NEVADA LEGAL
HEAD CASTIGATED
BY MARTS AIDE
Efforts to Set Aside Without
Precedent in Legal History,
Breach of Authority, Says
McNab Attorney General
Meddlesome.
CARSON CITY, v. Dec. 2.
Nevada to set asiili; Mary Pickford's
Declarations that the attempt of Attor-ney-Ocnoral
Leonard H. Fowler of
dlvnrc-o from Owen Monro "violates
every principle of institutional gov
eminent" anil "is the first of its kind
and should be the last" were made by
-Miss I'ickford's attorney, flavin M:
Nab, San Francisco, in an answer filed
in the state supreme court here today
to Fowler's appeal from District Judge
Frank I'. Langan's rnllns upholding
the decree.
Miss 1'lcliford was granted a decree
of divorce at Minden, Nev., March li'V
1920, by Judge l.angan and in a short
time married Douglas Fairbanks. Miss
Plckford, Moore and Fairbanks are
motion picture stars. On April 1(1
1920. Attorney-General Fowler filed
an action at Minden asking that the
decree be set aside "In the Interests of
tho stale of Nevada." On June 2f.
1!)2I, Judge l.angan upheld the decls'
lou and Fowler appealed to tho -state
supreme court. McNab's conclusions
leached In his answer to the appeal
follow In full:
"This ease Is without precedent In
jurisprudence.
"It is tlin first of Its kind and should
ho the lust of its hind.
"it violates every principle of InstI
tutlonal government.
"It Is without warrant by the constl
t tit ion of Nevada, by statute, by Un
common law or by judicial Interpreta
tion.
"Official power and authority must
bo found In the law. They cannot be
usurped.
"No language can bo found In any
law that can be tortured into glviny
excuse for this attitude of the attorney
Kencral.
"If Nevada had contemplated bo
coming a party in tho form of plaint If!
or defendant, or plaintiff against plain
i ii r and deiendaut, in divorce, or any
oilier action, tho stale, through her
people or her legislature, would have
articulated her purpose.
"If Nevada had Intended that liei
established courts wore not to ho tin
solo dispenser of justice, but that the
nttorney-gonernl was to bo a super
court-overruling judicial determina
tions, disturbing tho orderly udminis
trillion of justice anil hiirrassing lltl
gants it surely would have so said
It Is not thinkablo that the people ol
tho state could allow any official to be
at largo without legal restrictions
freo to constitute himself a bill of at
talnder as against any litigant.
"The axiomatic principle of repre
sentative and orderly government is
that law shall have a uniform opera
Hon. It cannot bo delegated to nn
official to make tho law unto himself
and to select a victim for prejudice or
caprice. That would bo tho end of
free government.
"1 hat no attorney-general In the
long history of Nevada ever attempted
to exercise such powers should settle
tho fact of their non-existence. Thai
mo present attorney-general has se
lected but one victim for this attempt
oil extraordinary oppressive and eceen
trie Interpretation and abuse of iwwer
amounting to persecution argues
against its existence, even in his judg
ment.
"1 ho peoplo of Nevada could have
contemplated that It should bo left to
tho temper, prejudice or caprice of any
official whether the law should, or
slioulu not bo applied, nor that he
should confine the operation of the law
to one person alone merely because
that person was famous.
"Nevada has expressed herself Ir
her laws as to tho authority of her
courts and the authority of other ofllo
mis, a no nas given no power to
attorney-generals such as the present
attorney-general has invented. What
the people have not given to him. the

"No instance can be cited where
such an attempted seizure of authority
has bevn tolerated by any American
state, nor can any case be cited in any

