SKILL IN CRIME.
Notable Race Between the Burglar
and the Inventor.
Crime keeps pace with civilization,
changes in the habits and customs of
mankind lead to new offenses, while
some good old stand-bys have become
unpopular. First, some cautious
person invented an iitrn bujg-..
? * lar-proof safe; immediately, declares
a writer in Appleton's, the cracksman
invented himself. This declared
a war of wits between the safemaker
and the safe-breaker. The
door to the original safe fitted in
straight, like any ordinary door.
They were so easy to open, by means
of a jimmy, that they did not fur^
if nish the burglar with common
amusement. It was unsportsmanf%,
like. The wedge-shaped door was
somewhat more difficult, until the
cracksman found a way to manage
? 11. 1UC11 iUi. XJU ttuiui uvouvu vp
combination lock, and thought he
had utterly outwitted the thief. But
the no less ingenious thief bought
him one, and mercilessly studied out
its weakness. At first he did not at??&?*?
tempt to break the lock, but devoted
himself to blowing it open. This
was child's play. He puttied up the
crack all the way around the door,
except a tiny hole at top and bottom.
At the bottom hole he set a small
gst;* shelf of very fine powder. To the
% top hole he attached a vacuum
- pump. By exhausting the air from
|?,. the safe he created a strong current
at the lower hole, which sucked in
the powder. Then he fired the safe.
? ' That was all.
The safemaker' met this advanced
- s" method by corrugating the door to
his safe and fitting it with rubber,
so as to make it air tight. The
man tnnt nnnthpr twist, in his
(VlttVAOUJlHU VVN/U VMw ..
art, used acid, destroyed the rubber,
and again blew open the safe. As
safe doors w*ere made harder and
harder, so did Mr. Cracksman make
his drills of finer and finer temper.
But all of these methods were accompanied
by more or less noise, and
the cracksman dislikes notoriety.
So he began to experiment with the
combination lock and speedily found
a means to open it. The cracksman
took the little finger on his left hand
and kept it bandaged foi weeks so
v as to make it highly sensitive to the
touch. Then he pared his nail down
into the very quick, laying the nerve
centres bare. Thus without drills or
powder he was able to open a safe
by placing the sensitive end of his
finger against the lock, while he
slowly turned the combination. So
keen and delicate had his sense of
touch become that he could feel
when each tumbler dipped into position.
The safe would be opened,
rifled and closed again, leaving no
sign to show how the trick was
turned. The cracksman was tickled
mightily with the mystery and bewilderment
he left behind him.
The safemaker invented new
safes, one after another, which could
j|t-? not be broken in the same old way;
V the high-grade cracksman bought
> them, one after another, took them
to his quiet workshop, studied every
detail of their construction, and
found new ways to break them. Neckto
neck ran the armorplate of protec^
tion and the high-power guns of atgggfe
tack.
SHOOTING NEAR UNGER'S.
Pis
Anderson Brothers Probably Fatally
-v " Wounded by John Warren.
Saluda, April 5.?In the early
hours of Sunday morning two miles
east of Saluda, near Unger's, John
Warren shot John Anderson and
"Bige" Anderson, brothers, and it is
nrobable both of them will die
* ?t r
from the wounds. Details as to the
cause of the shooting are unobtainable.
Warren and the Andersons
? are young white men and until now
were never known to be in any serious
trouble.
Dr. 0. P. Wise was called to attend
the wounded men about three
o'clock Sunday morning and found
one of them near Warren's house
with a sheet spread over him, and
further down the road in the edge
of the field, with a quilt over him,
v lay the other wounded man. Both
of them had bled profusely and were
almost dead from loss of blood and
the cold to which they were exposed.
One of the Andersons was shot from
/ the front, the ball passing through
the lung. The other one was shot
from the rear and the ball likewise I
passed through his lung.
Each of them had one wound
only. Neither of the wounded men!
has anything much to say about the j
affair.
It is not known where Warren is. !
It is said his coat is pretty badly
cut.

