MIKADO'S NEXT MOVE.
Tension Said to be Growing in OFF,
cial Circles Notwithstanding Re-
ports to the Contrary.

Washington, May 10. = Tension
over the Japanese situation con-
tinues to excite anxious attention in
official official diplomatic quarters,
but there are no specific develop
ments at the White House, the StaI.e e
Department or The Japanese en-
bassy.
Nine of the thirty days Governor
Johnson has, under che California
Constitution, to sign the alien land
bill has now lapsed, and he impress
sion is beginning to gain ground here
that the governor will avail himself
Of The full measure of time, even if
he has declared his purpose to ap-
prove the Webb bill. Secretary Bry-
an has not communicated with the
Governor since the reception Of his
telegraphic message setting out his
reasons for upholding the action OF
the Legislature, but it is simply
waiting for the final act of signature
before making reply to the Japanese
note protesting against the legisla-
ton.
Whether the japanese embassy
will continue to await the expiration
of the full thir)y-day period Of
grace, and before making representa-
tions on the subject to the State De-
pertinent depends entirely upon the
Judgment of the Foreign Cffice in
Tokyo, for from this point forward
all of the proceedings in the nego-
I;iations will be adopted referen-
dunn"
1t has been suggested that al
though there may be some prelim-
mary exchanges before the even: the
Japanese government can find no
technical reasons for demanding relief
before the commission of some action,
under the terms of the Webb law, to
the detriment Of THE Japanese SUBJ
ject. In that case further consider
able delay is probable, as the act will
not go into operation for period of
ninety days after it receives the ap-
proval of the governor. 1t is gen.
orally accepted thS. one of the pre-
liminary points of protest by Japan
is that the California law is in con-
travention of the treaty Of 1911, but
exactly wherein has not thus far
bsen discussed.

Causing Death Of a.
Year-old Girl.
DASTARDLY CRIMES.
Details of Assault and killing
Victim About to Regain Con-
seriousness When Given Quietus.

l;tlanta, Ga, May 1.-THE theory
evolved by the detectives as to how
pretty fourteen-year-old Mary Pha-
gan met her death in the National
Pencil Factory several weeks ago,
and about which Hugh l. Dorsey, So
licitor general, is seeking to build a
case against l.. NJ. Frank, the factory
superintendent, has just ben made
public Mr. Frank is a graduate Of
Cornell, a leader in charitable work,
and belongs to several clubs.
He and Newt Lee, the rac,ory's COL
ordc watchman, have beer held by
the cc"oner's jury, and the evidence
against them will be presented 10
the grand jury at an early date.
This is the police theory, based on
Sherlock Holmes methods OF detec-
tion, of now the girl was killed.
She arrived at the pencil factory
"bctwcen II and ten minutes past II
on Saturday, April 26 A short time
after she was lured to the metal
room on the second floor, where she
worked. The big doors of this room
were closed, making it almost impcs-
Sibla for the two men working on the
fourth floor to hear any outcries.
Then she was overpowered and as
sauited, and her assailant, realizing
that he had committed crime which
would cost him his life, r. it Lccant..
!lonwn, argued with her and entr2at-
70 her TO Eeep silent.
When she reiterated her intention
to tell he struck her terrific blow
in the iGr.t eye, causu.C her 70 fail
against the handle Of g.: lathe. The
back of her head struck on the lathe
handle, rendering her unconscious,
and producing deep wound. Then
her assailant got cord and looped
it around her neck.
l.e dragged her into ore of the
sm Il dressing rooms near 0y and
placed papers JEd @a;:.e old gar r"%'s
beneath her head Then the door Of
the dressing room was closed and the
assailant went away ceiiev.ng mat
the girl was either dead or dying.
Later in the afternoon when there
was no one else in the factory, he
returned, and either carried or drag
ged the body to the elevator, which
he ran to the basement The motion
Of he cieva'3r or the SIacHening Of
the loop knot in the cord about the
girls neck resulted in ner partially
regaining consciousness, and when
the asSaiIaaa observed this he tight
ened the cord about her neck and
dragged her to the rear END of the
basement He then tore the wide hem
from the girls underskirt mad knot
ted it about her neck to make sure
tina. she would be strangled.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

The extent of the fire in the Ghetto
in Presburg, Hungary, Saturday,
when 5000 persons were rendered
homeless, might have been consider
ably lessened but for. the strict reli-
gious observances of the Orthodox
Jews in refusing to perform any Ia
Dor on the Sabbath. L: was only
after the chief rabbi gave his con-
gregaion dispensation thaE they
consented to save the women and
children. The Ghetto, which was the
most ancient in Europe, was destroy
ed. While the buildings were burn
ing the people stood by and saw all
their possessions swept by the
flames, but refused to render any
assistance in extinguishing the fire.
