MARIE CORELLI, WELL KNOWN WRITER, DIES British Novelist Was Author of a Score of Popular Romantic Tales By the Associated Press. Stratford-Upon-Avon, Ergland, Apr. 21,—Marie Co®elli, English novelist and author of a score of popular ro- mantic tales, died this morning from lieart trouble at her home here. She had been ailing for some weeks but was apparently recovering when the fatal seizure occurred. Born in 1864 the daughter of an Italian father add Scettish mother, | Miss Corelli was adopted in infancy by Charles Mackay, journalist and song writer. She was educated in a I'rench convent and much of her early train- ing was with the idea that she should take up the musical profession, but her penchant for writing prevailed, being encouraged by the publication of a number of poems. Her first book, “A Romance of Two Worlds,” was published in 1886 and was closely followed by “Vendetta," “Thelma” and others. Her works, which were mostly tinged with the melodramatic, enjoyed popularity and |a wide sale from the start, Her style was far from flawless and her literary lapses drew sarcastic ref- erences from the reviewers, but her reply to them was that no books of | hers were sent to the press for eriti- cimm, She was an opponent of woman suffrage, declaring the members of her sex unfit to exercise the franchise, | 1t 1wt highbrow unless it s a platitude expressed so awkwardly that | few can get the meaning of the darned This is a MICHELIN year ¥ R “He laughs best who laughs last” Perhaps the buying of tires has been no laughing matter for you, Then try Michelins and laugh at the jinses that beset the highway, There is no pre- mium for jolning the constantly grow- Ing circle of happy Michelin neers, KOPPELL AUTO SUPPLY CO. 262 ELM STREET PHONL 2145 AT OUR W.

Vare annouyced he would sup- port Ralph Beaver Strassburger, wealthy Norristown publisher, for delegate-at-large against the governor who is one of the seven slated candi- dates of the organization. Declaring that “liquor or law forcement” was the issue and that Philadelphia organization was ular when liquor is regular, otherwise not,” Governor Pinchot, in a state- | ment last night said the state organi- | |zation “stands by its guns and pro- poses to finish what it has started.” He said it did not matter whether he was elected a delegate-at-large but that it was important whether the {people of Pennsylvania were going “to | yield to the little handful of Phila- | delphia ward politicians who planned | this knifing.” Mr. Pinchot expressed resentment, at what he termed Representative Vare's “effort to drag 1 and hide be- hind President Coolidge,” whose nom- {ination, he added. *nobody questions.” Representative Vare gave as his rea- ,son for the withdrawal of his support | Governor Pinchot’s action in suggest- ing that Francis J. Heney, of Cali- fornia, he appointed counsel for the | | senate committee investigating the in- ternal revenue bureau. This action, | Vare said, was “regarded by regular republicans as an attack on Secretary | | Mellon and the Coolidge administra- | tion.” en- New York Holdup Men i | Take $12,000 in Card Game New York, April 21.

The campaign was vigorously con- ducted with prominent republicans | as speakers for both candidates. United States Senator Edge, former Senator Frelinghuysen ‘and former Governor Edward C. Stokes, now | chairman of the republican state | committee, are among the candidates | | for delegate-at-large, of whom seven will be chosen, who favor President ! Coolidge. Two women candidates for delegate-at-large have been named | | by both the Coolidge and Johnson sides.
