. VERY BOLD PLOT] To Blackmail a Rich Man of ? Atlanta Failed THE TRAP PREPARED 1 By Detective* Proves Effective and a 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 ofCommerce, banker, and Atlanta's wealthiest citizen, out of I $35,000 by "Black Hand" methods, 1 Daniel W. Johnson, Jr., 18 years old I and a member of Mr. Candler's Sun- , day school class, was arrested tonight at the instance of the postofllce inspectors and lodged in the Fulton county Jail. Johnson admits writing the letters and takes his arrest very cooly. He, however, declares that ho 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 thr 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 be failed to comply, or if he made mintion of the matter to a living soul. Mr. Candler called George M. Sutton, chief postofllce 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 ho is president, bo as lo 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 tho sum and keep your fn^o closed about it, and all will be well. Fail to put the sum there or blab 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 nnd put It under them, and then *23' as hard as you can. Do not fall, 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 tonight that he would lose no sleep over fearB of his home being dynamited. TIRED OP LIFE.

April 6.?The Record jj ays it is likely that Senator Tillman, vho has been at hia home in Trenion teveral weeks resting, will go on to Washington in a tew days to take ip the tight in the senate against the provision in the tariff bill increasing he duty on Cerman potash?an item .hat means a tax of $200,000 on the farmers of this State. The present outlook is that Con- * pressman Lever and the other mem- c bers of the house from South Caro- a Una will not get a chance at the prop- . nolilnn *U- ? - -? w.nuu uuuci iut) rums, in wmcn case j the fight will have to be made in the senate by Senator Tillman and Smith and other Southern senators. 1 Under the rules the matter cannot be corrected by amendment from the i floor of the house, and' as it Is pro- i posed to Bhove the bill through the t house at an early date, It is extremely < doubtful whether Mr. Lever will t even get a chance to speak on the i amendment, particularly as he can- j not get the floor except through one ? of the party leaders. ] Commissioner Watson Is being ma- < tertally assisted In gathering facts ] and data showing the effect the duty i will have upon the farming interests, I not only of this State, but of the ] entire South, and these statistics are I being hurried into shape for Mr. Lever as rapidly ari* possible.

Washington, April 5.?In the louse today Mr. Clark, Democrat, if Florida, got a round of Republican ipplause, when he said that'Incident >rotectlon absolutely was necessary n certain cases. "Are you a protectionist or not?" nqulred Mr. Randall, of Texas. Mr. Clark declared that all legslation was the result of coinproni8e. "I don't expect to write the :ariff bill for this majority," he ex :lalmed, "but I say to you that if .hoy put into this bill what my people want, what they Bent me here to set, I shall not dictate to them what also they shall put into it." The Republicans again applauded and sheered, and the House was thrown Into an uproar when Mr. Randall asked "If the gentleman believe in the doctrine that if a Representative here gets some of the swag, he ought to go with the Republicans iu making this bill?" Mr. Clark took violent exception to the use of the work "swag," and said that as loug as the people of the South had to bear the burdens of the protective tariff system they j at least ought to have a division of the benefits. "Call it swag if you will," ho said, "but 1 represent a district equaly as intelligent, as conscientious and as patrlotio as does the gentleman from Texas." "Are you a protectionist or not?" Mr. Randall still wanted to know. Speaking slowly and gradually raising his voico to its highest pitch, Mr. Clark evoked thunderous Republican applause when he declared "I am In line with the Democratic party, but I am not in line with the Populistlc element that has controlled it recently." Mr. Clark quoted from the resolution of the recent Democratic caucus, which declared that the members of the minority were left free to vote as they choose oa constitutional questions, and also when instructed by their constituency to pursue a certain line of action. He called attentipn to memorials of the Florida Legislature, that a duty bo put on Egyptlon and other long Btaple cotton coming into the United States in connection with the sea island cotton; also that a duty be put on citrous fruits, pineapples and the like, "and," he exclaimed, "I am instruct ed in that regard, and no hawkers and opinionated Democrats can make me violate a solemn obligation 1 owe." Mr. Rucker (Missouri) interrupted to call attention to the fact that all the thunderous applause had come from the Republican side, but the Chair admonished him that he wbb out of order. "The gentleman can't hurt me by those things," Bald Mr. Clark. "The people of my district know me." Laboring under the belief that Mr. Clark's remarks about Populism applied to him, Mr. Randall denied that any Populism was contained in his record. Mr. Clark, in reply to that, said he merely wanted to state where he himself stood. "I stand on my platform," he exclaimed. "I am not for protection per se." "Did you intend for the House and the country to understand that the Democracy Is in any way affiliated with Populism?" was Mr. Randall's further question, but the reply ol the Florldian threw the House into a frenzy. "I will tell you what I want tnc country to understand," he said deliberately. "We don't Intend, so far as I am concerned, and I believe the people I represent, to follow your Nebraska Po^ulistlc leader any more." "Does the gentleman stand with the New Jersey Democrat that thinks Brayn knew too much of the decalogue to be President of the United States?" propounded Mr. Randall. "I think," responded Mr. Clark, with some feeling, "that the Southern Democracy never made a greater mistake than when it turned its back on its Democratic friends in the Bant mat ji iiaa ariven rrom the party, and tied up with Populism out in Nebraska." Mr. Randall declared that Mr. Bryan needed no defence at his hands, and asked Mr. Clark If he was a Cleveland Democrat on the tariff and if he stood for the doctrine of free raw materials. "I am just a plain, old-fashion?d Democrat," drawled Mr. Clark, amid shouts of laughter. Declaring that the people who assumed to speak for tho South were not entitled to that right, Mr. Clark said: Finley Gets into the Game. "I am sick and tired of bearing my Southern colleagues talk of the poor men of the 8outh.' I want '.o do something to take them out of :hat class. The factories of the East ire going to the South, where their 'aw material is to be found, where Ivlng la cheap, so that we can soon lefy the world in the cheapness of :heir manufacture." Replying to a juestlon by Mr. Finley, of South Car>liua. Mr. Clark said that if the Republican party would put in the bill ^hat his people had instructed him :o get, h? would rota for the bill ANOTHER TORNADO ABERDEEN, MISS., BADLY DAMV AGED BY ONE. Fir?

