VERY BOLD PLOT To Blackmail a Rich Man of Atlanta Failed THE TRAP PREPARED By Detectives Proves Effective ami an Eighteen-Year-Old Youth, a Member of His Would-be Victim's Sunday School Class, Is Caught and Confesses It All. Atlanta, Ga., April 6.?Charged with attempting to blackmail Asa G. C ndler, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, banker, and Atlanta's wealthiest citizen, out of $35,000 by "Black Hand" methods, Daniel W. Johnson, Jr., IS years old and a member of Mr. Candler's Sunday school class, was arrested tonight at the instance of the postoffice . inspectors and lodged in the Fulton county jail. Johnson admits writing the letters and takes his arrest very cooly. He, however, declares that he was the catspaw of three strangers, who, he claims, dictated his every action in connection with the affair and forced him to write the demands for money under penalty of death. He furnished the officers with a description of the three men. On Friday of last week Mr. Candler received the first of the two letters written by the "Black Hand" plotters, in which he was asked to place $35,000 under the steps of the pastor's study of the Inman Park Methodist church, on Monday night, April 5, "or you and your family will meet a horrible death at our hands." Sunday he received a second letter warning him to comply with the demands, and further threatening him and his family if hie failed to comply, or if he made mention of the matter to a living soul. Mr. Candler called George M. Sutton, chief postoffice inspector of the Atlanta division, in consultation, and it was decided to trap the blackmailer. Mr. Candler drew $35,000 in cash from the bank, of which he Is president, so as to guard against any possible betrayal of his plans. Monday night he made up a package and placed it at the point designated, the real money in the meantime remaining at his residence guarded by detectives. Two detectives kept watch near where the fake package was placed, but no one appeared during the night for the package. This merning Mr. Candler received a telephone message demanding that he place $1,000 at a secluded spot on Moreland avenue, between Annabel street and Walker alley. Again a fake package was prepared and placed at the spot designated tonight, and Johnson appeared from the darkness, grabbed up the package and started on a run, but was in the grasp of Detectives Lockhart and Coker before he was aware that he had been observed. He was then taken to the Tower, and after a gruelling examination made a confession, admitting having written the two letters, but saying he acted under compulsion. The police give little credence to his story of having been forced to write the letters by three strangers. The first letter, dated April 1, warned Mr. Candler that if he failed to put the sum at the spot indicated, "you alone shall meet death. Tell anyone of It and you and your house ?that is, all that live with'you? shall meet the most horrible death at our hands. Pony up with the sum and keep your fape closed about It, and all will be well. Fail to put the sum there or blab it, and hell will be to pay?nothing more nor less than death." The second letter advised Mr. Candler to "slide up close to the side of the steps and put it under them, and then '23' as hard as you can. Do not fail, or you will be blown to 'kingdom come' before day Tuesday, April 6." Mr. Candler was little disturbed over the incident, and it was stated lomgni mat ne would lose no sleep over fears of his home being dynamited. TIKE I) OF LIFE. One of Philadelphia's Richest Men Takes His Life. Philadelphia, April 6.?Charles E. Ellis, president of the Citizens' Passenger Railway Company, and one of the wealthiest men in Philadelphia, shot and killed himself today at his home in this city.

J' WILL FIGHT DUTY OX SENATOR TILLMAN RESTS CI HOPE OF THE FARMERS. Lever and Coljeagues Cannot Get Hearings, but? Opportunity for || Reopening Question May Arise. Columbia, April 6.?The Record says it is likely that Senator Tillman, who has been at his home in Trenton several weeks resting, will go on to Washington in a few days to take up the fight in the senate against the provision in the tariff bill increasing the duty on German potash?an item " that means a tax of $200,000 on the farmers of this State. The present outlook is that Con- ** gressman Lever and the other mem- of bers of the house from South Caro- ai Una will not get a chance at the prop- pi osition under the rules, In which case . the fight will have to be made in the senate by Senator Tillman and Smith and other Southern senators. in Under the rules the matter cannot be corrected by amendment from the is floor of the house, and as it Is pro- m posed to shove the bill through the ta nouse at an eariy aate, it is extremely cl doubtful whether Mr. Lever will tl even get a chance to speak on the w amendment, particularly as he can- g< not get the floor except through one el of the party leaders. R Commissioner Watson is being ma- cl terially assisted in gathering facts ir and data showing the effect the duty a: will have upon the farming interests, tl not only of this State, but of the hi ' entire South, and these statistics are tc being hurried into shape for Mr. ir Lever as rapidly as possible. State Geologist Sloan, who is a t( practical fertilizer man of many sj years' experience, is in Charleston tl today to fortify himself on the situ- o: ation from the fertilizer standpoint, a after a conference with Commission- tl er Watson. w d NEGRO GIVEN" LOXG TERM ci tl For the Outrageous Treatment of a White Woman.

She was rescued t; by the police who had been notified tj of th-e matter by another negro -l? roomer in the house. The woman, ^ hospital physicians testified today, is a physical wreck as the result of her experience. Several times while testifving today to the revolting nature of her experiences she collapsed on the stand.

