DOVE OF PEACE IS
 CAUGHT AT ALABAMA
Differences Between Dr. Denny and Senior Class Settled When It Is De-
 cided by Students to Drop Matter


 Tuscaloosa. May. 5-tspeciai.j j-The dove of peace settled over the university to- night when the last remaining differences between President Denny and the senior class were definitely settled The last move on the part of the seniors was in the form of a conference held between pr. Denny and a committee of Tuscaloosa alumni.
 Following the conference it was an nounced that the suspension imposed upon Students F. A. Laquer and Tom Johnson would stand. This was followed by a meeting of the senior class. at which it was decided to drop the matter. The re- instatement of those seniors now under technical suspension at the hands of the student executive committee is expected at once
 Developments today were not unexpect- ed by those best versed in the real sit uation. As a matter of fact. despite the rather sensational reports which have been scattered over the state, there ha been no difference between Dr. Denny and the senior class of any serious na- ture. A simple question of the proper construction to be placed upon the stu dent government constitution was the only issue involved. The seniors dealt with Dr. Denny as class in adjusting the matter, but at no time were they threatening in their attitude. General re- gret as to the apparent misunderstanding ttt. | expressed by all concerned today.

 Some little furry was caused by the in- troduction of a resolution expressing re- gret because wines were reported to be served at dinners at the White House. The resolution would have the confer ence appeal to President Wilson to -abol- ish the wine cup for all functions over which he has control" and would re- quest the President to indorse and sup port pending measures for nationwide prohibition It was introduced by the Rev.
