 HOOVER COMMENCES
Chile Exemplifies Friend ship for United States
 by Warm Welcome .s

Santiago, Chile. Dec. Il R-The traditional friendship between the United States and Chile which has existed since the foundation of the republic was exemplifed anew today in entertainment provided for Presi- dent-elect Hoover. The festivities celebrating this goodwill visit includ- cd luncheon at the presidential palace arranged by President Ibanex for Mir. Hoover. Members of the Chilean cabinet and immediate mem- bers of the Hoover party wers in- vited to 1t.
 While MT. Hoover was being en- tertained and conferring with Chil- can officials. American business men in this country today expressed tho view that the visit of Mr. Hoover, while devoted entirely to the promo tion of goodwill. would prove to be of infinite benefit to the commercial relations of the two countries.
 One American said that more than s600, 100000 of American capital al- ready was invested in Chile. and that Chileans realizing the extent to which MT Hoover had promoted the relations between the two countries, would welcome further influx of American money for the develop ment of natural resources. Regret was expressed that it was necessary for Mir. Hoover to limit his visit to two days and officials and others mapped out a crowded program for the final day of his stay.
 Members of the Chilean cabinet were invited to call at the Amert- can embassy for reception to Mir. Hoover. More than 500 Chileans and Americans alreadys have been re-

COUNCIL TO PASS
 0N CIVIL. SERVICE
Charter Revision Committee Dis pute Avoided by Action
KIRKHAM GIVES OPINION
New Voting Precincts in First, Third, Fifth and Sixth Wards-Council Will Establish All City Salaries Accounts to Be Inspected.

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 system.
 This opinion, given to the commit tee at it's 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. Civil service was proposed in a resolution introduced in the common council and 1t found favor with former 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 made to have the plan adopted.
 The general 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 two 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 precincts 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 Q seventh ward in the Pennington avenue district and an eighth ward in Belvidere. Sena- tor E. F. Hall objected, calling at tention to the movement 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 of taking the vote on election day, and that the precinct plan is the solu- lion.
 Council to Fix All Salaries After some discussion, it was vot- ed to have a resolution prepared giv- ing tho common council the right to fix salaries of all city employees. The council holds this right in almost all (Continued on Page Two)

INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
 HITS UNITED STATES
Spreads Over Country, Forcing Colleges to
 Close Doors

Washington, Dec. II LF - AL though in the epidemic stage in some sections. public health officials do not believe the present outbreak of influenza is a widespread as those epidemics that swept the country in 191snnd 1920. Nor is it considered as virulent in character. for the death rate thus far is considered low
 Nevertheless, influenza is held re- sponsible for the closing of five schools in widely separated sections. though the approach of the Christ mas holidays might have contribut- ed to that.
 The University of the South at Sewanee, Tennesseee. Culver Mill tary Academy. Culver. Indiana; the University of Missouri. Columbia; the Seminary of St. Therese near Montreal! Quebec and Lewis college, Lewis, Quebec. have suspended classes because of outbreaks of the disease.
 No deaths were reported at any of the schools, but at Sewanee half the students were said to be i'll. One hundred and fifty had the disease al Columbia and at Culver 6S had re- ported to the infirmary since Satur- day.
 Three other schools also reported that influenza had made its appear ance on the campus. It was charac- te ized as an epidemic at the Uni versity of Iowa. but classes have not been ordered to suspend. Glasses are also meeting at Virginia Polytechnic institute. Blacksburg. Virginia, but students may 'leave for home after procuring the permission of health authorities. At the University of Georgia, Athens. 37 were in the in- firmary with G cases reported but classes are, being held.

 The priest, 1t is recalled. had con- tinuous misunderstanding with the bishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic church of America, who wanted to replace him. The bishop communicated with him in several instances. but the priest paid no at- tention to the correspondence. it is said. He he was finally summoned to appear at the chancery in Phila- delphia to which summons he paid heed and two days later returned in the middle of the night, packed up i his belongings and disappeared without leaving word of his destina- tion. The news of his disappearance spread and with 1t the story of his break with the bishop.

Fear that foul play may have been the cause of the death this morning of EugeAe Delpe, 54 years old. has prompted Dr. John Purney. deputy medical examiner, to per- form an autopsy upon him this aft ernoon so that the exact cause of the death may be determined.

ANTI.WAR PACT UP IN SENATE FRIDAY
Foreign Relations Commit. tee Reaches Tentative
 Agreement on Voting

Washington, Dec. II R-A tenta- tive agreement to vote on Friday on the Kellogg anti-war treaty was reached today by the senate foreign relations committee after 1t had questioned the secretary of state a second time. Chairman Borah of the committee predicted favora ble action on the treaty when the vote is taken.
 While no opposition to the pact, which bears the signatures of ai- 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 Senator Swanson. Virginia the ranking democrat on the com mittee.
 But the threat of delay in consid- ering the pact has thrown . scare into the administration ranks. President Coolidge made q special request in presenting the document to the senate that it be ratified be- fore the close of his administration. March 1.
 Realizing that time Is a valua ble element in the contest. proponents of the pact are preparing to press their cause. They see no reason for hearings. Secretary Kellogg who signed the treaty at Paris last sum- mer on behalf of this nation. was asked to be subject to call of the committee again today. but he had busy hours ahead of him with a cabinet meeting and the Pan-Ameri- can congress on his calendar. There is talk of two reservations. One would be a reassertion of the Monroe Doctrine in respect to it's relations with the North and South American continents. Another, un- der consideration by Senator Reed. democrat. Missouri. would consist of statement relieving this nation of any responsibility in enforcement of the pact if the League of Nations should undertake to assert a viola ton of it by any country.

M'Fated Submarine to Be Used for Experimental
 Work by Navy

New London, Dec. II (UP) - A llttle less than a year after 1t car ried 4o men to death on the ocean bottom off Provincetown, Mass, the submarine S-4 was en route here today on an errand of mercy.
 Upon arrival here. the s-4 will be put through tests in Block Island Sound. The submarine. which has been thoroughly recommissioned since 1t was raised to the surface, has been equipped with several un- tried safety devices which naval of- ficials hope will make submarine disasters such as the S-l and s-5l tragedies less likely.
 The S-4, lowed by the tender Falcon. left Portsmouth, N. H., navy yard at 6:o5 a. m. today, ac cordings to word received here. II is expected to complete the 200. mile trip by tomorrow. noon, ac- cording to Commander F. c. Cutts of the submarine base here.

 Among the devices to be tried by the S-4 is the lung" an apparatus permitting breathing under water for short periods without the neces- sity of wearing cumbersome div ing suit. Lieutenant Charles E. Momson. the inventor. is expected here today to direct experiments with the lung.
