TOWN CLOCK
SAY THE BOARD
BOARD OF COUNTY CoMMISSlON-
ERS HAVE GIVEN PERMISSION
TO HAVE 1T REMOVED BE.
CAUSE 1T is UNSATISFACTORY.

Ever since the completion of the
Carter county courthouse the clock
in the tower has been bone of con-
tention between the contractor who
installed it and the board of county
commissioners, who refused to pay
the $1,000 asked for it, claiming that
it was not satisfactory and up to the
specifications. This controversy has
been going on ever since the clock
was first started, and yesterday it
came to a sudden halt when the
board of county commissioners gave
permission TO the contractor to re-
move the clock from the courthouse
provided he did so without damage
to the building. Jasper Sipes of
Oklahoma City. from whom the clock
was purchased. has acted very nice
toward the county commissioners in
this matter, and there are grave ru-
mors afloat that the clock is all right
and would run if permitted to do So
When asked for the reason the COM
missicners and others shook their
heads and refused to talk. Just what
will be done toward installing an
other clock in the tower has not been
decided by the commissioners. The
citizens of the city and county are
going TO insist that one be installed,
but just when it will be done is an
other story, as the present board
wants little rest from clock con-
troversy nov and will not be in
hurry TO install another.

FLAMES CAUSED LOSS OF SEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS TO PLANT
OF EDISON COMPANY.
ONE MAN IS BURNED
Charred Body Of Unknown Man
Found Near Where Fire Starred
Two Others Missing - Scientific
Data of Edison Saved.

West Orange, n j., Dec 10.-At
least one man died in the fire which
destroyed the Edison manufacturing
plant early today. Two workmen
are missing. The charred body Of.
man was found in the room where
the fire started.
The loss Is estimated at seven mil
lion dollars.
The great mass of scientific data
collected by Thomas A. Edison in
thirty years work was saved
An entire square block of modern
reinforced concrete buildings which
were supposed to be fireproof were
burned out. The only building saved
in the block was the laboratory
building containing valuable scientific
machinery under the immediate su-
perintendency of the inventor. Thos.
A. Edison.
Special efforts made to save this
structure We're successful. 1t is esti-
mated that about 5000 men and
women will be temporarily thrown out
OF work because of the fire. In all
about 1000 persons were employed
at the plant but as the storage bat
terry building across the street from
the main plant was saved. with other
buildings nearby, it will be possible
to keep more than half the force
employed. Four firemen were in
jured in fighting the blaze and were
taken to a hospital. but are not
thought to be seriously hurt.

of age, I'll start all over again." said
Mr.. Edison.
The inventor expressed himself
thus as he watched the flames lick

mammoth electrical plant, started, it
is thought, by an explosion In the
building, one of the smaller

In all, eleven buildings and the
main building went down with the

London Elated Over Victory.

London, Dec. 10.-A British squad
ron, under command of Vice Admiral
Sir Frederick Sturdee, chief of the
war staff, engaged German squad
ron under Admiral Count Won Spec
off the Falkland islands in the South
Atlantic Tuesday and won a victory
which is being acclaimed throughout
England.
The armOred cruisers Scharnhorst
and Gneisenau and the protected
cruiser LIeipsig, three of the German
warships which had been menacing
British shipping and part of the
squadron which sank the British
cruisers Goodhope and Monmouth in
the Pacific on November /, were de-
stroyed while the cruisers Dresden
and Nurnberg the two other vessels
which composed the German squad
ron, made off during the fight and
ing pursued. Two colliers were cap
tured.
The announcement of this engage
ment and victory. which was the
most important naval engagement of
the war, with the exception of that
off Heligoland last August was made
Wednesday evening in a statement
by the admiralty of less than 100
words. 1t says:
AT 1880 a. m. on December s, the
Scharnhorst. Gneisenau, Nurnberg,
Leipsig and Dresden were sighted
near the Falkland islands by a Brit
ish squadron under Vice Admiral Sir
Frederick Sturde.
"An action followed, in the course
of which the Scharnhorst, flying the
flag of Admiral Count Won Spec, the
Gneisenau and the Leipsig were
sunk. The Dresden and Nurnberg
made off during the action and are
being pursued.
Two colliers also were captured.
''The vice admiral reports that the
British casualties are very few in
number.
Some survivors have been res
cued from the Gneisenau and the
Leipsig. but no mention is made of
any of the crew of the Scharnhorst,
which was the flagship of the Ger
man admiral. being saved and it Is !
thus presumed that Count Won Spec, |
his officers and men went down
fighting.
The British casualties were light, .
but beyond the fact that the British /
squadron was commanded by Vice ,
Admiral Sturdee no information was /
vouchsafed regarding the ships en-
gagged and the newspapers are en-
Joined not to speculate, as 'other
combinations may be effected"
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed
in London over the victory. and the
general impression is that it will be

not likely send ships that could not
overtake the Dresden and Nurnbers,
