Suggestions From
France

Washington, April 2.-Interest in the
administrations attitude towards the
general subject of peace settlement,
revived by the visit here of Rene
Viviani of France, was intensified to-
day by series of conferences which
had every outward appearance of en-
brscing general discussion to pre-
pare administration officials for a de
cision on such subjects as separate
peace resolution and an amended league
Of nations,
All of those who took part in the
conferences were reticent and the in
ferences attached to them necessarily
were largely conjectural

about the White House and state de.
partment leaving 81 Vivian for thu

dicated, however, that the discussions
in progress might have been logical

DEAN WHARTON
PUT UP FIGHT
WITH CRAZED MAN
Tragedy Occurred in Dean
WhartOn's Ufflce and a
Broken Chair Was Evil
dence of Struggle-Stu-
dents Disliked Beckwith
and PetitiOned For His
Removal From Position

Syracuse, n. " April 2.-J. Herman
Wharton, dean of the college Of busi
ness administration, Syracuse univer
sity, was shot and killed to-day BY
Holmes Beckwith, professor of finan
cial and insurance subjects in the col
lege. Beekwith then turned the CUR
on himself and committed suicide.
The tragedy occurred in the office OF
the school of administration in the col
lege of agriculture building. the new
half million dollar structure donated
to the university by Mrs Russell Sage
in memory of her father, Joseph Slo.
cum, and named after him.
Professor Beckwith had been unpop-
ular with the students and petitions
had been circulated among the stu
dent body asking his removal.
In statement issued soon after the
shooting, Chancellor Day declared that
it was his belief that Dean Wharton
died trying to prevent Professor Beck
with from committing suicide.
"This was Indicated" said the chan
cellor, "in note left for Dean Wharton
by Professor Beckwith, in which he in
timated that he was going to kill him
self and referred to alleged unjust
treatment of himself based on the fact
that he had been dismissed, the dis
missal to take effect at the end of the
year Dean Wharton's chair, stout
one. was broken. He evidently leaped
from It when Beckwith tried to kill
himself, the gun was turned on him
and the dean was shot through the
head Beckwith was shot in the chest.
He also stabbed himself to make death
certain"
DR.. Beckvith was first lieutenant
Of field artillery in the World war. He
Joined the Syracuse university faculty
last September and became head of the
department of finance and insurance
He was given an Ii. r. by the Uuni
Versity of California and Ph. d. by Co
lumbis.
Dean Wharton was a graduate of
Syracuse university and has been an
instructor there for the last few years,
his first service having been with the
engineering school, in which he was
head of the English department.
Two years ago he conceived the idea
Of college of business administration
and he was appointed by the chan
cellor to carry out the plan. He or
ganized the college and last fall was
made its dean.
