who swears that she heard a girl's screams as she was passing the
factory at 4 :G() o’clock the afternoon of the tragedy. The cries
were shrill and piercing, she says, and died away as she stopped
an instant to listen.
The woman was sure they
•ame from inside the factory, but
she gave little attention to her
startling experience until she
read of the strangling of Mary
Phagan. Then it occurred to her
that she very likely had heard
the dying cries of the little girt
and she reported the matter to
tlie authorities.
Solicitor Dorsey, as his first action
after the holding of Leo M. Frank and
Newt Lee to the Grand Jury for the
murder of Mary Phagan, put out the
dragnet for witnesses.
A batch of subpenas were Issued
for the witnesses to appear in his of
fice to give testimony in the case of
“The State vs. John Doe.”
After a long conference with De
tectives Starnes and Campbell. Solici
tor Dorsey asserted that action on
the part of the Grand Jury might bo
expected any time after Friday. He
plainly intimated that a special ses
sion of the jury might be convened
Saturday to consider the Phagan
murder.
The Solicitor declared as he left the
court house with a private detective
whose name he refused to divulge
that he anticipated the development
of startling evidence before night,
which, he said, would clear matters
materially.
Dorsey Questions Newt Lee.
With the private detective the So
licitor went to the Tower and was
closeted with Newt I>ee, the night
watchman, for more than an hour.
The form of the subpena is taken
to mean that many of the witnesses
will submit their sworn testimony
before the Solicitor General, who will
thus have it in documentary form, in
stead of going before the Grand Jury
to give oral testimony. However, it
will be necessary for the material or
indicting witnesses to go before the
Grand Jurors in person.
“Jhe investigation has Just be
gun.'’ said Chief of Detectives Lan-
ford Friday, in discussing the action
of the Coroner's jury. “We were
confident we had presented suffici
ent evidence to warrant the holding
of the two suspects in the case, but
we will have much more when the
case gets into the courts.
Have Strong Theory Already.
"We are going to continue right on
with the investigation and try to dig
down to the full truth of the mys
tery. We have a strongly supported
theory as to who committed the
crime, but we are ready at any time
to change our opinions as soon ae
the evidence points in another direc
tion.
Tt will be possible, with the rush
and hurry of the Corolla
IF TIFF BILL
Received From House and Re
ferred—Hearings Are Secret.
Expect Vote in Nine Weeks.
WASHINGTON, May ». S-u.ro r
Bois Penrose, Republican, began the
senate fight on the Underwood tariff
bill as soon as it was introduced to
day in the senate. Senator Simmon’,
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee moved that the bill be referred
to his committee for consideration.
Penrose immediately offered a moll n
to amend Senator Simmons’ motion
to provide for public hearings on the
bill before the finance committee.
Senator Smith, of Michigan, pre
dicted that the bill would bring about
the same conditions that existed 20
years ago and asserted that the ef
forts of a ' political doctrinaire” re
ferring to Secretary of Commerce
Redfleld. could not prevent factories
from cutting wages or closing their
doors.
In the Finance Committee the
schedule was assigned to sub-corn;
mittee No. 3, composed of Senators
Stone. Thomas, James and Simmons,
and the wool. schedule to No. 2—>
Senators Williams, Shively, Gore and
Simmons. The remaining schedules
were divided equally between sub
committees 1, 2 and 3.
Hearings on the* bill will be behind
closed doors, the Democrats having
decided that public hearings would
consume too much time. Ji is ex
pected that three weeks will be used
by the committee in considering the
measures, and six weeks more in de
bate on the floor.
It also is considered certain that
a number of changes will be made in
the measure, necessitating its refer
ence to the conference of the House
and Senate members.

night the vote was 281 to 129, five
Democrats voting against the bill and
two Republicans voting for it. Four
