Colonel George w. Burr, ordnance de
partment; Lieutenant Colonel James
Lockett, cavalry; Major w. f. Flynn,
cavalry; Captain Fred C. Austin, Sd
field artillery, and Captain Edward
Davis, 18th cavalry, has been expert
menting with new equipment, and the
changes it has recommended are now
to be tried out under field conditions
at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
If the new equipment decided on by
the board proves as practical as now
seems certain it will be adopted for
the entire L. S. cavalry force In ad.
dition to obtaining the ideas of all
commanding officers of cavalry and
field artillery, the manufacturers OF
equipment, and studying the equip
ment used by foreign nations. the
board has conducted tests with a de
/ tachment of the Fifteenth cavalry al
the Rock Island arsenal.
| Several 500-mile test marches have
been made by two troops of the same
| regiment in eastern Kansas and the
changes in equipment have been rec
! commended only after long series o.
| experiments. The tests at Fort Ogle
thorpe will be made by two troops Of

That there will have to be either a
quick trial of the remaining labor cas-

against the IA men, is the stand which
has been taken by the attorneys for.

Word has been received from Mus

taken by the attorneys to secure either
one of these two results. The major
ity of the labor cases will be tried in
