LONDON, June 14—The Washing- ton government's suggestion for a rociprocal arrangement regarding ehip liguors Is prominently displayed in today's newspapers, but the only comment is offered by the Daily News, which describes the American admin- fstration’s proposal as “a very genious method of bargaining for a long-desired concession.” The newspaper doubts whether other governments would consent to a treaty agreement which would give the United States the right of search within twelve miles of its coast. “Moreover,” It continues, “it is rather @ifficult to see why it is less immoral to modity the dry ship rule through Jalpable bargain of this kind than thout any bargain at all.

By the Aswociated Press. AMHURST, Mass,, June 14—A com- mittee of three representing the senfor class at Amhurst College, it became known today, has gone to New York city to interview members |of the boara of trustees there re- | garding a reported move of the trus- {toes to remove President Alexandre Meiklejohn. Richard B. Cowan of Washington, D. C., president of the class, is one member of the commit- tee. Pending the conference the senior class as a whole is holding in abey- ance plans which would put the class unmistakably on record in the con- troversy and which, it is reported, in- clude refusal to receive diplomas at the commencement next week Satur- day, should President Meiklejohn be | removed. | The controversy, which admittedly had divided the trustees and alumni, | according to alumni. who are in close | touch with the coliege, is based on | | differences of opinion regarding| President Melklejohn's scholastic policies. The president is known to) have favored radical departures in this regard, while one element of the trustees has favored continuing along traditional lines. | e GENERAL HEADS BANK.

BURIED UNDER ARSENAL HERE| World Is Listed Joseph I. Keefer, historian, of 607 Louisiana avenue, takes lssue with the statements of E, M. Sampson, who, in & dispatch to The Star from Moline, I, declared that he alone knows where the body of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lin- coln, is burled. Mr. Sampson, who says he, with Gen. Lafayetto Baker, deceased, burfed the | murderer of the President, is quoted as saying: “For fifty-eight years that secret has been buried in my breast. I took a solemn oath never to tell. 1 will die still keeping that oath.” Mr. Keefer, however, has a different story to tell. He states that Booth was buried under a cell in the old Tth street arsenal, where the War Col- lege now stands, and that the stones in the cell were taken up to make & | grave for him. Later, Mr. Keefer relates, Edwin Booth, the actor, communicaied with President Andrew' Jchnson and se- cured an executive order permitting him to have the body exhumed and Now Is the Time to Plant Rose Bushes Special Sale June 11th to 16th One week only of 10000 two-year-old Rose Bushes, com- posed of the most popular varie American Beauty, Sweetheart, Red-Radiance, Columbia, Ophelia, Dunlop, Ward —and other varieties, all monthly blooming. 50c A.
