CALIFORNIA RESERVE
TO MISS ENCAMPMENT
FOR PRESENT YEAR
[By Latest MALL


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-The annual
encampment and target practice OF
the California coast artillery reserves
is definitely OFF this year, SO far as the
rank and file of the corps IL concerned,
and instead Of any general encamp-
ment the officers Of the corps and 30
non-commissioned officers will go into
an instruction camp at Fort Winfield
Scott on August Is, remaining there
until August 20. Actual target prac-
tice will be gone through by the OFF,
GERS and "non-coms," however, both
with the rifles and mortars, thus Civ.
ing the officers some much needed
service work. ~
At the militia armory at Fourteenth
and Mission streets, the coast artil-
in such manner that indoor work
with the mortar that has been install
ed and sighting drills can be held reg.
ularly. A small vessel run by electri-
city is used for target Next to actu-
ally handling coast defense guns the
indoor practice gone through regularly
by each of the companies is proving
of great value. e.-
1t now seems as II all the maneu-
yer camps planned by the mobile
troops Of the state militia are on, and
it is not expected that there viii be
any camps whatever this year. There
was no extended maneuver work last
year, either, and many men now in
the state service have had no opportu-
nifty to become acquainted with field
work .

AERO-WIRELESS

TO navy DEPT,

The u S. S. Mississippi on her trip
from Pensacola to Hampton Roads
sent an important telegram to the
Navy Department by aeroplane. On
account of the length of a radio mes.
sage and local interference a message
from the Mississippi to the Navy De.
partment could not be successfully
transmitted by ratio from the Mississ.
ippi. Twenty-Five miles outside the
Capes of the Chesapeake, Capt. H. C.
Muslin therefore stopped the Mississ.
ippi, hoisted out a navy aereplane in
charge of Lieut. p. N. L. Bellinger,
with Ensign NJ. l.. Stolz as assistant
air pilot. This aeroplane promptly
cleared the water and climbed to an
altitude of 1000 feet and then made
for the Virginia shore and proceeded
to Hampton Roads. The important
telegram was delivered and sent from
Hampton Roads three hours before
the mississippi arrived There was
surprise in the Navy Department to
receive telegram from the Mississip-
pi before her arrival there Lieutenant
Commander Muslin, in command of
the Mississippi and of the Aeronautic
Station, showed resourcefulness by
using the navy aeroplaIe in this prac-
teal way. This is in keeping with the

BOARD
IS Under PROBE
BY SEC. Daniels

WASHINGTON.-To cure alleged
evils of the "plucking board" plan of
preventing stagnation in the Navy, as
revealed in the congressional inresti-
cation of the elimination from the &C
tive list of certain naval captains Of
unblemished records, an effort prob
ably, will be made at the next session
of Congress to substitute for the pres
ent law scheme of promotion CON-
bining the features Of both seniority
and selection. - !:
Secretary Daniels has already
caused to be gathered from the vari-
Gus branches of the. naval service a
mass of data and suggestions embody-
ing the views of officers of every
grade and condition. This is to be
turned over teI a special board of ma
val officers over which Assistant Sec
rotary FrankliHf d. Roosevelt will pre-
side with view to the preparation
of q bill for submission to Congress
in the expectation that legislation can
be secured in time to forestall the
appointment of another plucking
board next spring.
While this board in dealing with
the whole question of recognizing
the personnel of the navy will have
before ii number of suggestions
looking to Z proper plan of promo
tons without recourse to "plucking,"
the dominant idea is that where an
officer has not made an exceptionally
good record, he will not be arbitrarily
retired, but allowed to remain in his
grade. This would involve his being
passed over by better equipped Off
GERS below him which would amount
to the adoption of promotion by Sc
lection.

The last game OF the Army league
baseball series as far as the teams at
Schofeld Barracks are concerned will
be played by the 25th Infantry and 4th
Cavalry at the athletic park Sunday,
August 2, at 2:3O p. m. The 4th Cav
airy have been working hard in prep
aration for this game and are conf.
dent of being able to give the 25th Ing
fantry the surprise of the season. The
18th is equally confident of winning
this game, which if won will give them
undisputed rights to the championship
and to the big cup offered by the Ho-
nolulu Brewing and Mailing Co. In
case the 25th Infantry should lose,
they will have to play a special series
with the coast defense for the cham
pionship. 1t is more than likely that
a special series of games will be play
ed by these two teams in any event,

are undoubtedly the best army teams

in the territory The 25th Infantry
propose to make strong fight for the

VIM. HoEFLE DIES

A. telegram was received Saturday
ing them of the death in Los Angeles
that day of VIM Hoefle. No details
We're given as to TIE cause of his
demise, but it Is known that he pas
sed away very suddenly. A year or
more ago he was very i'll in Cali
fornia as the result of a paralytic
stroke and it is presumed that he was
again stricken, causing his death. He
had just returned to his home in Los
Angeles month ago, after a visit
OF a few weeks in Central. The
announcement of his death came as
a decided shock to his friends in Gil
pin county.
Mr.. 'Hoefle was a man about go
years of age. He had been a resi-
dent of Gnpin county thirty years,
being engaged for some time in the
teaming business. OF late years he
had lived a life of retirement. He
was a man of jovial disposition, kind
hearted, always agreeable and pleas
ant and everyone who knew him was
a friend. He leaves a wife, three
daughters and one son, residing in
Los Angeles. The funeral was held
Monday.
peculiar circum stance in connect
ion with the death of Mr.. Hoefle is
that Sherman Harvey, a lifelong
friend, received a letter from him
on Monday of this week, dated Nov.
9th, the day before he died. In the
letter Mr.. Hoefle stated that he had
been feeling miserably since arriving
in California, but at the time of
writing felt much better.
