Airvraft Committee Adopts Resol'ution
To Question Wilkes on Army
Air Craft'
Washington, Feb. 19, (By A. P.).-
Yesterday's widely advertised story
that a presidential reprimand was im-
minent for Brig.-General Mitchell, the
stormy petrel of the air service, ex-
ploded today with a force that left
those who have stood sponsor for it
scurrying to cover.
General Mitchell himself, placed on
the stand before the House aircraft
committee, testified that he never had
received a summons to the White
House, reports of which were dissem-
mated from the committee rooms.-
Later, Representative Perkins, New
Jersey, the committee examiner, plaC-
ed on the grill by those newspaper
correspondents who had assumed re-
sponsibility for the story without at-
tempting to verify it in other quarters,
issued a statement saying that when
he circulated the report yesterday he
had believed himself reliably inform-
ed.
General Mitchell, instead of going
to the White Ilouse for the heralded
reprimand, appeared once more be-
fore the air craft committee, reaf-
firmed his opposition to the air policy
of the war and navy department and
asserted he had received no summons
from the President.
lie declared he had no knowlddge
as to the origin of the report, that he
had been or would be summoned to the
White Mouse, and, answering ques-
tions of committee members, said he
had given no consideration to the re-
port that he would not be reappoint-
ed March 26 to his present position
as assistant army air chief. He added,
however, that he had been informed
that Major General Patrick, chief of
the air service, had recommended his
reappointment.
When called to the witness stand,
Representative Reid, Republican, II1-
nois, asked: "Is this General Mitch-
ell or ex-general?"
The assistant army air chief smil-
ed, but did not reply. If Iro is not re-
appointe'I to his present post, he will
revert to the rank of colonel.
After hearing the general, the com-
mittee unanimously adopted a resolu-
tion to call Mr. Wilkes for question-
ing en army air craft and then voted
to table a resolution by Mr. Reid to
protest against possible presidential
reprimand of the witness. The Illi-
nois member contended that, by de-
laying action on his approval, the com- I
inittee would permit General Mitchell
to be sent to the "sticks."

206 ARE WARNED

Two hundred and, five students will
be asked to withdraw from the liter-
ary college of the University at once;
because of poor scholarship, it was
decided Wednesday night at a meet-
ing of the Administrative board of
that college. This number shows an
increase of 37 over the number ofj
students who were asked to leave at
the end of the first semester last year.
Of the 205 students who have been1
asked to leave at once, 25 were wom-
en. Last year only seven women stu-
dents were asked to withdraw. One
hundred and eighteen students who
were dismissed were freshmen.
Five hundred and twenty-two stu-
dents are now on probation. This!
number includes those whose period
of probation was extended by the
board. The figures for students who
have been placed on probation show
a decerease of 24 students over the
number which were on probation at
the end of the first semester last year.
An increase of 10 is noted in the{
number of students who are now onI
the warning list. Two hundred and
sixty students have been warned that
their work must show improvement
or they will be placed on probation.1
In addition to this deliquent list
189 students have been sent attend-
ance warnings, 40 of this number
having received a deduction of oneE
hour of credit for excessive absence.
Students who have been placed on
probation are on trial to prove their}
fitness to do the work in University
courses, and for that reason are re-
quired to devote their time to studies.
Students render themselves liable to
suspension who, while on probation,
engage in any University activity.
, Attendance was the deciding factor
in many cases of deliquent studentsI
where there was a matter of doubt.,
If a student's attendance record show-
ed an unusual number of absences,
the decision was against him.

Expect One Side to Force Roll Call
By Appealing toSenate
Proper
Washington, Feb. 19.-(By A. P.)-
Opponents of the Underwood Muscle
Shoals leasini bill launched an attack
today in the Senate on the conference
report which they contended should
be rejected on the grounds that the
conferees had exceeded their author-
A point of order was made against
the report by Senator Norris, Rer ub-
lican, Nebraska, leader of the op-
posing forces, who contended that new
legislation had been injected in the
measure in conference. Senator Un-
derwood, Democrat, Alabama, author
of the bill, defending the report, de-,
clared it was germane to the House
and Senate bills and that the con-
ferees had kept within their rights.
President Cummins, of the Senate,
withheld decision, on the point of
order, and the question went over un-
til tomorrow.
Whatever his ruling may be, one
side or the other in the fight is ex-
pected to appeal the decision to the
Senate proper, forcing a roll call
which will be regarded as a test vote.

