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.

the fight will have to be made in the

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.

HAS SOLD OUT I
lalmto be a Democrat But
Really a Republican
IE NAMES THE PRICE
or Which He Is Willing to Sell Out
the Farmers and Other Residents
of the South, and Is Loudly Applauded
Time and Again by the
Republicans.
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

"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

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. You will realize
$75 a month some times and
other times there is $25 a month.
Capt. Craig was a native of Pittsburg
and at one time owned considerable
real estate in Atlanta, Ga.,
