BAD LOADING PAN
CAUSE Of DISASTER
Plenty of Explanations for
Explosion on Battleship
Georgia.

After the first board appointed by the
Navy Department to determine the
cause OF the recent explosion on board
the battlesnip Georgia has given in its
report, showing IN detail how the acci-
dent did not happen, and while the
second special board appointed by Act
ing Secretary Newberry is wrestling
with the problem as to how the accident
may have happened. ordnance officers
woo have themselves wit1essed the fir
ing on board the Georgia and who have
inside information as to true conditions.
gave the story OF how they believe the
accident actually did happen.
Their version Is accepted by certain
officers In the Bureau Of Ordnance. Ac-
cording 70 these officers the cause of
the bareback which ignited the powder
IN the after-superimpOsed turret OF the
Georgia was that the loading pan which
the gunners used, having no grooves to
let the air escape, stopped the passage
OF air which snould have elected the
burning gases forward and allowed
these gases to be blown back into the
breach % the gun.
When Informed that ordnance officers
nad given out the secret of the Georgia
disaster Acting Secretary Newberry
said; at IS very possible that the aeci-
dent happened that way. No more load
ing pans viii be used In the navy IN

Methods of handling meat In Smyrna
AFFORD an excellent opening for Ameri-
can manufacturers of refrigeratOrs to
sell much OF their wares there, accord
ing to a report sent to the state De-
partment by Consul E. L. Harris.
Consul Harris says:
with few exceptions the shops are
small, dingy. and badly ventilated, with
hooks on the street front on which the
meat is hung up. a prey to flies and
wasps, AID a temptation to the usual
army Of dogs and cats found In Turkish
towns. There is. however. a perceptible
tendency. toward Improvement, which Is
gradually creating a demand for up-to-
date butcher shop appliances OF these.
the first In consideration is undoubtedly
the refrigerator. During the summer
months the temperature in this locality
ranges steadily between 50 and i9a de-
gree Fahrenheit, so that IL is practically
impossible to store meat for several
days without having recourse TO ice
chests.
AT present. nearly all butchered
meat IS disposed Of for immediate con-
sumption, when accounts for the gem

The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-10-01

The City of Clarksburg is not
more than Is years old, yet it is
forging ahead to a place amid the
great Industrial and commercial cen
tiers of the country. Built on gas,
SO to speak, and on coal, Its growth
has been almost unparalleled.
Dwellers in Clarksburg speak of
their city fondly as the Fuel City
of the Fuel State" West Virginia
is rich in all natural fuel resources,
and Clarksburg is in the heart Of
her riches. Some snall-spirited
visitors have called Clarksburg a
boom town, but 1t is not that 1t
has all the hustle and energy of q
boom town, but 1t has more. It
has perseverance and devoted citi-
zeus. This makes its boom perman-
emit.
Clarksburg is situated in the cen-
ter of the largest natural gas field IN
the world and over one of the larg-
est coal deposits. Gas sells here,
ready piped to your house or fac
tory, at cents a thousand feet.
The supply seems inexhaustible and
there should be no increase in price,
as it is a commodity municipality
owned Coal retails at 81 per ton.
This is for the best of both soft and
hard coal. There are some grades
that do not bring anything more
than rs cents per ton.
yo1o1a n
natural manufacturing center.
The plant of the Phillips Sheet 6
Tinplate Company, the largest indi-
vidual producer OF tinplate, roofing
plate, and uncoated material in
West Virginia, is located here. The
output of this company for 1905 was
approximately $4,000 tons Of finish
ed material It's markets were in
every part of the country.
Not a pound of coal was used
throughout the ,.t' , p'art last year
the 11iy 2ut seing gas, and the ex-
cellenca of p6is is attested by the
size of the ortput and the continued
running of tle plant. About 600
men (nearly all of whom are skill
ed laborersJ were, and are, con-
stantly employed and were comfort
ably housed in modern houses.

the attention of manufacturers of
glass and pottery. Many are moving
their plants to this city, one of the
more recent being the Tuna Glass
Company, which came here from
Bradford, Pa. This will be the larg-
est window glass plant in West Vir-
ginia. 1t has a 60-blowcr capacity,
and will employ from $50 to 400
men. 1t expects soon to have its
plant ready for the fall blast.

By an act of the legislature OF
Virginia in 1885 the town was es-
tablished and among the names of
the original trustees we find those
of VIM. Raymond, Nicholas Carpen-
ter, John DAWSON and others. AS
in the march of progress. frame
buildings give place to those of
brick, stone and steel of fre-proof
construction, so the log cabins long
since disappeared and are perhaps
onl va reminscence Of the oldest In.
habitant. Under an act OF General
Assembly, in 1884, the town was
selected as the county seat of Har-
rison county, and its first court
house of frame construction on coll
umns of stone. was located at the
corner of Main and Second streets,
the Jail being conveniently near on,
the opposite side. These also have
disappeared to make room for more
commodious structures in keeping
with the growth of the city. The
first county court was held at the
home of George Jackson in 1884, and
it is gratifying to notice that in these
early times religion and education
were not by any means neglected.
Government of the City.
The government of the city of
Clarksburg is invested in council
of ten, elected by the citizens, head
OF ten, elected by the citizens. The
officers and council are at present as
