tional Pencil Company's factory, who
Is under arrest as suspect in con-
nection with the murder of Mary
Phagan, was the principal witness at
to-day's session OF the coroner's in
quest. Franks examination lasted
more than three hours, and after two
minor witnesses had testified the in
quest was adjourned until Thursday
morning.
An unexpected development this
afternoon was the exhuming OF the
Phagan girls body at the order or
The coroner. The stomach was re-
moved and will be examined for
drugs.
Franks testimony disclosed the
fact that Lemme Quinn, another en-
ployee OF the factory was in the
plant where the girls body was
found shortly before she called there
on the afternoon Of her disappear
ance. Quinn probably will be called
as a witness before the inquest as a
result of this disclosure.
Little testimony Of Importance was
given on the stand by Frank, who ap-
parently was unmoved bv the three

visit to his office Of Mary Phagan

was the object OF the girls visit, and
she departed Immediately. He was
unable to describe the clothing worn
by the grill, and did not recollect
holding any conversation with her.
Indications are that Frank will be
recalled when the inquest Is resumed

The point at issue is the recent or
der Of the commission canceling pro-
posed tariff changes by the Grand
Trunk and Canadian Pacific roads,
abolishing stop over privileges on In
ternational lumber shipments, except
those destined exclusively to points
in the United States The question
is essentially the same as that In

Sersy that has been threshed out in

the Canadian roads have accorded The

slipping it on again to its destination
for slight advance over the regular
rate which would be changed for un-
broken forwarding. It is this privfl-

OF A BRAVE WOMAN
MRS. }. M. AcKERMAN DIES EARLY
THIS MORNING; WAS MOTHER
OF LARGE FAMILY

At 1880 o'clock this morning at the
Becker hospital Mrs. ]. NJ. Ackerman
died from the result of taking an over

New Mexico about ten years ago and
have resided in this state since that
time, living about two years in Albu-
buquerque and later in Las Vegas. Mr..
Alderman was employed on the Santa
Fe railway as locomotive engineer,
but lately entered the dairy business.
Mrs. Ackerman was loving wife, in
dustrious and home-loving. She made
many friends during her residence
in Las Vegas and had been all her
life member of the Methodist church.
She will be missed by all her friends
but those who will suffer most are
several children who sirvive her, six
being nnder years Of age, and it is
to these especially that the entire
community's sympathy goes out.
Besides her husband Mrs. Acker-
man is survived by 1s children. They
are Mrs. W. Moulton, A. F. Ackerman,
sNlHes Maggie, Bessie, james NJ,
George, William, Louise, Harry, Da-
vid, Evelyn, and Frances Ackermaa
