 Finally the crush became so great that Police Lieut.. James Conroy sent in riot call and the reinforcements succeeded in restoring order. pho tographer who exploded a flaslllight powder, is said to have contributed largely to the disorder.

No Decision Reached

During the past two days there has
 been considerable extra session talk in Montgomery and various rumors are
 being circulated to the effect that the
 state lawmakers may be convened in extraoi dinary session before the end
 of the summer The governor de-
 cines to say whether or not he will call a special session. He declared to
 The Age-Herald correspondent this
 afternoon that he had the question un-
 der serious consideration, but that he had not reached any decision in the matter.
 The chief executive stated that there
 was a probability that lie might call the legislature together sometime dur ing the summer or fall but refused to commit himself.
 The governors statement was in line with former announcements regarding
 the probability of calling special session. As matter of fact, he has promised to convene the legislature in Special session before he retires from office in order to give Jefferson coun- ty relief from the fee system and for the purpose of inaugurating other much needed reforms, but there is a
 call until few weeks before he re-
 tires from office. This would give the
 lcgislature ample time to pass certain
 important measures
 However. the impression obtains here that the governor will not wait so long
 before calling the legislature together.

Administration vindicated

It is declared that the recent p1i- mary election was to some extent al viadication Of the present administra- ton. inasmuch as B. B. Conner. the de- featet candidate for the nomination for governor, had made the admins trafion a target of many strong and persistent attacks.
 With the election over and with the question settled as to Comers political status in the sate. fl Is believed that the legislature. should it meet in spe- cial session at the call of the gov ernor. would be harmonious body and would work for the best interest of the state at large.
 It is known that many of the gov crnor's close personal friends and ad- visors have recommended d special session and present indications point to the converting of the state solons before many weeks have passed How ever the governor is silent on the question.

Owner Pronerlv Dealt With.

About this time a little more than a
hundred years ago in the history Of
boat building at Pittsburgh and down
river there was much complaint of I'M
scrupulous work which brought great
loss to owners on account of the sink
ing of vessels and ruin of cargoes.
An interesting case was tried before
Justice Richardson of Pittsburgh.
whose decision was rendered Novem.
Der Z, 1907. a boat owned by MIR.
Winchester struck on a rock a few
miles below Pittsburgh, was stove, and
sunk The owner brought suit against
the master, claiming the disaster was
due to his carelessness. The master
produced a rotten plank that had been
broken by the impact, and claimed
that had it not been for this the &C
cident would not have happened The
master was discharged by the Justice
and Winchester had TO lose his boat
and several thousand dollars worth OF
merchandise. This and other similar
occurrences led to the appointment Of
inspectors, but not until 1912.

POPULAR DAlNTIES OF ITALY
Recipes for Plotted DeIleaeies That
Are Not Well Enough Known
In America.

Housekeepers may be interested in
trying to make these ported dainties.'

all ingredients are procurable here. To
make potted tomatoes, cook a peeled
and shredded onion with three fair
sized tomatoes very slowly to pulp
I'm half an ounce of butter
Then pass through a sieve, add a
we'll whisked egg and stir over the
fire until thick, when, having blended
thoroughly, add two ounces Of grated
cheese, then four ounces Of fine white

bering that rigorous exclusion of air

not keep very long
Imitation anchovy paste may be
made from the same recipe, adding
two teaspoonfuls of anchovy essence
to impart the desired flavor.

MAKES A SPLENDID DESSERT
Housewives Should Learn More About
the Possibilities Of the Hum
Bile Chestnut.

Few women are aware what deli
cious deserts may be made with the
humble little chestnuts. French
cooks know the worth of chestnuts
full well. and their recipes are justly
celebrated.
For chestnut mousse, a delicacy 1t
for the gods. or a luncheon de luxe,
shell and blanch about two cupfuls of
chestnuts which have been boiled until
tender. Rub the chestnuts through
sieve, and stir them carefully into a
pint OF whipped cream, to which have
been added half a cupful of powdered
sugar and teaspoonful Of vanilla ex-
tract Add two teasponfuls of maras-
chino cordial, turn into a mold and
pack away in ice and salt for five
hours Serve with whipped cream
dashed with rum.
To make marrons glaces, delicacy
that is rather costly when bought at
a confectioner' yet which is Of great
value to the housekeeper who loves
tasteful garnishing, select large, per-
feet chestnuts Shell and simmer
pint Of the nuts in boiling water until
tender. Drain and toss into cold water
to make them firm. Let the chestnuts
drain a moment. then turn them out
on a towel and see that each one is
thoroughly dry A strip must now be
made by boiling a cup of sugar in a
pint of water and in this simmer the
chestnuts for an hour. Drain off the
strip and to It add a few drops Of
vanilla extract Then cook it until 1t
becomes brittle when dropped in cold
water-as one tries candy. Set the pan
of strip in larger pan of hot water
to keep the hot strip from cooling and
candying, and dip in the chestnuts one
by one, removing them and placing on
oiled paper.

edge OF the turkey. - 4 49,. 1900
But whatever dispute has arisen as TO tne name
NJ the turkey the fact yet remains that the tur'
kew is Indigenous to America. Although sclehtlsts
believe Il is possible that there was specles'
the original OF the present turkey lnulsenoue W
the West India islands, it is generally conceueu
that all turkeys have descended IN some way or
other from the three forms known today as the
North American the Mexican and the Honduras,
the ocellated varieties
The Mexican turkey is found wild throughout
the republic. II is short In shank, with feathers
on its body OF a metallic black shaded only slight
ly with bronze while all it's feathers are tipped
with white.
The Honduras turkey today is scattered all over
most Of Central America and is extremely wild.
The bronze turkey. that variety which today
holds the place of honor in the North American
group OF turkeys, is outdone by none when it
comes to beauty or size Black, beautifully shad.
ed with rich sbronze, the breast plumage being
dark bronze illuminated with a lustrous finish OF
Coppery gold. it's plumage gives full warrant for
the name by which this bird is known.
The fullgrown, healthy bird is a beautiful pic.
ture of bronze black, copper and gold, and some.
times weighs 40 more pounds. Other varieties
known in the barnyard, and recognized
among dealers as having distinctive markings, are
in reality only highly developed fowls with pre-.
served peculiarities.
In the United States there are six standard va.
retes recognized and grown. These are the
bronze, Narragansett bun, slate, white and black
The chief differences are in size and color OF
plumage'
The bronze and Narragansett are the largest,
the bun and slate medium while the white and
black are the smallest Within late years, how.
ever the white variety has reached such a point
Of popularity that IT has increased in size until
with some dealers it occupies third place.
Whatever the turkey may have missed through
falling 10 that place of honor suggested for
it by benjamin Franklin-as the national bird
1t has nevertheless found place In the regard
OF the American people which is held by no other
fowl
Time was when TURKEY. as many as could
be carried, might be had for the asking Then
came the period when so cents would buy plump
young fowl. Even short a time as ten years
ago turkeys could be purchased for from to 20
cents a pound, dressed.
