"PLEBES" CHASING PIGSKIN
Head Coach Berrien Has A Squad Of
New Recruits Al Work On GridirOn
Veterans Coming Later

| The first active steps looking Il
1 the forthcoming football season II
Annapolis were taken yesterday wher
| in response to the call of Lieut.
/ Frank ID. Berrien, head coach of the
Navy football team, a squad of fifty
fnidshipmen of the new fourth class
who aspire to positions on the team,
came out on the field for preliminary
practice.
A few days ago Lieutenant Ber-
rien gave the new recruits a good
insight into the new rules of playing
the game, so that when they donned
their togs yesterday they were ready
TO settle down TO active work. The
practice, however, was more of an
elementary nature. but from now on
practice will be INDUCED in every
afternoon, so that by the time the
veterans of last years squad return
two weeks hence, the most likely
men among the ''plebes" will have
been chosen to join the regular squad.
There are severa. likely candidates
among the new men, it is said. Most
notable of these is John Brown
husky young fellow, who is player
of experience, having played on the
Mercersburg, (Pa.) Academy for a
couple of years. He is of strong
athletic build and his chances of
making a position on the team are
considered good. Howe, who comes
from the Middle West, is another
player of ability He has played
on several High School teams out in
Michigan
When last years veterans return
from their leave, the coaches will
have just one week in which to
lick a team into shape for the open
ing game of the season, which will
be with st. Johns, the local institu-
tion, on October i.
Douglas Howard, captain and end
of the team in 1905, is at present as
sisting Head Coach Berrien in coach
ing the Plebes. Field Coach Wheat
on, an ex- Yale star, is expected here
by the 18th, as are also Ingram and
Meyer, two former Navy stars. Meyer
was the stalwart guard of last years
eleven.

COURT MARTIAL FINISHED
Report OF Indiana's Trial To Be Given
Out From Washington

The general naval court martial
which has been in session at the Naval
Academy for one week for the trial of
Lieut.. E. E. Scranton, Chief Machin-
st Wingate and two enlisted men
Of the battleship Indiana on charges
connected with the accident to the
machinery of that vessel during the
'ecent summer cruise of the midship-
nen, finished up its work this morn
ing, and the report and findings will
be made known from Washington.
The accident occurred while the
Indiana was proceeding with the
squadron from Marseilles, France
to Gibraltar, and a macninIst's
mate is held directly responsible
for the trouble. After making
some minor repairs to the machin-
.ry, he negligently left several of
his tools in one of the cylinders,
and the battleship was compelled
to undergo temporary repairs al
Gibraltar in order to complete the
cruise.
Lieutenant Scranton was the engi.
neer officer of the vessel and the
others connected with the same de-
oartment were tried on charges oi
contributory negligence in the per
formarce of duty.

NAVAL COMMISSARY STORES
A BeIated But Desirable Convenience For
Officers Families

