Portable Wireless Apparatus.

The Army Signal Corps officers have
purchased for experimental purposes
German portable wireless set, mounted
on wheels. The army has been using
portable set which is carried on the
backs of animals and which is capable
of exchanging messages at distance
of twenty-five miles. With the larger
wireless set from abroad the communl-
cation is possible for distance of from
100 to 125 miles. The apparatus is
mounted on a vehicle drawn by four
horses and equipped with an extension
steel mast which may be elevated to a
height of sixty feet. 1t is proposed to
try out this type of portable wireless
apparatus, with view to ascertain
ing whether it may be advantageous to
| add it to the equipment of the Army
| Signal Corps in the field.

Mounts for the Army.

Ouartermaster General Aleshire has
adopted a new system for supplying
the army with horses. By it he ex-
meets to be able to effect material
sax7in, in the number of animals con-
demned as unfit for use by mounted
troops. A feature of the new plan is
to have horses purchased in the hrst
instance by cavalry officers, acting IN
dividuallv. The horses thus acquired
it is purposed to send to the army re-
mount depots, one of which has been
established at Fort Reno, Oklahama-
Another is to be established at Fort
Keogh. Montana At these places the
horses will be broken in and trained
for service with cavalry and fletd ar
tillery, one of the features of such
work being to accustom the animals
to stand while firearms are DIS
charged. From these depots the horses
will be sent out as required. In this
way the mounted troops will have
| fresh. young, trained animals, which
| are expected to last longer than the
| horses purchased under contract and
( trained for service without uniformity.
| Quartermaster General Aleshire be-
| Eeves that in this way he can keep
the horses in better trim and can cas-.
! lily control the number necessarily de-
clared unfit. He also proposes to limi;
the number of animals to be sent
yearly to the various commands, and
he estimates that not more than 10 PEI
cent of the horses need be replaced

Muster Day at Fort De Russy.

IeeteIudy pelnS the last udy VI LHe
month, was muster day for the engineer
company stationed at Fort De Russy
Waikiki. Major Winslow, Corps of En-
gineers, was in attendance.
Large Demand for Naval Stores.
Bids were opened recently by the
bureau of supplies and accounts of the
navy for upward of 100000 worth
of meats, groceries, vegetables, fish, oys-
ters, CLAIMS, bread, butter, cheese,
canned milk, fresh fruits, chickens,
hams, lard, sausage, and great variety
of food and supplies for delivery at
the various navy yards and stations
on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
One of the notable changes in the terms
of the contracts this year for meats oc-
ours in the matter of supplying smaller
vessels, where the delivery from day
to day must be limited quantity.
These contracts have been kept sepa-
rate from the larger ones for the sup,
ply of battleships and cruisers, where
beef is delivered in quarters. The bu
| reau last year endeavored to make use
| of an elastic clause in the contracts
! so that where the market price was
| Is per cent. above the contract price
| the contractor might have the privilege
of being excused from fulfilling hi:
agreement, and if the price fell l;
per cent below the contract price, the
commanding officer might have thu
| privilege of buying in the nearest anC
best market. This year the wording
of the contract gives the commanding
! officer the privilege of buying in tn
open market when the market pric
gets % per cent. below the contrac
figure. and no leeway at all is give
the contractor In all, the specifica
tons call for purchase of over 100000
pounds of beef.

Fort De Russy at Waikiki was unable
to comply with the usual ceremonies
required of Army posts in honor of
Memorial Day, just because the post
is not furnished with a flag. The re-
QUESTION for the national colors is in,
but Uncle Sam has so far failed to fur
nish the bunting. The flagstaff is
there, and the only flag which has flown
from its peak since the engineers have
belonging to a resident, and that one
has been blown to tatters. Therefore
when the bugle blew the familiar call
and the men were out of their quarters
no flag was run up the halyards because
there was none. The regulations re
quire on Decoration Day that the flag
be run to the peak and then lowered to
halfmast. Then just at noon, as the
regulations say, the band shall assemble
and play the national air, but Fort De
Russy has no band; following the band
salute of twenty-one guns shall be
fred, but Fort De Russy has no guns,
and therefore the flag which was not
on the flagstaff was not saluted Then
the regulations, or orders, say that the
flag at the conclusion of the salute shall
be hosted to the peak and remain there
until sunset. But Fort De Russy, hav-
ing no flag, this order was not complied
with. Some time Fort De Russy will
have flag, and when all the Coast
Artillery troops promised for the forti-
fications around Honolulu are here, a
band may also be stationed there, and
then, in due time, Fort De Russy will
have one of the finest batteries in the
world, and so the reveille, flag raising
and halfmasting, band music and gun
salutes can be carried out.

JUROR BECOMES SICK;
 CARRIED FROM co URT

While sitting on the jury in the Montgomery City Court yesterday morning. Thomas J. Stringfellow. en- nloved by the Atlantic Coast Line Rail- road. and residing at 210 Ripley Street. was the victim of a fainting spell. caused by an attack of acute indiSes- lion. and he had to be carried from the court room.
 He was taken into the Solicitors of- Ace and a physician was immediately summoned. who pronounced the trouble due to indigestion. After he had suf- fictently revived. he was removed to his home on Ripley Street.
 MT. Stringfellow was a member Of Jurv No. and was not engaged at the time he collapsed. Judge Brown just at that moment was delivering a charge to jury No. 1, MT. Stringfellow was removed from the court room as quietly as possible and no excitement prevailed.
 At A late hour last evening MT. strlngfellow stated that he felt much better and he had fully recovered from the III effects of the morning. He stated that he had never had indiges- tion before in his life. He also said that he arose yesterday morning not feeling exactly well and he attributed 1t to something he had eaten the even ing before.

 But the gentleman from Butler will not deny" said Mir. John, that he voted for liquor. The Jefferson Coun- ty leader charged that MT. had lodged the vote on constitutional pro- hibition.
 T would rather see man coming here when the lights are turned on and vote for and against an important measure than to stay away at the crucial moment" said Mir. John.
 This called Mir. Long to the floor immediately.

Everybody knows that my being pres ent would not have changed the situ- alton as 1t needed sixty-four. votes to pass it. I was at lunch at the time. I am willing to leave 1t to this body if my stand on any measure here is sincere"
 MT. .Gunter took the floor to deny the evident fnnuendo that he was among the Palmer and Buckner crowd. and to charge that Mir. Maner of Mont gomery was adv6cating the bill be- cause he was of the disgruntled ele- ment in Montgomery politics and be- cause he was of the defeated element in recent elections. He chargd also that many of the active supporters were of the disgruntled element in Montgomery. Mobile and Birmingham.

 Mr. Gunter said MT. Frank Glass and The Advertiser had consistently sup ported the bill and that one Alderman in favor of the bill. MT. Parrish, had been caught working against me.
 Bill Goes on Calendar. Mir. Gunter made a sensational ap- peal to save the bill going on the cal. endar but by vote of 37 to 46 the House tabled the motion of MT. Long of Butler. to lay upon the table the motion of MT. Urquhart to take from the adverse calendar the commission government bill. Then followed the vote to take from the calendar. Mir. Urquhart winning.
