It comes officially that all places suspected of making an effort to carry on gambling will be closely watched and the grand jury will be informed of these efforts as soon as evidence can be worked up Reports were common here recently that some of the gambling fraternity were anx- ious to begin business again but the activity of the sheriff's office will probably set at rest the determination to make try again. During the past week. some arrests were made on charges Of gambling. the cases so far being in the City Court.

Sunday Shooting.

Requests have recently come from the militiamen of different States to use the rifle ranges on Sunday. As the War Department wishes to encourage the use of the rife ranges as much as possible, and as the men can only get out on Sunday, these requests have al- ways been granted providing they have the consent of the local military au- thority. This move has come from the fact that the President decided some time ago that the observance of Sum day in a military reservation was in the control of military authority.

Wireless Outfits.


 The Quartermaster General Is now having a wireless telegraph outfit in- stalled on vessels of the transport ser vice. The installation on the trans port Thomas was completed just before this vessel sailed, June 5, and was put into operation at once. Several mes- sages were received after the vessel left San Francisco, one of them after the vessel had reached a point 700 miles distant from San Francisco. The apparatus has been provided for three other trans Pacific transports and will be installed as soon as they reach port It is the intention to equip the trans ports running to Havana at once. The apparatus used Is the design of the Sig nal Corps purchased by the Quarter masters Department. The four sets to be used on tho Pacific coast were de- signed and assembled under the direc- ton of the chief signal officer, and 1t Is believed they are superior to any, thing yet set up. The remaining transports will be fitted out with ap- paratus purchased by the Quartermas- ters Department under specifications prepared by the signal corps The in- stallation of wireless telegraphy on the army transports will be of great ser vice in keeping track of the transports and in enabling them to be in commit nication frequently with the shore and vessels between ports, and will thus greatly lessen the danger at sea-
