FAMOUS
 AUTHOR
 IS DEAD
NEW YORK, May l2-- William Dean Howells, famous American au- thor, is dead, at the age of S3 years.

At dinner given in 1912 to do hon. or to William Dean Howells upon his i5th birthday, William Howard Taft, then President of the United States, lauded the guest as "the greatest liv- ing American writer and novelist"
 He was the dean of American let tcrs; poet, essayist, diamatist and editor, as well as a weaver of fiction.
 Beginning his first book, "Poems of Two Friends" just before the Civil War, Mir. Howells had completed and published T volumes at the time Of his death, besides acting as editor of various publications, crossing the ocean eighteen times in search of ma terial for his novels, and writing es- says, criticisms and magazine articles.
 Born in Martins Ferry, O., in 1887, he served lis literary apprenticeship as composer, reporter and editor on his fathers newspaper.
 Inwardly l was poet" said the eminent novelist in reviewing his ear ly experiences, with no wish to be anything else, unless in moment of careless affluence l might so far for get myself as to be novelist"
 When 23 years old he travelled to Boston to make the acquaintance of Longfellow, Hawthorne, Emerson, Holmes and Lowell. Though a boy among masters, he became their inti- mate, learning their literary traditions and preserving many of them throughout his long life.
 At the age of "A he was appointed by President Lincoln as United States Consul at Venice. He combined his consular duties with literary work, and produced his celebrated book, "Venitian Life"
 Four years later, in 1865, he came to New York with his wife, who was Elinor G. Mead, of Vermont, and whom he married in Paris in 1862. For two years he wrote editorials for the New York Nation, the Times and the Tribune, an,I then moved to Bos- t,a where as assistant with the At lantic Monthly, succeeding James Rus sell Lowell as tc)tor in 1872. At the age of Al he relrc+ 10 devote himself to his novels, which he produced for roany years at th" ate of two year.
 When 50 years old, MT. Howells .lnd time t. hccome contributing -ditor and lat, writer for the Edi- tors Easy Chair department in ilarper's Magazine For brief per ',d he acted as ci,tor of the Cosmo- Eojtan.
 lr Eowcil2 - he had received de- grees from Yale, Harvard, Oxford, and Columbia universities though he had never attended college - was a keen student of current events. He avowed his belief in socialism.
 "T cannot see," he declared, "that the remedy for existing conditions les anywhere else. But if it is to be remedy must come slowly. Violent revolutions do not permanently solve these problems"
 : On the subject of woman suffrage his opinion was decided:
 "It is one of the most important de- velopments of this generation and one of the most hopeful. The men have made such mess of things that if the women do not come to the rescue I'm sure I don't know what is to become of us."
