BURTON Honor Paid as Students File Past Body of Michigan University President. By the Associated Press. ANN ARBOR, Mich., February 20.— Soldiers of the Michigan National Guard, with fixed bayonets, kept vigil today at the beir of Dr. Marion Leroy Burton, while residents of Ann Arbor and students of the University of Michigan, of which he was presi- dent four vears, had their last glimpse of their friend and leader. The body lay in state in Alumni Memorial Hall. At each corner of the catafalque a guardsman stood at parade rest. At the entrance to the hall, paced the corporal of the guard. Every 20 minutes he changed the detail. There were 12 men serving in three shifts, Students Bear Casket. The casket was brought to the hall at 8:30 o'clock this morning by the eight student pallbearers, moving slowly from the Burton home to the hall between lines of uniformed stu- dent reserves. The family and inti- mate friends were assembled in the hall whegn the pallbearers arrived with the ‘casket. University classes were abandoned this afternoon to permit students to pass the bier of their departed presi- dent. From 9 o'clock this morning until well into the afternoon the line moved slowly by the catafalque. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon from the residence, and will be ‘private. Governor Alex. J. Groesbeck and regents of the univer- sity will be the honorary pallbearer: Burial will be at Forest Hills Ceme- tery here. A meetjng of the board of regents kas bheen called for late tomorrow, but it is believed no steps will be taken then toward discussing a suc- cessor for Dr. Burton. The university affairs for the past month have been under the direction of a triumvirate headed by Dr. Harry B. Hutclfins, presi- dent emeritus of the uniyersity, ing with the board of regents, FARM STATIONS BILL READY FOR COQLIDGE States to Get Federal Aid for Re- search in Marketing and Other Studies.

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA HEAD OFFICE - MONTREAL A Statement of Remarkable Progress Extracts from Directors’ Report Your Directors present their fifty-fourth Annual Report with unnm.n.lnw(ndm ‘The rapid expansion of operations, and the steady upbuilding of resources, which bave 30 markedly charac- terizec the Company’s’transactions in previous years, have con- tinued during the past twelve months, and at © greatly increased rate of progress. . . These Sgnu [berexith quoted] show the growth which has taken place in the volume of the Company’s operations, and in its resources. Thefimuto pmfitmmgmnndfimfl cial strength are even more imapressive. As to profits actually paid, the sum of $6,681,652.49 has been disbursed during the year to policybolders under this heading. As 1o provision for the future, the Company’s position has been materially strengthened in all directions. There has been a further upbuilding of the life policy reserves. Heretofore policies issued prior to 1903 have been valued on the basis of assuming three and a helf per cent. interest, as the dis- counting rato for the Company’s obligations, but this year the entire life assurance contracts have been valued a three per cent., the extra amoust thus set aside being $1,111,052. Fhere has also been a strengthening of the Annuity Réserves. Recent investigations have shown a progressive increase in the average lifetime of annuitaots. A special annuity reserve of 750,000 has this year been set up beyond the amount required by the Government standard. The Company’s Head Office and branch buildings and other real estate, have been writlen down by $750,000. The Contingency Reserves have been sirengthened by the addi- tion of $4,000.000 taken from the earnings of the year, $3,006,000 of this amount going Lo the fund to provide for possible fluctua- tions in the market value of our securities, raising that fund to $5,000,000, and $1,000,000 going to General Contingencies ac- count, raising that to $2,500,000. These contingency accounts thus amount now to #7,500,000.

He is recognized as one of the best presjding officers the House-has sat under in many a day. Since the row in the Pennsylvania delegation developed as a result of Senator Reed's pledging at least 26 votes from that State to Reprisenta- tive Nicholas Longworth of Ohlo for Speaker, it h been ' taken pretty much for granted that Longworth would win 3ut over Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinols, chair- man of the House appropriations com- mittee. While the Madden supporters still claim a sufficlent number of votes to assure him the speakership, the general run of feeling In the House is that “Longworth has him lcked.” In that event, there will have to be a new floor leader elected, and with the withdrawal of Representative Frederick R. Lehlbach of New Jersey as a candidate yesterday, in the in- terests of party solldarity, there seems little or no doubt but that Rep- resentative Tilson will be elected. Best Is Acquitted.
