Atlanta, Ca, Sept, 26.-Atlanta is
practically under martial law. Be-
tween six hundred and eight hun
dred State troops are patrolling the
streets from one end of the City to
the other. While Governor Terrell
has not issued a proclamation de-
claring martial law, he has stated
emphatically he would do so if the
disorder was repeated.
But Mayor Woodward has taken
affairs into his hands and has di-
rected the police and the militia to
clear the streets and order every
citizen to his home. At nine o'clock
at night detachments of militia were
sent out on the main streets leading
from the city's center with orders TO
see that the streets were cleared and
the people in their homes.
Notwithstanding this, mobs coll
lected at various places and endeav-

negro settlements and on the out

PATRICK PLEA BY
1920 PHYSICIANS.
Petition Governor for an Investiga-
ton i'm the Rice Murder Case.

Albany, n. Y, Sept. 26.-Three
thousand two hundred physicians OF
New York State, representing 551
cities and towns, joined in a petition
presented to Governor Higgins in be-
half OF Albert 7. Patrick, under
death sentence for the murder of
William NJ Rice The petition re-
quesst the appointment of a commits
sion Of medical experts to investigate
the medical question involved in the
Patrick case in the belief that inves-
tigation will demonstrate that the
condition of Rice's lungs was caused
by inhaling fluid and not by chloro-
form, as the prosecution alleged at
the trial at which Patrick was con-
Victed
Some question has arisen as to the
power of the Governor to appoint a
commission for an investigation of
that character and a second appli-
cation requesting the exercise of ex-
ecutive clemenCy will be made in
Patrick's behalf within a few days.
1t will ask for a pardon or a commu-
tation of sentence. During its con-
sideration the Governor may inquire
through experts into the medical
questions forming the basis of the
position presented.

suitable for the purpose, where he dis
ported himself made nets and ham
mocks and arrows, counted his money
and played with a chimpanzee Ii was
this latter feature which proved objec-
tionable. 1t was nOised abroad that a
man was being exhibited in n cage
with monkey to show the supposed
close connection between the two lspe-
cies of beings, and this led to protest,
particularly on the part of the colored
people of New York. who regarded the
matter in the light Of special Insult
to them. The director of the park de-
MED that the pygmy was placed on
view with any such idea.
The incident raises many interesting
questions respecting the comparative
development of different branches OF
the human race and the time man as a
human being, supposing he was ever
anything else, has been on the earth.
Though there are interesting and curl.
Gus points of resemblance between a
member of the simian tribe and any
member of the human race black or
white, red or yellow, it is yet far cry
from Ota Benga. the pygray. to the
chimpanzee with whom he plays. Ota
Benga is twenty-three years old and
four feet eleven inches in height. II
might be supposed that he and his
tribesmen, being so small are more
nearly related to the apes, granting
that any relationship between the hu-
man and simian species exists, than
men of races which attain larger size.
But Ota Benga is not representative
OF the lowest order Of savage. There
are larger tribes which are less deyel-
.oped than he and his tribesmen. He Is
bright and has mastered good many
English words already and is skillful
at manual work. How long the pyg-
mics have lived in Africa. where they
came from and how they came to be
smaller than the tribes around them
are questions the scientists have moi
yet been able to answer.

men He is the only specimen of the
