Dr.. A. +. Torrance Has Brand
New Theory Of Evolution;
Tells of Bi-SexuaI Race

SAN FRANCISCO, July % q.
N.S0.-Dr. A. F. Torrance, noted
physician, African explorer and
proponent of a new theory of
mans evolution. today had an
nounced his intention of return
Ing to Africa with a large eX-
pedition to investigate the hid
den race" which. he believes. may
hold the secret of mans origin.
This race, according to DR..
Torrance. apparently is composed
Of bi-sexual individuals, men with
physical attributes of women and
women with the physical charac.
ter1SticS Of men.
His Evolution Theory
Based on his discoveries, al.
though not advanced by the
doctor as any definite pronounce.
ment as yet, DR.. Torrance's
theory of the evolution of man.
kind is that:
Mankind did not evolve from
the ape. but from some other
form of life which was bi-sexual
in that each individual had the
power Of procreation, finally
evolving into its present form,
the evolution occurring when
the bi-sexual individual began to
differentiate between male and
female, finally becoming either
one or the other.
DR.. Torrance made it clear that
he does not regard his theory as
definitely proven but insists that
the proof lies in this hidden
race" a race of cliff dwellers,
living in the almost impenetrable
region north of Lake Chad, in
the center of Africa, guarded
from any outside contacts by the
savage, nomadic tribes surround

Eugene TRlmadge, Georgia commits
Sioner Of agriculture, said the proposal
of the Farm Board to hold of its stabi-
lization cotton for one year provided
growers destroyed third Of the 1891
crop was nothing more than a bluff
on the part Of the board"
He said he did not believe the Farm
Board has one-third of the cotton on
hand it claims to be holding and that
Congress ought to name a special
committee to investigate the beard and
find out whether IL has this cotton on
hand. The plan to destroy one-third
of the crop Is nonsense" he added.
At Raleigh, N. C.. Commissioners of

Gov. Doyle z. Carlton of Florida was
quoted as having said he considered

practically difficult to work out"
Without doubt the Governor said
cotton growers would be better off if
they had a third less cotton. but know
Of no way to induce growers to de-

M II. Wolfe, general manager of the
Farmers Marketing Association of

position to ask the farmers to destroy

Regarding the Farm Boards pro-
