CITY LOSES A HORSE.
Animal Dragged Down Bank Into River
and Was Later Shot

Down 35-foot embankment on Brook
lyn street just opposite the engine house
toppled a horse and dump cart when
the driver attempted to empty the con-
tents of the cart over the embankment
into the river Saturday afternoon, and
the fall proved fatal for the horse as it
sustained broken leg in the descent to
the river and was later shot by Officer
David Henderson. The driver jumped in
time to prevent being injured or descend
ing with the wagon and horse. In some
inconceivable manner the horse was part
ly canopied by the heavy wagon SO that
it could not emerge from it sufficiently
to be released from the harness. Where
the accident happened the water meas
ured nearly six feet to the river bed in
which the entire outfit rested.
The team had been backed to what
appeared to the driver sufficiently safe
spot to allow the load Of street refuse to
be spilled over the edge of the bank.
However, the ground under the wheels,
softened by the recent rainfalls, allowed
the wheels to sink in, causing part of
the bank to give way. This started the
vehicle down. Old Tom, who in his prime
was fire horse at North Barre, sub
stituting until only recently whenever
other horses were disabled at the sta
tion, could not gain footing quickly
enough to prevent the disaster, so was
dragged to the bottom. For nearly 20
years the horse has been attached to
some stable and used by the city and
was considerably crippled by the school
Of hard knocks.
Sunday morning, Superintendent of
Streets j. c. DeBrune, together with sew
eral city workmen and pair of horses,
removed the dead horse and wagon, with
one shaft broken, from the river.

BRITISH DISpLEASED.
Say the League of Nations Covenant Is
Now Worse Than Before.

London, April l4.-The summary of
the amended covenant of the league of
nations evokes no enthusiasm in the Lon
don morning newspapers, and some COM
mentators declare it to be less satisfac-
tory than the first draft. The Chronicle
for instance, fixes certain points, which
it thinks makes the new draft distinct
ly, and perhaps devisively, inferior to the
old"
The newspaper condemns the policy of
requiring unanimity for the decisions of
both the council and assembly and also
condemns the terms upon which the COW
enant may be amended and permission
given any nation to withdraw on two
years notice. 1t regards the covenant
as unharmed by the Monroe doctrine
amendment, which it believes should fa-
cilitate the decision of the United States
TO the covenant.

Somewhat Twisted.

A prominent business man, TO fill an
order from a local customer for an ice
plow an instrument used in ice cutting
operations, had to telephone. This is
the message the merchant read to the
girl at the other end of the wire: ''Send
us by express an ice plow complete with
tongs and rail"
There was some difficulty in carrying
on the conversation, owing to trouble
with the telephone, but the girl assured
the merchant that she had the message
all in good shape. Guess it would be
well to read it back to me-" the mer-
chant suggested, as matter of preeau-
ton. This is what he heard:

JAPAN INTERPOSES
A RESERVATION
France Also Reserves Right
to Renew in the Plenary
Session the Questions In
vOlved i'm the New Amend
ments to the Covenant.

Paris, April 1.-THE council of -four
did not meet this morning Instead
President Wilson had long conference
with Premier Orlando and other Italian
leaders on the Adriatic problem, one OF
the last vital questions remaining to be
discussed by the council.
Premier Orlando recently suggested tc
the president the advisability of inform.
al exchanges over the question of Fiume
and Italy's claims in the eastern Adriat.
ic. President Wilson, in concurring with
this suggestion promised to give the
matter his personal study. The confer,
enee to-day probably was the outcome
of this suggestion.
Paris, April l4.-The status of the
American, Japanese and French amend
ments to the covenant of the league OF
nations has been, definitely established
so far as the league OF nations commits
sion is concerned, with the American
amendment concerning the Monroe doc
trine the only one to be given place in
the covenant by the commission. The
French and Japanese, however, have both
made reservations which entitle them tc
renew, at plenary session of the peace
conference, the questions involved in
these amendments 80 that the final de.
cision ia still open.
The chief question as regards the peace
terms remaining to be settled now that
the Sarre valley and repsration problems
have been disposed Of in virtually all ol
their details is that of the Rhine from
tier. The council of four is likely main
ly TO occupy itself with this question
during the present week, the debate
probably centering upon the French con
tention for security from military
standpoint, the French attitude being in
dicated as a determined one on thi,
point. II is understood also to have
been largely Frances fears-from mill
tary standpoint--of what might happer
should there be another German ATTACK
that influenced her representatives il
their sustained opposition TO the Monroe
doctrine amendment to the league o.
nations covenant. Their argument wa
that ii the Monroe doctrine principle
were given an European application thC
effect might be that the United States
might be kept from again coming to thu
help of France in the event of future
German ebullition.
