by Senators Reed and
Stanley. The dry leaders found by
test votes that the measure could not
be carried, so they allowed 1t to be
thrown into the discard. They failed
even in their effort to have it made
the unfinished business when the
senate reconvenes. The more fanat-
zeal of the prohibition leaders are to
be blamed for the failure Of this bill,
for they rejected all compromise and
by their stubbOrnness led the vets
to form a temporary coalition with the
agricultural bloc, The members Of
the latter helped kill the anti-beer
measure in return for the support of
the vets for the farm export credits
bill which was in danger of being
caught in the jam and held up in
definitely.
This credits bill empowers the War
Finance corporation to issue $500
100000 Of its own bonds and to lend
S10O00O0,000 for financing agricul-
tura exports. The house refused to
agree to senate provisions which.
would allow the corporation to lend
directly to European purchasers Of
the commodities, but the compromise
will allow the Finance corporation
to lend to anybody provided satisfac-
tory collateral is furnished to it for
the sums advanced.

Of the federal railway labor board to

with its employees, and has renewed

Pennsylvania, in an application filed
by Samuel Rea, president, denied the
legality of the boards refusal to rec

ballots which selected them made no
provision for unions ds such, and the
board ordered EcU election prescrlb.

The peace treaty with Germany has
been completed and last week was
shown to the members Of the senate
committee on foreign relations, and
also to other senators. All who saw
1t expressed their approval of the
pact, and it was to be signed in Ber-
lin. It must now be ratified by the
senate and the reichstag The treaty
provides for the resumption of dlplo-
matte and commercial relations be-
tween the two countries, awards the
United States the fruits of victory
specified in the Versailles treaty. and
provides for the payment by Germany
of American war damage claims. A
similar treaty has been negotiated
with Austria and signed at Vienna.

OF concrete interest IN the South
and at least academic interest in the
rest of the country is the decision OF
Federal Judge Boyd in Greensboro,
n. c., holding unconstitutional the
federal law imposing tax of 10 per
cent on the profits derived from prod
ucts on which child labor is en-
ployed. Regulation of labor, Judge
BOYD ruled, IS one of the powers re-
tanned by the states and not delegated
to the federal government State
child labor laws are adequate to care
for the situation and provide a pen
atty not a tax, as Is proposed by the
act Of congress, the decision said.
The attempt Of the federal govern
ment TO regulate labor within the
state is a usurpation Of authority and
a violation Of the sovereign rights Of
the state, the judge decided.

Unless the Dublin correspondents
are wrong another impasse in the
Irish peace negotiations has been
reached. De Valera, Dali Eireann
and the Irish republican council, after
long debate, have drawn up their re-
ply to Lloyd Georges offer and dis
patched it to London Presumably its
contents will be made public before
this reaches the reader. 1t is assert
ed now that the British offer has
been rejected and no counter PROPOSE
tion made by the Irish, but that the
way is left open for further negotia-
ton. The Sim Fein leaders believe
the premier is not sincere when he
says Great Britain has made its ulti-
mate offer; they think the truce will
not be broken by their rejection and
that Mr.. Lloyd George will make fur
Their concessions.
The Roman Catholic church inter-
vened in the Irish controversy last
week with a message to De Valera
'from the highest authority,"s deliv-
cred by the lord bishop of Dromore.
The source of the message and its
purport were not made public.

STOCKMEN NOT SELLING

Cattlemen of Elko County, the
leading stockraising section Of Ne
vada, are holding their cattle for a
second market. This is according to
local we'll informed cattle dealers. 1t
is asserted that numerous banks
throughout the county have arranged
to force sale of thousands of cattle
which is certain to force the price for
the animals to a very low level.
The Elko stockmen plan to hold
their herds until the forced sales have
been absorbed, when higher beef
prices are anticipated.
Travelling Freight and Passenger
Agent Pierce of the w. p. states that
orders for cars are less than at any
time in the history of the road, while
usually the company is deluged with
demands for cars by the stockraisers.
The present season has been ex-
ceptionally favorable for raising OF
large crops of hay and feeds and prac-
tically all the large companies have
ample and economical feed for their
herds.

NEVADA MINE OWNER
GUILTY A LARCENY

Sarah Seymour. also known as Mrs.
C. d. Seymour, who spent a major
portion of 1919 and 1920 in Elko and
vicinity, on a pretense Of purchasing
mining property at different points
in the county. was found guilty OF
grand larceny by the jury sworn to
try her ease in New York. says the
Elko Independent.
Mrs. Seymour vas a familiar figure
about Elko where she also worked
her imagination overtime in running
up accounts upon several local mer-
chants. which accounts were never
paid. At one time last year Mrs. Sey-
mour was accompanied by her. two
daughters to Elko, where they lived
at a local hotel for several months.
The property which formed the
nucleus for her stock-jobbing schemes
was situated at Lynn, New, and was
purchased two years ago from w. E.
Barney and associates. 1t is con-
coded to be promising mining prop
erty II developed. Mrs. Seymour made
no attempt to develop it, however.

The large number Of cows. which he
proposes to import, will consume
about $4,000 tons of alfalfa hay an
nually, he believes. and this agency
will act to relieve the hay marketing
situation there.
A cannery would supply Nevada
products for Nevandans. and aspara-

products canned.

will prefer to pay the higher rate for
better service than that which can be
rendered under the present scale,
with one messenger getting a batch

With the new fee in operation it

GOVERNOR O1CKERS0N
TO LIVE IN new YORK

The Spectator" In the Carson APP
peal says: when Denver Dickerson
was settled in the Federal prison job
all Of his enemies gave a sigh Of re-
lief and all his friends believed he
was put" for keeps. Then along
came the Presidents brother-in-law
and out went Dickerson. He grabbed
a root and a job with some penal So
ciety which held him above water for
a time. Again there was general
satisfaction. Then this was torn
loose and the friends and enemies
and he has plenty of both-wondered
Just where and what was the out
come. Was Denver coming back to
Nevada with a sharpened sinckersnee
ready for some more personal trim
mings? He always has a habit of
making himself known and while he
doesn't ask for the job, the job comes
along and asks for him.
Recent letters denote that Denver
Is now in New York and probably as
ISOLATED with Tex Richard. Advice
IL awaited with keenest anticipation.
Tex has become the big thunder in
the sporting world. This naturally
entails a lot Of wise men. Dickerson,
a former governor, a keen politician,
and one who has now had Washing
ton training, would be just the man
for Tex to annex to his private staff.
There will of necessity be legislation
to look after; there will be franchises
to secure from communities that have
to have their pulse felt, and there
will be a lot Of close questions to be
decided and there is lone more fitted
to give close ear advice than the
same Denver 8. Dickerson, former
Nevada governor. Therefore, we say
again, and loudly. that the Nevadans
who fear and admire the Denver way
will wish him on Tex II they can.
