AT THE U. S. SUMMER CAMP
Lives of Officers Menaced By Drunken
Sailors—Two of the Wounded Are
in Hospital.
Uj Prlrmte Leased Wira.
Philadelphia, Aug. 8.—Five men are
in Irens, two of them In the sick bay
on board of the receiving ship Lan
caster at League Island navy yard, ns
the result of mutiny which broke out
in the summer camp on Monday, Ten
sailors are also under arrest, charged
with being Implicated, and thoy are
also under arrest awaiting courtmnr-
tiai.
Has 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
bock, 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 Laficaster 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
the mutineers placed under arrest.
Burnett and Kensey were given a

given long terms of Imprisonment
In the naval prison at Boston. The
others were given summary courtmar-
tlal and sentenced to serve thirty days
In double Irons.
ANOTHER NE W POSTOFFICE
WILL BE NEEDED IN CITY
WITHIN FIVE OR SIX YEARS
Architect Taylor, of the treasury de
partment, had nlmost 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
•' !-«'On by a r.‘pr*\^ntatiY. f \n
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 oy the last congress will be
to build one-story poStofflces 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
be constructed on an elaborate scale,
and os soon ns 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 fudge 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 th- mails,
but If the pneumntic tube system
proves feasible that will bo adopted."
The only change of any consequence
will be that quarters will be provided
on the fourth floor of the civil service
■ ■.iiiini'.-lMii to lu'Wl Its examinations.
Room will be provided for 200 desks, so
that all applicants can be accommo
dated without trouble. t
Postmaster Blodgett, Collector Ruck
er and the other officials are highly
pleased with 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 «pi;irt#*i o ;is a Chris!inns present."
said Collector Rucker, "but unfortu
nately he didn’t specify what < 'hrlst
mas It will be, and so we have made
up our minds to wait some time for
them.”

disease within two years after com
ing to this country. Only In this event
could he have been deported.
The West Vlrg1i*v officials will be
notified that the federal government
can do nothing to assist them In the
dilemma. \
