The amendment was adopted shortly
after representatives of patriotic or
such an appropriation of Federal funds
was unconstitutional.
Two Amendments Approved.
The Senate also adopted an amend

He also read to the Senate a letter
from Representative Huddleston, Demo-

in Birmingham in need of help were
not receiving aid.
After the spectacular debate yesterday
between Senator Borah of Idaho and

CRACKS IN SCHOOL

Engineers Report Ross Build
ing, Near Wilson, in
Bad Condition.

The vacating of the Ross Elementary
School, adjoining the already abandoned
Wilson Teachers College on Harvard
street between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets, appeared imminent today when
engineers from the District Building
and the school system made examina-
ton Of cracks In the walls OF that Struc-
ture.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
Of schools, to whom the inspecting Of
flcial reported, announced early this
afternoon that the building probably
will not be vacated for several days
anyway" and that close watch will be
maintained by technically trained men
of the appertures to determine whether
they still are progressing,
Examination OF the Ross School was
made this morning by Harold H.
Marsh, chief of the structural division,
municipal architects Office, and Jere
r. Crane. business manager Of the
schools, who himself is trained archi-
tect. The inspection followed the va
eating yesterday morning Of the Wilson
Teachers College when engineers be-
lieved the building in danger of dis
integration as the result of discovery
of activity" in cracks and fissures of
long standing in that structure.
Formerly on Creek Bank.
Both the Wilson Teachers College
and the Ross School were erected on
what formerly was the bank of a creek,
tributary of Tiber Creek
Engineers who examined the larger
structure expressed the view that the
new activity in the cracks in the Wilson
Building was set up by the sudden re-
plenishing Of what must be now an
underground stream in the old creek
bed as a result of this Winters rains.
Following as it did long drought, the
engineers said, 1t Is quite possible that
the rainfall set up certain shifting con-
ditions Study of the blueprints from
which the Wilson Building was con-
structed, they added, showed that the
foundations of that structure were de-
signed without regard to the original
soil beneath the flll on which 1t was
reared.
Two Portions Damaged.
The cracks in the Ross Building, an
eight room structure built in 1906, ap-
pear in the east and west walls Of that
structure. They run as diagonally cours-
ing assures from a point near the roof
over the central doorway downward to-
ward the foundation and slightly near
the front or north wall. The cracks
at each end are very similar, but those
in the east wall appear broader than
any others. These, in fact, have opened
through the brick and inner plaster to