A correspondent to the New Yorl
Sun writes the following, which is Of
local interest:
TO the Editor of The Sun-Sir
The opening of the commissary stores
for the benefit of naval officers is
awaited with no little interest in
Washington, where the experiment is
to be inaugurated. The stores will
be established in all navy ysrds and
all naval stations as rapidly as pos
/ sible.
The store in Washington is to be
/ opened early next month, and expert
enced officers of the pay corps are
now at work drawing up a circular
/ which will explain to the pay officers
and the naval officers alike both the
character and scope of the proposed
institution and the means by which it
can be utilized by its benefciaries.
1t is not likely that the new naval
stores will work revolution. They
are to be established at yards and sta
tions. In Washington the navy yard
is at least five miles from the centre
of first class populations If they fol-
low the example already adopted by
the army stores, which have been run
ming for many years now, they will
be provided with wagons that de-
liver good once a week.
The housekeeper therefore, must
buy weeks supplies at the least,
and as now appears buy only staple
articles, such as tea, coffee, sugar,
bacon, starch, lard, etc. Those who
have the means of storing weeks or
months supply may be able to save
as much as Is per cent. on their
expenditures, but that will effect a
comparatively small retrenchment in
respect of the whole burden of house
keeping.
Indeed, unless the Department
makes some arrangement with local
green groceries and marketmen
whereby naval officers can obtain
their meat, fish, vegetables, eggs,
etc., at Government prices, the new
arrangement will amount to very little
for those who have not their quarters
on the scene, that is to say, in the
yards and the stations. This belated
adoption by the navy of system long
years in vogue in the army has prob
ably been inspired by exactly that
idea. The army system arose out of
grim necessity, that Of supplying off,
GERS and their families at remote
army posts, and in effect the navy has
now borrowed the important features
of that plan for the benefit of naval
officers similarly if less hopelessly
marooned.
OF course the navy stores will be of
service, and there was no reason why
the officers of one branch should be
denied privileges that had been freely
allowed officers of the other branch.
There is justice in the arrangement,
perhaps generosity, and retired Off
GERS might also be brought under the
munificent dispensation.
Secretary Meyers proposed estab-
ishment of commissary storehouses
and dispensaries at navy yards and
naval stations will be of greater SER
vice to the officers segregated there.
1t is the meIest act of justice and con-
sideration. But that its advantages
will be felt seriously by officers who
live uptown" may be doubted.

The members of st. Anne's Gene.
terry Association desire Cat their first
meeting since the sad EVENT. to
place on record their sense of the
loss which they, the community at
large and her family have sustained
in the death of Carrie Jennings
Wilcox.
To bright, well stored and cul-
tivated mind, she added the attrac-
tiveness of a lovely, useful Christian
life. We shall sadly miss her de-
voted, unselfish and efficient aid and
counsel. She has been cut off in
the fullness of her usefulness. All
that is mortal of her reposes in the
cemetery, so long the object of her
love and care.
We trust that others may be found
to take up the work that she has laid
down, but none can ever take the
place in our memories and affections
of her and our other dear ones gone
before, who have for so many years
aided US in our labor of love.
OF her it may most truly be said,
1--WE give Thee hearty thanks, o Lord.
for the good example of this Thy
servant, who having finished her
course in faith doth now rest from
her labors'
We ask that this minute be entered
in our record, and copies signed by the
president, vice president and secre-
tary, sent to the Evening Capital for
publication and to the family of our
late and loved member.

VALUE OF ESPERANTO
A Ten Minutes Talk To The Teachers
Institute Bv Rev. J. A. Smiley

Institute Bv Rev. J. A. Smiley
At the afternoon session of the
Teachers Institute, held yesterday in
the High School, a very interesting
and practical talk was given by the
Rev. James l.. Smiley, assistant to
the rector of ST. Anne's.
DR.. Samuel Garner, the Superin-
tendent of County Schools; introduced
the speaker, Mr.. Smiley, who spoke in
part briefly as follows:
Esperanto, as study, may be
compared to yoke, which is not a
burden but an instrument of mercy.
The student of this international Ian
guage will find it helpful in three
ways; as a
Pleasant pastime.
I-Preparatory study to foreign
languages.
III-Participation IN a worldwide
movement.
The five vowels are pronounced as
in European languages ah, aa, ee, o,
90. Some of the consonants, by a
supersign, have the III sound added.
BY simpe system of prefxes and
suffixes, the vocabulary can be cas-
lily multiplied.
The 500 different words of
Shakespeare's plays could be repro
duced in Esperanto on the basis of
1900 STEMS
A very keen interest was manifest
ed in the subject. Copies of Esper-
anto leaflets were distributed until
the supply was exhausted. Many
teachers left their names and address
es to receive copies when the new
supply arrives. A number of those
present expressed their desire tC
study the language either singly oil
in groups.

white caps worn by some middies is
untidy to say the least, and ce rtainly

brick. But perhaps it didn't strike the
head and the middies didn't know the
cap was hit. However, some of the
caps are 'sgnashy" aft.