"The substitution of government by

"In this instance Uio court having

adjudicated the subject and has dis
charged its obligation to the state of
Nevada, to the iieople of Nevada and
its duty to society.
"No appeal has boon taken from that
judgment. No motion was made by
the court, itself, to set the judgment
aside.
"The judgment is final.
"The gratuitous and meddlesome ac
tion and interference by a stranger, In
attempting to disturb the adjudication
of the court by thla strange and incon

without precedent and without war

to dismiss the appeal if the orders
made are not appealable."
SAYS CRATER LAKE
BEST SCENIC BET
NATIONAL PARE:
TO RECTIFY SHANTUNG MESS
(Continued from page one.)
In IS 14 Japan nnnounced that she
would support Oroat ilrltain's Inter
ests by taking the town of Tsliigtao,
Die Chlnoso wished to send troops to
make the attack a concerted affair,
but were dissuaded.. When Japan
had stormed the town and taken ii
from the llcrmnns, the t'hlnese con
sidered the matter merely n 'Tsing
to question.' imt it rapidly grew Into
a 'Shantung (.uosllnn' again when se
cret treaties were disclosed whereby
Japan bad obtained more than a year
before the peace eonfereneo the
engagements of tlreat liritaln, France.
Itussin and Italy to support Japanese
claims- to all privileges which (ier
many bad aciiulred in .shantung.
Although the Chinese delegates pro
tested that when llielr country enter
ed the war against Cermany and ab
rogated nil treaties with the latter the
territories and concessions automati
cally reverted to China, the Tails
council followed the secret treaties
and provided in the treaty of Ver
sailles for the transfer of 'all rights
formerly belonging to Ooi-manv' in
Shantung, to Japan. The Chinese re
fused to sign the treaty; and there the
matter may be said to rest, though It
has since been the subject of almoin
easeless diplomatic discussion.
Is China's Holy Land.
"Most of the coast of Shantung Is
rough, but within this minor barrier,
much of Hie province Is plains coun
try with unending fields of beans and
kaoliang, a kind of grain sorghum.
The level sections of the provlneo are
traversed by the great Yellow Klvcr.
which periodically Inundates the
ountry; and the Grand Cannl. a
Waterway second In importance as a
ommcrco carrier only to the Yang-
tszc-klang.
Near the central part of Khantunu
rises Tin -Shun, the highest and most
famous of Die five sacred mountains
of China. A short distance to the
south of the mountain Is a little town
which probably ranks as the most
venerated spotin all China, the birth
place and burial place of Confucius.
one of the world's greatest religious
teachers. To both Tal-Slinn and the
uravo of Confucius at Chow-fu. thous-
inds of pilgrims journey annually,
file presence of these sacred Hm.iu
raises Shantung sentimentally above
the other provinces. They transmute
it Into tho Chinese Holv Umrt."
"Crater lake is one of our biggest
beta in the west and is destined to
become one of the most famous of all
the national parks." is the opinion of
II. M. Albright, superintendent of the
Yellowstone national park and field
representative of the director of the
national park service, guest cf the
Forum Wednesday.
"The growth of Crater lake as
tourist attraction in the past year has
been simply phenomenal. A year ago
it was listed as tho worst park on the
circuit, by tourists. During tho tires
ent year It has been the only national
park at which no complaints whatever
have been received.
"Crater lake, moreover, showed the
biggest percentage of Increase in vis
itors in the past season. In Ki20 there
were zn.vi-., ami in 1U21 it rose to 2S,-
f 17, an Inoioase around 40 per cent.
"Wo intend concentrating on this
park and expect to see it come intj
larger prominence with each succeed
ing year.
"The circuit of national parks is
destined to become a larger and
larger tourist asset and to bring more
and more money Into the territory
where they lie. as tho development ol
highways and tho growth of the habit
of automobile touring continues. We
park people probably know more
about automobiles and what they
mean than anyone else, for we are In
contact witli this touring phenomenon
as Is nnlKidy else. It is only in Its
Infancy and It Is almost beyond imag
ination to try to picture the proKr
tions to which It will grow in future.,
"The habit of visiting national
parks grows. In l!il!) we had a total
of 7r.r.,0lid national nark visitors: In
120, 'il'j.OuO, and In 11121 it has jumped
past I ho million mark, to 1,70I),II00.
All ol this largely automobile travel
When tho railways get back into the
game or carrying tourists, the national
parks will be simply swamped."

"The traffic officers of the depart
