Asks Senate to Probe Contracts
With Armor Plate Trust Which
Mulcted U, S. of Millions.
WASHINGTON, M • .

gefed the impfegnahilil j
foTmidable vesnels in t
fleet were made against
ministration to-day by
uret, of Arizona, who h i
before the'Senate caliii
vest iga lion of Class A
contracts awarded the
trust for the dreadnought
vania.
"My investigation of this matter,
said the Senator, "lias convinced me
that a most deplorable >tate of af
faire existed with regard to the pur
chase of armor plate during the last
administration. As I have heretofore
stated In the caw of the dreadnought
Pennsylvania, approximately 8,000
tqns of Class A plate was let to the
trust at $454 per ton. 1 have an e^x-
p^rt who is willing to testify that a
good profit could In made on such
plate at a price of $25 1 i■ r ton.
.-The difference in these prices net

Millions in Swollen Profits.
"I wls»h to add to that statement
that if those figures b ound to be
correct, Class A arpior p’.i to.contracts
oh the dreadnoughts Ari sas. Neva
6k, Texas and Florida, h were let
to the trust at $420 jar ton, netted
that organization a swollen profit of
$4,571,072 on 24,542 tons of this com
modity. None of this material, I am
credibly informed, was passed upon
by a Government expert, for the very
simple roa.oon that there wm no man
in the employ of this country capable
of this important duty.
"I am not a jingoist or a large navy
man/' continued the Senator, “hut I
do want the United States to get a
square deal, and I intend to see this
matter through to the finish/’
The Senator said fhat for years the
Midvale Steel Company, the Carnegie
Steel Company and the Bethlehem
Steel Company, comprising an abso
lute monopoly in the manufacture of
afinor plate, had maintained a lobby
ih Washington and that they had con
spired to mulct the Government of
nV.llions of dollars
In this connection, the Senator
ehlled attention to the Investigation
started in the House some' years ago
bv John Sharp Williams, which re
sulted In the finding of a defective
plate, and in the fining of the Car
negie Steel Company. Tills and other
a?;..or plate, said tin Senator, had
been furnished the Government at a
profit of approximately 50 per cent.
1 Senator Ashurst declared that not
only would he push his resolution for
the investigation of the contracts of
Glass A armor plate for the dread
nought Pennsylvania, but that he
would endeavor to enlist his col
leagues in a campaign to break up the
armor plate trust and substitute Gov-
ernment manufacture of this com
modity.
■ At the Bureau of Ordnance of the
Navy Department it was ascertained
that approximately 8,000 tons of Class
A armor plate had been let to the
trust at $454 per ton for the dread
nought Pennsylvania, and 27.542 of
Class A plate hHd been let to thewime
cfrganlzation for the building of the
dreadnoughts Arkansas, Nevada,
Texas and Florida.

Offers Reward for Dynamiter of
Negro's Home—“This State
Will Not Brook Anarchy,"
Governor Joseph M. Brown Mon
day issued & proclamation offering a
reward of $150 for the dynamiter of a
negro house on the plantation of
James T. Anderson. In Cobb Countv.
He said the crime Indicated that cer
tain men in Cobb County had taken
up the movement started by a lawless
element in Forsyth County to drive
the negroes out. and that a firm posi
tion by the Htute was demanded.
I want it clearly understood that
this State will not make the slightest
concession to anarchy : and I feel con
fident the people are bac k of me,” said
the Governor.
This action by Governor Brown
comes ' lose on the heels of the offer
ing of rewards for the apprehension
of lynchers in Columbia and Heard
Counties. Copies of these proclama
tions have been sent to the county pa
per* of both these c ounties to be in-
. i • d as advertisement*.
Issues Proclamation.
When the Sheriff of Cobb County

day and told him of the dynamiting,
he Immediately responded with a
proclamation, clearly indicating that
he was ready to begin warfare against
mob rule and uphold the supremacy
of the law with all available means.
Said the Governor:
The State’s process for enforcing
her laws is definite and complete. She;
has not abdicated the power to apply
that process nor does she permit her
power to be usurped by any perron or
combination of persons She does not
concede that anarchy in any form nor
in any degree shall supplant her
laws.”

