ALDERMAN GLL LN7ZNA YES THAT ALI
 LS NOT WELL AT MUNICIPAL GARAGE
Tells Council Members That "There's a Nigger in the Woodpile Someplace" Another Report Next Meeting.

There's nigger in the woodpile someplace MT. Mayor and you know it." said Alderman John Gill at last
 nights common council meeting when he and others were heckling Chair man George Wells of the special municipal garage committee. It all came about in this way Colonel Thompson had just finished reading a request for s415 for the meeting of outstanding bills against the garage. At once there were some four or five watch dogs of the city's treasury ask ed Alderman Wells for information. Councilman David Nair suggested that the request for money be tabled until the report of the Investigating com mittee was read. The resolution car ried and Colonel Thompson read the added outburst of indignation against report which was the cue for another the garage. It is an open secret that Alderman Gill holds no brief for the municipal garage and the way it has been managed of late, not even when the report hinted that the garage was on the verge of a financial collapse did Alderman Gill sway from his pur- pose to try to get at the root of the matter by intimating diatory meth ods used at the garage. Mayor Pao- nessa encouraged Alderman Gill di- rectly after his "Nigger in the wood pile charges" by saying, Well go to It."
 Another Report Urged
 
 Alderman Wells was pressed by members to have another investiga- tion and a report ready for next meet ing and in that way give time for all outstanding bills against the garage to be brought in at that time. Alderman Gill suggested that it might be. neces- sary to advertise for outstanding bills Alderman Wells couldn't see it in that light for some 20 minutes, but he fin ally gave in and the matter now stands unsolved until the clerk of the garage also reports. The report was tabled until the next meeting.

British Policy Changes

London, Sept. 2S.-(By Associated Press)-The abdication of King Con. stantine of Greece. making again pos sible cooperation between Premier Lloyd George and ex-Premier Nenize- los may cause a lightning change in Great Britains policy toward the Turks, according to well informed circles today.
 It is asserted that possible new conjunction of these two former CO., workers is the explanation of the studied attitude of pessimism, which since yesterday has been radiating from 10 Downing street where this morning much apprehension was ex- pressed regarding possible war-like acts of the Turks in the vicinity of Chanak.
 May Effect Reorganization
 With Constantine out of the way, it is claimed there will be once more a chance of recognizing the best forces of Greece under Venizelos whose Cre- tan soldiers were the backbone of the army until Constantine replaced the officers with hls own sympathizers.
 It is pointed out that the present revolutionists in Greece are reported to be not only pro Venizelist, but pro- ally and further that they are men who believe heart and soul in the greater Greece. It is not believed that they will yield Thrace at least to the Turks without struggle.
 New Phase Of Question
 Among military observers familiar with the situation it is not doubted that an entirely new phase of the whole Near East situation is being ap- preached It is generally reported that Mir. Lloyd George was reluctant to abandon the policy toward the

Complete Reversal Of Britain's Policy Is Be- ing Looked For To- day.
Retiring Monarch Was De. spised for His Pro.Ger. man Activities.

London, Sept. 2s. (By Associated Press)-The British government thi. morning took grave view of the situation in the Dardanelles whicE was regarded critical coupled with the revolutionary developments ir Greece. The opinion was expressed that there is greater prospect o1 fighting between the British and Turkish nationalists than at any pre- vious time.
 Await Harrington Report.
 The cabinet was convened today tc consider a message from Brig. Gen Sir Charles Harrington commanding the allied forces in Constantinople summarizing Mustapha Renal Pa sha's reply to Gen. Harrington's warning against violation of the neu- tral zqe along the straits. The reply was considered to be evasive and am- biguous.
 Two views may be taken of Musta pha Kemal Pasha's intentions, it is stated. One Is that under the cover of his cavalry. he may be bringing up artillery and material, and doing all he can to compel the British to fire the first shot. The less serious view is that he is truthful in his state ment that he does not know where the neutral zone extends.
 Great Responsibility.
 It is pointed out that Gen. Harring- ton is laboring under tremendous re- sponsibility. He has been told to do all possible to avoid war but to use his own judgment regarding the ne- cessity Of fighting to maintain the British edicts. It Is understood that he has the full backing of the gov ernment which will support any &C., ton he takes,
 Tn his reply Mussapha Renal says the Angora government does not rec ognize any neutral zone. He complains been anchored near Constantinople and also about the action of the Brit ish troops in the region around Cha nak on the southern shore of the straits. Allegations are made that the British have destroyed Turkish roads and Turkish homes.
 Says He Can Enter Thrace.
 Mustapha Renal also claims the right to cross the so-called neutral zone and to enter eastern Thrace, where he claims the Greeks are kill ing the Turkish inhabitants. He con cludes by saying he hopes to avoid any conflict with the British.
 The revolutionists apparently have an idea of defending Thrace accord ing to messages from Athens.
 Three revolutionary generals are in charge in Athens which is quiet.
 Warships Arriving.
 Warships manned by revolutionists have arrived from the Greek islands. The crews paraded the streets yester Jay and demonstrated in front of the British and other legations but no dis orders are reported.
 Saloniki according to- the same source in Athens is equally quiet and we'll regulated. The officers of the -onstantinian regiments have been given permission to continue their du- ies on the promise they will make 10 trouble.
 The report that P9nce Paul, young ,st son of former King Constantine of Greece is a prisoner of revolutionists ,n board the school ship Eli is with ut foundation, according to a Reu- CTS dispatch from Athens.

In Message to Public. He Urges That Undivided Support Be Given Crown Prince George Who Had Ascended to His Throne.

A1nenS. sept. Zs, tBy Associated Press) king Constantines abdica tion came after dramatic scenes, witt the palace surrounded by an angry mob of revolutionists demanding his dethronement,
 Had Threatened Sovereign. It was not until the mob threat ened to seize the person of the sov- ereign that an emissary appeared at a window of the palace and an- nounced the abdication.
 Gen. Papoulas had previously been sent to treat with the revolutionists but finding his entreaties unavailing, joined their cause himself. The gov ernment then sent a second envoy, but the mob was obdurate, declaring:
 We are resolved to dethrone the author of Greece's misery"
 Constantine's Message.
 Constantine addressed the following message to the Greek people:
 Yielding to the solemnly expressed will of the Greek people returned to Greece in December, 1920, and re-
 
 then and took a solemn oath that I would respectfully observe the ar tices of the constitution.
 This declaration corresponded both with my private desire and that of the Greek people as we'll as the in terests of our country, Within the limits of the constitution I did every thing humanly possible for the de- fense of the interests of the nation.
 Urges Unity of Effort.
 Today regrettable misfortunes have led our country into critical situa- instances in the course of her cen turies long history will again over- come her difficulties and will continue in her glorious and brilliant path, pro- vided she faces the danger with a united front and is assisted by her powerful friends
 Not wishing to leave in the mind of anybody the slightest suspicion that, by remaining on the throne I have prevented to however slight degree the sacred unity of the Greeks and the assistance of our friends l have abdicated the royal power.
 Asks Support for George.
 Prom this moment, my eldest son. Prince George, is your king. The en- tire nations will rally around him, will assist him with all its forces and at the cost of all sacrifices in his difficult work.
 AS for myself. l am happy that another opportunity has been given ne to sacrifice myself once more for Greece and I shall be still happier when see my people whom have 70 much loved. surround their new ling with perfect concord and lead he fatherland to fresh glory and fresh ,reatness.
 Ready to Fight. My sacrifice is slight. l am pre- pared to fight at the head of the lrmy in the interests of the country f the Greek government and people hould consider such service useful to he fatherland.
