Promptly at noon, -the members of the retiring board, with the exception of the new mayor, took their seats at the official table. They were called to order by Mayor Smith. A feature of the assemblage was the presence of a number of ladies, who gathered to witness the exercises. They dis played marked interest in the differ ent features. In calling the assemblage to order Mayor Smith asked the spectators not to talk, and to remain as quiet as possible throughout the exercises.' Captain Thomas D.

Mayor Smith stated that before turning over the keys of the city to his successor he had a few remarks to mak He stated that he had often been urged by a number of his friends t( write out statements but that he ad thought it unwise to do-so. Throughout his official term as mayor he had tried to fill honestly and truly the obligations of the oath which he took two years ago. He felt that the splendid progress which had been made by the city under the guidance of the retiring Council would be con Ceded even by any enemies. What eTr success his administration had met with had been due to the co-operation of ,he members of council and the citizens. Special credit had to be glven to the streets and wharves de partment, and .'to the police -department, for Sjgnal accomplishment.

He believed that conservatism and delay, in many cases, had served to save the city money, mentioning the sewerage question. The mayor had sought a higher power daily for guidance and believed that aid and comfort had been given. Mayor Smith then appealed to all fair-minded citfzens to join hands and co-operate with the new adnrinistra. tion. He thought the new mayor and members of Council would ever heed advice and would lend a willing ear to advice or counsel. He asked any one with - grievances, or suggestions not to rush into the newspapers post haste, but to take up the matters with the new officials. The latter would . ever be ready to assist and listen to reason or argument. The mayor hoped tha tthe good orders of the past two years would be main tained, and that in future if some one said his own administration had been a good one, that it would also be said that the succeeding one of Mayor Moore had been a better one. Mayor Smith then asked Recorder John J. Furlong to administer the oath of office to the new mayor. This, the Recorder did, a new Bible pre sented to the new mayor being used for the purpose. The Bible contained the following inscription: "Wilming ton, N. C.,, May 6th, 1913, to Parker Quince Moore, mayor of Wilmington, from his former associates on City Council, as. a token of respect and es teem' The signatures were of the retiring body, the city attorney, and the city clerk and treasurer, The oath of office taken by Mayor Parker Quince Moore, and administer ed by Recorder John J.

Pursuant to the call of Governor Fielder the New Jersey legislature convehed in spe cial session today to take up the sub jects of jury' reform and the calling of a convention to revise the Constitu tion. Suggestion is also rnade in the Governor's call that the legislature should pass a valid enactment ratify ing the popular vote in - adopting the provisions of a small freeholder board act in several of the counties. The' principal subject to be consid ered by the lawmakers is the question of having commissioners, appointed by the courts, select grand jurors in stead of the sheriffs.
