GETS RIGHT OF WAY
By An Arrangement With Property
Owners Traffic Will Not Be Stopped
Via West Street

At last nights special meeting of
the City Council an arrangement was
made with property owners in the
western end of town whereby traffic
will not be interrupted out West
street, nor will the work of paving
the far end of this thoroughfare be
hampered by the passage of teams.
When the paving of the street is
commenced the traffic will be detoured
over Jefferson street, and thence over
the just acquired right of way down
the bed OF Steele avenue to Madison
street and thence back to West street.
The matter of the building being
erected for Schacks and Hohberger
on Gloucester streets and the means
employed to secure building permit
for the building was taken up and
after a thorough investigation was
referred to the Street Committee
jointly with City Engineer Little.
This committee will have full super
vision of the work, and any and all
corrections or alterations ordered by
il will have to be made.

1.-THE VOLUNTEER"
Clever Little Monthly Published On The
U. s. $. Tennessee

The Evening Capital is indebted tc
Midshipman S. r. Canine, the we'll
remembered artist of '09, of the Ma.
val Academy graduating class of 1909,
for a copy Cf "The Volunteer" a
monthly publication on the U. S. S.
Tennessee. The copy was Vol. 4,
No and 81
The little book is printed on ship
board. Its cOlors sugget patriotism,
as the ink is blue, the paper white and
| the flag and cover ornamentation in
red suggest the patriotic colors-red,
white and blue, although the color
of the cover is yellow, the red and
yellow giving Spanish tinge.
The u. S. S. Tennessee is the flag
ship of the United States Special Ser
vice Squadron. The Volunteer" con-
tains some very well written and
readable articles, several good poems,
clean humor, pointed paragraphs and
the ships daily log from April "a to
June %. 1.-The Volunteer" tells the
story of crossing the equator as fol-
lows: "0n the 14th of April, just
as we were humping over the Equa-
tor, we were hailed from forward and
boarded by His Royal Majesty, Nep-
tunus Rex, and his court. Imme-
diately proceeding aft, he was well
coined by our commanding officer in
manner beftting Royalty, and
upon being informed that a number
of newcomers to his realm were on
board who desired to become citi-
zens of his glorious domains. he
very graciousy bade his retinue
to put them through the mill, and
be sure to turn out finished pro-
duet. -
THAT his instructions were faith
fully obeyed is borne out by the
statements of many of those who
obtained their full citizenship papers
on that occasion. After inspecting
the ship and crew, with the appear
ance of which he seemed to be very
much pleased if one may Judge
from the many complimentary re-
marks made by him, he departed to
the seclusion of his palace in the
heart of the Briny Deep; or at
least, so we supposed, but later,
heard that our reception pleased
him so we'll that he first called on
the commanding officer of the South
Dakota, here some one. hundred and
tenty-three of the officers and crew
took out their papers.

PRICE ONE CENT.
NEW NAVAL GUNS
Bids Opened For Main Battery On hig
BattIeShips

The chiet of ordnance of the NAVY
this week opened bids for fourteen
sets of gun forgings for the new IL
inch guns, which are to compose the
main battery of the new battleships
authorized at the last session of Con
EreSS.
At the same time bids were opened
or furnishing thirty-two sets of pun
forgings for new 5-inch gun. which
IS to have a new type of breech mech
anism and which caliber is to be
part of the armament of the new bat
tleships. Propoals were presented at
the same time for furnishing seventy
three sets of gun forgings for 3-inch
semi-automatic guns. 10 be made of
nickel steel and Of type similar 10
that now used in the service, il being
intended that these guns shall be the
armament of the new destroyers. for
which contract are shortly 10 he
a warded.
Interest mainly attached 10 the bids
for the l4inch gun forgings. There
were only two bidders, the Bethlehem
Steel Company and the Midvale Steel
Company, the latter concern having
furnished the original type gun of
the caliber which has been tested al
the naval proving ground The bids
were identical 80 cents per pound
for nickel steel and q cents for
gun steel. The latter material is To
be used in the outer layer of the
gun, while the tube and inner LAYERS
are of nickel steel
1t was expected that the prices
named would be lower than the
rates given, which. however, are
the same as previous prices for this
material. The advantage of time
is with the Midvale bid. The re-
naming six l4-inch guns necessary
to complete the battery of the new
battleships may be purchased under
the contract for the finished rifle.

