An illness Of several months ter

Eaglesmere hotel of Charles Heber
Clark, widely known as MAX Adler"
a writer on humorous lines, as well
as on economic questions, having for
years been an advocate of high pro-
tective tariff and champion of manu-
featuring interests. He was II years
old and lived at Conshohocken. though
he maintained an office in Philadel-
phia He went to Eaglesmere early
in July in an effort to regain his
health, but had been critically i'll for
about three weeks. His widow sur
wives him with three sons and two
daughters
Mr Clark was born at Berlin. Md
and was educated at Georgetown,
D. G. For awhile he lived in New
Castle, Del. and edited a newspaper
there, in which some of his choicest
bits of humorous writings appeared.
He began work in 1865 on an indus

campaigns. For ten years he was
secretary of the Manufacturers Club
and editor of its organ, The Manu-

a place among American humorists
with his book. "Out of the Hurry
Burly,' which he wrote under the
name of Max Adler. and of which in
later years he protested to be

Later he wrote Elbow Room" "In
Happy Hollow" Captain Bluitt" and
"The Quakeress." the latter a serious

The police say the men are men,
bers OF a Black Hand society. They
are alleged to have sent a letter de-
manding money from Giuseppe Saba
tino, of No. Sol Lincoln street, telling
him to place the money under Seventh
street bridge.
A decoy package was placed where
the letter directed and a watch kept
on the place all night, but no one ap-
peared. On Monday night John Lemon
was held up by the two prisoners,
who pointed a revolver at him and
threatened him with death if he told
any more about the Black Hand So
ciety here. He has been giving in
formation about the society, the po-
lice say, and this caused the prisoners
to threaten him. He identified both OF
them as the men who had threatened
him. When the men were arraigned
in City Court this morning the men
denied knowing Lemon or of ever
having seen him before. They were
held in $500 bail each for hearings on
Friday, upon application of Deputy
City Solicitor Lynn, who said he
wanted a witness who is now al

Postal Inspector Plummer today
said that the government also had
