Guiding the President of the United

suggested to Mrs. Marshall, widow of
the former Vice President and Gov
ernor of Indiana, that the body be al.
lowed to lie in state in the Capitol at
Indianapolis. but Mrs. Marshall dis
approved of the plan. The services
will be conducted, therefore, in the
Marshall home, under the auspices of
the Scottish Rite Masons of which
Mr.. Marshall was a prominent mem.
ber.
Many Pay Tribute.
The love and esteem with which Mr..
Marshall was regarded by his country
men, including his political opponents
as we'll as his supporters, was evi.
denced in the mass of kilograms which
came to Mrs. Marshall from all parts
of the country today from individuals
and from organizations, all paying
tribute to the memory of the former
Vice President. Among the messages
received were those from John W. Da-
Wis and James NJ. Cox, the Democratic
standard bearers during the last two
national campaigns; former Senator
Beveridge of Indiana, Senator Wat
son of Indiana, former Secretary of
War Baker and former Secretary of
the Navy Josephus Daniels.
The services, which are TO be held
in the Willard room of the Willard
Hotel, will be conducted by Rev. DIR.
Charles Wood. pastor of the Church
of the Covenant, which Mr.. Marshall
attended during his eight years of
service in Washington as Vice Presi-
dent. There will be no music. DR..
Wood will include in his services a
passage from st. Marks gospel,
which Mr. Marshal was reading when
he died. He had turned to the fourth
chapter of ST. Mark, in which the par
able of the sower was related by Je-
sus to His disciples. This, which was
one of Mr.. Marshall's favorite biblical
stories, concludes:
With what measure ye mete it shall
be measured to YOU"
Flowers Stay With Body.
Selections from the Psalms, which
nd n
each morning before taking up the
New Testament, will also have a place
in the services, DIR. Wood said.
The casket of steel covered with
gray broadcloth, and with dull silver
handles and mountings, will be closed
during the services. The flowers,
which have been sent in great num-
bers by friends and admirers of Mr..

and later will be taken to Indiana polls.

Pastors Eulogy.
DR.. Wood, Mr. Marshalls pastor
here. said of him today:
Mr.. Marshall was both a regular
and indefatigable attendant at church
He spoke many times to our various
societies and Sunday school and was
always ready to accept at once of every
Invitation to cooperate in the extern
sion of Christ's kingdom. He was the
Sympathetic and energetic chairman
of the advisory committee of the Pres

last visit to Washington, some months
