WASHINGTON, June 12.—Uncle Sam Is
waked up to the fact that the wireless
telegraph and telephone may play an im-
portant part in the nexa war, and ex-
perts of the army and navy will begin
a series of elaborate experiments this
week at Brant Rock, Mass., where a
high-powered wireless station has been
erected.
If the tests are successful, a contract
will probably be let for the equlping
of a 600-foot tower in Washington with
high power instruments and furnishing
two sets of combined telephone apparat-
us for ships.

Tho army's greatest Interest lies In
the wireless telephone.
Gen. Allen has at his disposal about
$30,000, to be used in purchasing suit-
able apparatus for the Army's use. Ex-
tensive use will be made Of the wireless
telephone during the Atlantic fleet's sum-
mer maneuvers. The vessels which will
participate In the maneuvers are equip-

The State labor commissioner's depart
ment contemplates several chanfies
the method of gathering statistics for
the department next year. The law gov-
erning the department is so broad that
it requires the gathering of statistics
covering every industrial enterprise In
the State. Other departments such as
the State mining department, nnd the
corporation commlsslonn ure required to
gnther statistics affecting railroads, tel-
ephone companies, oil and coal mining
properties, which has resulted In a du-
plication of statist^ in these classes
' Industry.
The labor commissioner contemplates
discontinuation of the compiling of sta-
tistics, which properly fall under the su-
pervision of the corporation commission
and State mining departments with the
exception as to those relating to the
number and class of employes engaged in
these industries.
Assistant Labor Commissioner Ashton
stated today that the labor department
may next year gather statistics from the
produce houses on the amount of ft
products consumed In the State giving
the proportion that is grown in Okla
homa, and that which Is shipped In
These figures in connection with the In
formation gathered by the State board
of ngriculturo as to the amount of pro-
duction would prove valuable as an In-
ducement to growers to come to Okla-
homa and raise products of which there
is a big shortage In the home supply.
Statistics relating to farm labor will
also probably be added to tho labor com*
mlasloners' report for next year.

WASHINGTON, June 12.—Reports re-
ceived at the Navy Department today
stato that al1 the shirs of the Atlantic
fleet, whlv'h have been undergoing a
thorough ov^liftullng since their rec-
ord tmaahl'li tour of the world, are
about ready to proceed to sea. Wed-
nesday Is tho date set on which the ves-
sels at th" various nnvy yards must
be completed for service and proceed to
Hampton Roads to re-assemble for the
summer maneuvers.
According to tho program outlined
nt the Navy department, iliu fleet * 111
pfldeeed to sea on Thursday or Friday,
and any vessel late In arriving will join
the rest of the command at sea, it
being proposed not to delay the fleet at
Hampton Roads. The program contem-
plates anchoring generally for night on
the Southern drill grounds, partly for
exercises In anchoring together and ele-
mentary night exercise.
The fleet will return to Hampton Roade
on Juno 24 and after coaling will, about
June 29. proceed to sea again for drills
and maneuvers, arriving nt ports along
the New England coast on July 2. There
will be liberty for the crews between
July 2 and rt, the fleet reassembling at
Roekport, Mass., on July 7. The target
practice will be hold cn July 12, 13 and
14, under conditions more severe than
have ever before prevailed. The sub-
sequent period up to August 9 will be
taken up with exercises at sea, going
over tho measured miles and turning
trials. A feature will also be made of
torpedo defense practice. In the firing
which takes place the ranges of the
tnrget, which will be moving, will not be
known and the guns will be fired while
tin ships are rolling in order to present
the most unusual and difficult conditions
of attack, such as might exist during act-
ual warfare.
SUNDAY DAY OF REST
Every Sunday during the summer will
be given over to the encouragement of
boating, fishing and swimming parties,
in order that there may be at least that
much diversion for members of the
crews. On August 9 the ships will be
