Other Trouble Makers.
The leading persons in the turbu-
lent affairs Of the queens trip in ad-
1ition to Miss Fuller, were:
Ira Nelson Nor lis, retired diplo-
mat, wealthy memter " the Chicago
packing firm, and personal friend
Of the queen. At her invitation, he

The Roumanians in the party,

Quarrel Before Arrival.
The trouble started before the
queens arrival. The first clash
arose when train arrangements were
made in New York. Carroll assigned
Morris to a stateroom and he OBJ
jected. Carroll refused him a private
car SO he paid for one of his own,
which was attached to the royal
train.
Then Miss Fuller's Metropolitan
benefit affair in New York arose as
a plague and Carroll put his foot
down definitely on any more such
affairs. No more were held and 1t
was an open secret that Miss Fuller
went back to Europe broke. The
queen could not aid her financially,
because it is likewise, an open secret
that the Roumanian royal family is
not overburdened financially.
The queen, 1t was generally be-
lieved. needed the money which she
obtained from her newspaper articles
on her tour, although she announced
the money would go to charity.
More criticism arose because of
the "commercialism" of the queens
writing and her Endorsement or use
of American products, such as mo-
tor cars, watches, cosmetics and
similar things. In such a charged
atmosphere the royal special pulled
out Of New York.
fractional Strife.
Before West Point was reached,
trouble began. Morris laid detailed
Plans for the social activities of the
tf. .. Carroll objected that they were
too elaborate and too strenuous and
Washburn sided with him, saying
the queen must be protected from
endangering her health. The align
ment Of Carroll and Washburn ver-
sus Morris persisted for the remain
der of the trip, and neither side at
any time was on speaking terms.
AT Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa
further disagreement came between
Morris and Carroll over the use of