Washington, April 5.?In the ouse today Mr. Clark, Democrat, .' Florida, got a round of Republican jplause, when he said that Incident otection absolutely was necessary . certain cases. "Are you a protectionist or not?" quired Mr. Randall, of Texas. Mr. Clark declared that all leglation was the result of comproise. "I don't expect to write the iriff bill for this majority," he exaimed, "but I say to you that if tey put into this bill what my people ant, what they sent me here to 3t, I shall not dictate to them what se they shall put into it." The epublicans again applauded and leered, and the House was thrown ito an uproar when Mr. Randall sked "if the gentleman believs in le doctrine that if a Representative ere gets some of the swag, he ought ) go with the Republicans in makig this bill?" Mr. Clark took violent exception > the use of the work "swag," and ild that as long as the people of le South had to bear the burdens i the protective tariff system they t least ought to have a division of le benefits. "Call it swag if you ill," he said, "hut I represent a istrict equaly as intelligent, as snscientious and as patriotic as does ie gentleman from Texas." "Are you a protectionist or not?" [r. Randall still wanted to know. Speaking slowly and gradually raisig his voice to its highest pitch, [r. Clark evoked thunderous Repubcan applause when he declared "I m in line with the Democratic par7. but I am not in line with the opulistic element that has controlld it recently." Mr. Clark quoted from the resoltion of the recent Democratic cauiis, which declared that the members f the minority were left free to vote s they choose on constitutional uestions, and also when instructed y their constituency to pursue a cerlin line of action. He called attenon to memorials of the Florida Leg Iature, that a duty be put on Egyplon and other long staple cotton oming into the United States in cmnection with the sea island cotsn; also that a duty be put on cit us fruits, pineapples and the like, and," he exclaimed, "I am instructd in that regard, and no hawkers nd opinionated Democrats can make le violate a solemn obligation 1 we." Mr. Rucker (Missouri) interrupted ) call attention to the fact that all lie thunderous applause had come om the Republican side, but the hair admonished him that he was ut of order. "The gentleman can't urt me by those things," said Mr. lark. "The people of my district now me." Laboring under the l>elief that tr. Clark's remarks about Populism pplied to him, Mr. Randall denied lat any Populism was contained in is record.

"I am ot for protection per se." "Did you intend for the House and le country to understand that the emocracy is in any way affiliated ith Populism?" was Mr. Randall's irther question, but the reply oi le Floridian threw the House into frenzy. "I will tell you what I want tne mntry to understand," he said deberately. "We don't intend, so far ; I am concerned, and I believe the ?ople I represent, to follow your ebraska Populistic leader any ore." "Does the gentleman stand with ie New Jersey Democrat that thinks rayn knew too much of the decague to be President of the United .ates?" propounded Mr. Randall. "I think," responded Mr. Clark, ith somfi feeling-. "that tho South n Democracy never made a greater istake than when it turned its hack 1 its Democratic friends in the East iat it has driven from the party, and sd up with Populism out in Nebrasi." Mr. Randall declared that Mr. Rry1 needed no defence at his hands, id asked Mr. Clark if he was a leveland Democrat on the tariff id if he stood for the doctrine of ee raw materials. "I am just a plain, old-fashion?d 5mocrat," drawled Mr. Clark, amid outs of laughter.

BADLY BROKEN j~ I Democratic Party Lines Are Out Of Alinement PROTECTIVE TARIFF . Voted for by Some Democrats in ' the House?Messrs. Lever and Eli lerbe Favor Duties on Lumber. t Other South Carolina Members ? Vote Against Schedule. 5 ; Washington, April 6.?Zack McGee writes as follows to The State: To take the tariff off lumber so as ! to cheapen it for the consumers was . not made a party fight today and the 5 situation is so peculiar with the du ties already in the 6ill on what the lumberman buys, as well as on what i . all the rest of us buy, that there is - no special significance in the votes - in the house on the various amend ments to the lumber schedules. 1 A large number of Southern Dem- m ocrats voted against the amendment " J to make rough lumber free and to i 1 reduce the tariff on all other grades ' 1 of lumber. ' Messrs. Hardwick, Howard, Hughes, and Bartlett of Georgia stood out for free lumber. The ^ - South Georgians, Edwards, Brantley i and Griggs, together with Coh Liv, ingston and Judge Adamson, voted f straight through for protection on lumber. Of the South Carolinians, Messrs. 1 Johnston and Aiken voted out and ' s out for free lumber. Messrs.

Mr. Eller- j t ha vnteri straight throueh against s free lumber. Messrs. Patterson and Legare were absent. Mr. Patterson has not been well for several weeks. The North Carolinians, except Mr. j Kitchen, voted straight for protection on lumber. The other Southern States were similarly divided, practicaly every man who had any lumber interests -1 in his district, regardless of party, y voted in the interests of the proy ducer rather than the consumer. < r? This, of course, delighted the Re- ( e publicans, who like to have the op- ( e portunity to taunt Democrats with ? i- voting for protection of the producer. a Mr. Clark of Florida, who yester- j Pi day boldly announced that he was f d for protection on what his district j >. produced and would vote for the j r Payne bill if he got that regardless I. of what alse the bill contained, felt . s that he was vindicated today by the ! ,f act of other Democrats on the lumber J j ichedule and* he taunted some of s those who yesterday taunted him. ( g Champ Clark, the minority leader, | , voted straight through for free lum- . j' ber in accordance with the Denver platform.
