Philadelphia, Aug:. 8.—Five men are

.Ul.

The mutiny was the result of a
Srunken brawl. Privates Burnett and
Kensey. of the marine corps, were the
ring leaders, and they ure 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,
jnder the leadership of Burnett and
Kensey, attempted to break camp.
Sergeant Kirby, 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
the mutineers placed under arrest.
Burnett and Kensey were given _
general courtmartlal yesterday and will
be given long terms of imprisonment
in the naval prison at Boston. The
others were given summary courtmar
tlal and sentenced to serve thirty day

ANOTHER NE W POSTOFFICE
WILL BE NEEDED IN CITY
WITHIN FIVE OR SIX YEARS
Architect Taylor, of the treasury de
partment, had almost concluded his
task of getting the Ideas of the various
department of the govefnment 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’*, all right,” was
the quAck response.
"The policy of the government as
outlined by the last congress will be
to build one-story postoffiees In nil 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 is soon ns the postal receipts Jus
tify It the new building will be aban
doned, to the other departments and
building near the Terminal
station win ne 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
wng«m s> si ••in 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
oil the fourth floor of the civil .service
commission to hold its examinations.
Room will be provided for 200 desks, so
that all applicants can be accommo
dated without trouble.
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 quarters as a Christmas present,"
said Collector Rucker, "but unfortu
nately he didn’t specify wlmt Christ
mas it will be, and so we have made
up our minds to'wait some time for
thorn.”

Mr. Whitley had accused one of the
men behind the measure, presumably
Mr. Hill, of using perjured testimony
In court cases. There Is said to have
been personal feeling between the two
for several years. Air. Hill accused
Mr. Whitley* of being ngnlnst the bill
because he had received no money to
vote in favof of it.
At 9:45 o’clock Mr. Whitley entered
the house anil walked toward his seat.

Lobbying Charges.
Tho fight was the direct result of the
< hnrgi'tf made by Mr. Whitley upon the
floor of the house Tuesday In explain
ing Ills vote against the Mattingly
fid appropriation. The remarks at-
icteil but little attention at the time,
hut they evidently rankled In the mind
of Mr. Hill, who was one of the work
ers for the bill and the subject of the
remarks.
In his speech Tuesday Mr. Whitley
said:
"I am ngnlnst this measure tm
count of the character of the men be-
1 It." He nlso made some remark
to the effect that one of the men had
accepted i*erjure4| evidence In a law
suit. Hie remarks brought Mr. Wright,
of Richmond, the leader for the bill in
the house, to his f**<*t, hut Mr. Whitley
plained that he did not refer to any
member of the house.
* Mr. Hill’s Statement.
Mr. H1II made the statement to The
Georgian that he had gone up to the
pltol as he has frequently done, with
purpose »>r thought of having any
difficulty with Dr. Whitley. Whilq
standing In the rear of the house Dr.
Whitley passed him and eiw>ke, saying
Good morning, Mr. Hill."
"In view of the offensive language

tor of the house Tuesday In reference

m with the MaMInglv bond bill, I felt

Hill.
