By Cable to The Btar and New York Herald- Tritune. Copyright, 1930 MANILA, July 5.—Gov. Gen. Dwight F. Davis found himself the possessor of a new “title” upon his return from a trip for the Midsummer executive ses- sion here. He has been dubbed in all Manila’s newspapers as “the exploring Governor General.” It was only natural that with the advent of the donor of the Davis Cup and the establishment of the “tennis cabinet” at Malacanan Palace, not to mention the capture of the national la- dies’ doubles tennis title by Misses Alice and Alita 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. Discovers Seaside Grotto. ‘The first of his famous “finds” was the result of a trip on the executive yacht Apo. Davis was reviewing several important legislative cases, and left Manila for a 10 days’ cruise. He re- turned not only with his decisions, but with a complete report of the explora- tion of a seaside grotto in the Bay of the major tourist attractions of the islands. At the risk of wrecking 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 result of his investigations, a tourist rest_house will be bullt on the edge of the bay and regular tourist parties con- ducted through the grotto.

Series of Crystal Caves. ‘The latest and most important find of the ,uvzrnor 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 a result he undertook, in the com- pany with the chief electrical engi- nee; 0{1. the r;u:nm Ji: W. Willey, the exploration, photography and mappi: of the caves which had been repor&%.n. The results were astonishing. A serfes of crystal caverns far superior to anything previously known in the Philippines was discovered.

Per- ect arches are made by stalactites and stalagmites, while almost every known geological formation of limestone is present. The Libmanan caves have attracted the attention of geologists, 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 Libmanan, 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, MURDER OF ROHM MAY GO UNSOLVED Evidence So Far Insufficient! to Present Grand Jury at Richmond.

RICHMOND, Va, July 5.—Unless there are unexpected developments in the investigation into the slaying of Harry Rohm, 45-year-old leather deal- er, May 12, the case will not be laid before the grand jury at the July term Monday, as planned, according to | Commonwealth's Attorney Dave E. Sat- terfield, jr. | Satterfield said that he had received no information other than that which Detective Capt. A. §. 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 a circumstantial nature. | 1n his opinicn, the finding of the pistol with which the killing was done will bring about the solution of the mys- tery. A verdict was found for Mrs. Rosa Rohm by a jury in the City Circuit Court in her action asking a court order instructing the Central National Bank, as administrator of the estate of Rohm, to turn over to her 2 real estate note for $10,000 found among Rohm'’s effects. In her petition, Mrs. Rohm stated that the note belonged to her indi- vidually. She declared that she deliv- ered 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 | possession. The note, dated September 1, 1925, | signed by H. R. Williams and indorsed | by H.

INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va, July 5.—Delegate Hugh Reld of Arlington County, sponsor of the joint resolution passed at the last session of the General Assembly for the creation of a commission for the study of the workmen's compensa- tion act, with a view to the creation of & State insurance fund, will call a meet- ing of the commission at Richmond for the latter part of this month, he an- nounced today. ‘While this commission has never had & meeting, and therefore has not se- lected a chairman or secretary, Reid stated that it was customary for the sponsor of the *measure creating such a commission to call the first meeting, and that he thinks the work facing the body is of such magnitude as to require an immediate start. Commission Named. ‘The resolution set the membership of the commission at seven, three to be appointed from the House of Delegates, two from the Senate and two by the Governor. _ Those selected from the House are Reid, Delegate Fred B. Greear of Rocky Mount. Members from the Senate are Senators Waller Holladay, Richmond, and John A. Lesner, Norfolk. ‘The Governor’s appointees are Dr. J. A C. Chandler, president of Willilam and Mary College, and Dr. Tucker, pro- fessor of economics of Washington and Lee College. The first meeting will be primarily for organization. A permanent chair- man and secretary are to be selected a procedure arranged. It is also hoped to make arrangements for any technical assistance needed in the gathering of data. ‘There was passed at the last session a bill increasing the awards under the workmen's compensation act, but the increases were not nearly so large as were sought by the sponsors and the Virginia Federation of Labor, at whose request the bill was introduced. The reason for the amendment of the bill and its passage in the amended form was due to the opinion of a majority of the legislators that the rates under the present system are too high to shoulder any large additional expense on the employers who must take out the insurance. Thinks Rates May Decrease. heid thinks that the rates could be made very much less by the creation of a State insurance fund and the re- moval of the incurance from private companies. Such funds are in existence in West Virginia, Ohio and & number of other States, he claims, and have been beneficial to both the employer and the employe, the former benefiting by the smaller expense and the latter by the larger awards that are possible. In pointing out the necessity for & thorough study of this problem before the next General Assembly, Reid stated that an additional increase of 6 per cent in rates has been granted to the in- surance companies by the State Corpo- ration Commission since the close of the past session. This increase is made he explained, to make the rate conform with the increase in compensation, TRIO HELD AS AUTO CRASHES WITH TRUCK Alexandria Police Place Series of Charges Against Youth in Auto Bearing Florida Tag.