Attacks on Negroes
Renewed in Cobb.
MARIETTA, GA.. May 19.—Cobb
County officers to-day ar« searching
for unknown men who early yester
day wrecked with dynamite a ten
ant house on the farm of James T.
Anderson, eight miles from Ma
rietta The house was occupied by
a negro foreman.
it is believed the same men are
responsible for this as for other dep
redations in this county in recent
months, all directed against negroes
in efforts t<* drive them from this
section. Heretofore one store was
burned near the Kenneeaw Marble
Company's plant and several .notices
were posted in conspicuous places
warning negroes to leave. The per
petrators became so bold that spec ial
watchmen were employed at many
factories and mills in and near the
city where negro labor is employed.
Mr. Anderson's foreman was one
of those warned to leave and did so,
but a month ago was prevailed on by
Mr. Anderson to return.
Early Sunday occupants of the
foreman’s house were thrown from
their beds by a terrific explosion. No
one was injured, as they were sleep
ing at tl»e far end from where the
dynamite was set off.
Investigation revealed that the per
petrators had driven in a buggy to
within 30 feet of the house and, with
a long pole, had pushed the dynamite
under the building, setting it off with
a three-foot fuse. They drove off be
fore it had time to explode
The* Sheriff was notified and hur
ried to the scene wdth a posse and
dqgs. but the buggy tracks could not
be followed.
Citizens here are indignant over
these continued depredations and
have Started a fund as a reward for
the apprehension of the guilty parties,
who are supposed to be low-class
white men.
Mr. Anderson dec lares that his fore
man is an industrious pegro who does
not interfere with outsiders and sel
dom leaves the place.

B, Sanders Walker, Jr., Prepares
for End, When Told He Can
Not Survive Day.
MACON GA, May T9.—”1 wish It
was all over now/ said B. Sanders
Walker, Jr., when told this morning
that this was his last day on earth.
He is dying from poison, having
swallowed a bichloride of mercury
tablet by mistake for a headache pill
last Thursday.
He Is suffering intensely and is
very weak, his death being considered
but a matter of a few hours. His
father, B, S. Walker, of Monroe; his'
brother, Cliff M. Walker. Solicitor
General of the Western Circuit, and
other relatives are at his bedside.
Without exception, in every church
in Macon. Protestant and Catholic,
prayers were offered yesterday for
his recovery and his case was com
mented upin from nearly all the pul
pits in the sermons.
W r alker's case is one of pathetic
interest. He is one of the wealthiest
young business men in Macon or mid
dle Georgia, controlling property esti
mated at $700,000 valuation. He is a
graduate of the University of Geor
gia. in the class of 1903. He played
shortstop on the Georgia baseball
team while a student at Athens.
W alker w as in the prime of young
manhood and a specimen of perfect
health when his mistake of four days
ago placed him upon his deathbed.
After the first day the pain caused
by the gnawing poison eased and sv*t
about its deadly work of slowly but
surely destroying the functions of the
kidneys and liver. Within another
day the kidneys were paralyzed. But
for a slight pallor, no one would know
from his appearance he was a living
dead man.
When told he could not recover,
Walker summoned several of his busi
ness associates and gave directions
concerning the disposition of press
ing business matters. Besides being a
banker, he is interested in many busi
ness enterprises, particularly in real
estate.
“I know I must die,” he said to his
friends. “It is something that can not
be helped, and I have made up my
mind to face it as bravely as possi
ble. I do not feel the slightest pain;
it is strange that I must die from a
cause that makes itself so little felt.
If I didn’t have so much faith in my
physicians and know that the poison
Is in my system, I would laugh at my
sentence to death.
“I suffered terribly from nausea and
burning pains for twelve or fourteen
hours after swallowing the poison;
then the distress gradually wore away
until it ceased altogether. It is diffi
cult for me to believe my end is so
near.”
Following his return frofn a ban
quet given to delegates to the Georgia
State Bankers' Association, who were
in convention here. Walker, who left
his bed and donned his evening
clothes to attend the dinner, called his
lawyer and made his will. Previous
to going to the banquet, he was a lit
tle skeptical concerning his approach
ing death and as one of the hosts to
the bankers he was as gay as the gay.
Excepting for the and and at times
tearful faces of his w ife and children
ind other relatives, it is difficult tj
realize the Walker mansion is a hous^
of death. The members of the family
have agreed not to talk of the im
pending fate of the master in his
presence and make every effort to
turn his mind from his approaching
end.
ALIEN HI
President Thinks Belief That
Americans Regard Them as
Inferior Riled Orientals.
WASHINGTON, May 19.—The State
Department indicated to-day that the
administration has completed its con
sideration of all points in the reply to
the Japanese protest against the Cal
ifornia land law, and it will be trans
mitted to Viscount Chinda, Japanese
Ambassador, either to-night or to
morrow, when, it is anticipated, the
Stat<e Department will make public . n
official statement outlining botri sides
in the controversy.
Secretary of State Bryan believes
this will be the best method of rid
ding the nation of its “war scare.”
Calls Pride Cause of Row.
That President Wilson believes tlfe
root of the whole trouble lies in the
national pride of the Japanese was
indicated at the semi-weekly news
paper Cabinet meeting to-day.
The President has concluded that
Japan is not so much annoyed by the
Webb bill as at the intimation that
Americans do not wish to meet the
Orientals on equal terms. This feel
ing. he considers, was born of the
Chinese exclusion act.
See Insult to Nation.
The Japanese, as a nation, do not
care particularly whether their broth
ers hold land in California, but they
feel a prohibition of this provides an
insult to their race and country.