ACADEMY PROTESTS
Scholastic Governing Body At
Naval Academy Objects To
Having Its Rulings Set
Aside
UP TO ATTORNEY GENERAL.
The Nations Highest Legal Officer To Be
Asked For Opinion Oh Law In The
Premises

The academic board OF the Naval
Academy is unwilling to abide by
the decision of the Secretary of the
Navy as to the authority reposing in
/ that official to overrule or set aside
the recommendation of the academic
board in the matter of midshipmen
who are reported as deficient.
The law provides that midshipmen
found deficient at any examination
shall not he continued at the Naval
Academy or in the service, except
| upon the recommendation of the aca-
demic board.
There has been no question that
the action of the academic board is
final IN the case of members of the
four classes under instruction at the
Academy, and the department has
hitherto held that the law was ap-
plicable t. the midshipmen v were
on the two years cruise, for the rea-
son that the law reads Eat The acad-
emy or in the service" in rel tion to
continuance; consequently up to this
time any recommendation of The aca-
demic board of a midshipmaa found
ueHclenJ at the Academy or IN the
case of midshipman who comes up
for final examination has been ap-
proved.
A radical departure from this pol.
icy has been taken by the Secretary
of the Navy in regard to several
members of the class of 1908, who
were pronounced deficient by the
academic board, whose findings have
been overruled by the department
on an opinion of the Judge advocate
general that the Secretary had au-
tbority to act in the case of mid
shipmen coming up for commission as
ensign. The protest of the aca-
demic board includes the request
that the question be referred to the
attorney penaral

FELL 1000 FEET
Spectacular Feat OF BallOOnist Ends In
Death AT Asbury Park

A parachute jumper who last even
ing attempted to float from one of
/ Johnny Mack's black hot air balloons
down to the aviation field at the AS
/ bury Park, N. j., meet, 6, 900 feet be-
/ low him, was jolted from the crossbar
beneath his parachute just as he cut
loose from the balloon.
His body. at first black shoe but
ton against the sunset, went twisting
and turning toward q rose garden
back of George Coniver's farmhouse.
one hundred yards to the west of the
grandstand, struck head first on the
! main branch of an apple tree and
tumbled lifeless into the garden.
The young man, who had risked the
jump for S5 bill, was Benjamin
Prince, 2l years old, who lived with
his widowed mother at Twelfth street
and Fourteenth avenue, Newark, N.
j. He went there at the beginning
of the present aviation meet with
Johnny Mack and Mack's wife, Dot,
who jumped successfully yesterday
afternoon, and another parachute per-
former named James Flemming, a
youth slightly younger than Prince,
whose home is in Newark, where the
Macks come from.
Flemming ascended hanging to the
same balloon with Prince and Jump
ed successfully from a height of about
1000 feet a few moments before
Prince cut loose at higher altitude
to be dashed to death.
To one who has never before seen
a double parachute drop the second
jump, made after the first parachute
has opened, always causes a gasp be-
cause to the spectators who do not
know what second parachute is sup
posed to open it looks as though the
jumper were tumbling headlong to
earth. One heard that gasp when
Benny spilled like a tiny drop from
the open parachute. The knowing
ones just smiled when they heard the
gasp
Huh, he's only waiting for his
other parachute t.
There was instantly silence then.
The second parachute was tapping
and cutting like snake against the
saffron sky. From below its folds
black speck fell that showed no head
or limbs at first,so high was it above
the gray faces that watched it fall.
Down and down it fell and as it
came nearer the boys legs swinging
wildly could be distinguished. and in
another instant Benny had dropped
so far that his arms could be made
out as he seemed to grasp at the air.
He shot headlong across the disc of
the setting sun and carried the limb
of the apple tree with him as he crash
ed into the farmyard roses.
Frank Reed, farm hand, pulled a
sheet from the clothes line, and COW
cred the body. The accident, it is
said, will in no way interfere with
the program at Asbury Park, laid out
for the airmen.

BROWNSVILLE CULLINGS
Lift. Annapolis Singer Won Favor AT
Enter tainment


The Guild of st. Paul's Church.
Brownsville, gave very successful
supper and entertainment at Muir
RAYS Hall, that place, last evening.
The workers of the Guild feel graft
fled and encouraged at having had
the largest crowd present that ever
visited the new hall on any previous
occasion.
The members feel confident good
sum was realized, although returns
are not all in yet. Too much praise
cannot be given the little Annapolis
boy, Master James Taylor Trautwein,
the sweet songster, who sang several
beautiful selections. He won the
hearts of all his auditors, who feel
greatly indebted for the privilege of
having heard the wonderful child
sing so sweetly.
The Guild also feels that it owes
large part of the success of the en-
tertainment to the generosity and
liberal patronage of Annapolis
friends, many of whom were present.
The entertainment was such a great
success, it is hoped it may be repeat
ed in the near future.
