PARK At LEHMAN CAVE
APPROVED BY HARDING

The selection of the territory
around Lehman cave as a national
monument. which makes the eleventh
such monument to he established
throughout this country within a ma
tional forest, has been announced
from Washington.
The land embraced in the d~esigna-
ton at the entrance of the great cave
lies about six miles from Baker. in
the eastern section of White Pine
county, and this action was recently
recommended by Forest Supervisor
Mcqueen. after examination, under
the direction of the government upon
a petition fathered by c. c. Doak of
Tonopah. who became highly inter
ested after a trip through the wonder
land of the west.
As told in an isse of the News G "
eral weeks ago. the land which was
then recommended and has been
placed in the column of national
monuments by the signature of Pres
ident Harding. which was attached
January "a. Is a spot of more than
usual interest in the United States.
and with proper development it is
conceded that in scenic beauty the
cave can be made perhaps the most
remarkable in the United States. II
has V been fully explored and
therefore the area which it embraces
cannot be given.
The development of such natural
resources is as important to the state
of Nevada as a whole as the develop
ment of its great mineral deposits,
even II not always as profitable at
the outset. To those who now regard
\nfyndn No anIs N annIrfr .Aa4O
NAV be pointed out the fact that
within the borders of White Pine
county lies one of natures gifts we'll
worth a trip not only from every Sec
ton of the United States but from
foreign countries as well to witness.
What is now needed is active work
behind the movement which has re-
ceived the consideration of the presi-
dent OF the nation. The lands with
drawn for the purposes of the monu-
ment will be under the administration
of federal authorities and the work
incident to their care will at least for
the present be assigned to the Of
ficers Of the forest reserve. In this
the officials are well entitled tc the
support of every pu~blic-spirited citi-
zen. because II is the citizens in gen.
eral who reap the benefit of such
institutions. and the further devel-
opment and advertising of Lehman
cave opens a wide field which is pro-
ductive in the extreme.
A trip to the cave will convince
anyone of its great possibilities, as it
did Mr.. Doak. and with the opening
of the summer months an automobile
ride TO Nevada's wonderland will not
only he enjoyable but instructive and.
II the proper interest is shown, uiti-
mately highly profitable.

could bring TO bear, to the end that
the state highway commission of Ne
! yada might be induced to select the
| Lincoln highway as its primary route,
and then, he said, the rest would be
easy, pointing out that primary and
secondary roads had as yet only been
nominated and that the final decis-
ion rested with the federal authori-
Ties. He said that primary roads
must be interstate and must connect
up. in consequence of which. II Ne

from the northern route to the Lin
coin highway and Utah insisted on
winding up at Wendover there would
be no connection, in which event the
federal bureau would take a hand
and see that a proper connection be
made. He took the view that this
would be done only after an exhaust
i've examination as to the merits of
the two routes had been made by
di%sinterested and competent engi-
neers. He expressed himself as be-
ing content with any such ruling, be-
lieving. as he did. in the righteous
ness of his cause.
Mr.. Hoag quoted figures to show
that after leaving the Neyada-Utah
state line to reach Reno the northern
route would pass through towns with
a total population of 1867. while the
Lincoln highway as established
through Ely serves towns with a
total population of 1876. These

In regard TO a Wendoyer eonnee-
ton for Ely Mr.. Hoag said: If all
you want is a road for you local gem

build at any time. but if YOU want

another matter" He then gave log
zeal reasons why any tourist Once

Mr. Hoag took the view that the
battle was by no means over. but
now that the guns were drawn every
one interested should stand and shoot
until the last r~ollcall. He abhorred
what he termed as spineless indlvid-
ua!s who only threw monkey wrench
es into the machinery when standing
beside others who were really fight
ing the battle. He advised all TO
stand up when they were in the
right, even though odds might seem
10 be against them.

GREEK REVERSE
IN ASIA MINOR
TOTAL DEBACLE
Powers Are Appealed
to for Arn1is-
tice.

