Atlanta, Ga., April 2S. A coroner's jury today viewed the spot in the basement of the National Pencil Com pany's factory where the lifeless body of 14 year-old Mary Phagan was found early Sunday morning. The in spection was designed to assist the jury to determine whether the child was killed in the metal room of the factory on the second floor and her body dragged to the basement or whether she met her death in the un derground room. While the autopsy was being held, L. M. Frank, superintendent of the pencil factory, was being subjected to a rigid examination at police head quarters. Although Frank had not been arrested, two lawyers he had re tained insisted on being present dur ing his examination. An improvised cot was discovered today in the cellar in which the body was found. Near the cot was found the small foot print of a woman. Only two arrests had been made in the case up to early afternoon. Ar thur Mullinax, whp is alleged to have seen with the girl Saturday night, and Newt Lee, the negro watchman, were the only ones in custody. Atlanta, Ga., April 28. Disclosures that will lead to the discovery of the identity of the person who killed 14- year-old Mary Phagan and placed her body in the basement of the National Pencil Company s lactory are expected by the police at tne coroner's Inquest, set for 10 oclock this morning. So far two arrests have been made in connection with the case, the negro watchman, Newt Lee, who claims to have found the body while making his rounds, and a young man named Ar thur Muulinaux, aleged -,to have been seen with the Phagan girl late Satur day night a short time before her death, being, held as suspects.. " Several theories have 1 beefl" advanc ed by the police, among these being that the negro Watchman was em ployed by the girl's murderers to assist in disposing of the body, and that he became frightened later and gave the alarm. Story of the Discovery. With clothing torn in shreds and other indications of violence conspic uous, the body of Mary Phagan, 15-year-old daughter of Mrs. J. W Cole man, of Atlanta, was fdund early yes terday in the basement of the Nation al Pencil Company's plant, at 37 For syth street. Newt Lee, negro night watchman at the building, who dir covered the body, was arrested shortly after he notified the police. A young man giving the name of .A. Mullanox, also has been taken into custody. The police assert that the latter is alleged to have been seen with the Phagan girl at 12:30 yesterday morning. Both prisoners are being detained under the blanket charge of "sus'picion," and both deny any knowledge of the alleg ed, killing. The body was found, accord ing to the negro, at 1:30 yesterday morning when he was making a round of the building. In addition to. a gap ing wound in the back of the head, bruises and lacerations on the-body, a handkerchief was found knotted about the throat. Tied to this- was a short piece of rope, with which, the police believe, the body was lowered into the basement through a small hole in the floor above.

A "war speech" in support of the proposed Ollld Sell jR.OSffl delivered in the house today by Rep resentative Sisson, of Mississippi. If we must 1 have -war or submit to this indignity, I am for war," cried Mr. Sissom. "I am with the people of California in their efforts to prevent these aliens from acquiring land." I believe," said Mr.: Sisson, "that no non-resident aliens should be al lowed to hold a single foot of land in he territory of the United States. What would Washington say in an swer to the question, war or submis sion? What would Jackson say? What would Cleveland eay? What would McKinley say? "I ' resent the efforts of Japan to force us to submit to her demands." Mr. Sisson took the position that the Japanese government m protest ing against alien land legislation was endeavoring to exempt its citizens from the operation of the laws of sttes. "The president and. secretary of state,'" said Mr. Sisson, "should only assure an alien government that the; people of that alien nation would o dealt with fairly in accordance with the law of the state. Any other posi tion would lead to the federal govern ment, taking out from under the laws of the states the citizens of another nation. But all citizens or aliens resi dent in a state -must be held subject to its laws and to exempt the alien would give him privileges over and above those accorded to American citizens." Representative Mann, the republi can leader, suggested the United States had the constitutional right to treat with - foreign governments , to secure for American citizens property rights abroad and that Mr. Sisson was contending that the foreign gov ernments did not have a similar right. - Mr. Sisson contended that the peo ple of California had ; the right to pass laws regarding alien holding of land as in their judgment seemed best when such' laws did not infringe upon the federal constitution. .

The naval stores factors of the South are to hold a meeting in Savannah on Fri day for the purpose of perfecting a plan by which rosins may be sold direct to the consumer in the future. The present idea is to have the agree ment apply only to rosins. It may be decided later to market spirits in the same manner. Mr. J. A. G.
