AFRAID OF A COLLAPSE.
East wing of school NO. VIII Soon

Mayor Wanser. Street and Water Cons
missioner Brown and School Director
DAILY this morning discussed the i'm
provement of School No. / and decided
to tear down the east wing. The work
will begin on Monday under the direction
of William Robertson
The reason for this action is that for
long time the walls in the east wing havs
shown signs of weakness. They we're
out of plumb
Although l did not believe that tho
wing was in any immediate danger OF
eoilapsing, | deemed it best to call the
attention of the Mayor and the Street
and Water Commissioners TO the school,
Mayor Wanser agreed with me that it
would be foolhardy to take any chances
We came to the conclusion that the only
thing to do under the circumstances was
to tear down the wing. explained School

MUSTANG WENT WILD.
Caught Near the Erie Tunnel After
n Lively Chase.

A horse said to be a Mexican mus
tang, one of a car load of sixty con-
signed to Philip Hexamer of Hoboken
for shipment to Europe escaped while
being taken from the car at the West
Shore Railroad depot in Hoboken. 1t ran
along Second street and jumped over the
embankment into the meadows. The
animal continued to run to the eastern
entrance of the Erie tunnel, where it be-
came frightened by the trains. Police
from both the Second and Third pre-
unsuccessful. The horse was severely
cut and bruised by attempting to climb
the rocky hillside.
Finally the animal was captured by
Thomas Coyne and Edward Berry. VIM.
Murdoch, who had the horses in charge,
told Coyne to hold the mustang until Mr..
Hexamer arrived and he would pay him
SO. When Mr.. Hexamer did come he
demanded the horse and offered Coyne 81
for his trouble. Coyne refused this and
declined to give up the animal. On COM
plant of Murdock, Coyne was thereupon
arrested by Policeman Maxwell on a
charge of grand larceny
When arraigned today before Acting
Police Justice Van Beuren, Coyne said
that the horse ran into his yard and
therefore he thought he was entitled to
more than 81 for capturing and caring for
it. AS the horse had been delivered to
Mr.. .Hexamer the charge of grand larceny
was dismissed and Coyne discharged. He
said he did not even get the 81 which
Mr.. Hexamer first offered him. but in
stead suffered night in cell.
1t is said by the railroad authorities
that there is a regular gang of men who
make it practice to stampede horse
or two every time shipment arrives at
the depot Before the horse is stam-
peded several of the gang locate them
selves at various places in the swamps
and among the rocks on the hillside
near the depot. and when the frightened
horse comes near one of them captures
him and of course claims reward.
During the year, it is said, several hum
dreds of dollars have been given in re-
wards for the capture of runaway horses.
the horse by one OF the gang when the
animals are being taken from the cars
1t IS owing TO this stampeding practice
that Coyne was arrested, as it was at

THE ARMENIAN RESOLUTION
A NICE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION RAISED i
REGARD TO IT

A NICE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION RAISED ~
REGARD TO IT
Washington. Jan. with regard To IN" so-called
"concurrent resolution" as 70 Armenian affairs
which makes request on the President 10
hiring the opinion Of Congress to the atten-
ton Of the signatory Powers to the Berlin Treaty.
A nice constitutional question was raised In the
House OF Representatives during Its discussion
and IS again raised In official circles az to whether
this "concurrent resolution" is not In fact Joint
resolution" within the meaning - Article J. Section
g. Of the Constitution of the United States. II this
is So It Of course follows that however misnamed
concurrent or otherwise the resolution falls with
In the provisions Of the third clause Of the section
referred TO- which requires that every order resoli-
tion or vote to which the concurrence OF the Senate
or House OF Representatives may he necessary Tex
cept on a question Of adjournment shall be pre-
sentcd 10 the President Of the United States, and
before the same shall take effect shall be approved
by him or being disapproved by him. shall be re-
passed by two-thirds OF the Senate and House OF
Representatives according 20 the rules and limita-
tions prescribed in the case OF a bill"
II is held by parliamentarans that bin enacted
enters permanently into the statutes, that Joint
deals with Of temporary existence
while a concurrent resolution relates TO an affair
exclusively connected with Congress. IA the ad-
iournmeni OF both houses for longer period than
three days. or an order for the payment OF small
bgingInv in any executive interference A sharI
line IL thus drawn between affairs relating solely
to legislative matters ana thos" involving executive
action.
Under the circumstances y IS vigorously con
tended that the Armenian resolution ~ really joint
resolution though called concurrent one and that
IL not signed vetoed by the President. II VIII be-
come law by limitation and Will 90 on the statutes
t the end OF ten days in default OF executive action
on IT, This position IL strongly held by officials OF
long experience. They say that the mere inscrlbinl
OF the resolution on the blank forms used by Con
gress for concurrent action cannot change the ma
ture Of the subject matter, and the suggestion L.
made that the President may take this view and
call the attention OF Congress TO the Irregular form
In which the matter Is presented for his official
action.
