H., August 19 (P— The number of victims of the fire which swept the modest home of Marshall French, 27-year-old truck er, on the outskirts of this city riday night, today stood at six. Prench, himself, was the sixth to die. He expired at the Margaret Pillsbury hospital where his 18- month-old daughter, Esther, last of his four children had died. The other three, Charles, 5, Marshall Jr., 4, and George, five months, were trap- ped in the house together with Jo- seph Mercier, 14. a neighbor's boy who children received his burns in at- tempting o rescue the children. He had carried Esther to safety when he collapsed by the roadside, his clothes burned from his body. Mrs. French, a cook at a local restaurant, was away when the fire started and returned to find her home in ruins. She was nearly crazed by the tragedy. No satisfactory ex- planation has yet heen advanced to account for ‘the origin of the blaze. although police believe French, may have been attempting to stove fire by pouring kerosene on kindling wood. 1,000 AT MEETING OF PRYSIOLOGISTS Notables From All Over World Convene at Cambridde Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 19 (P— Distinguished ~ physiologists from avery quarter of the civilized world converged here today for the open- ing of the Thirtcenth Triennia meeting of the International Phys logical Congres: The more than 1,000 delegates in- cluded many of outstanding fame in the medical world.
