TESTIFY.

The High School Committee of the
Board of Education last night met to
discuss the recent hazing of Thomas
O'Neill, a sixteen-year- pupil Of the
school, by members of the Forensic So
ciety. Superintendent of Schools Henry
Snyder, President John Ward, of the
Board of Education, and Principal Hen
ry Hopkins, of the school. attended the
conference. Young O'Neill, it will be
recalled. was put through an unusually
severe initiation after being elected to
membership of the Forensic Society. At
ter taking a solemn oath not to divulge
what transpired concerning his initiation
he was blindfolded, stripped to the waist
and his body decorated with snakes and
dragons, ETC., painted with iodine. 1t is
also said that he was made to drink ink
and eat soap. But something that was
not originally on the programme hap
pened that got the Forensic Society into
trouble with the school authorities. His
shoes had been lowered by rope and
dangled in front of a window of the Del
phian Society," secret organization OIL
High School girls, who were holding a
meeting at the same time on the floor
directly below. The girls swiped the
shoes and refused to hand them back
when demanded. O'Neill. it is said,
still blindfolded and barefooted, was led
down the stone stairway to the door of
the Delphian Society, and when they re-
fused to hand out O'NeilTs shoes the
door was forced and O'Neil was pushed
inside, to the horror of the girls. O'Neili
refused to tell anything about the incl
dent, as he claims he is under oath.
The High School committee at its con-
ference last night recommended that the
Forensic Society should hold a meeting
under the direction of Principal Hopkins
and adopt resolutions embodying apollo
gies to the Delphian Society and to the
High School. the form of which shall be
prescribed by the Principal of the school;
also directing the Principal to suspend
any further meetings of the Forensic So
ciety in the High School building indef-
nitely. The Principal is empowered to
prescribe such conditions as he may
deem suitable to be complied with by the
Forensic Society before the Society
shall be allowed to resume its meetings
in the High School.

SENTENCES MAY
Be CONSECUTIVE
Supreme Court UphoIds the
Right Claimed by New
Jersey Tribunals
MAHANEY WRIT DISMISSED
HUDsoN NAN SOUGHT RELEASE
FROM PRISON on THE GROUND
OF ILLEGALITY BUT HIS PLEA
FAILED.
lspealal . ..ras Jer.sy cIty &C.,

Special to 'The Jersey city Newzg'1
TRENTON, Dec. Z. 19o5.-By an
opinion fled at the State House yestss-
day. the Supreme Court decided that
the New Jersey courts have the right to
impose consecutive sentences. The de-
cision was in the case Of John Mahaney,
Of Hudson County, who petitioned the
court for a writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that he was Illegally being held
in State Prison on a fve-year sentence
after having just served one of seven
years. The contention was that the i'm
position of the consecutive sentence was
contrary to section 81 of the criminal
procedure act of 1898. which holds that
all sentences must begin within 20 days
after they are imposed.
The opinion filed yesterday holds that
the court has the power to impose con
secutive sentences and that this power is
not affected by the act in question. The
case was argued at this term before JUS
tees Fort. Garretson and Reed. The
opinion was written by Justice Reed.
The decision will affect about so pris-
oners at the State Prison, several Of
them from Mercer County.
The petition for the writ set out that
Mahaney was convicted at the December
term, 1899, Hudson County Court, on
two indictments for the crime of break
ing with intent; that he was sentenced
on the first Indictment to seven years
in the State Prison and FIVE years on the
second.
The seven years expired August 25,
1905, and Mahaney is still imprisoned by
virtue of the second sentence. Copies Of
the commitments were annexed to the PEI
tition. On the back of the second COM
mitment is endorsed: saThis term to be-
gin at the expiration of the sentence I'M
posed in indictment No. SO. September
term. 1899"
The opinion says the question that
court possesses the power to impose a
sentence to commence after the term Of a
preceding sentence was decided in Eng
land in ITO, and the Judgment was af-
frmed by the house of parliament. This
right, the opinion declares, is well recog-
nized in common law, and rests in COM
mon sense as well as in authority. Says
the opinion further
'It is apparent that unless consecutive
sentences can be imposed, the court must
either suspend sentence for one offense
until the expiration of the time Of i'm
prisonment named in the other sentence.
at which time the personnel of the court
and of the prosecutors office may nave
changed, and the facts essential to the
imposition of a sentence become difficult
of aseertainment; or else the court must
impose concurrent sentences, the effect
Of which is to entirely nullify the effect
of one of them.
''For these reasons the great weight of
authority in this country is that without
any statutory provision for consecutive
sentences, the power to impose them re-
sides in the court.
''For these reasons We think the petit
ton should be dismissed and the petit
toner remanded."

The measure requires that motor boat
