cause not Advertised—Dr. Tracy Objects
to Naming Clerk Outside Norwalk—Dis-
cuss School Building—The Architects
Because the special meeting of the Board of Education held
last night at the Senior High school was not advertised in thelocal
newspapers for a week as required by the state statues, the up.
pointment of a successor to Mrs. Mary Marshall Brooks, resigned
member of the school board, was’postponed until next Friday night.
The reason that the meeting was not advertised according to law
was that John L. Henry, secretary of the board, was unable to get
into communication with Douglas E. Nash, president of the board,
because of the death of the latter ’3 father. ’
The matter of appointing a clerk
to Superintendent G. V. Buchanan to
succeed Miss Anna Predergast. re-L
signed was postponed until next
Monday night. when Mr. Henry told
the board that recommendations for
the position had not been acted up
on by the entire Teacher's commit-
tee. He explained that William P.
“lard. a member of this committee,
was ill at his home. Mr. Henry re-
commended :- sonally the abdomi—
ment of Miss Stella 3!. Buckley. a
school teacher of Ridgefield.
Dr. William J. Tracey objected tr.
the appointment saying that- ‘he re-
comxnendation should go through

fill the vacancy by appointing some
one living in Norwalk. He said third.
he objected to going out of town' to
fill any vacancies in the school sys-
tem. whether clerks or teachers. .88-

ment was deferred.
It was brought out at an execu—
tive session of the board which fol-
lowing the open meeting that Cor—
poratlon Counsel John J. Cuneo had
given a verbal opinion that the
board could appoint William P.
\Vard to 1111 the vacancy in the
board. Mr. Ward's term of office ex-
pires on «January 1. and because of
the fact that he is handling many
of the details l: the new school
building progra . some of the mem-
bers of the board feel that he should
be appointed to succeed Mrs. Brooks.
Alexander J. Rummler. former
member of the Board of Education,
is another name which has been
mentioned in connection with the
vacancy in the board.
Mr. Rummler is from the Fourth
Ward. If his appointment is tpprov-
ed, it will leave the Second District
with only one representative on the
School board. Dr. George G. Faw-
cett.
First actual steps in the bul'ding
program were taken last night V«hon
members of the Board examined and
discussed plans and specifimtions
for the three proposed new build.
lugs and the addition to the Senior
High school: These plans were sub-
mitted by architects in response to
a form letter sent out by the board.
Among the architects who submit-
ted plans were:

and Brother, New York city; Star-
re'tt and Van Vleck. New York city;
R. H. Fuller Inc, Norwalk. and

From the tone of the communica-
tions received from the architects.
it would appear as though it was im-
possible tocarry, out the entire
building program of the Board of
Education unless many economies
are effected. Only one architect pre-
sented plans which came anywhere
within the $350,000 for school build-
ings. This architect estimated that
the building program would cost
about $335,000 exclusive of sites to:

LAMS M43 410.:an
Ellis Corey. wife of the American
steel manufacturer, was yesterday
granted a divorce by the tribunal
of the Seine. Mrs. Corey's suit was
based on the grounds of desertion.
Prior to her marriage to Mr. Corey
Mrs. Corey was Mabelle Giiman,
prominent on the American stage as
a .musical comedy actress.
A Sordid Romance.
The romance of Mabelle Gliman
and William E. Corey which, after
enduring nearly twenty years, ended
yesterday in Paris divorce court. was
the composite of elements fused
from the American stage, American
industry and American society and
fashioned into the form of what ap-
proaches a fiction-like outline.
Both began life unpretentiously,
Miss Gilman as a young girl in Cali-
fornia with aspirations for fame and
fortune on the stage: Mr. Corey gs
an ambitious coal miner struggling
to widen his mental outlook and to
enhance his chance in the Middle
West.
She became one of the leading
musical comedy actresses of her gian-
eratlon; be one of the towering fig-
ures of the steel industry.
His First Wife.
Before he rose spectacularly in the
steel trade Mr. Corey married Laura
Cook. who was more interested in
her children than in improving her
social situation. and in aiding her
husband to move ahead than in add-
ing her own cultural knowledge.
While he was gaining promotion in
his business in Pittsburgh, Miss Gil-
nran came to New York and. because
of her good voice and dancing abil-
ity, easily won a place in a chorus.
Though tempermental, Mi. Gil-
man was industrious and within two
years made a success of her first
parts-in "The Dancing Girl"——and
two years later was starred in "The
locking Bill. After a successful
run. on Broadway this sketch went
on tour. playing in rituburgh on
a night when Mr. Corey had planned
to entertain business friends at the
theatre. _
Divorces ms Helper. .
He fell in love with the inging
dancer. He told his wife of the in-
fatuation and induced her to divorce
him. at the some time settling
