NEAJt BACE RIOT IN ATLANTA.
400 Negroes Threaten Policeman
When He Arrested Two of Their
Kind.
Atlanta. Jan. An " incipient
race not was checked yesterday after
noon by the sharp action of the At
lanta police, just at the moment when
bloodshed seemed inevitable.
The disturbance occurred at the
corner of Auburn avenue and Hilliard
street, where Policeman James Pal
mer had arrested a negro man and
woman.
A mob of 40X1 negroes formed, ami
the single policeman was forced to
the wall. He held on to the prison
ers, and threats to rush him were
about to be carried into execution by
the crowd, despite his drawn revolver,
when police reserves arrived and
drove them back.
The trouble occurred in a section
thickly settled with negroes and un
til the reserves arrived. Ollicer Pal
mer had nobody to aid him rxrent
two passing white men, who, thmivh
unarmed, were preparing to go to his
relief when the riot squad arrived.

Troy, N. J., Jan. 28. Le-al circles

ter attack on the "Do Not Hinic"
policy of the bench. To the alumnae
of La Salle Institute last nisrht lie de
clared that the judges of this country
are doing more to create anarchistic
conditions than any one else. Brandt,
an obscure valet, not guilty of the
erime accused, was sentenced to the
State prison for thiwy years: Robin,
a millionaire, alleged wrecker of
banks, goes to jail for one year;
Morse, who pyramided banks, " jug
gled millions, gets out of prison be
cause he is sick. Tl.e people are im
patient with such discrepancies in
justice, and are demanding reform.
If the people do not resort to the
recall they will revise the constitution
and create new courts that will do
right and justice, without sophisty or
delay, where substantial right pre
vails. Several Suffragists Arrested and Jail

THIS WAS THE REPORT CUB
RENT HERE TODAY.
FeopJa Did not Seem to Be Mack
Concerned About the Report, and
Went About Their Business As
Usual. So Far aa U Know There
Is Only One Case in the County.
"There is a man on the street who
has .-rnallpox." This was the word
that was sent up and down the street
and among the crowd in front of tha
court house this morning. Just who
the nan was no one seems able to
tell. Someone heard someone say
to someone that he was out mighty
early after having the smallpox.
Someone overheard the remark and
I ld someone else. By this time the
"someones" constituted a large por
tion of the crowd that was on the "'
streets and in the court house yard.
The police heard the rumor and
they began to investigate. Just who
had the disease they could not find
' ui. His identity remained uncov
ered as did the identity of the man
who -aid "you are out mighty quick
after having llie smallpox." The
people in the court house yard did
uot appear to be concerned about the
report. They answered questions
with the air that if a man bad small
pox he just simple had it they did
not have it. One lady heard about
it and she and two little boys with
her lost little time in getting off the
street and away frtm the crowd.
The men, however, refused to get the
least excited or even interested. They
kept on talking about court and
weather and politics, etc.
In the meantime the man who had
smallpox was going about visiting
any place he choose to visit. And it
is learned from authirity less im
peachable than Judge Archbald. that
he will continue to do so should he so
desire.
There are very slack restrictions
about smallpox now. The law pro
vides that a patient may be quaran
tined but the pest house is no longer
used. Compulsory vaccination has
also been abandoned. The new tlaw
leaves vaccination"' optional' with the :
individual.
So far as has been reported there
is only one case in the county and
that is in No. A township, and the pa
tient is quarantined.
There were no cases on the docket
at the Recorder's court this morn
