MARINES AND TARS MUTINY AT THEU.S. SUMMER CAMP; FIFTEEN ARE UNDER ARREST Lives of Officers Menaced By Drunken Sailors—Two of the Wounded Are in Hospital. Bj Prlrate Leased Wire. Philadelphia, Aug. 8.—Five men are in Irons, two of them In the sick bay on board of the receiving ship Lan caster at League island navy yard, as the result of mutiny which broke out In the summer camp on Monday. Ten sailors are also under arrest, charged with being implicated, and they are also under arrest awaiting courtmor- tlal. Hat Throat Cut. The mutiny was the result of a drunken brawl. Privates Burnett and Kensey, of the marine corps, were the ring leaders, and they are now under the doctor's care, the former with his throat cut and the latter with a frac tured arm. A score of marines and blue jackets, under the leadership of Burnett and Kensey, attempted to break camp. Sergeant Kerby, who was on guard, called on the patrol to drive the men back, and the result was a fierce fight, in which shots were fired, and many wounded. Are To Be Ironed. Chief Boatswain Garrett, who, with a force of marines and sailors, had been summoned from the Lancaster by the alarm which had been sounded, narrowly escaped death. Burnett had a loaded rifle pointed at Garrett's head when he was struck down by a bayo net. The disturbance was quelled and he mutineers placed under arrest. Burnett and Kensey were given a general courtmartial yesterday and will be given long terms of Imprisonment I** the naval prison at Boston.

ANOTHER NE W POSTOFFICE WILL BE NEEDED IN CITY WITHIN FIVE OR SIX YEARS Architect Taylor Says That While Contem plated Structure Will Be Commodious, It Will Soon Be Taxed By City’s Growth. IN THE STRETCH Architect Taylor, of the treasury de partment, had almost concluded his task of getting the ideas of the various department of the government service in reference to their quarters in the new building Wednesday morning, and when seen by a representative of The Georgian was getting ready to leave Atlanta. "How do you like Atlanta, Mr. Tay lor?” was the query with which he was greeted. "Oh, Atlanta's all right," was the quick response. "The policy of the government as outlined by the last congress will be to build one-story postoffices in all of the large cities in the country in the future. This will be more in the nature of an immense distributing center and the city will be divided Into districts, In the center of which will be a sub station from which the carriers will take out their routes. The building In Atlanta Is probably the last that will he constructed on an elaborate scale, and as soon as the postal receipts jus tify It the new building will be aban doned to the other departments and another building near the Terminal station will be erected. Of course it is impossible to state when this will be, but at the rate Atlanta's postal busi ness Is growing I judge that we shall have to provide additional quarters within the next five or six years. "It Is the plan at present to use the wagon system of distributing the malls, but if the pneumatic tube system proves feasible that will be adopted." The only change of any consequence will be that quarters will be provided on the fourth floor of the civil service commission to hold Its examinations Room will be provided for 200 desks, sc that all applicants can be accommo dated without trouble. Postmaster Blodgett, Collector Ruck er and tbf; > v her officials are highly pleased n?. i the plans for the new building, and the only regret Is that they will have to wait two or three years to get Into them. "Mr. Taylor has promised us the new quarters as a Christmas present," said Collector Rucker, "but unfortu nately he didn’t specify what Christ inas it will be, and so we have ma !e up our minds to wait some time to* them."