"Have you no convictions?" asked Mr. Finley. "I have," responded Mr. Clark, "on convictions of men who represent nothing but a short bale of cotton, a nigger and a mule." Thunderous applause on the Republican side interrupted the speaker, and when quiet was restored he continued: "The Democracy ought to be progressive if it Is anytlng. It ought to keep abreast of the times. It ought to meet conditions as they And them. I do not consider that you, gentlemen," hs declared, looking around on the Democratic side of the House, "represent Democracy any more than I do. We will meet at the next National Convention, and we will then see who is to control and who will represent the Democratic sentiment of this great Republic of ours." BADLY BROKEN I \ . - : Democratic Party Linos Are Out Of Allnement PROTECTIVE TARIFF r. - __________ Voted for by Some Democrat* in the House?Messrs. Lever and Ellerbe Favon Duties on Lumber. ' Other South Carolina Members Vote Against Schedule. Washington, April 6.?Zack McQee 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 situation is so peculiar with the duties already in the bill on what the lumberman buys, as well as on what all the rest of us buy, that there is no special significance in the votes in the house on the various amendments to the lumber schedules. A large number of Southern Democrats voted against the amendment to make rough lumber free and to reduce the tariff on all other grades of lumber. ' Messrs. Hardwick, Howard, Hughes, and Bartlett of Georgia stood out for free lumber. The South Georgians, Edwards, Brantley and Griggs* together with Col. Livingston and Judge Adamson, voted straight through for protection on lumber. Of the South Carolinians, Messrs. Johnston and Aiken voted out and out for free lumber. Messrs. Flnley and Lever voted on the rising vote, Finley for free lumber, Lever against it, but neither voted at all when tellers were called for. Mr. Ellerbe voted straight through against tree lumber. Messrs. Patterson and Legare were absent. Mr. Patterson has not been well for Beveral weeks. The North Carolinians, except Mr. Kitchen, voted Btralght for protection on lumber. The other Southern States were similarly divided, practlcaly every man who had any lumber interests iu (118 uiBirici, regaruiess or party, voted in the Interests of the producer rather than the consumer. This, of course, delighted the Republicans, who like to have the opportunity to taunt Democrats with voting for protection of the producer. Mr. Clark of Florida, who yesterday boldly announced that he wae for protection on what his distrlet produced and would vote for the Payne bill if he got that regardless of what else the bill contained, felt i that he was vindicated today by the ; act of other Democrats on the lumber schedule and he taunted some oi , those who yesterday taunted hiru. Champ Clark, the minority leader, voted straight through for free lumber in accordance with the Denvoi platform. KILLS TWO MORE. I Smallpox at York Mill Seems to be Virulent Type. Yorkville, April 5.?There have been two more deaths from smallpox here during the twenty-four hours ending last night at 10 o'clock, making a total of six in all. The latest victims are a child of Klrby Pugh, ' the first person to die of the disease, and with whom it originated here 1 and a negro woman, who died in the ! outskirts of town and near the York 1 Cotton Mill village yesterday morning. Her caso was first reported tc the board of health on last Friday night. There have been ten cases in all reported so far, and six of them have resulted fatally. Seven of the ten cases developed in the mill village and the other three are traceable directly to the same source. There have been no new cases during the past week, except that of the colored woman who died today. The local physicians have been almost over whelmed during the pant week by persons seeking to he vaccinated, and it is believed that at this time there are very few who have not had the virus applied. KILLED HIMSELF. Reverse of Fortune Caused the Awful Dead. New York, April 5.?Leaving a letter addresed to his wife in which he explained his act by saying that reverse of fortune had cut down his competence until not enough of it was left for two, Chambers M. Cral/, a retired captain of the United States army, tonight committed suicide in his apartments by shooting. "The time has now arrived," said Capt. Craig in his letter, "when there must come the inevitable smast which always follows living beyond one's means. If the hard time had not not put an end to ray opportunities, 1 would have gone on for a year or more. I have- made a little money and left a little for you. I wish you the greatest happiness, and ^ wish I could remain with you; and I am confident that matters will be all right with you. But there is not enough for two.
