A FREAK OF NATURE
Twin Apple Grown On Tree In Garden
OF Mr.. Bunce At Eastport.

Nature is often wonderful in the
results she brings about. and freaks
of nature are more or less common.
The latest freak of nature to be left
at the Capital Office is an apple. or
rather two apples in one, grown on n
tree of the Twenty Ounce" variety
in the garden of Mr.. George Bunce.
at Eastport. The apples are perfect
ly formed on one stem, and are sug-
gestive of the Siamese twins. One Of
the apples is slightly larger than the
other. both are we'll grown and per
fectly formed, but are united around
the stem.
The tree from which they are
grown bears apples that usually weigh
twenty ounces, and for this reason
Mr.. Bunce has named the tree the
Twenty Ounce apple tree. His gar
den is famous for good fruit and a
variety of fruit. The twenty ounce
apples, of which the freak is a speci-
men, are cooking apples of a delicious
flavor.

NEW CLASS SMALL
Ii viii Not Go Over 2l5. Officials There
Believe

The new fourth class of midshipmen
is now practically complete and will
perhaps not number more than 215.
Officials of the Academy are much
disappointed over the small size of
the class, as it had been generally eX-
pectede that it would number at least
300. But on the contrary it is the
smallest class that has been taken
into the institution in half a dozen
years.
Ten young Marylanders are among
the new recruits. They are:
Charles A. f. King, of Baltimore.
Charles B. C. Carey, formerly of
College Park, but whose father now
resides at Schenectady, N. Y.
Wallis Gearing, son of Capt. Henry
c. Gearing, of the navy, (retired),
of Annapolis.
Lawrence j. X. Blades, of Chop

George Maryell, son of Commander
George r. Marvell, of the navy, on

Inch Guns.

Everett and Pert Bellingham compa-
nies of the Washington Coast ArtiI-
lery reserve corps yesterday at Port

Respectfully,
BEEKMAN WINTHROP,

Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
The transfers were not surprise
to persons who have been in touch
with the proceedings of the court of
inquiry. The court severely scored
several staff officers on the ground
that they had served at the headuar-
ters of the corps in Washington for
too long a period AS the navy regu
lations required that the adjutant and
inspector and the quartermaster of
the corps be on duty in Washington,
the regulations had to be amended so
as to permit the transfers. President
Taft, it is understood, several days
ago approved the modification of the
regulations and the proposed trans
fers.
The assignment of Colonel Biddle as
acting commandant of the corps in
the absence of General Elliott it was
said, has no bearing upon the success
sion as commandant of the corps.
Heretofore Colonel Lauchhelmer has
served as acting commandant in the
absence of General Elliott. Other
transfers of officers of the Marine
Corps incident to the general shakeup
were announced yesterday as follows
Lieut.. Col. Franklin j. Moses from
HEADQUARTERS to command the Marine
Barracks at Annapolis, vice Col.
Charles A. Doyen.
Major B. H. Fuller, from Marine
Barracks, Annapolis, to Charleston
navy yard.
Major William B. Lemly to be as
sistant ouartermaster of the corps,
vice Lieut.. Colonel Prince.
Upon his arrival in Manila Colonel
Lauchheimer will take charge of the
Philippine inspection district. Colonel
! Denny will become depot quartermas-
ter at San Francisco. Lieut.. Colonel
| Prince will be assigned to duty as
ouartermaster of the First Brigade
| of Marines in the Philippines, reliev'
ing Capt. Percy F. Archer, assistant
ouartermaster. Colonel Denny viii
relieve Major Henry L. Roosevelt. .
1t is expected that Lieut.. Col
Rufus H. Lane, now on duty at Sar
Francisco, will be ordered to Wash
ington to take charge of the inspec
tors corps.

AS a result of the shakeup in the

Orders for Colonel Moses, with
other orders, came yesterday through
Major George F. Elliott, COM
mandant of the corps. Practically
every officer who was reprimanded
officially by acting Secretary of the
