Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-An fnvesti- gation by the coroner into the death of Maida Dupree, also known as Maida Lane and Betty Daley, of New York, a vaudeville actress, who committed suicide in 8 hotel here last night by taking poison, brought to light the fact that she had followed George Le Maire, an actor. to this country from England and that when she failed to succeed as an actress she ended her life.
 Le Maire is appearing with a the atrical company in this city. Last night he received note signed Betty Daley" asking him to go to a room in the hotel on an important matter. He was unable to gain adnittance and when the hotel management forced an entrance the young woman was found on the floor unconscious. She died several hours later. Le Maire recog- nized her as the woman he met in London. She had registered at the hotel last night and attracted atten- ton because of the jeweIry she wore.
 Le Maire told the coroner that he had been introduced to the woman in London nearly a year ago, that she had been ambitious to make a suc- cess as an actress and had failed. She had written him and had also sent him telegrams in London and in New Fork appealing to him to help her to become a successful actress.