Washington, April 5.?The wind- ^
ing-up commission of the State dis- c
pensary will be able now to proceed t
with its investigation without inter- J
ference by Judge Pritchard or any s
other federal court. The receiver- (
ship is destroyed and the injunction
against the commission dissolved by
order of the United States supreme
A ^ 1_ i? ? J A/I
court, WHICH ILL a UCUBiuu iiauutu
down to-day takes the position that the
commission created by the legislature
is a direct representative of
the State of South Carolina. To sue
it or to proceed against it in any c
court is a proceeding against the
State of South Carolina, which, says 1
the supreme court, is a violation of "*
the 11th amendment to the federal a
constitution. Justice White read the j
decision, which winds up with this
paragraph: c
"Deciding as we do that the suits t
in question were suits against the t
State of South Carolina, and within
the inhibition of the 11th amend- j
ment, the decree of the circuit court
of appeals is reversed, the decree of y
the circuit court is also reversed, *
and the cause remanded to that ^
court with instructions to dismiss c
the bills of complaint." c
Chief Justice Fuller, who sat with E
the circuit court of appeals and
whose decision in that court is today
reversed, did not participate in today's
decision. T. M. Mordecai, chief
counsel for the whiskey house com
plainants, was in the court room t
when ^thew words fell from the lips *
of Justice White, and completely
flabbergasted, he went out and toote
the train for Charleston. It is a vie- f
tory for Attorney General Lyon and
his associate counsel, none of whom,
however, were here. I
The decision is 13 printed pages 1
long, going into a complete nistory from
a legal standpoint of the State
dispensary from its first creation and
of course, reciting the history of the
case in question, which is a writ of
certiorari to the United States circuit
court of appeals of the fourth
circuit.
Story of the Case.
The story of the celebrated case is
in brief as follows:
The commission appointed by the
governor under authority of t.he legislature
to wind up the State dispensary
affairs, take charge of all
funds, and pay all just claims, not
being satisfied with some of the
claims presented by certain liquor
houses, undertook to make a thorough
investigation of the circumstances
and conditions of the sales of
liquor to the dispensary officials.
Certain liquor concerns, especially
the Wilson Distilling Company and
the Fleischrnan Company, protested
against this proceeding and refused
to produce their books. These concerns
at the same time complained to
Judge Pritchard of the fourth United
States district, and petitioned for an
injunction against the commission's
further procedure and also for a receiver
to take charge of the affairs
of the dispensary. Both of these petitions
Judge Pritchard granted, issued
the 'injunction and appointed
' * - - Til 1 1.^
me receivers. liie uau&s iu nuiv/u
the commission had deposited the
dispensary funds, as well as the commission,
were restrained from paying
out any of the dispensary money
except upon the order of the receivers.
The dispensary commission in obedience
to this order refused to pay
over to Attorney General Lyon the
$15,000 ordered by the legislature
to be paid to the attorney general
for the purpose of prosecuting cases
against those charged with fraud in
connection with the dispensary. . Mr.
Lyon went to the supreme court of
the State, which, deciding that the
winding up commission, as a representative
of the State, was not bound
to obey Judge Pritchard's injunction,
ordered the $15,000 paid. The attorney
general then asked the United
States circuit court of appeals, sitting
at Richmond, to dissolve the injunction
and the receivership of
Judge Pritchard. The circuit court ?
of appeals denied this petition. The
case was brought to the United
States supreme court on a writ of
certiorari with the result as stated
above. t
State Retained Rights. '
The position of Judge Pritchard c
was that the State of South Carolina j
when it appointed the winding up g
commission completely divested (
itself of all its rights of immunity r
from suits in law by citizens of other j
States, which is forbidden by the
11th amendment. He said that this
commission was simply a trustee for '
certain funds and as such was on ?
the same footing exactly as trustees :
of any other funds. Upon this point j
the supreme court in its decision j
says:
"Considering the text of the winding
up act, we are of the opinion
that there is no just ground for the
conclusion that the State, in pro- y
viding by that legislation for the
liquidation of the affairs of the dispensary,
intended to divest itself of
its rights of property in the assets .
of that governmental agency and to ,
endow the commission with a right \
and title to the property which
placed it so beyond the control of )
the State as to authorize a judicial
tribunal to take the assets of the .
i State out of the hands, of those se- ,
lected to manage the same, and by !
I means of a receiver to administer j
such assets as property affected by a ,
trust, irrevocable in its nature, and c
thus to dispose of the same without \
the presence of the State."
That being a fair sample of the j
long drawn out style of the decision,
I will give no more. . The supreme ]
court justices are not unlike other ,
lawyers in the habit of using about
17 words to every really necessary ,
one. f
Receivership "S-ambusticated." \
Just take it from me then that <
the receivership and the injunction i
of Judge Pritchard are both slam- 1
; *
-msticated
and the winding-up comnission
is now "it."
W. J. Murray, John McSween and
Vvery Patton are the only three
liembers of it in good standing, two
)thers, Messrs. Henderson and
Arthur, having resigned to take positions
as receivers, which jobs they
vill not now need any longer. Gov.
^.nsel will have to appoint two othkro

