Packy Selects New
Training Camp
Chicago Lightweight Will Take
Up His Work at Malett's
This Morning

Packy Mcfarland has decided to
change his training quarters from
Crolis gardens in Alameda to Joe Mil
letts place near Colma. According to
his present plans, Packy will start light
work this morning, in company with his
boxing partner and trainer, Pat
kenealy, who came all the way from
the Windy City with the lightweight
Mcfarland and his manager, Harry
Gilmore, liked the resort across the bay
but when they learned that they could
not have the use of the gymnasium
they had to call negotiations off. AS
Millett's was their next choice, they
quickly jumped at the chance of locat-
ing there
Packy will not do any heavy work
for the first week. He does not in
tend to don the boxing gloves until he
is we'll warmed up TO the stunt. For
the first 10 days or so he will confine
himself to light gym stunts, road work
and the like.
AS a relaxation Packy will attend the
ball game Sunday afternoon. He is
great rooter for the White Sox, and
will sit on their bench and urge them
on against the Seals. For the accom-
mediation of his friends, Packy says
that he will do a little boxing in the
morning before going to the game.
Promoter Jim Coffroth led an army of
local sporting men across the bay to
San Rafael yesterday afternoon to watch
little Johnny Murphy work out for his
fight with Cyclone Thompson at the
Mission street arena Saturday after
noon. Murphy went through every
stunt he knows for the edifcation of
the crowd and his work favorabIy i'm
pressed all those who watched him. At
the conclusion Murphy weighed 134
pounds-a pound over the required
weight.
Thompson also had a strenuous day,
hammering his sparring partners all
over the ring. He announces that he
is at weight now and therefore will
cut out boxing and other rough work
Thompson is still a favorite at odds of
10 to 9, though there is little or no bet
ting on the mill.

FIND NEGRO TROOP
GUILTY OF RIOT
Senate Committees Report on
Brownsville Affair Justi-
fies Action of President

WASHINGTON. March lin con,
nection with the report on tle
Brownsville riot which the sena0
committee on military affairs rendered.
today, President Roosevelt transmit-
ted message in which he said that
the facts set forth in his order dis
missing the negro soldiers had been
substantiated by the testimony before
the committee. He recommended in
his message that the time for the re-
instatement of the discharged soldiers,
which has expired, be extended for a
year in order to permit the president
to reinstate any of the discharged men
who did not fall within the terms of
his dismissal. Senator Warren pre-
sented the report of the committee on
behalf of the majority and Senator
Foraker the views of the minority.
The following is part of the text of
the presidents message:
The senate committee intruste ted
with the investigation of the Browns
vile riot has now completed its work
and finds that the facts upon which
my order of discharge of November
3, 1905, was based are substantiated
by the evidence. The testimony Sc
cured by the committee is therefore
which it was possible to reinstate any
individual soldier has expired 1
therefore recommend the passage of a
law extending this time limit so far
as the passage of the law and perixit-
ting the reinstatement by direction of
the president of any man who in his
Judgment shall appear not to be with
In the class whose discharge was
deemed necessary in order to maintain
the discipline and morale of the
army"
The majority report contended that
the shooting was done by some men,
bers of the Twenty fifth infantry,
though the testimony fails to identity
the particular participants. The prin-
cipal minority report, presented by
Senator Scott, recommends that the
negro soldiers be restored, as it has
been impossible to ascertain who did
the shooting.
Senator Foraker and Senator Bulke-
ley turned in a supplemental report; de-
claring that the testimony of witnesses
against the negro soldiers is unreli-
able, and the weight of evidence shows
that none of the negro soldiers partici-
pated.
A supplemental report by Senator's
Warren, Lodge Warner and Du Pont
declares the evidence shows the assault
was perpetrated by members of the
battalion, but that 1T is reasonable to
believe that all the soldiers were not
concerned.

What Our Mail
Now Cost us.

Washington, November 12.-
Postmaster General Meyer an,
nounced today that the postal de-
felt year ended June 80, 1908,
amounted to ZIG, 91o,279, The re-
ceipts were $l91, 47s,633 (being
81, 1913, 657 greater than the previ-
ours year, and the expenditures
$2OS, 351, 1886. The deficit is the
largest in the history Of the post
Office department.. An analysis of
the figures shows that 1881. 32l
represents the advance in the rate
of compensation authorized by con.
gress for employees of the railway
mail service, rural delivery service,
city delivery service, and assistant
postmasters and clerks in postOffi.
ces. The normal increase in the
revenue for several years was about
9 per cent, and in 1908, 4.29 per
cent, the falling off in the rate of
growth being due to the financial
depression.
The postmaster general said that
in his annual report he would call
the attention of congress to the
fact that he is firmly convinced
that the establishment Of a special
parcel post confined to rural deliv-
cry self-sustaining, besides being
of convenience to the farmer
and a boon to the retail
county merchant. ''TheFe are now
10 operation more than 80, 600 rural
routes" he said, ''serving a popu-
lation of about $4,000, 900 people,
and should an average of fifty five
pounds Of merchandise be carried
by the rural carrier on each trip
throughout the year, it is estimat.
ed that $15, 900, 900 would be real
lied. The rate would be 5 cents
for the filst pound and two cents
for each additional pound up to
eleven pounds, the maximum
weight of a package.

In one big house the sermon was
delivered to the killers while in the

assistance they have been to us in
bringing before the people of Fitz-

3rd. To try to covey to the
good wOmeD who opened theil
hearts and homes to us, and SO
bountifully provided for us, some
small idea of our sincere apprecia-
ton, we know full well how futile
it would be to try to thank them
fully.
The matter of establishment of
an old peoples home at Fitzgerald
