SHERIFF SHOT AT WAURIkA.

Waurika, Okla, Nov 12.-Sheriff
J. w Biffle of Jefferson county was
shot in the local Rock Island yards
about $50 o'clock this morning. The
sheriff was walking in the yards

officer with an automatic revolver.
One shot took effect in the left
forearm, one in the shoulder and
one in the left of his neck The
wounds are not serious. The man es-
capped and still had his liberty at ;
o'clock this evening, although a large
posse has kept up a constant search
all day. When last heard from the
man was about five miles southwest
of town, presumably making his way
to Red river to get across to tne
Texas side.

BULL MOOSE
HO[DON STATE
IS CLEAR GONE
PROGRESSIVE VOTE FOR COVER.
NOR IN RECENT ELECTION LESS
THAN 4,ooO THE REPUBLICANS
CAST $4,000.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 12.-The re-
cent election in Oklahoma gave forci-
bic illustration of the fact that the pro-
gressiye party has lost its hold on the
state The total vote cast in the state
for John IIickam, progressive candi-
date for governor, was less than 1000
as compared with republican vote
for about $4,000 for John Fields for
governor
The Progressives in Oklahoma, in
1912 Immediately following the repub-
lican national convention, practically
took control of the republican party.
In the legislature of 1913 the pro-
gressives secured the passage of a law
providing that their party should be
given a place on the official ballot in
the general election of 1914 and that
it should be recognized as a separate
political party thereafter if it should
poll per cent of the total vote cast
in the election. \ similar provision
was made for recognition of the pro-
hibition party.
The election result would indicate
that the plea of the republican organ
ization. made throughout the recent
campaign that to vote for. the pro-
gressive ticket was equivalent to cast
ing half vote for the democratic state
ticket, had much force with Bull Moos-
ers and that it won many of them back
into the republican fold. Progressives
in Oklahoma, however, contend that
the vote of their party in Oklahoma on
election Of a president would be much
larger than the recent showing.

V|Z|ER
NOT BLAMED
FOR TURK WAR
BRITISH AMBASSADOR ASSERTS
PREMIER WAS HELPLESS BUT
TOOK EVERY MEANS POSSIBLE
TO KEEP COUNTRY NEUTRAL.

London, Nov. 12.-The diplomatic
cores spondence from the British EN-
bassy at Constantinople relating the
events leading to the war with Tur-
key, was issued tonight in the form of
white paper. The correspondence,
which begins on August 3, and closes
o. "ember 4, portrays the grand vi
q. historical q striving to maintain
the neutia.- 'efy W. proving
no match for his Wa. - Envir
Bey, who, backed by Germany, was
determined to force Turkey into a war
against the allies"
The detention by the British govern
ment of the two battleships building
for Turkey in England provided Tur-
key, at the outset, according to the
white paper, with grievance, but this
soon assumed minor importance com
pared with the case of the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau, which,
with their German crews escaped the
allies and entered Turkish service the
vessels being bought by Turkey.
The grand vizier according to a dis
patch from the British embassy at
Constantinople dated on August 16,
admitted that Germany was doing her
utmost to compromise the Turkish
government. but gave solemn assur-
ance that Turkeys neutrality would be
maintained. This assurance was fire.
quently repeated and so impressed the
British ambassador, Sir Louis Mallet
that he wrote to Sir Edward Grey
that he was convinced of the grand
yizier's absolute sincerity
The grand vizier pleaded for more
time in which to get rid of the Ger
man crews of the Goeben and Bres-
lau, and explained that the mobiliza-
ton of Turkey was due to necessity of
avoiding being surprised by Bulgaria,
but, as stated in another dispatch from
the ambassador, Envir Bey had got
entirely out of hand and" continued
the ambassador, 81 gather that he
alone is responsible for the present
situation"
The situation as told in the cor
respondence rapidly became more crit
ical with Envir Bey virtually in con
troll. Turkeys preparations for hos
tilities became more open and her
breaches of neutrality more glaring.
All the while the grand vizier pro
tested his deep regret at the course
affairs had taken and still declared
he would do his utmost to maintain
peace.

STORY OF THE BATTLE REACH
LONDON TODAY, GIVING DE-
TAILS OF FIGHT.
CARRIED NO FLAG
Emden at Daylight Monday Steamed
Into Entrance of Lagoon at Keel
ing, Cocos Island, With Dummy
Fourth Funnel, and Tried to Take

forty ashore, which destroyed the
cable station and began graphing for
the cables.
At nine o'clock, the Emden sound
ed the emergency siren, summoning
the landing party aboard, but did
not wait for them. From the east
another warship was coming at full
speed. The Emden opened fire first
at a distance of over two miles.
The Emden's firing at first was ex-
cellent, while the Sydneys was err
ratio. This was because the EN-
den's first shot wrecked the Sgd
ney's range-fnding apparatus After
wards the British got their range and
shot away two of the Emden's fun
nels and one mast.
Still fighting, the ship disappeared
beneath the horizon, the Emden afire.
The battle lasted eighty minutes.
Tuesday the Sydney returned to
Keeling, saying the Emden ran
ashore north of Keeling Island an
utcer wreck. Meanwhile the Emden
landing party escaped on a schooner
The Sydney also sank the collier

CAMP PA|GN FOR NEW
 MEMBERS ENDED
Board of Trade Teams Se- cured S3 in Three
 Days Work

In it's three days membership cam paign the Board of Trade secured SS new members. according to reports made at a luncheon of the teams held at i2:30 o'clock yesterday at the Newspaper club. Yes terday was the last day of the campaign officially, but President Ewing suggested that the teams worlQatoday and make it a clean-up campaign, seeing all the pros poets. It is considered highly probable that today's wor kwill bring in suffi- eient number of new members to reach the 100 mark. which was set as a goal.
 Although the luncheon yesterday was for the purpose of hearing the reports of the teams, it developed into a regular Board of Trade meeting, the members talking on subjects of general interest. One piece of legislation was favorably voted upon. This was a result of the membership campaign, 1t being pointed out by one of the team captains that many foreign concerns have in Birming- ham branch stores, which are not permit ted to hold membership in any civic or ganizations.
 It was pointed out that the managers of litSt SloitS Wohihs III many be glad to become affiliated with some civic organizations, but were prevented by their home offices. On motion, and after much discussion. a committee of three was appointed to cooperate with a similar committee, which the Chamber of Commerce will be asked to appoint, to the end that all foreign concerns having branch stores in Birmingham will be
 Xl z..s. atst t.lf A names of their local branch, placed on the roster of the Board of Trade.
 In the discussion it was pointed out that such branch stores receive all the benefits derived by local merchants from the Board of Trade and give absolutely nothing in return,
 Another phase of the situation devel- oped when a team captain in making his report said that one local merchant re- fused to join, saying he would have noth- ing whatever to do. with any civic organ ization. The captain of the team stated that this firm formerly had been a mem Der of the Chamber of Commerce. The committee appointed under the first mo- ton will also look int othe matter of local merchants, and is made up of George Ratterman. J. Frank Rushton, and J. II Finder. Among those taking part in the discussion were John W. O'Neill, J. F. Shelby, J. H. Linnehan, J. Frank Ruston, J. H. Finder. J. Friedman and M. F. Linnehan.
 Those present at the luncheon were Rob ert w Ewing. J. Friedman, Adolph Hirsch. James G. Thompson J. D. Col lins, Redmond N Wheeler, P. H. Linne- han. R. A Mullins J. D. Rosenberger. ].
