This expedition was followed by a trim
on horseback through the Bontoc coun-
try, and the Governor General has rec
commended the construction of new
roads that the entire Cagayan Valley
may be open to visitors in Manila with
out the tedious hardships of the pres
ent trip. More exploration of the shore
line Of Western Luzon followed. and
the newspapers daily reported his trips
to isolated settlements, remote noun
tains and other points Of interest hither-
to untouched by exploration.
Series Of Crystal Caves.
The latest and most important find
or the governor general, however is A.
series OF crystal caves in the Province
Of Camarines Sur. Southern Luzon.
The prospective opening of railway
service through the southern part of the
island had brought its topography to
the attention of the chief executive, and
as result he undertook, in the COM
pany with the chief electrical enVi-
neer OF the railway, j. w. Wiley, the
exploration, photography and mapping
Of the caves which had been reported.
The results we're astonishing. A
series OF crystal caverns far superior
to anything previously known in the
Philippines was discovered. The main
gallery is more than quarter of A
mile long and opening from 1t are two
side galleries OF more than 200 feet
each, with separate openings to the
surface. In addition there are numerous
small galleries, grottoes, passages and
pockets, each bearing beautiful and re-
markable fguration in limestone. Per-
rect arches are made by stalactites and
stalagmiteS, while almost every known
geolog ical formation OF limestone is
present.
The Lithuanian caves have attracted
the attention Of biologists, who are now
analyzing the various formations. while
the spot bids fair to become a tourist
attraction second only to Mount Mayon,
the volcano. The railway has reached
iLlomanan, and with the influence of
the governor general it is probable that
motor launches will Immediately be
put In operation for the trip down the
river to the caverns themselves.

special Dispatch TO The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, July Sunless
there are unexpected developments In
the investigation into the Staying of
Harry Rohm, 45-year-old leather deal
err, May IL, the case will not be laid
before the grand jury at the July term
Monday, as planned, according to
Commemorative Attorney Dave Z. Sat-
terfield, jr.
Satterfield said that he had received
no information other than that which
Detective Capt. A. S. Wright submitted
several weeks ago, which was not
deemed of sufficient strength to war
rant an arrest.
Although there are two men assigned
to the Rohm case, Capt. Wright said
there are no new clues. He reports that
every possible clue has been run down
and that such evidence as has been
gathered is of circumstantial nature.
In his opinion, the finding of the pistol
with which the killing was done will
bring about the solution of the mys-
terry.
A verdict was found for Mrs. Rosa
Rohm by a jury in the City Circuit
Court in her action asking court order
instructing the Central National Bank,
as ADMINISTRATOR OF the estate OF fConIn,
to turn over to her e real estate note
for 10000 found among Rohm's effects.
In her petition, Mrs. Rohm stated
that the note belonged to her indi-
vidual1y. She declared that she deliv-
cred the note in February to Rohm to
be kept in his safety deposit box in the
bank, to be returned to her on her
request. He was shot and killed in his
home while the note was still in his
possession.
The note. dated September /, 1925
signed by H. r. Williams and Endorsed
by H. Rohm, was secured by deed Of
trust on 1901 Chamberlayne avenue.
The court action was brought with
the full consent of the bank admin
istrator and was only to obtain court
sanction in the matter. Benjamin Low
enstein, counsel for Mrs. Rohm, said.

a new title" upon his return from q

Manila's newspapers as the exploring

1t was only natural that with the

and Alta Davis, daughter and niece of
the Philippine chief executive, that Mr..
Davis should become known imme-
diately as the tennis-playing Governor
General" This title was affectionately
bestowed and it stuck.
But with the increased activity of the
Philippine Tourist Association and the
consequent emphasis upon places Of
natural interest in the Philippines, the
discovery has been made that Mr.. Davis
has done more to bring remote parts of
the Philippines to popular attention
than any previous Governor General.

with a complete report of the explora-
ton of q seaside grotto In the Bay of
Ligay, which promises soon to be one of
the major tourist attractions of the

official craft, the Governor General ran
up in the small rocky harbor of the bay,
beached the Apo, and proceeded in a
small motor launch to cross the reef be-
fore the grotto and find his way about
the subterranean channels, which, he
says, are in no way inferior to the
famous Blue Grotto at Capri AS a
