TOO MANY FAIR CHORUS
GIRLS FOR MIDSHIPMEN
Academy Officers Call on Civil Author.
tiles to Help Break Up After
Theater Parties--Can-
ddates Naughty

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept 6-The mystic
rious affinity between members of the
choruses of the Shows which visit the
city and the cadets at the naval academy
and prospective cadets. an affinity which
leads to many infractions of the rules of
discipline laid down in the navy's "biue
book" is causing the officers of the
academy much worriment So serious Is
the matter said to have become that the
naval officers have asked the civil author
tiles of the town to help them down it,
The recent report by the wainwright
board on conditions surrounding candi-
dates for admission to the academy and
midshipmen while at Annapolis was the
subject of a conference between Major
Gordon H. Claude OF Annapolis and SUI
perintendent G. J. Badger of the acs lemy
today, at which plans were made for a
closer cooperation between the naval and
city authorities in an effort to break up
certain practices to which reference was
made in the report.
One topic of the conference was the
'after theater'' parties given by mid
shipmen and candidates which are said
to be attended by the ballet stars of cer-
tain theatrical companies. The academy
and municipal officials will unite in ef-
forts to break up this practice. although
Capt. Badger deprecated the idea that
the Wainwright report had intended any
direct reflection on the morals of Annapo-
lis and expressed the view that condi-
tions here were as good, if not better,
than at most of the colleges and uni
versity towns of the country.
He said, however, that certain places
at Annapolis were understood to permit
the sale of liquor to midshipmen as we'll
as to candidates and to allow these
youths to rent rooms and send out for
such liquid refreshments sas they de-
sired
Still another matter of Importance taken
up was that of the conduct Of candidates
while attending prepara .ory schools here
Superintendent Badger said that, here
after where he learned officially or 9TH
erwise of habitual disorder, too frequent
use of intoxicants and similar offenses on
the part Of candidates he would use his
influence to have revoked the appoint
ments to the academy of such youths, as
the moral qualifications of those who con-
template entering the navy are most i'm
portant.

from the ground, eats its fill and disappears
In the ground before morning, and is only
to be caught If at all. by digging about the
roots Of the plant. In a few Instances
worm has been found early in the morning
nearly buried in a tomato, or curled closely
about the stem under the leaves In some
cases the worm is found within the stalk,
which withers and dies soon after the boring
process begins

CHICAGO. Sept. 6.-An overwhelming
amount of bullish news turned weak wheat
market into a strong affair today. AT the
close wheat for December delivery was up
Nc. Corn was unchanged to Bc lower. Oats
were &c higher. Provisions were unchanged
to 15c higher.
The initial quotations in today's market

after the opening, however, lower cables,
easier prices for cash wheat and heavy sell
ing by local longs caused a slight decline.
Later the market rallied and became strong
on renewed buying of cash wheat and futures
for foreign accounts. Reports of wheat and
poor threshing returns in the northwest and
the sale of 100000 bushels to a New York ex-
porter. Under these influences prices ad-
vanced sharply and many who went short on
