Atlanta, May 3.-Renewed efforts o.
detectives investigating the death of
Mary Phagan, the young girl found
murdered in the basement of the Ma
tional Pencil company factory Sunday
morning last, today led to the belief
that the coroner's jury would conclude
its work at the session called for Mon
day afternoon.
I'VE are working on the same lines
as during the first few days" said
Chief of Detectives Lanford today it
is known, however, that several new
clews have been found, one of which
said to be letter to the dead girl, IS
being guarded with great secrecy.

Believe Situation Relieved.

Washington, D. c., May BIN Of
fetal circles here the opinion is gain.
ing ground that the situation created
by the proposed anti-alien land owning
legislation in California has been re
lieved largely of it's grave aspect, AMI
that satisfactory adjustment has
been brought into sight by the latest
developments as Sacramento.
Adoption by the California senate Ct
the amendment to the pending alien
iand-owning bill to permit leases u
lands by japanese for periods not ex-
ceeding three years, is connected by
the officers of the administration with
Secretary Bryan's pastponement OF
his return to Washington. 1t is be-
lieved he hopes to mitigate the dractic
features of the bill to a point where
there will be no ground fer objection
from the japanese government
Any such legislation as that pending
in California would not be welcomed
by the japanese, but it is said that in
the higher circles in Toxic it is real
lied that some such legislation is in
evitable and must be accepted, pro-
yided Japanese pride is saved, and the
possible injury to Japanese subjects
reduced to a minimum.
Officials are silent.
The embassy officials here are dis
Creetly silent regarding the latest
phase, but it is believed they regard
this last measure as less offensive than
the original Webb bill
Most of the agricultural lands in
California, cultivated BY Japanese are
held under lease and the property oc-
cupied as residence and business
houses by Japanese is especially ex-
empted from escheatment, so that pc
cuniary damage caused by the act
would be reduced to minimum by the
amendment. 1t is pointed out, too
that by recognizing the validity I'll
leases, the Californians are simply du
plicating the conditions under which
Americans at present may hold land
in Japan.

CALIFORNIA ALIEN
BILL IS AMENDED
Senate Makes Three Year
Leases Possible

Sacramento, Cal, May 3-An amend
ment to the Webb redraft of the anti
alien land bill permitting ineligible
aliens to lease agricultural property
for period not exceeding three yeats
was adopted by the senate at noon by a
non-partisan vote, and the bill was
sent to the printer with emergency
rush orders.
Under ordinary circumstances the
amended bill could not be ready TO.
final action for several days, but the
majority leaders had arranged in ad-
vance for quick action so that the new
copy would be back from the printing
office in time for early vote.
Conference Plan.
This move was decided at a confer
ence among Governor Johnson, At
torney General Webb and Senator A.
E. Boyton, when it was agreed to ac,
cept an amendment to the Webb re-
draft of the land bill, permitting in
eligible aliens to lease agricultural
property for period of not exceed
ing three years.
The original bill prohibited both
ownership and leasing, but upon the
reception of violent protests from
large land interests that would be Sc
riously affected if leases were elimin-
ated, it was thought best to make this
specific exemption in the bill before
bringing it up for final passage.
Debated all Day.
The amendments made the bill iden-
deal with the measure introduced in
the assembly last night by Assem-
blyman Bloodgood.
Senator Boyton hastily prepared the
amendment which he introduced when
the bill was called up as a special or
der Debate on Boyton's amendments
and on the changes proposed by Sena-
tors Wright and Caminetti, in additio)
to consideration of Senator Curtins
resolution proposing that the legisla-
ture defer to the wishes of President
lasted throughout the day.

Nav Exhume Girls Body.

