Ot.^-April 6,—Charged •’With attempting to blackmail Asa G. 1* C >udlur.-Stealdent of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, banker, and Atlanta's wealthiest citlaen, out of |35,000 by “Black Hand” methods, Daniel W. Johnson, Jr., 18 years old and a member of Mr. Candler's Sun day school class, was arrested to night at the Instance of the postoffice Inspectors and lodged lu 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 ev^ry action in connection with the affair and forced, him to write the demands for money under penalty of death. He furnish ed the officers with a description of the three men. On Friday of last W'fck Mr. Can dler received the first of the two let ters written by the “Black. Hand'’ plotters. In which he was asked to place 135,000 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 com ply with the demands, and further threatening him and his family If he failed to comply, or If he made mention of the mutter to a living soul. Mr. Candler called George M. Sut ton, chief poatofllce Inspector of the Atlanta division, in consultation, and tt-waa decided to trap the black — mailer. Mr. Candler drew 335,000 in cash from the bank, of which he is president, so us to guard against any possible betrayal of his plans Monday night he made up a package and placed it at the point designat ed. 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 dur ing the night for the package... This meriting Mr. Candler receiv ed a telephone message demanding that he place fl.OOO at a secluded spot on Moreland avenue, between Annabel afreet and Walker alley Again a fake package was prepared and placed at the spot designated tonight, and Johnson appeared front the darkness, grabbed up the pack age and started on a run, but was in the grasp of Detectives Lockhart and Coker before he was aware that he bad 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 po lice 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 ia, all that live with you — shall meet the most horrible death at our hands. Pony up with th<> sum and keep your flayo closed about if, and ail will lie 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 bo blown to ‘kingdom come' before day Tie s- day, April 6.” Mr. Candler was little disturbed "over the incident, and it w-as stated tonight that he would lose no sleep over fears of his home being dyna mited. 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 daya to take up the fight In the senate against the provlston in the tariff hill 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 bers of the house from South Caro lina will not get a chance at the prop 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. Under the rules the matter cannot be corrected by amendment from the floor of the hotuse, and as it is pro posed to shove the bill through the hbuae at an early date, It is extremely doubtful whether Mr. Lever will even get a chance to speak on the amendment, particularly as he can not get the floor except through one of the parly leaders. Commissioner Watson Is being ma terially assisted In gathering facts and data showing the effect the duty will have upon the farming Interests, nrtt only of this State, but of the entire South, and these statistics are being hurried Into shape for Mr. Lever as rapidly as possible. State Geologist Sloan, who is a practical fertilizer man of many years’ experience, Is In Charleston today to fortify himself on the situ ation from the fertilizer standpoint, after a conference with Commission er Watson. NEGRO GIVEN IA)N’G TERM For the Outrageous Treatment of a White Woman. Philadelphia, Pa., April 6.—Twen ty-five years’ imprisonment In the Eastern penitentiary and a $2,000 fine was the sentence imposed by Judge Barratt here today when George Washington, a negro, was convicted of holding Mrs. Ella Cur tin,’ white, a prisoner In his room and 111 treating and robbing her Mrs. Cutin wont to the negro's home to make arrangements to have her trunks moved to a storage house She alleged that Washington kept her a prisoner in his room from March 25 to 29.

Gregg Meets With Peculiar Ac- — —rtffpirt wiaTOwm.- For Which He Is Willing to gell Out the Fanners and Other Residents of the 8outh, and Is Loudly Ap plauded Time and Again by the Repobttmu. — Washington, AprlL In. the House today Mr. Clark, Democrat, of Florida, got a round of Republican applause, when he said that incident protection absolutely was necessary In certain cases. "Are you a protectionist or not?” Inquired Mr. Randall, of Texas. Mr. Clark declared that all leg Islatlon was the result of compro mlse. “I don’t expect to write the tariff bill for this majority,” he ex claimed, "but I say to you that if they put into this bill what my people want, what they sent me here to get, I shall not dictate to them what else they shall put into it.” The Republicans again applauded and cheered, and the House was thrown into an uproar when Mr. Randall asked ‘‘if the gentleman bellevs In the doctrine that If a Representative here gets some of the swag, he ought to go with the Republicans In mak Ing this bill?” .Mr. Clark took violent exception to the use of the work “swag," and said that as long as the people of the South had to bear the burdens of the protective tariff system they at least ought to have a division of the benefits. '‘Call It swag If you will,” he said, “but 1 represent a district equaly as IntelligenL as conscientious and as patriotic as does the gentleman from Texas.” "Are you a protectionist or not?’ Mr. Randall still wanted to know. Speaking slowly and gradually rais ing hts voice to its highest pitch Mr. Clark evoked thunderous Repub llcan applause when he declared am in line with the Democratic par ty. but I am not in line with the Populistic element that has control! ed it recently.” Mr. Clark quoted from the reso lution of the recent Democratic can cus, which declared that the members of the minority were left free to vote as they choose on constitutional questions, and also when Instructed by their constituency to pursue a cer tain line of action. He called atten tion to memorials of the Florida Leg islafure, that a duty be put on Egyp tlon and other long staple cotton coming into 1 the United States in connection with the sea island cot ton; also that a duty be put on cit rous 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 was out of order. “The gentleman can't hurt me by those things,” said Mr. Clark. “The people of my district know me.” Laboring under the Inilief that Mr. Clark's remarks about Populism applied to him, Me Randall denied that any Populism was contained in his record. Mr. Clark, in reply to thaf, said he merely wanted to state where he himself stood. “I stand on my platform," he exclaimed. 'T am not for protection per se.” “Did y?)u 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 ot the Floridian threw the House into a frenzy. ‘T will tell you what I want tno country to understand,” he said de liberately. “We don't intend, so far as I am concerned, and I believe the people I represent, to follow your Nebr,aska Populistic leader any more.” “Does the gentleman stand with the New Jersey Democrat that thinks Brayn knew too much of the deca logue to be President of the United States?” propounded-Mr. Randall. “I think,” responded Mr. Clark, with some feeling, “that the South ern Democracy never made a greater mistake than when it turned its back on its Democratic friends in the East that It has driven from the party, and tied up with Populism out in Nebras ka.” Mr. Randall declared that Mr. Bry an 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.

Voted for by Some Democrats in the House—Messrs. Lever and El- lerbe Favor Duties on Lumber. Other South Carolina Members Vote Against Scheduler — Washington, April 6.—-Zack Mc Gee 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 du ties already in the bill on what the lunlbermfth 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 amend ments to the lumber schedules. A large number of Southern Dem ocrats voted against the amendment to make rough lumber free and to reduce the tariff on all other gradqg 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. Liv ingston 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.- Finley 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. Eller- be voted straight through against free lumber. Messrs. Patterson and Legare were absent. Mr. Patterson has not been well for several weeks. The North Carolinians, except Mr Kitchen, voted straight for protec tion on lumber. The other Southern States were similarly divided, practicaly every man who had any lumber Interests in his district, regardless of party, voted in the interests of the pro ducer rather than the consumer. This, of course, delighted the Re publicans, who like to have the op portunity to taunt Democrats with voting for protection of the producer Mr. Clark of Florida, who yester day boldly announced that he was for protection on what his district produced and would vote for the Payne bill if he got that regardless of what else the bill contained, felt that he was vindicated today by the act of other Democrats on the lumber schedule and he taunted some of those who yesterday taunted him Champ Clark, the minority leader voted straight through for free lum ber In accordance with the Denver platform. 1813-1310 Main Street.
