The change in the patients condi-

it was some hours before the ne

getting the. sentence committed.
When tlkl talk reached tho ears
of Miss Charlotte Tracy, sister Of
the dead man, she called upon
Governor Blanchard and urged
him not to commute the sentence.
but to allow the slayer oe her

MUCH INTEREST
IN FILTER PLANT
City Officials Visit it And are
Surprised at Its Size

Much interest was taken by city off,
cials on Saturday afternoon in the trip
to the Weldin farm, where the inter
plant o. Wilmingtons new water
system Is in course of construction
and is expected to be completed by
the first of the new year.
The city officials went to the plant
at the invitation of the Water Com
missioners and some of them who had
never been there before we're greatly
surprised at the immensity OF
the plant. The trip was
made in automobiles, and the
visitors were shown over the plant
by Chief Engineer John A. Kienle, of
the Water Department. and James L.
Ferrebee, engineer in charge at the
plant.
In the party were: Water Commis-
sioners Shaw and Poole; President II.
w. Howell, of the Board of Health;
Street Director Charles A. Rudolph;
John A. I<ienle. chief of the Water
Department.; Street Commissioner
Frank w. Pierscn; Leslie V. Christy
secretary of the Street and Sewer De-
partment; Chief Engineer Howard 3.
Griffiths; former Water Commissioner
Peter J. Ford; Charles G. Guyer;
/ President of Council James /. Ban
ming, Clerk of Council George IT. Nc
Govern and Councilmen Samuel II.
Benson, Jr., James Kane. Edward A.
] Higgins. Michael T. Conway, Norman
/ G. Downs. Harry c. Taylor. George L.
/ Bilderback. Walter Rash and Richard
c. McMullen.
It was explained to the councilmen
the necessity Of the preliminary sand
filter which was erected some time
ago at Sixteenth and French streets.
This filter eliminates from so to IS per
cent. of the impurities in the water
i and it is estimated that the final filter
plant will remove from between 90
and 100 per cent Of what remains. 50
the water will be as pure as it is
possible TO make it.
The filtration plant will have a
capacity of fifteen million gallons OF
water daily The anticipated cost OF
making the water supply pure will be
$3.50 per million gallons, as against a
cost in other cities of from $3.50 tc
$500 per million gallons. This will
make the cost of operating the Will
mington plant less than that of any
similar plant in the country: a fact
attributable to modern methods ol
construction.
The plant will probably cost a little
more than S2600OO. the contract price
of Coleman Brothers being S257.500
Several other expenses have been add
ed TO this total sum on account o
reservoirs. Some Of them are: Res
ervoir on Weldin farm. $4,000 new
pumping station. $4,000; two sets o
pumping engines, $3.50. .O00; boilers, 500
600: boiler house $4,000. This doc
not include the expenses Of pipe lines
etc. The total cost viii be fully ont
million dollars. bond issues to thi
amounted have been noated for tn
purpose.

KING PETER
HONORS KNOWLES
Decuates Former U. S. Min
lister to Servia With High
Order

Horace G. Knowles. formerly United
States Minister to Servia, Roumania
and Bulgaria. has been decorated with
the cross and star of the Order Of
Sava by King Peter OF Servia. This
is the highest honor within the gift OF
that monarch, and he sent a special
embassy with the emblem to this coun-
try.
The presentation took place in Phil
adelphia but owing 10 the constitu-
tional prohibition Mr.. Knowles will de-
posit the insignia with the State De-
partmcnt at Washington until the ex-
piration OF his term as Minister to
Nicaragua.
The provision is TO the effect that no
representative Of the United States gov
crnmont may receive gifts from for
eign rulers SO long as he is in tho Fed
eral service, except by special pcrmis-
sion Of Congress.
In an interview, Special Envoy Beko-
Witch spoke of the services Mr.. Knowles
had rendered TO the Servian govern
ment for which the honor was be-
slowed.
His majesty, King Peter. was nov
ed 10 honor Minister Knowles by a de-
sire TO manifest his appreciation Of
the services rendered by him 10 the
Servian people, said Envoy BeSovitch.
He showed great interest in matters
pertaining TO the country. He made
friends OF all with whim he came in
contact. He spoke well Of our coun-
try and its products, and then tried
to give us those good things Of his
country which he saw we did not
have.
what he said and did was great
encouragement 10 MS, and won the ad-
miration OF our king and his family
and court. When he saw that certain
European governments. through their
agents and newspapers, were, for po-
litical reasons. maligning our crown
prince. your minister was the only one
who had the courage and honesty to
enter a protest and tell the truth about
him.
II there were more diplomats like
Minister Knowles in the capitals of
Europe, there would be less friction be-
tween the nations and less danger Of
war. Tho United states government
could do nothing that would please our
king and people so much as TO send
Minister knowles TO us again"
The emblems presented 10 Mr..
Knowles are remarkable specimens Of
the Eoldsmith's art. The cross, with
its chased ornamentation and enameled
work. Is made of solid gold, and is
worn from wide silk sash that goes
over the shoulders under the coat and
across the breast. The star is made
OF solid silver and gold, and also has
on its face in the center the enameled
figure OF st. Sava.
