LONDON, May 10.--Miss Marie CO.
relli's objection to picture postcards
formed the subject Of an application for
an injunction made to Justice swinfen
Eady i'm the chancery division the other
day.
1t was sought to restrain IL. and A.
Wall of Stratford -oh- Avon from pub
fishing or otherwise disposiug OF q
series of picture postcards purportins
to depict "scenes in the home life'' of
Miss Corelll, which, she contended,
were calculated to expose her to ridl-
cule and contempt. "
I'm the early part of this month"
said Mr.. Eve, K. c., who represented
Miss Corelli, a Shakespearian festival
was arranged at Stratford Lon Avon to
commemorate what is alleged to be the
birthday of q gentleman called William
Shakespeare.
I'm anticipation of the large number
Of persons who would resort to STRAIT
fcrd -on Avon ON that occasion, and who
would desire to become acquainted with
the notable persons other than Shake
speare connected with that place
Messrs. Wall. without leave or license
from Miss Coreli, produced a set Of
picture postcards which were headed:
Distinguished Authors. Series of pic
ture postcards.
mo. 1: Miss Marie Corelli, Stratford-
on-Avon.
Miss Corelli at once took objection
to the cards, and If your lordship will
look at them, and also at a recent
photograph of her, you will see that the
cards were a gross libel on her features.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-20
Right to Ones Features

This is Il case" concluded Mr.. Eve
(which will have TO be tried as to the
right of the person, not only to her own
features but to features which do not
belong to her"
Scott Thompson then took up the ad-
vocacy of Miss Corelli's contention and
asked the judge to say that the post
cards were libelous
Because the features on the cards
are unlike must they necessarily be
iibelous?' asked the Judge.
Mr.. Thompson said he thought there
was no doubt the cards We're libelous
The gondola picture was ridiculous as
a work of art.
"A work of art for halfpenny!" ex-
claimed the judge. IL will say nothing
about the taste of the persons who pub
llshed the cards, but I am looking for
legal grounds of objection in respect of
annoyance"
Percy Wheeler who appeared for
Messrs. Wall. said the only question
was whether or not Miss Corelli had
suffered any legal injury. "Is it to hold
a person up to ridicule and contempt
to say that she had dog with which
she played on a lawn" he asked. This
must be very sensitive age"
Tho inference from the card is that
the picture was taken in the lady's
garden, and that she likes to be adver-
tised in this way" said the judge.
ut might have been taken over the
garden wall" said. Mr.. Wheeler.
An affidavit made by Miss Corelli
stated that she went to Stratford-on-
Avon for the purpose of obtaining
privacy. She had never consented to
the publication of the cards, which
were calculated to expose her to un-
Just contempt in relation to >ler pro-
fession as authoress.
Miss Edith Wall, in an affidavit in
reply, declared that so far from seek
ing privacy at Stratford-on-Avon Miss
Corelli had courted publicity in every
way.
Justice Swinfen Eady said he would
take time to consider his decision as
the point raised had never been decided
before.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-20
Not Contemporary ries


"One card was called. Shakespeare
and His Contemporaries, which looked
as If it was suggested that Miss Corelll
was a contemporary of Shakespeare.
''The cards have caused the lady con-
Siderable annoyance, and the offense
is aggravated by the fact that after
the stationers had stopped selling the
cards large body of sandwichmen
were employed to parade the place and
pass along in front of Miss Corelis
house.
''An interim injunction had been
granted by the vacation judge con-
tinued Mr.. Eve, land it was now asked
that that injunction should be con-
tinued until the trial of the dction."
Mr.. Eve then proceeded to outline the
statements made in the defense. One
member of the firm in question said he
was an artist. at will be necessary
that we shall have that on OATH" said
Mr.. Eve "because from two animals on
one of the cards, supposed to be ponies,
nobody would conclude that he was
what he describes himself to be-"
He also said he was present on an
occasion when Miss Corelli presented
cup to the Stratford- Avon Boat
club. The card was the best represen-
tation he could give from recollection
of the features Of theelady who was 50
gracefully presenting the cup.
He also stated that the lady some-
times went on the Avon in a gondola,
ard the card depicted the sort of thing
that went ON last summer.
Another card, entitled Sweets to the
Sweet" showed pony carriage outside
Miss Coreli's house. Another picture,
showing the lady with a pet dog on a
lawn, was admitted to be purely imag-
mary. Miss Coreli had no dog.

OSCAR s. SANDOR
THE MAN FROM
HUNGARY
Character Sketch of An I'm
portant Witness on the
Peonage Case.

Oscar S. Sander, one OF the men
who has figured more or less promi-
nently in the cases against EMPLOYEES
of the Jackson Lumber Co, of Lock
hart, Ala, charged with peonage and
conspiracy to commit peonage. is a
Hungarian and, according to his own
statement, he is ready to fight a duel
with any man who even intimates
that he is an Austrian. Sander has
seen a good deal of the world, having
touched the high spots in his native
country, in many parts of the CONT
nent, England and New York before
coming south to take position with
the Jackson Lumber Co. He has been
in this country for about eleven
months and has been employed as
naval stores clerk and interpreter by
the company for about six or seven
months.
In his native country where the law
requires that every man shall serve in
the army Sander was a lieutenant.
After leaving Hungary he went to
London where he was engaged in
business for several years, coming
to New York, as stated, about eleven
months ago.
When Sander reached New York
he touched only in the highest places
as he had letters of recommendation
that gave him standing with the bet
ter class of people. he lived high for
while, but finally, his funds having
become exhausted, secured a position
in the south through the influence of
friends. This is his own statement
of the case.
Sander is rather tall and about as
large as a good sized cane stalk. His
features are rather peculiar, his nose
being especially large and his eyes
rather small. His face is long and
lean and indicates a man of quick and
violent temper who probably never
stops to think of what he is about to
do until after an act has been COM
mitted and who would then try to car
ry out the impression that he was
right, willy nilly.
Up at the camp Sander is well
thought of. but it is said that he loves
to tell of the important position that
was his in the old country and about
IuC VI IOluOiNOD ~
we'll that the Lockhatt crowd christ
ened him Count de Kackiak,' nick
name that refuses to be lived down.
Sander is of nervous disposition
and Is almost constantly on the move.
1t is almost an impossibility for him
to keep quiet a minute at the time
and even on the witness stand he
shifts his position constantly. He is
not particularly affable, although will
ling to talk when approached, and
when in conversation is bundle Of
nerves, constantly moving in some
manner.
Sander is bright and is said to be
an excellent clerk. He is well educa-
ted and it is evident that he is a gen.
tleman ito the manor born" but one
who is out of his sphere somewhat in
a lumber camp.
