INQUIRY INTO
THE MCPHERSON
STAR t S
Cnx plsnntch A. Z. wirel

LOS ANGELES, June 1.--Captain
Herman Cline, chief of detectives Of
the Los Angeles police force, today
started his investigation of the dis
appearance of Aimee Semple McPher-
son, evangelist, while swimming at
the beach, May IS, by questioning
Mrs. Minnie Kennedy. Mrs McPher-
sons mother, and Miss Emma Schaef-
fer. the evangelist's secretary. The
latter accompanied Mrs. Mcpherson
the day she dropped from sight at
the beach. a victim of drowning, ac-
cording to Miss Schaeffer's report to
the police.
Cline announced that both women
told substantially the same stories as
have been credited to them previously.
Cline pointed out, that in the face
of lack of evidence to support any
theory other than drowning as So
luton of the mystery, the supposi-
tion that the pastor of Angelus
Temple met her death in the waves
is the most tenable, but that the
prominence of Mrs. Mcpherson and
the recurrence of reports and rumors
that she was not dead demanded
careful sitting of all evidence in the
public interest.
Cline and District Attorney Keyes
held a lengthy conference, the result
of which was an announcement by
Keyes that they had decided to drop
the investigation in view of the lack
of evidence to support any theory
other than drowning.
This statement, Cline vigorously
denied, declaring that search for Mrs.
McPherson's body and the probing of
any suspicious circumstances in the
case, should any develop, would be
prosecuted vigorously.
Cline closed his first days inVes-
tigation of the pastors disappearance
by leaving on hurried trip to north
ern California. The trip may be ex-
tended to Seattle during which he
will investigate reports and rumors
concerning the Mcpherson case. He
also will check on the movements of
Kenneth G. Ormiston, former radio
operator at Angelus Temple, who was
questioned during his brief stay in
Los Angeles last week. 0@ aG
Following his talk with Mrs. Ken
nedy, Cline announced that the fl
nancial condition of the Angelus,
Temple association through which all
donations to the church were said to
pass, and of which Mrs. Mcpherson
and Mrs. Kennedy are the principal
officers, were in good condition.

U. S. LOSES in
KAIBAB SUIT
in l. A. COURT
(By Dispatch A. 2. yvire)

Los ANGELES, Calf, June l.
Control over the vast herds of mule
tailed deer in the Presidents forest
commonly known as the Kaibab Ma
sional forest, in Arizona, is matter
which must be decided in the United
States district court of that state.
After brief hearing here today a.
ruling to this effect was handed down
by three federal jurists sitting en-
banc. The judges were circuit Judge
Erskine M. Ross, United States Judge
William p. James and United States
Judge +. c. Jacobs.
Specifically, the court denied a tenn
porary injunction sought by the fed
eral government to prevent Governor
Hunt of Arizona, D. e. Pettis, state
game warden, Frank Harrison, dis
trict attorney OF Coconino county, and
Sheriff George Parsons from inter-
fering with a plan of the federal for
est service to reduce the number of
deer in the forest.
The forest is a game reserve cre-
ated by the department. of agriculture
serve by national barriers on approxi-
mately two and one-half sides of it,
counsel for the United States govern
ment contended that the animals are
owned outright by the government
and that the government could make
whatever disposition it chose of the
property,
Although. granting that the forest
service could kill the deer in case Of
necessity, the situation being. compar-
ed to one created by the foot and
mouth disease, the court held that the
contention Of outright ownership had
not been sufficiently established to
warrant the granting of a temporary
injunction. restraining order, it
was pointed out would permit the
carrying out of the move which the
state of Arizona seeks to defeat.
Relative to ownership of the deer,
the court held that game as such is
not the specific property of anyone
and that counsel for the government
had not completely shown that the
deer of the forest were entirely con-
fined to that area by the natural bar
riers surrounding them. If they were,
the court said, it would make them
the property on the government as
contended.
Although holding that, the deer
might be killed, it was ruled that il
ownership of the animals by the gov
ernment was not definitely, establish
ed, the transportation of their car
casses or their hides between counties
or into other states would be in vio~
lation of the Arizona state game law.
The COURTS opinion makes it pos
sible for the forest service to kill the
animals and dispose of them. on the
reserve, but not for the service Ito
carry cut it's plan of issuing special
permits to hunters who would kill the
deer and take them away.
