Committee of Seven to mon Council-To Re- Be Appointed by Com port Before Dec. 30.

The Common Council at its meeting last night voted, on recommendation of Mayor Fred Atwater, to appoint a committee of seven to revise the city on or before December 80. for the Councils approval O. disapproVal, on whether the revised charter ought to be presented to the next session of the l. gIslatuTe.
 Charter Committee.
 The committee to be appointed by the mayor will comprise the city at torney, one Republican alder man, one three prominent citizens. In the may or's recommendation to the Coun- cil attention was called to the fact that there had been no general re- vision of the charter since 4s0h. In 1917 there was a partial revision.
 The finance conI4444ttee 1Ileauv ~ re- port the petition of the Board Of Education for a bond issue of Sl,3oo,- proposed east side high school and to carry out contemplated plans for re- lieving congestion and cvercrowded conditions now existing in the city.
 Park Board Petitions
 The Park Board petitioned the Council for an increased approl i4 s- tion for it's next fiscal year. calnn2 attention to the fact that the comfort stations in the several parks were forced to be closed during the winter because of lack of sufficient funds to keep them heated. At the last meet ing of the Council an alderman nov ed that certain comfort stations be kept open during the winter. The petition of the Park Board was plae- ed on file.
 Building regulations were waived after considerable discussion to allow the Police Department to construct an auto shed in the rear of Police Head quarters.

area served to bring the parentship to all intents under the same jurisdic- ton. In other cases, however, the British view was declared to be em- phatic that American enforcement agencics were without auth ority.
 Old Seizure Case Revived.
 In support of the contention that such ships as the Buema and the Gardner both which were captured by the American dry navy at points from seven to nine miles off the New Jersey coast, the British government was understood to have relied heavily ed States from British courts in 1895 in the case of the schooner Anna"
 The Anna. flying American colors was captured by the British privateer sippi river and her cargo of haywood was confiscated and sold. An inter estirg feature of the case was that as in the cases of the ships recently money found on board by the captors, was seized.
 Claim for the ships release was filed through the American minister in London on the ground that she had been captured within the marginal area over which the United States as serted exclusive jurisdiction The British courts upheld this contention and it is now declared that the United States is stopped by it's own prece- dent from going outside that mar gin.''
 The British note pointed out that Great Britain had already taken steps to prevent practices as to registry is suance and clearance papers of which the United States had complained of in it's note. adding that Great Britain had supplemented these steps since the American note had been received and it was hoped "the measure taken will prove successful in preventing any breaches in the local law

BRITISH CRISIS MAY BE FORGED TO
 HEAD AT SESS ION OF l)NIONISTS

London Oct 17.-CBy The A. PD- The meeting of Unfonists called for Thursday at the Carlton C1up will be of great importance as it is almost certain to bring the political crisis to a head. Until it's decision whether to break up the coalition or stand by Prime Minister Lloyd George is known the situation is not expected to develop materially in any direc- ton.
 Tho attendance at the meeting is to be confined to the Un1on1st men- bers of the House of Commons ana the JJniol.ist Peers who are members ct the government. Thus it will not be representative of the entire party.
 The explanation of this arrange ment is that when Austen Cha amber- lain was elected in March 1921 to lead the Unionists. in the Commons in succession to Andrew Bonar Law, he was not chosen to succeed the latter as leader of the whole party and that in fact, the leadership of the party has been vacant since MT. Bo- mar Law retired because of i'll health.
 Accordingly it is declared, Mir. Chamberlain is not answerable to the party as a whole and only feels called upon to explain or defend his de- clared faith in the premier to the cummoners and his ministerial col leagues.
 While it is agreed everywhere that the meeting will lead to events of ut most consequence, opinions are much divided as to exactly what will happen on Thursday. It is admitted as just conceivable that temporary truce may be patched up, but nobody places much faith in this outcome.
 The alternative views are that MT. ChurchilIs defense of the Coalition and his adhesion thereto, backed as it will be by Lord irkenhead and Sir Robert Horne and perhaps other min isters. will bring him a vote of con fdence by a large majority. A second view is that the meeting will declare against adherence to the Coalition, which would be equivalent to vote of no confidence in MT. Cham mberlain as Unionist leader in the Commons. Those holding to the latter expecta- . ton suprort it by Contending that practically half the constituencies represented by Unionists have declared against continuance of the Coalition. It is a fact, however. that many of the Unionist members do not intend to seek reelection to Parliament and may prefer to adhere to the Coalition ticket on which they were elected, notwithstanding the changed opinions of their constituents.
 Speculation is busy as to what will follow the meetings decision. which ever way it goes. Some observers suppose that if Mir. Chamberlain gets