25TH ANNIVERSARY
Passes Resolution Expressing Sorrow
At Passing of President
Burton

Many Tributes
Received From
ProminentMen
Telegrams of condolence continued
to arrive in Ann Arbor all day yester-
day, not only from personal friends of
the late President, but from alumni
and men of international prominence.
In addition to these expressions of
sympathy, tribute was paid by lower-
ing flags to half mast. Flags on all
public buildings were lowered in De-
troit, while the same procedure was
observed here. The press in its edi-
torial columns also recognized the
great loss suffered.
Among the telegrams received at
the Burton residence yesterday was
that of Mr. and Mrs Henry Ford, at
present in Fort Myers, Florida. Oth-
ers who wired their sympathy were
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, noted ex-
plorer; Dr. Charles Mayo, of Roches-
ter, Minn., and many noted educators
and alumni groups.
Dr. Stefansson's telegram recalls
the time of President Burton's last
public, appearance. The explorer was
introduced by the President last fall
for an address in Hill auditorium, and
the day followinig this appearance
President Burton was stricken.
Verbal tributes to the ability of the
President have been abundant. Those
who had known him only by his at-
tainments were no less ready to voice
their admiration of his ability and
character. The student body of Ohiol
State university, appreciating the ex-,
tent of the loss of President Burton,
has expressed its sympathy by a large
floral offering.
Prof. F. N. Scott of the rhetoric de-
partment said of him yesterday: "One
element of President Burton's make-
up has not as yet, I think, received the
attention it deserves. I mean his in-
tense intellectual curiosity. In this
he resembled ex-President Roosevelt.
'Why didn't I know of this before?
Why didn't someone tell me I should
read this book?' were questions that
were often on his lips."
'And they were not merely the ut-
terances of one who was jealous of
the learning of others, but a genuine
and sincere desire to learn and pro-
pagate the best that is known and
thought in the world. No one who ever
went to him. I imagine, ever came
away without intellectual and moral
enrichment, and a conviction that he
had been with one who walked in his
house with a perfect heart."
The following telegram, indicating
the admiration and esteem in which
the President was held by students
of other universities and colleges, was
received by The Daily last night:

half of the students of Indiana uni-

Ann Arbor National Guard Unit
To Stand Guard Over Body
Of President
Eight students, representative of the
various schools and colleges of the
University, will bear the pall of Presi-
dent Marion L. Burton at 8:30 o'clock
this morning to Alumni Memorial hall,
where it will lie in state until 5
o'clock. Two lines formed of mem-
bers of the University R. O. T. C. unit
will act as an honor guard, reaching
from the Presidential residence to the
building where the body will rest for
the day. Dignitaries of the Univer-
sity and those who have come to Ann
Arbor to pay their last respects to
the dead will also attend the occasion.
It is planned to locate the casket
under the dome of the hall, where
townspeople and the general public
may view it from 9:30 until 1 o'clock.
Students and members of the faculty
are requested to attend from 1 o'clock
rntil 5 o'clock, classes having been
dismissed for the occasion.
Visitors will enter by the main en-
trance of Alumni Memorial hall, and
leave by the north entrance, to avoid
confusion. Floral tributes will be re-
ceived at the building in the morning.
A guard of honor, composed of men-
bers of the Ann Arbor National Guard,
has been appointed by Governor Gros-
beck to represent the state in guard-
ing the body. They will be under the
command of Captain Harold Furlong.
The funeral will take place at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon, with Rev-
erends Lloyd C. Douglas, of Akron,
Ohio, and Herbert A. Jump, of Ann
Arbor, collaborating in the services.
Reverend Douglas was formerly
President Burton's pastor at the Con-
gregational church here, and Rever-
end Jump succeeded him.
As was the case in observing the
last rites in the death of former Pres-
ident James Burrill Angel, lines
formed of students will mark the fun-
eral pathway to Forest Hill cemetery,
where the body will be finally laid
to rest. The procession will extend
along South University Avenue to
Church street, from there to College

Chicago, Feb. 19, (By A. P.).-Plans
for the .production of "The Passion!
Play" several times a year in Chica-
go, the proceeds from which would
be turned to the juvenile court to aid
in its work of reclaiming boys who
have drifted into lawlessness, was an-
nounced today by Cornelius C. Craine,
superintendent of the Big Brotherst
Society, the sponsor.
The play will be given in five acts
and 14 scenes, in the home of the Chi-?
cago Civic Opera company. The first
performance is announced for Marchj
15. Principals in the cast have been
chosen with a view to continuing them
in their roles year after year, Mr.
Craine said.
"Our workers in the juvenile and
boys courts have noticed an increase
in juvenile crime," Mr. Craine asserted.
"The Big Brothers, an association of
business and professional men here
who reclaim boy delinquents, decided4
to do something to offset the influ-E
ences. We collected a sum of money
with which to hire the proper stage
producers, actors and writers who
could produce 'The Passion Play' in
as reverential manner as possible.
We think the play would impress
and regenerate thousands of young-
sters in the crowds and it would
equip the Big Brothers with a sum oft
money for the expansion of their edu-
cative work among delinquent boys.'
"Every cent of profit is to go to this
anti-crime work among the boys who
come into Chicago's courts."a

