Ottawa has had the privilege of Fire Sweeps Home Near Richmond: No Insurance Carried Special to The RICHMOND, March 29.

A live coal dropped from a can of ashes onto a summer kitchen floor was believed to have been the cause of the fire which completely destroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alton Trimble, one mile south of here this afternoon. The recently modernized fire-fighting apparatus was brought into use for the first time, but unfortunately the fire had made too much headway when the firemen arrived, and their efforts were of no avail. Fire a little over a week ago destroyed the home of Dawson Hill on an adjoining farm.

MATINEE PERFORMANCE. While there was some disappointment for members of the audience who could not be present in the evening as well that only a few of the Olympic group were seen in the matinee performance of the Boris Volkoff company yesterday, there was none on the score of the dancing and pantomime. On this occasion, Boris Volkoff appeared with his junior ballet in The Green Cat, presenting also a talented and graceful group in a second feature, The Black Swans. Pi seeing at home the Boris VolkofT Pallet Group of Toronto which went over to Berlin last summer to enter the Olympic amateur dancing competitions and returned triumphant after capturing fifth place when all unexpectedly pitted against twenty-nine professional teams from other countries, But that story already has been told, not once, but several times throughout the Dominion. The latest news is that the Capital accorded a warm welcome in the Little Theater last night to the Boris VolkofT Ballet, which included a number of Junior dancers as well as the more advanced artists who achieved such outstanding success abroad last year.

Delightful Freshness. Against classic simplicity of background, the folds of curtains, and with settings reduced to an almost irreducible minimum, effects achieved depended entirely 000 in moneys invested in the railway it was desired to retain. Pass Trade Agreement. Canada's new trade agreement with the United Kingdom, in the form of a bill, passed all stages in the House and was sent to the Senate. When this bill, and a similar measure in the United Kingdom parliament, have received royal assent, a date will be mutually agreed upon for the proclamation of the coming into force of the new pact and repeal of the agreement negotiated in 1932.

During the discussion of the agreement yesterday Finance Minister Dunning told the House he had made "approaches" to The British government with respect to the difficulty of Canadians obtaining "black for galvanizing, from the United Kingdom. He said further discussions of this matter at the moment might prejudice his discussions with the United Kingdom. Conservative Leader Bennett had again urged upon the minister the desirability of temporarily removing the tariff on raw "Have you seen the New TOPPER COATS for Men and Young Men?"

Conservat ives opposed the C.N.R.

bill but offered no objections to the treaty which replaces the pact negotiated at the Ottawa Imperial Conference of 1932. Renews Objections. Conservative Leader Bennett renewed objections he had raised earlier and said the balance sheet of the railway under the new setup would not reveal its true condition. He described the creation of a securities trust to hold governmental claims now being written off as unnecessary and complicating and said the claims could be held by the minister of finance directly. The Canadian National accounts would not show all the money invested in the system under the new arrangement as the Canadian Pacific accounts did.

This would create an undesirable situation and make comparison of the two companies' finances difficult. In New Set-up. Every dollar put in the National system to create an asset would be clearly shown in the new set-up Transport Minister Howe declared. It was proposed to eliminate those expenditures of the government which had been to meet losses, deficits and the unpaid interest. Objection had been raised to a Twelve-year-old Ursula Trimble, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Trimble, carried the can of ashes out of the house through the summer kit-chen'during the early part of the morning, and it is believed that the smouldering coal ignited the floor some hours later as it was not until two o'clock this afternoon that the fire was discovered. Mrs. Trimble heard a crackling noise in the summer kitchen, and when she investigated she found the kitchen a mass of flames Fanned by a strong wind the two-storey frame building was Lady Ursula Manners, above, is one of the six ladies invited to carry the Queen's train for the coronation. thanks were also tendered to the Women's Guild of St.

K. Gandhi stepped to the front of India's political stage today with a statement on the country's constitutional question. Referring to the refusal of provincial governors to pledge they would not use the absolute veto powers vested in them by the new-Indian constitution, Gandhi said: "The government, by flouting the majority, in plain language has ended the autonomy which they claim the constitution has given the provinces. "Their rule now will be of the sword, not.

of the pen or of the indisputable majority. "In any case this is the only Interpretation I can, with all the good will in the world, put upon the government's action, for I believe in the 100 per cent honesty of my formula, acceptance of which might have prevented the present crisis and resulted in a natural, orderly and peaceful transference of power from a bureaucracy to the largest and fullest democracy in the world." Gandhi's formula would have permitted members of his Congress party, seeking independence from Great Britain, to form cabinets in six provinces on condition the governors gave pledges ized sheets. Since the United Kingdom Is given a preference on this material in the Canadian market it would be necessary, by terms of the agreement, to obtain approval before removing the preference temporarily. United Kingdom sources, because of the armament programs now in progress, had been unable razed in less than an hour. As-I sisted by neighbors, Mrs.

Trimble managed to save most of the con- tents of the house. Mr. Trimble I was engaged in digging a grave in the Richmond cemetery when he was notified of the blaze, and he hurried to his burning home to assist in salvaging its contents.

I Mr. Dunning said he was quite a delightful freshness and spontaneity about the whole performance, modesty in costumes and freedom from the least suggestion of vulgarity even in the frank and elementary humor of Holiday in Russia to the challenging and rather savage music of Gllere's Red Poppy. The program, moreover, was beautifully varied and balanced, beginning with the graceful and vivid ballet Ecstasy Tschaikowsky) and having as its grand climax the spectacular Holiday in Russia, which featured' the master of the ballet and choreographer, Boris Volkoff, in the whirls and leaps and other acrobatic movements of the folk dances of his native country. The most eccentric and angular steps and gestures on his part could not conceal the rhythm, grace and perfect muscular control of the inspired as well as highly trained ballet dancer.

This immediately was obvious in the humorous country dance in which he ap clause in the bill providing it should operate "notwithstanding any provision in the Audit Act." Mr. Howe said this was inserted to guard against any unforeseen contingencies and could be dropped. There were some $360,000,000 in accumulated deficits and $510, 000,000 in interest claims it was desired to eliminate from the way's capital.

WOLFGANG, Austria, March 29. In a modest and secluded yellow house with green shutters, the Duke of Windsor began tonight a new effort to live a quiet life far from crowds and the curious. The former king had a mountain vista, a lake, the colorful scenery that inspired Broadway's current "White Horse Inn," and he was 184 miles closer to Mrs. Wallls Simpson for whom he gave up the throne. Leaving the chateau of the Baron de Rothschilds, where he had found haven since his departure from England last December, the Duke arrived from Enzesfeld shortly before six o'clock tonight.

Signs proclaiming "Apesbach Pension" had been torn down and new signs read: "Private Property. Keep out. Entrance forbidden." Canadian-Built Car. The Duke, dressed in grey overcoat, light brown suit, red scarf, and hatless, stepped from his big Canadian-built car, to be greeted on the back porch of his new home by the chief of servant. En route through rain, snow and fog, he had paused at Melk and Saint Florian Monastery and Ischl.

Luggage and clothing were piled high in his sedan and a second car with two detectives brought more luggage sufficient until he departs for France where he is expected to wed Mrs. Simpson In May. His 16-room house stands alone on a promontory extending into Wolfgang lake.
