still more wildly the panorama of the
Volturno's loss and the rescue Of more

OF cowardice there was none on the
volturno. either among officers or crew,
Inch said There was no rush of sea-

officials could give her was statement
that there was no means of providing for
more help.
The Labor Departments plea for assist
ance from the parent department has
been SO strong that the Commerce De-
partment yielded. But now its own force
must suffer. But only Congress. In Its
generosity. can relieve this weight on the
shoulders Of the labor help The extra

FRANK TEST|F|ES
IN PHAGAN CASE
Superintendent Before Cor
Oner in the Mysterious
Atlanta Murder

Atlanta, May LEO NJ. Frank, superin-
tendent of the National Pencil company's
factory, who is under arrest as a suspect
in connection with the murder of Mary
Phagan, was the principal witness at to-
days session of the coroners inquest.
Franks examination lasted more than
three hours, and after two minor wit
nesses had testified the. inquest was ad-
journed until Thursday morning.
An unexpected development this after
noon was the exhuming of the Phagan
girls body at the order of Coroner Don
ehoo. The stomach was removed and
will be examined for drugs.
Franks testimony disclosed the fact
that Lemme Quinn, another employe OF
the National Pencil company, was in
the plant where the girls body was found
shortly before she called there the after
noon OF her disappearance. Quinn prob
ably will be called as a witness before
the inquest as a result of the disclosure.
Little testimony of Importance was
given on the stand by Frank, which ap-
parenty was unmoyed by the three hour
Interrogation. He told of the visit-to
his office of Mary Phagan Saturday a
week ago. At this time, according to
his testimony, he paid her the money
for her services, which was the object of
the girls visit, and she departed i'm
mediately He was unable to describe
the clothing worn by the girl, and did
not recolect holding any conversation
with her.
Indications are that Frank will be re-
called when the inquest is resumed on
Thursday and other employees of the fac
tory will testify.