TRACES HISTORY
Dr. Manne Siegbahn, professor of
physics at the University of Upsala,
Sweden, made his first talk since ar-
riving in Ann Arbor yesterday. His1
subject was "The Reflection and Re-
fraction of X-Rays."
Dr. Siegbahn ranks among those
foremost today in the field of X-ray;
and crystal analysis. This field open-
ed a dozen years ago and much of
the work of measurement and analy-
sis of crystals by X-ray methods has
come from his laboratory.
In his talk yesterday, Dr. Siegbahnj
gave a short hstory of the develop-
ment of the X-ray from its discovery
by Roentgen to the present day. To-
day, he stated, the accurate know-
ledge of X-rays makes it applicable
to many fields of modern activities.
'lhe early study of the X-ray was
from various sources upon various
substances. It was then believed the
X-rays were essentially different from
light, since it was impossible to dis-
cover in connection with them the re-
flection and refraction phenomena
characteristic to the wave motions
of light.
In 1913, however, Von Lane suggest-
ed that x-rays might be similar to ex-
tremely fine grained light, which'
would show reflection effects if they
were directed upon a substance with
minute regularity of form, such as
crystal. This idea proved true, and I
since that time all modern X-ray de-I
velopment has been based on it.
The main part of Dr. Siegbahn's
lecture, however, was concerned with
a recently discovered minute devia-
tion from the law of X-ray diffrac-
tion in crystals.
This is Dr. Siegbahn's first visit to
this country. One of h'is objects in
coming here at this time is to deliver
a lecture before the national meetingt
of the American Physical society at
Columbia the latter part of next week.!
Dr. Siegbahn was introduced by!
Prof. George A. Lindsay of the phy-
sics department, who studied withj
him at Lund university, Sweden, sev-
eral years ago.

heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your'
great leader, President Marion L. Bur-

suffered extends far beyond the con-
fines of your own campus to all the
world where the life of a great schol-
ar, counsellor, and gentleman still
works influence in the lives of fellow
creatures. We share the sorrow and
the loss of Michigan students. Your
bereavement is ours.-The Indiana
Daily Student."
Paying a magnificent tribute to
President Burton yesterday, Regent
J. E. Beal characterized him as one
who had won the love, admiration, and
respect of everyone. "Grief has strick-
en the entire campus and town, and
has even extended to distant points
throughout the nation," said the Re-
gent.
"It is indeed inspiring to witness
the great respect which even the com-
monest laborer has shown for the
President. Although they have never
come into personal contact with him,
they all realize that he accomplished
wonderful things for the town as well
as for the University.
"Remarkable interest was shown by
him in all the affairs of the town, and
in spite of the pressure of his Uni-
versity work, he frequently took time
to attend the meetings of the Chamber
of Commerce, lending his aid when-
ever possible in their endeavors.
Everyone in the town feels the great
loss and knows that a friend who can-
not be replaced is gone.
" Examples of loyality and admira-
tion of the members-of the University
faculties to the President have fre-
quently come to the notice of the Re-
gents.Many professors and instruc-a1
tors, although offered very substantial
salary increases elsewhere, remained
Ihere because of their ;love for Presi-
dent Burton and of the benefit they
would derive through working under
his direction.
"Through his untiring efforts andl
zeal, the University has attained
buildings and equipment which can
be duplicated by few institutions in
the country. Shortly before his fail-
ing health prevented activity, he had
launched a campaign for increased
standing of the faculty members. He
had as his obiect the adding of a num-

gvenue, then to Washtenaw avenue,
entering Geddes avenue to reach the
cemetery. The distance approximates
a mile, and it is requested that the
students form in a single line along
the march of the funeral cortege.
The funeral will be of a private na-
ture, and has been in charge of a
committee made up of President Emer-
itus Harry B. Hutchins, Dean Morti-
mer E. Cooley, of the engineering col-
lege, and Shirley Smith, secretary of
the University.
Members of the immediate family
who will attend the services are Mrs.
Burton, her son Paul, who is a fresh-
man in the engineering college; her
daughter Jane, a student in the local
high school; and Dr. Charles Emer-
son Burton, brother of President Bur-
ton. Dr. Burton and his wife arrived
in Ann Arbor yesterday morning.
Dr. Donald Cowling, president of
Carleton college, and President Bur-
ton's closest friend, also arrived here
yesterday, while President W. .O.
Thompson, of Ohio State University,
is expected today. Mrs. George R.
Stewart, daughter of the President,
and now residing in Berkeley, Cal.,
will not be able to attend the funeral,
her physicians having advised against
the journey.
Honorary pallbearers for the fun-
eral will include Gov. Alex. J. Groes-
beck, the Board of Regents, and a
delegation of five members from both
houses of the state legislature.
