CRUISE REPORTS"
RumOrs Current Among Middle:
Tend to Strike Terror to
Their Hearts
NO PLEBE LIBERTY WEEKEND?
Galley Stories" Stir The Foundation
OF Midshipmen Body at The
Naval Academy

This is the season of the year when
all sorts of rumors are current as to
proposed changes in the manner of
maintaining discipline at the Naval
Academy. Most of these reports are
born during the summer cruise. and
have no possible basis of fact.
AS a matter of truth, most of them
are evolved by the upper classmen
and are intended to strike terror to
the hearts of the Younger men, who
are threatened with deprivation of
the scanty privileges they now enjoy.
Nevertheless, many of these things
seem to be believed absolutely by the
plebes, and at each weekend they
gravey tell their friends of proposed
changes which will convert the Acad-
emy into prison.
One of the reports was to the effect
that, beginning with the opening of
the academic year, the fourth class
men were not to be allowed to leave
the Academy at all, but would sbe re-
stricted to the grounds on Saturday
and Sunday, just as on any other day.
Another rumor was that the privilege
of going to hops would be given to
first and second classmen only, the
youngsters being refused permis-
sion to attend. as we'll as the plebes.
1t is not hard to see that these
reports were given currency by the
upper classmen, inasmuch as all of
them are along the line of greater
restrictions for the members of the
two lower classes, and more liberty
for the upper classmen. According
to these "cruise reports or gal
ley stories," the first class club is
to be established promptly, and the
members of the graduating class are
to have all the privilege of officers at
time when they can avail themselves
of them. 1t is also stated on the same
authority, that first classmen are to
have the privilege of leaving Annapo-
lis or doing anything else they wish
from Saturday morning to Sunday
evening of each week.
There have been no official reports
in anyway suggesting any of these
reforms" and it is not likely that
Superintendent Gibbons has taken the
midshipmen into his confidence as to
what he proposes to do, yet these
things and many others are gravely
told their friends by the midshipmen
when they avail themselves of the
privilege of visiting Annapolis, and
they seem to be convinced of their
truth.

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
City Officials Contemplate TO Build
Bulkhead On Charles St.

Besides the extensive improve
ments which We're ordered by the CITY
Council last night, city officials are
planning to take some definite step
towards the construction of the bulk
head across Charles street cove. This
was one of the Improvements contem-
plated by the bond issue of 1906, but
the funds proved insufficient to COM
plete it.
A portion of this work has been done
by the extension of Shaw street. and
the construction of the sewer, so that
this large sewer, which covers con-
siderable portion of the western sec
tlon of the city. as well as Murray
Hill, could be carried to comparative
ly deep water in Spa creek. A bal
ance of 81, 200 now remains in bank,
and must, under the terms of the
ordinance, be devoted to this work.
AS two sewers. the Charles and
South streets, empty into this shall
low and sluggish cove, the compile
tion of the bulkhead, so that the sew
ers can be carried to deep water.
appears to be very necessary.
After the construction of the
bulkhead,a a development which would
naturally follow. would be the ex-
tension of Charles street across the
back portion of the Acton property.
This would afford new and beauti-
full residence section, furnish a better
approach to Murray Hill and greatly
increase property values in the section
and the consequent revenue to the

A SHARE OF THE CREDIT
Secretary Of Water Witch Co. Says
Omission Was UnintentiOnaI
(Communicated.)


Annapolis, Md, Sept. II, 1911.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
Reading the head lines of the thanks
to all who donated and gave assist
ance during the carnival of the Water
Witch Hook and Ladder Company,
and the omission of the Evening
Capital, | will state it was not be-
cause the company did not appre-
ciate the press, but it was an act
of forgetfulness on the part of the
writer, and it is one of the manv
mistakes made by him. The press
should, and is entitled to a large
share of the credit, but as the writer
neglected it, the company did not,
and was as much called down by them
as by The Capital. / hope the Edi-
tor will accept the apology of the
writer and not hold the company re-
sponsible for the oversight.
Respectfully,
H. F. LeTOURNEAU,
Secretary.

There was some revival today of
the talk of Independent candidates for
some of the county Offices this fall.
and Edward Cecil was mentioned as a

fact of the large majorities by which
all of the candidates on the Demo
cratic ticket were named, little stock
is taken in the proposition of indie
pendent candidates.

NoeALEs, SONORA, MEXICO.
Thriving Town in the Nslghborl
 Republic.

zona, started at the same time, the two have grown together, and are about the same in population, wealth and taxable values, al- though the system of taxation is quite different. The Mexican mum iCipalty has one important source of revenue that the Arizona town is without: the federal government pays into the municipal treasures at all ports of entry 14%, of all collections of customs duties made at such ports. Those payments at Nogales, Sonora, average about one thousands pesos monthly. Be- side that the municipality realizes 3b from the federal internal tax upon retail sales, which adds con- siderably to the municipal revenue. Also the town imposes a heavy excise upon the sale of liquors. From the various sources of rev enue the municipality conducts it's government and has accum. ulated quite surplus, amounting 10 more than twenty thousand pesos; and it has a fine municipal building, jail, a good school house with another to erected very shortly. Plans have been drawn for such an editice and construc- tion contracts are to be let right away.
 MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
 Municipalities in Mexico are much more extensive in area than in the United States, embracing quite scope of country and some times several towns, or settlements. The latter are designated as com- a8arias, and the chief town where Is the municipal seat of govern ment is the cabO lhead) of the municipality. In that way the authority of the municipal officers in Nogales, Sonora, extends twelve miles southward, to Agua Zarca; the same distance eastward, to Santa Barbara and Buena Vista and twenty miles westward, to Planchas de Plata. The municipal authorities of Nogales exercise a supervision over all that territory govern the inhabitants, care for the roads. and conduct the schools, exercising a far wider authority than would like officials in an American town, and a great deal more power. In an American town the sway of the municipal officers extends over very limited area, and authority is divided, one board governing the schools and another exercising the police powers with sometimes third caring for the streets, highways and thoroughfares.
 Nogales, Sonora, is the largest and most important town in the Mag. dalena district of the State of So, nora. The town of the same name fifty miles south of Nogales, is the seat of the government for the district. The latter is rich in min eral resources, agriculture, horti culture and cattle.
 Like in Nogales, Arizona, tht federal government has importan officials stationed in Nogales, So nora. It is one of the chief portl of entry on tue West Coast of Mex ico, and ranks in importance anC extent of collections about th fourth in all the republic.

 There are three banking houses ] in Nogales, Sonora, branches of great and we'll known banks of the republic.

 In drawing to close these descriptive articles of the twin cities of the international border it is not amiss to call attention to the fact that the progress and advancement of the towns have been even and steady. There have been no spasmodic booms inter. spersed with great periods of de pression. But growth has beer normal, natural and regular. Witt
