Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 24. Saturday night a race war of no mean propor
tions began in Atlanta. While it lasted at least ten lives were sacrificed, and the number of injured will be at least forty, several of whom cannot recover. The dead are all negroes. The city 13 controlled by police, aided by nearly a thousand of the state militia.
Every part of the town is patrolled by the soldiers, and the authorities seem
GEORGIA'S CAFITOL, ATLANTA, to have the situation well in hand. Governor Terrell, who ordered seven companies of the state military service from points outside of Atlanta to aid the eight local companies, stands ready to declare the city under martial law
if the scenes of Saturday night are repeated. Cause of the Savage Outbreak. This condition came as the result of numerous rapes or attempted rapes upon white women by negroes. The last of an even dozen of such assaults within the limits of Fulton county within the last nine weeks came Saturday when four attempts at rape were reported. Flaring headlines in the special editions of afternoon papers
wrought the populace to a high pitch of
excitement. The usual Saturday night
crowds were largely increased by men
and boys, who thronged the down
town streets.
Alleged Negro Aggression. About to p. m. a negro man shoved
a white woman from the sidewalk on
Whitehall street, in the center of town.
Almost simultaneously a negro woman made an insulting remark to a white man on a adjoining street and he ad-
ministered what he considered due
punishment.
The heralding of recent assaults on white women by negroes in flaming headlines in the extras of local papers was condemned in unmeasured terms, and the earnest request was made that hereafter no special additions covering these topics be issued. Such "inflamatory headlines" were declared to
have been the direct incitement to the
outrages of the mob. Up to this writing more than fifty arrests have been made of members of the mob, charging incitement to riot. Five hundred dollars bond has been required in each case. No names of prominence are found on this list. The
lawless character of the mob was fully
demonstrated during the latter part of Saturday evening. When the negroes
from pure wantonness, broke windows and damaged property. The crowd, after pulling the negro porters from the Pullmans of a Western and Atlantic railroad train standing ready to start, proceeded to smash tho windows in the day coaches and mail and baggage cars. They thea crossed to the Kimball House and continued the window smashing amusement, causing a loss of several hundred dollars. Numerous windows in stores on Peachtree. street show the fact that the mob passed that way.

McCabe, of Philadelphia who is presiding over the sessions in progress here of the Detroit Methodist Episcopal conference, in a sermon in the First Methodist. Episcopal church on "Religious Liberty" said that he would like to see war declared against the sultan of Turkey He told of the persecution and outrages practiced on. Christians in Turkey, and of the ill treatment accorded Jews in Russia, and then caused almost general applause by saying: "We as a nation are for peace. We don't want any more war I am as a general thing opposed to war, but I'd like to see one more war - one against the sultan of Turkey and I'd like to participate in it.

SOMETHING IN THAT ROAST
THEN THE MOB BREAKS LOOSE
Rages Through Atlanta Streets Hun
gry for Negro Blood. . From this start the excited crowd,
which had become a mob, began its
work of destruction. Five Thousand
men and boys thronged the downtown streets looking for negroes. News that
a riot had started brought thousands more from their homes In the suburbs and residence districts, until fully 10,-
000 men thronged the downtown sec-
tion. They made attacks on the incoming street cars. Each car was scanned for negroes. The trolleys were pulled from the wires, and in the semidarkness of the unlighted cars negroes were beaten, cut and stamped upon in an unreasoning mad frenzy. If a negro ventured resistance or re-
monstrated it meant practically sure death. One half filled with negroes approached from an outside run. The mob dashed for the car. Resistance
was made by the negroes, who had not been apprised of the trouble. Three negroes lay dead on the floor of the car when it was permitted to move on, and two more were beaten into unconsciousness. Mayor Woodward made two speeches to the mob, but they had no effect. Then he called out the entire police department, giving the order "Clear the streets" the order was obeyed as to the turbulent section of
the city at that hour, but the mob sought other streets and proceeded
with its work.
