Washington. March 10.-A telegram re-
ceived to-day from Denver at the Ialt
beadouarters reported that a primary cleo
ton held in Denver County, including the
city Of Denver, 422 men and women com
mitteemen were elected from that county
Of whom 400 are for President Tart Tor re-
nomination.
These committeeman, under the state law
are the representatives of their party, ana
as such will choose the delegates from Den
yer County 10 the state convention. Ihey
will send to that convention solid Tait
delegation from Denver County. This
county represents about 40 per cent or the
Republican strength in tho state and makes
certain a Taft delegation to the Chicago
convention.
Thus, under the proper regulation OF
state primary law and In primary where
only Republicans have been permitted TO
vote, the Republicans have again declared
their almost unanimous belief that Presi-
dent Taft is the strongest candidate the
Republican party can nominate for Presl-
dent at the Chicago convention.
Plainly indicating the source OF the
clamor Of the opponents of President Ialt
for Presidential preference primaries in
states where ne adequate law exists there
by opening the doors wide TO Democrats
who desire TO assist the Republicans In
choosing a candidate for President who
can be defeated by Democrat in NoVem-
ber a letter was to-day received at the
Taft National Bureau demanding such
primary. which was signed Harvey q.
Howard, ex-Republican," OF Indianapolis.

AVIS NOT A CANDIDATE

Pitman, N j., June 4.-"No, I'm not
a candidate for Congress and l have
no intention of becoming one, de-
clared former Senator J. Boyd Avis, in
commenting upon the rumor that he
would seek the Republican nomination
as successor to Representative Brown
ing in the First New Jersey District.
Avis is one of the Roosevelt dele
gates to the Chicago convention from
this district. His election was accom-
plished by such majority, especially
in Gloucester County, that some of
his friends decided they wanted Rep
resentative from this end of the dis
trict, and so they started the Avis
boom.
There's absolutely nothing to this
Congress business" said Avis. I'm
out of politics now, so far as being a
candidate for any office is concerned" !"

JOSEPH STEtLMAN
LEAVES BR|OGETON

Joseph Steelman, the we'll known
and successful building contractor,
will leave Bridgeton, his plans being
to permanently leave the city in about
two weeks. Mr.. Steelman will go to
Atlantic City where he will conduct
his business, splendid opportunities
being afforded at that place upon a
large scale.
Mr. Steelman has sold his North
Pearl street residence property to
George B. Loper, the clothing mer-
chant, and the latter will make it his
home.
There will be much regret that Mr..
Steelman is to disassociate himself
from the people and interests of
Bridgeton where he has long been
useful, respected and highly esteemed
citizen. Mr. Steelman is one of those
substantial. high minded men who are
a credit to progressive community,
and has been foremost in the work
that has advanced the town.
Mr.. Steelman was one of the most
influential members of Central NJ. f.
Church, and he will be greatly missed
there.

BR0|LtD sparrow
A DAINTY Dish

In most localities in the United
States English sparrows are a pest.
There is therefore no reason why the
birds should not be utilized for food
in this country, as they have been in
the Old World for centuries, says a
recent Farmers Bulletin, issued by
the Department of Agriculture Their
flesh is palatable, and though their
bodies are small, their numbers fully
compensate for their lack of size.
To kill mercifully sparrow that
has been trapped, place the thumb
nail at the base of it's skull and dis
locate it's neck by hard and quick
pressure. To dress it, cut off the legs,
the wings at the outer joint and the
neck close to the body; strip off the
skin, beginning at the neck; make a
cut through the body wall extending
from the neck along the backbone till
the ribs are severed, then around be-
tween the legs to the tail, and remove
the viscera
If sparrows are to be broiled, save
only the breasts, as this method of
cooking so shrivels and parches the
lesser parts as to render them worth
less. In this case tear off strip of
skin from wing to wing across the
back; grasp the wings in front of the
body in one hand, and the neck in the
other, and by quick pull separate the
breast from the ribs; turn the breast
out of the skin that covers it and sever
the wings at the second joint The
whole operation requires but fraction
of a minute and it can be done by the
fingers alone.
Sparrows may be cooked by any of
the methods employed for reed-birds
or quail. When boned, broiled, but
tered and served on toast they are
particularly good and compare favor
ably with the best kinds of small game.

