The question of whether civil service regulations shall govern ap- pointments and promotions in the fire and police department has been referred to the common council by the charter revision committee, Cor- poration Counsel John H. Kirkham having advised that existing regula- tions make it possible for the coun- cil to install such a system. This opinion, given to the commit- tee at its meeting last night, - uts an end to the discussion which en- livened the organization meeting last week, and which threatened a strong fight before the cities and boroughs committee of the legislature.

The baby was taken from the sewer catch basin to a hospital where doctors said thers was a good chance for it to recover. The in- fant suffered from exposure but docters said that unless pneumonia set in the infant probably would live. . Joseph Berkowitz a milk man was traveling along his regular route in Brooklyn when he heard the indis- tinet cries of an infant. Getting out of his truck, he traced the gries to the sewer catch basin. He summoned two patrolmen and they in turn called an ambulance and a police rescue squad. The iron manhole cover was frozen down as the temperature last night fell below the freezing point. The rescue squad found it necessary to melt the {ice from around the manhole cover and then pry the big fron covering away with crowbars. The mud within the catch basin was frozen over and on top of this lay the infant. It was whimpering and crying and plainly suffering from the acute cold. Its body was covered partly with a small cloth and partly, with old newspapers. 1ts chest uncovered. ‘The infant was taken immediately to King's County hospital.

URGE ABOLITION OF STEANER CELTIC Liner Remaios Fast on Rocks 0nf Ireland THOUGHT IN GREAT PERIL Hand Pumps Used in Effort to Re- duce Water Which Threatens to Destroy Transatlantic Greyhound =—Big Rent in Side. Cobh, Ireland, Dec. 11 PM—Heavy seas today pounded the liner Celtic as she remained fast on the Cow- and-Calf rocks at the eastern en- trance to Cork harbor. Fear for Crew Fears for the safety of the skele- ton crew which remained aboard brought a lifeboat from Ballycotton to the ascene, and it was standing by today. Three tugs also were tossing on the rough seas, keeping & cepsc- less vigil Because of the rough weather, it was believed the liner was in the greatest peril. It was thought that unless the next attempt to haul her oft the rocks where she was at the mercy of the pounding seas was successful, the Celtic would be in immediate danger of being smashed completely. Hand Pumps Used Hand pumps were being used to keep down the water which poured through a huge hole in the liner's bottom and « big rent in her side. Part of the rent, deep in her hull, was being patched with mattresses in an effort to stem the rush of the water.

Chairman Borah of the committee predicted favorable action on the treaty when the vote is taken. While no opposition to the pacf, which bears the signatures of al- most every nation of the world, has appeared outwardly, there are indi- cations of trouble. Some senators, of both parties, are talking private- ly of asking reservations. Chairman Borah of the committee is confident of votes for the treaty in its present form, both in the com- mittee and on the floor. He has with him 8enator 8wanson, Virginia. the ranking democrat on the com- Mayor George A. Quigley and Mayor Paonessa. Those who will represent the city at the next assembly session announced they would oppose en actment of civil service legislation but an effort was to be mafje to have the plan adopted. The generdl powers given the com- mon council to supervise the con. duct of the police and fire depart- ments are broad enough to include a system of tests and credits, mak- ing it unnecessary for the city to go such a proposition. Members of the committee are in agreement with fire apd police board members that the 3\'\'0 commissions, under the present charter, can bring about civil service if they see fit to do so. Voting Precincts Recommended With one change, the recommen- dations of the registrars anent a precinct plan was adopted, the re. vision committee agreeing to the suggestion that there to two polling places in the first ,third, and fifth wards, but regarding it unnecessary to have three in the sixth. The reso- lution to go before the common council will specify two precinets within the sixth ward, the bounda- ries to be fixed by the selectmen and the registrars with the approval of the common council. Committeeman Stanley Uchalik favored creating a seventh ward in the Farmington avenue district, and an eighth ward in Belviders Sena- tor E. F. Hall objected, calling at- tention to the motement to reduce the size of the common council in stead of enlarging it, and other members of the committee failed to see the benefit of additional wards, It was agreed that the objective sought is to improve the system o taking the vote on election day, and that the precinct plan is the solu- tion. 5 Council to Tix All Salaries After some discussion, it was vot- ed to have a resolution prepared giv- ing the common council the right to fix salaries of all city employes.

Delpe was picked up on Chestnut near Main street Saturday night by Offifer Delbert Veley who arrested him for Intoxication, but Sunday morning when it was discoyered that he was not able to move his limbs Captain George Kelly ordered his removal to the New Britain General hospital.