The commission will have about

laims. If they find any fraud has

*ay the claims, and Attorney General
?yon may have a chance to put
omebody in jail.?Zach McGhee, in

ORIENTAL METHODS.
1 Turkish Liberal Strangled and His
Head Sent to Abdul-Hamid.
In a recent number of the Ameri:an
Magazine, N. C. Adossides wrote,
rom personal observations and prirate
knowledge, a remarkable charicter
sketch of the sultan of Turkey.
Lmong other things he told a story
>f how the sultan is known to have
aken human life with his own
lands. The article was called in
[uestion by a Pittsburg critic. Here
s a part of Mr. AdoSsides's answer:
"I ask you before going further, if
ou know the sultan personally. If
ou answer yes, then I shall hasten
o reply that if his majesty has enihanted
and delighted you with his
:unning, charming manner, you are
tot the only dupe of Abdul-Hamid,
? hundreds of people that I could
(numerate to you have been in the
ame manner deceived by this tricky,
genial, Asiatic despot. The sultan's
iruel and criminal policy is nothing
o the world. I shall even call it a
dstory of the past which has been
tigmatized by all fair people of Jiunane*
feeling that love justice and
reedom.
"I should rather advise you to
ead the Blue Books of the British
oreign omce puDiisnea in i?vo,
906 and 1907, and also become faniliar
with the speechec by the
;reat old Mr. Gladstone; in the
louse of commons as prime minister
>f Great Britain he had the courage
.0 call Abdul-Hamid 'the greatest as;assin
of all assassins.'
"Can you deny to me, sir, the Arnenian
massacres, or are you aware
hat 360,000 people have been annililated
by Abdul-Hamid and his
idious, criminal camarilla? If you
lo not deny the Armenian massacres,
low then, can you defend AbdulHamid,
and be astonished for my
laying that he has killed this young
IJircassan odalisque for a trifling insident
which I have described in this
irticle of mine and which was narrated
to me by a Turkish ambassador
low abroad at one of the European
courts, who was on duty in the lob)ies
of the palace the night of the
>ccurrence.
"Besides, sir, you must not forget
;hat not only the Armenians have
iuffered by this tyranny of political
md racial suffocation. The Mohamnedans
also, the Turks themselves,
lave endured untold agonies of
vbich the world knows little; but
;he time is coming when these things
vill become public for the benefit of
ill.
"I advise you to read the memoirs
>f the great Liberal Prime Minister
didhat Pasha, the father of the Ottonan
constitution, a personal friend
)f my late father, with whom he had
vorked a great many years, ana iei;ers
of whom are to-day in my pos-'
session. I advise you to read this
>ook, because I want you to read the
story told by his son as how his
ather, Midhat Pasha, was strangled
md his head sent to Abdul-Hamid,
n order that he would be certain
hat this great, liberal man, an obstacle
to himself, had disappeared.
"Before closing I must add that
rou are one of the very, very few deenders
of Abdul-Hamid left on the
surface of the earth. His greatest
ascals, who have stolen and robbed
lim for thirty years, hate him. We
lave suffered too much in order not
;o be irritated at the idea that
\.bdul-Hamid could be defended."

