The trouble started before the
queen : arrival.
Trouble Starts
The first clash arose when train
arrangements were made i'll New
York. Carroll assigned Morris to
a stateroom and he objected. Carroll
refused him a private car so he paid
for one of his own, which was at
tached to the royal train.
Then Miss Fullcr's Metropolitan
benefit affair in New York arose as
Il plague and Carroll put his foot
down definitely on any more such
affairs. No more were held and It
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 overburdcncd financially.
The queen, it was generally be
lieved, needed the money which she
obtained for her newspaper articles
on her tour, although she announced
the money would 90 to charity.
More criticism arose because of
the commercialism of the queen S
writing and her Endorsement or uses
of American products. such as mot
or ears, watches, cosmetics and sim
liar things In such charged at
mospherc the royal special pulled
out of New York.
Before West Point was reached,
trouble began. Morris laid detailed
plans for the social activities of the
trip. Carroll objected that they
were too elaborate and too strenu-
Gus and Washburn sided with him,
saving the queen must be protect
ed from endangering her health.
The alignment of Carol and Wash
burn versus Morris persisted for the
remainder of the trip and neither
side at any time was ON speaking
terms.
At Toronto, Montreal and Otta
wa, further disagreement came be-
tween Morris and Carroll over the
use of automobiles in visiting those
cities, social prccedenccs and the
Ike.
At Winnipeg, Carroll q suggested
firmly to the queen that Morris be
invited to leave the train when the
party got back into the United
States at st. Paul. The queen sug
gested it would be too public split
and asked Carroll to try to get
along with Morris. 1t was II tenn,
porary deadlock.
At st. Paul, Miss Fuller, who was
unable to beard the train at New
York because of personal business,
tried to join the party. She had
with her Miss Birkhcad and Mrs.
Alma de Brettcville Sprcckels, of
California, n friend of Hill 5.
Carroll was willing to take Miss
Fuller and Miss Bril- lead, but said
TIE Roumanians objected to the in
clusion of Mrs. Spreckcls. In the
interests of peace-the three wom-
en- followed the special on a rcgu-
lar train.
At Spokane they did board the