London, Sept. 5.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press) General opinion in
well-informed quarters in Lon
don today was that the disaster to
the Greek army in Asia Minor was
complete. There seemed little
prospect that anything could now
save it from a total debacle.
The Greek government has ap-
pealed to the powers to obtain an
armistice with the Turkish Ma
tionalists, who have virtually driv-
en- the Greeks from the battlefield
and as a result of interchanges
among the chancellories at Lon
don, Paris and Rome, instructions
have been sent to the allied high
commissioners of the three powers
in ConstantiIople to discuss joint
measures for bringing about a
suspension of hostilities.
1t is hoped here that a meeting
between representatives of the bel
ligerents can be arranged to be
held within the next two or three
days in a neutral zone of Asia Min
or, southwest of Ismid and that
this meeting will be productive of a
speedy cessation of fighting.

BONUS BILL Is
REFUSED PLACE
BEFORE TARIFF
Lead of Only 2 Votes
Decides Ques-
ton.

Washington, Sept. 5.-By vote
Of 5 to 3, senate and house con-
ferees, refused today to side-track
the administration tariff bill for the
soldiers bonus measure.
Today's meeting was the first to
which, the Democratic conferees
had been invited in since work on
the tariff was begun two weeks ago.
They were excluded after the vote
and the Republicans went ahead
with the rewriting of the tariff
bill. Good progress in that direc-
ton was, reported and Chairman
McCumber of the senate managers
believed the task would be finished
by the end of this week or early in
the next week.
Chairman Fordney of the house
managers led the opposition to i'm
mediate consideration of the bonus
bill. He argued that the tariff al
ready had been nearly three years
In the making and that it should
not be laid aside. Urging quick ac-
ton on the bonus, Chairman Nc
Cumber argued that an agreement
on this measure probably could be
reached within a few hours and
called attention that the bonus leg
islation had been pending a year
longer than had the tariff.

bORAH SAYS
writ IS BAD
PRECEDENT
Thinks Injunction Gives
Government Too Much
Power.
BIZ DAVID LAWRENCE.

\CoPyAl6AI, 4v66, W AAC IA 3 uo-J
Washington, D. c., Sept. 5.-Un-
less Attorney General Daugherty
modifies the phraseology Of the
temporary injunction which he has
obtained against the railroad shop
men, severe criticism Of his course
is inevitable in the senate.
Senator Borah OF Idaho, chair
man of the senate committee on la
Dor, told this correspondent today
that he did not feel warranted in
criticising the attorney general at
this time and that he would prefer
until after Sept IL, when the fed
eral court will decide whether to
make the temporary Injunction a
permanent one and in what form it
shall apply. Mr.. Borah feels, how
ever, that the temporary injunction
if made permanent would be dan
gerous precedent and that the right
Of interference of the government
in private affairs would thereafter
be almost unlimited. If, for in
stance, B. M. Jewell, head of the
striking shopmen, can be enjoined
from giving an interview to the
press on the subject of the strike,
it might be possible for some news
paper to be enjoined from publish
ing it and writer's might be\ re-
strained from discussing it in print.
In other words, situation parallel
to that which Governor Allen pre-
cipitated when he had William AL
len White, an editor. arrested for
putting a poster in his window
might be developed.
Senator Borah and others feel
that in some respects drastic in
junction might violate the consti-
tutional rights of citizens. and II
is sure to provoke debate in the
senate if the limitations of the gov.
ernment's power are not sharply
defined. Mr.. Borah and other.
friendly to labor recognize that the
government has the right to obtair
| injunctions which will restrain any
union men from melting their col
! leagues to acts of violence. Thi:
rests not merely on the Sherman
law but upon we'll established rules
of Jurisprudence which the courts
OF equity have long recognized
But whether the Injunction can be
extended to cover other acts and
other commands of the union lead
ers to their men is quite another
question. Mr.. Jewell, for example
can be enjoined from telling his
men either Individually or collect
lively that they must intimidatt
strike breakers or otherwise annoy
those who want to work or in any
way damage railroad property
But the courts cannot in the opin
ion of many senators interfere witt
the lawful conduct of a strike un
less and until congress makes
strike itself illegitimate.
| Talk of Action.
Talk of action against the rail
way executives persists but mostl.
on the theory that the government
will endeavor to even things up b.
appearing at least to be as stric