CITY COUNCIL, 1912


City Council was last night held in
City Council chamber at City Hall. 1t
was a meeting of some importance,
although the matters were largely
those of detail.
In addition to the routine business,
Council promptly took up the matter
of fire protection and followed the re-
commendation of Commissioner
Hughes and authorized the purchase
of 1000 feet of new hose.
City Council also directed Comptrol-
ler Sharp to furnish $1S,200, the pur-
chase price of the West Jersey Aca-
deny for High School and a bond
issue will follow to provide the money.
With President Glaspell in the chair,
all of the members were present.
Building permits were granted
Frank Fisher to make repairs to the
store property at No. "a South Avenue
and also general repairs to the house
at No. 145 North Laurel street.
The H. w. Elbirn Estate, in reply
to the inquiry of Council, replied that
they expected to fulfill their contract
for flagstone just as soon as the quar-
| ries could get out the size stone re-
quired.
Grosscup and Sons, presented a COM
munication asking for an exemption
of taxes and water rent, under proyi
sion OF Ordinance No. 201, which was
upon motion of Mr.. Whipple, referred
to the Corporation Counsel for the
purpost of investigation.
j. Ogden Burt, Esq, addressed
council, and stated that the deed for
the West Jersey Academy property
was ready and had been approved bv
the Corporation Counsel, and that the
Receiver would deliver same as soon
as the city would provide the neces-
sary $1S,2O0.
George HI. Hughes, Commissioner of
Public Safety, made most complete
report covering matters in the police
and fire departments, stating that the
police officers were enforcing the Traf-
nc ordinance successfully, and that
an officer was now stationed each af-
ternoon and evening at the intersec-
ton of Commerce and Laurel streets.
The Commissioner also made a COM
plete review of matters as they exist
in the Fire Department, with particu-
lar reference to conditions on the
day of the Crystal Ice fire The report
gives the members of the department
full credit for the work ACCOMPLISHED
AFTER they reached the fire. The fact
that the telephone call was not sent to
the department until after the fire was
we'll under way, and that the plant
was located so far from the center of
the city, that the men could not reach
II promptly, were reasons for the very
disastrous loss. Another trouble was
the lack OF water pressure from the
small main on that street, The Com
missioner recommends that the CITY
procure more hose at once. and that
more men be stationed at the engine
house at all times.
Reports of the other commissioners
were presented and placed on file.
Engineer Clyde Potts presented a
report on the bids received for fur
nishing a centrifugal pump, and re-
commended the purchase of the Henry
K. Worthington pump, they being the
lowest bidder. The recommendation
Oh the engineer was concurred in, and
the Mayor and Clerk were authorized
to execute the contract.

LAMAR BETHEA
FqR DETECTION

The Eagle is authorized to place be-
fore the voters of Brazos county the
name OF Mr.. Lamar Bethea, who is a
candidate to succeed himself as coun-
ty attorney. He will abide by the de-
cision of the democracy of the county
as expressed at the primary to be held
|on July q.
Mr.. Bethea is serving his third term
as county attorney, and feels that the
service rendered warrants his again
asking the people for their support.
He has made a splendid record, one
that any man should feel proud of,
and on this record, and on his merit
alone, he stands for reelection. The
records of the county are the evil
dences of his stewardship. They are
open to the public and the closest in
vestigation is invited.
In the administration of the affairs
of the Office he has been vigilant and
absolutely impartial. All crimes have
been prosecuted, whether in high
places or low places, and no distinc-
tions have been made. While all vio-
lators of law have been prosecuted,
his administration has been free from
persecution. The principle of temper
ing justice with mercy has prevailed,
rather than persecution.
Mr.. Bethea recognizes the great
truth that the office belongs to the
people, and he is deeply grateful to
them for the favors shown him in the
past. II they deem him worthy, he
would again appreciate their support,
and promises them to continue to rem
der the best and most faithful service
he is capable of giving.
