MR.. KNOWLES REASONS.
lie Tells Why He is Fighting Thos
8. Lewis.

Horace G.. Knowles came out in an
interview yesterday telling why he is OPP
,oSrl to Thomas s. Lewis for tax col
'crtor Of the Northern district. lie said:
My reasons for opposing Mr.. Lewis
ire political and not PERSONAL and are as
follows:
First. he has been iir Office six years,
'hrcr successive terms, one term of two
ears as street commissioners, and two
rrnls Of two years each ms tax col
'ector. AS n matter of principle | be-
ievr that adopting a system of three or
'olr term nominations Is not conducive
d the best interests of the Republican
mrty. There are too few offices and too
many deserving men for Mr.. Lewis or
my man 10 aSk for fourth consecutive
term in office.
..Sccond. That Mr.. Lewis in order TO
induce his present opponent to withdraw
lnd give him n clear field two years ago,
n the presence of a prominent and repu-
able Wilmington business man, prom
s,al. agreed and pledged his word OF
honor that he would not he n candidate
his year. and should his then and pres
nj opponent decide to be a candidate
his year he G.ewis) would pull off his
.oat and do everything in his power for
him Every man who considers his
word as good as his bond and who, If
he had made such an agreement as was
made by Mr.. Lewis, would expect to live
lp 10 it. cannot afford to vote for Mr..
Lewis at this nomination and thereby
ll him to profit by doing an act that
questions his integrity and breaks his
word of honor"

PICTURES ARE DEFECTIVE.
Smiths Photo Does Not
Resemble Him.

The members of City Council last even
ing selected the styles of frame they de-
sired for the group pictures taken re-
Gently. The pictures are excellent like
ncsSes.
There are but two defects noticed by
councilmen. One is that the counten-
anccs of some of them are too dar't and
one of the councilmen who is upper
stious declares that it is bad ONE and
indicates defeat for them at the ming
election. The other defect is that "oun-
Gilman Smiths picture does not look like
him. The trouble with it is that NTH
bore happy smile when the picture
was taken. Since an opposition candi-
date has sprung mp against him IA the
Eleventh ward he has lost his smile and
he does not look like the picture.

TRADE BOARD
STOP WORK
Abandons All Hope of Retaining
Engineer Office.
COMMITTEE is DISCHARGED
President LaWton Stated That it Was
Thought More Coed Could be Ac-
complished by Keeping the
Office in Philadelphia.

1t has been decided to make no protest
TO the War Department against the re-
moval Of the United States Engineers
Office from this city. This decision was
reached at special meeting yesterday
afternoon Of the Board Of Trade COM
mittec which had the mater in charge
The committee decided to drop the
subject entirely.
William Lawton, chairman of the COM
mittrc stated after the meeting that
he committee had gone over the matter
thoroughly from business point of
view.
He said: "Uuder the existing condi-
lions the committee did not think it
wise to make any further protest against
the proposed removal Of the office. We
have no appropriation for Delaware and
no chance to get one any time soon.
What little is left from the appropria-
zion of two years ago will have to be
dSed very economically to carry ont the
project now on hand.
Major Raymond of Philadelphia who
after the change takes place will have
'harge of this district. the committee
thinks. is friendly to Delaware. Major
Raymond has Il great deal of influence
II Washington and it is the opinion that
he will be able to do more for Della
ware than any one else we could hope
10 get General Smiths resignation will
take effect on July 1 and if fight was
kept UP for the maintenance of the office
in all probability lieutenant would be
II charge of the Office. The committee
links that with no appropriation and a
orrson with no more influence than a
lieutenant, the Office would not be much
'mneiit to Wilmington.
Mr.. Iawton received reply yesterday
rom his communication which was sent
% the department ut Washington several
lays ago asking that the committee he
civcn u hearing. The letter stated that
he department would he glad to give
he committee an audience Mt any time.
Mr.. Lawton has answered the letter.
iniing that tllr committee has decided
ioi to make any protest. The committee
has been discharged.
