WOMAN ARTIST
FOUNDSTARVED
Miss Finley Hoped to Be-
come Second Whistler.

philadelphia, Dec. 2-After years
of striving to become a second Whist
Ter, Miss Ella Finley, an artist known
by her painting and sculpture far be-
yond Philadelphia. died of starvation,
after sitting four weeks before a mir
ror in her studio In a last effort to
paint a likeness of herself which
would keep fresh in the minds Of her
friends how she looked before the
pangs of starvation demanded their
toll. She finished the picture and 1t
probably will be auctioned off to- de-
fray the expenses of d suitable funeral
for Miss Finley unless some of her
wealthy relatives take charge of the
body.
For thirty years she had been striy-
ing to become a great artist. At first
her works were admired and COM
manded good prices. With this en-
couragemeat she went to work with
renewed energy only to have most Of
her later efforts declared mediocre.
Until the very last Miss Finley de
MED herself every comfort, even food,
to keep her handsome studio at 1918
Chestnut street. 1t was here last Sun
day that DR.. D. Challls Faust, a local
physician interested in art, went to pay
her q friendly call. He noticed her
pallor and asked her to submit to O
professional examination. Within two
minutes DR.. Faust had diagnosed the
case as one of starvation.
Calling In ambulance he sent the
artist to the German hospital. The
hospital surgeon said: "Peritonitis
brought on by starvation An opera
ton was performed Immediately, but
the artist had not the strength to
withstand the shock.
Only one week ago one of her young
artist friends called on Miss Finley
with the hope of persuading her to
enter the ranks of commercial illus
traitors.

KING GEORGE
IN QUARRELS
Several of the Old FayorIte
in Letirement.
pecial bU United Press Wire.

Special By United Press Wire.
London, Dec. liking George is
reported on the highest court author
ity to have cut Home Secretary Win
ston Churchill off the list of his &C.
quaintances-Olfl&lally as well as So
cially. If there is business to pass
between them, it must be through an
intermediary. The King is under
stood to have told Premier Asquith
he would ever see Secretary Church
ill again. AS a matter of legal right,
Asquith might have forced George to
revoke this order, but that would
have created a mighty scandal and
the King would certainly have had
the sympathy of his subjects in de-
manding that he pick his own ac-
quaintances.
The quarrel between his majesty
and Churchill is said to have arisen
from the formers habit of reading
over personally every state paper
submitted to him to sign. Inasmuch
as the home secretary must have a
vast number of papers signed by the
king, this entailed a great loss of
time. So when he laid a big batch
of papers on the kings desk, Church
i'll remarked, significantly, that they
were merely routine-whfch was
true-and need not be read. George
replied with a solemn rebuke for
such careless business methods. Upon
this, Churchill, whose worst enemy
has never accused him of lack of con-
fldenee in the infailibility of his own
Judgment, is said to have responded
tartly that the kings business was
to sign what papers his ministers
laid before him, and that it really
made no particular difference wheth-
er he ever read any of them.
Instantly, so the gossips say, his
majesty bounded out of his chair
with a flow of that language he
learned in his early days in the Royal
Navy, and ordered, Churchill out of
the plaee-ordered him to stay out,
too, as long as George V was on the
throne.
Churchill is not the only one of
King Edwards favorites who has
practically been banished from court.
Most of them, though, saw what was
coming and went of their own ac-
cord. Sir Ernest Cassel, Edwards
intimate friend and business man.
ager, is utterly d~iscredited. Those
who used to go to him on Bonded
knee for social advancement, now
cut him in Rotten Row. Sir Thomas
Upton will not come near the court
again, he Is too shrewd to expose
himself to a certain snub. Lord Mar
Gus Beresford maintains a discreet
retirement among his horses at New
market. Mrs. George Keppet has
gone for a voyage around the world
that will occupy two years? Mrs.
Hall Walker, wife of the muIti-mil-
lionaire brewer and racing king. is
staying quietly at her country home.
The old, staid nobility has come
back into its own. The court is ex
aetly as 1t was under Victoria, fifty
years ago. At Balmoral all the lights
go out at 10. 80 ar night. In the even

getting ready for his game of bridge