YOUTH ATTEMPTS BLACKMAIL.
Tries to Extort Money From Asa G.
Candler.
Atlanta, Ga., April 6.?Charged
with attempting to blackmail Asa G.
Candler, president of the Atlanta
chamber of commerce and banker,
and Atlanta's wealthiest citizen, out
of $35,000 by "Black Hand" methods,
Daniel W. Johnson, Jr., 18
years old, and a member of Candler's
Sunday-school class, was arrested tonight
at the instance of postoffice inspectors
and lodged in the Fulton
county jail.
Johnson admits writing the letters
and takes his arrest very coolly. He,
however, declares that he was the
catspaw of three strangers, who, he
claims, dictated his every action in1
connection with the affair and forced j
him to write the demands for money J
under penalty of death. He furnish-;
ed 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 j
will meet a horrible death at our i
hands." Sunday he received a sec- j
ond letter, warning him to comply j
with the demands and further threatening
him and his family if he fail
ed to comply of 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 blackmailers.
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.
Another Letter.
This morning Mr. Candler received
a message demanding that he place
$1,000 at a secluded spot on More
land avenue, between Annabel and
Walker avenues. Again a fake package
was prepared and placed at the
spot designated to-night, and Johnson
appeared from the darkness,
grabbed 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 taken to the "Tower" and
after a grueling 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,
warning Mr. Candler that if he failed
to put the sum at the spot indicated
"you alone shall meet death.
Tell any one 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 face 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 in close up 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 I
nvar thp inridpnt. and it was stated I
to-night that he would lose no sleep
over fears of his home being dynamited.
Cuts Wife's Throat.
Asheville, N. C., April 3.?While
his wife lay ill. Lawrence Conley,
who lives about three miles from Marion,
attempted to kill her by slashing
her throat with her razor. She is
in a precarious condition but may recover.
Her ten-day-old child was in the
bed with her when the attempt was
made on her life, but wa3 uninjured.
Conley escaped and has not been
found, though officers are searching
for him. He was always regarded
as a peaceable character and no motive
for his act can be ascribed.
As far as is known, the husband
and wife had never quarreled. Mrs.
Conley was a Miss Corpening and
comes of a prominent family.

KILLED BY SISTER-IN-LAW.
Amos Shot by Mrs. William Campbell?Dead
Man Unarmed.
Roanoke, Va., April 5.?A special
from Buena Vista, Va., says Henry
W. Amos, of that place, was to-day
shot and killed by his sister-in-law,
Mrs. William Campbell. Amos' wife
recently left him and went to the
Campbell home to live with her sister.
When Amos returned to Buena
Vista to-day from Richmond he called
at the Campbell residence and
sought a reconciliation with his wife.
The latter refused to go with her
husband and a quarrel followed.
Mrs. Campbell fired several shots
from a revolver at Amos, none of
them taking effect. She then secured
a shotgun and discharged it at
Amos at close range, the contents
taking effect in Amos' body, killing
him. It is said Amos was not armed.
Illicit Distillery Raided.
Bennettsvile, April 6.?H. P.
Meekins, the local United States
deputy marshal, who is a most efficient
official, a few days ago located
an illicit distillery in the sand hills
of this county. He notified Revenue
Agent Wallace, of Columbia, and he
arrived here on last night's 10
o'clock train and was met by Deputy
Meekins. These two officials, with a
small posse, proceeded 15 miles into
the sand hills, where, with little
