Small Child, Burned to Death,
Saved From Burial as Puuper
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 9.-The beauty
that touched the gentle and childish
heart Of poor little girl and the
attention that she was denied in life
came to her in death yesterday.
Nine-year-old Marie Tremmel,
eldest of six fatherless children, was
the victim of a simple tragedy
burned to death when children with
whom she was playing tossed lighted
matches in her direction. Her
flimsy cotton dress caught fire and
she suffered fatal burns.
Mrs. Elva Tremmel, her destitute
mother, had no funds to bury her
daughter-even with the simple
honors Marie had always given baby
birds and other tiny creatures. It
appeared that her funeral parlor was
to be the county morgue and her
burial place potters field.
But the city's more fortunate were
quick to pay homage to the little girl
who was to leave a poverty stricken
nome for pauper's grave. There
were offers of expensive family
burial lots In private cemeteries:
several volunteered to meet all
funeral expenses, and contributions
OF various amounts were pledged.
A factory worker collected s85 from
his co-workers. policemen at the West
North Avenue Station volunteered
to underwrite funeral expenses,

Harry Poretsky, q Washington de-

The commission also decided yes
terday to grant an application of an
agent corporation of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad to develop a new
turnaround in the Washington
Terminal area which would involve
use of portion of land now pri-
vately owned on a line Of w street
NE. This was with the understand
ing the B. & o. would dedicate to
the District property in the line Of
w street.
Railroad officials had argued at a
public hearing that the change
would expedite traffic movement
and they cited war needs-but the
plan was opposed by spokesmen
for Brentwood Village. who feared
Brentwood properties would be
damaged by noise and smoke.

There were contributions from scores

Marie was buried in her first and
last party dress, the gift of her
teachers at the Pickard School. And
on her little white lambs wool coffin
was a wreath OF white carnations
and gladiolusus-from her school
mates.
The Rev. Walter S. Pond of St
Barnabas Episcopal Church donated
his services. His text was simple and
consoling: UNLESS ye become as lit
tie children, We shall not enter the
kingdom of heaven"
After the services, a sad but digni-
fed procession made its way to

millionaire shipping magnate, for his
son Philip.
The commodores will provided

fund was to 60 to his mother, Mrs.
Mae Hayward of New York.
Would Let Ruling Stand.
Trustees of the estate have con-
tended that Philip did die without
issue, charging that young Peter is
not his son but an English boy
adopted by Miss Bennett after she
started divorce proceedings against
Philip, her second husband.
A year ago, the Groton Probate
Court agreed with that contention,
finding that Peter had been adopted.
The current action is an appeal from
that decision brought for the boy, on
the grounds that he is, as Miss
Bennett maintains. her son and
Philips and therefore entitled to
share in the trust fund.
In the even that settlement has
been reached, the appeal may be
withdrawn and the decision of the
Probate Court thereby allowed to
stand.

There Is q River

By Thomas Sugrue. (HoHJ
If one were to read only the jacket
on this volume. there would be no
question in ones mind as to the va
lidity of this book as a biography of
real person. If one were to read
only the book, the question would
not arise. 1t would almost certainly
be accepted as very realistic and
very interesting piece of fiction. But
the person who reads both jacket
and book is likely to be left in a daze.
The book is documented. Streets and
dates and names of people one
knows are given. The subject of
the book is still living and carrying
on his supernal work. His present
whereabouts are recorded. Yet the
story of Edgar Cayce sounds far
more like the life of medieval saint
than like that of modern American
man of the middle classes.
Edgar Cayce is a Southerner who
reputedly has the power of going into
a trance, in which state he can dag
nose ailments and read the lives of
his clients in past incarnations. The
book is too incredible for the average
person to swallow as truth. Yet it is
an absorbing story. And for the per-
son interested in metaphysical phe-
nomena it would probably be very
enlightening one. But whether one
accepts the physical phenomena or
not, this book makes most interest,"

raphy of an everyday citizen. His
psychic powers are Just an added

The Sea Is So Wide
By EUelyn EdtO1

:
In the late summer of 1755 some
10000 peaceful Acadian farmers of
Nova Scotia, on orders of the Brit
lsh governor, suddenly were torn
from their homes, their buildings
burned, their livestock and all other
property coniscated. Families were
herded on ships and scattered to
the four winds, never to be reunited.
In "The Sea Is So Wide" EVELYN
Eaton employs the experiences of
the Comeau family as a framework
upon which she develops an illumi-
mating chronicle of this calamitous
Acadian affair. There is old DOM
Unique Comeau, head of the clan,
who, through the years, had rescued
field after field from the marsh
until, at length, he had fine farm
in the beautiful Valley of the Gaspe-
reau. just at the time of the seizure
Of the Acadians, his eldest daugh-
ter, Barbe, spirited, comely girl of
20, meets Graham Starr. young
English captain. Instant mutual
infatuation, in the midst of all the
tragic turmoil comes to them. In
heroic but ill-advised efforts to help
the Comeau family Capt. Starr be-
comes involved in a serious situa-
ton and narrowly escapes the firing
squad.
Meanwhile, the Acadians, in foul,
overcroWded ships, are sent away.
BY mere chance, Barbe, her father
and the old family house servant,
Helene Pinault, are loaded on the
same vessel and after terrifying
weeks at sea they reach Williams
burg, Va. Through Father Landree,
the Grand Pre- priest, Capt. Starr
learns upon his release from prison
that the destination of the ship on
which Barbe had sailed was-Vir-
ginia. Upon this meager clue the
young Englishman sets forth on a
journey of high adventure which
eventually leads to reunion in the
Colonial Virginia capital
1t is not unlikely that in this SIM
ply told story of gripping adventure
and deep emotional appeal, Evelyn
Eaton will find that she has pro-
duced a work equal in popular &C
ceptance to her earlier Quietly My
Captain Waits"

unique work in this same viewpoint.

The perfect garden has yet to be