Many wild and silly rumors have
been current here today and tonight,
One, quickly disproven, was to the
effect that the negro had confessed,
saying that Frank had killed the girl
and paid Lee $500 to incinerate the
body in the furnace. Some even went
so far as to say Franks check had
been found for that amount
irresponsible gossips start and
spread these idle and harmful rumors,
the only effect of which is to make the
feeling more intense. The coroner
said today that it was possible that the
girls body would be exhumed for ex-
animation, although this was not

MAY FINISH PHAGAN
INQUEST ON MONDAY
One of Important Clues is
Letter to Dead Girl

Atlanta, May 3.-Private detectives
were employed yesterday by Solicitor
General Dorsey to run down certain
clues not yet fully developed in con-
nection with the murder of Mary Pha-
gan. While the city detective force is
still busy working on the case, Sole
itor Dorsey has not been fully satisfied
with the conduct affairs and has taken
the initiative on his own volition to
aid in unrayeling the web. He held
with city detectives and
Mrs. Hattie Barnett, of the Pinkerton
forces.
The grand jury met today but did
not take up this case A new grand
jury meets Monday, however, and
may go into it. The inquest will be
Monday when more than 200
witnesses will be summoned.

SAYS MOTOR TRUCKS PAY FOR
SELVES IN ONE YEARS time

recently upon the subject of motor
truck efficiency. This conclusion has
been reached after actual experiment
with the commercial trucks in my bus
mess, by investigation in other cities,
and from the reports OF other firms U.s.
ing motor trucks for hauling purposes
in Richmond. There are a number of
firms in this city alone which have
replaced the horse and wagon method
of hauling with the more efficient mo-
tor truck method, and all these firms,
from all that l can gather have moth
ing but good to speak of their ma
chimes. This / know to be true in
the case of the many trucks operated
in this city"
A number of other truck users in the
city were similarly consulted upon the
matter. All were hearty in their COM
mendation of the commercial truck.
Their opinions as they go from one
month to another will sell other mo-
tor trucks, no doubt, and the list of
truck users in this city is expected to
grow in accordance. There are still
others, likewise, which, through busi-
than mere statement of qualities of
an innovation before they will make
changes from their followed and ac-
cepted mode of doing business. Yet
local truck users, through operation of
their trucks, seem to have built up a
list of figures that not only will as
tound the skeptical but would con-
vince the firms which require actual
figures for confirmation of opinions.
''It was about one and half years
ago that I first thought of replacing
my horse and wagon delivery system
with motor trucks" he said. 81, how
ever, did not wish to plunge into such
change without first having consider
ed the matter from every angle, until
had the opinion of firms that had
tried the trucks, and until I was con-
vinced that the trucks were more eff
fcient and less expensive than the
methods that were already in use. For
these reasons / attended a number of
automobile shows and consulted va
rious concerns with view of obtain
| ing their opinions as to the efficiency
of the motor truck in general and as
to the motor truck which would best
suit my needs, would operate at low
cost and without mechanical trouble.
AS a result of these investigations

established.
Mr. MoConahas believes the outlook
for the automobile industry in this
county was4 neverAas bright as tits at
this time. The Sfarmers last year
waited .untiltthis year to purchase ,ma-
chimes, because ofvthe failure of the
wheat crop,in 1912. The condition of

conditions Indicate that 1913 will be
one of theArecordebreaking years from
the standpoint ofathe number of ma
chimes, sold.

ordered two motor trucks, and for
several weeks placed them under a
rigorous test, loaded to their full ca
pacity These tests demonstrated all
that / expected and more.
81 Immediately began preparations
to sell my horses and wagons, which
in the past had been used in my deliv-
cry service. I had used nine horses
and five wagons. / sold all but team
of horses and dray, which I used to
supplement the truck service. AS re-
suit of this sale also dispensed with
the services of two drivers and who,
Until this time, had been kept con-
stantly employed in the care of the
horses and wagons.
Since that time / have done all the
hauling of my business by means of
these two trucks and with occasional
help where the loads to be carried
were in excess of the capacity of the
trucks by the use of the one team and
wagon. have been able through their
use to reach certain outlying districts
of the city which with horse and
wagon were reached once to three
times a week. not several times a
week, but every day of the week.
Through the very severe tests placed
upon them by bad roads and every
conceivable weather condition that
could confront a motor truck, the cars
have stood up well.
But the big thing to be noticed is
the remarkably low price at which two
trucks of this kind have been oper-
ated. l have found that for oil and
gasoline it costs me but $14 for each
month for each truck. The trucks are
in operation almost constantly. In the
first year of their operation the trucks
have paid for themselves by the way
of decreasing hauling expenses"
