AIMEE SAYS SHE
IS HEARTBROKEN
AND PENN|LESS
Letter To Personal Temple
Representative Is Made
Public

LOS ANGELES, July % P9-Aimee
Semple Mcpherson is penniless, her
heart is broken and rather than
remain where hosts of miserable
memories press upon her, she left
Los Angeles, cleft all behind which
represented 18 years of the most
exacting labor" to 'start all over
again" in far, untried fields.
This confession, letter written
to Rev. Charles A. Jaynes, her per-
sonal representative here, is the first
direct revelation coming from Mrs
Mcpherson explaining the reasons
for her departure from Los Angeles
two months ago.
Rev. Jaynes declared today that
he made the letter public when he
was refused permission to read ii
from the pulpit of Angelus Temple
last night by Mrs. Mother" Ken
nedy.
The letter stated in part:
"It having been made impossible
for me to longer remain in AngeluS
Temple and pastor my people there
under the present regime, chose
rather than to strive, to step quietly
out, penniless, on to the field, leav-
ing behind me that which tangi5ly
represents IS years of the most ex-
acting labor"
! And farther on:
"I planned TO spend part of my
Itime in the temple, to hold the flocN
together, to care for the precious
students, for whom it is no eXagger-
alton for me to say I would give my
life willingly if it would help then
on their high calling.
However, it is now being made
impossible for me to return to Los
Angeles temple except by some &C
ton of my people. My hands are
hopelessly tied because I have al
ways done the preaching and lef
the business details entirely to othel
hands"
Mrs. Mcpherson declared also il
the letter that she had rather spenC
her entire time in the field rathel
than fight with her mother, Mrs

ion on another recommendation of

conferred with others in charge of the
bill he will have no plan

Prince, lUho Gaze Up
Throne for titan
Haired Girl, Regrets

PARIS, July % (P-The man who
might have been king-and who still
would be, apparently-is spending
restless days behind the drawn shut
ters of his villa in fashionable
Neuilly.
Through a press statement issued
in his behalf, last night he indi-
rectly let the world know that he
calls himself king Carol >of Ru-
mania But since then he has
vouchsafed nothing and nothing has
been ,vouchsafed for him, to explain
ii and how he expects to exercise
the prerogatives that go with the
title.
The former crown prince is re-
manning in seclusion, mourning the
death two days ago, of his father
King Ferdinand of Rumania. But
whether his grief is mixed with re-
gret over what might have been vi
ne had not renounced claim to the
Rulnanian succession in 1925, or
with hope that he one day may
actually ascend the throne left va
cant by his father and now held by
his own five year old son, Michael
Carol refuses to tell.
Few callers enter Carols villa
Madame Magda Lupescu, the titan
haired beauty of Jassy for whom he
gave up wife, child and kingdom, is
a frequent visitor but she is not liv-
ing at the Neuilly villa
This resolution thus far, however
has not been, translated by acts o.
initiative that would make him 6
dangerous pretender, so far as known
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-07-23

A general paralysis of will power
and ambition is the manner in which
former friends and supporters de-
scribe his attitude since his fathers
death One prominent Rumanian
who, six months ago, was prepared
to subscribe a large sum to Carols
cause, now has abandoned him.
The influence of Mime. Lupescu,
SO far as Carols succession to the
throne is concerned is regarded as
unfortunate by his friends and we'll
wishers, although her moral support
appears to have proved great.
Meanwhile Queen Marie, although
now only a dowager queen, is be-
heved in Rtllnanian circles in Paris
to WELD mere power in Rumania a,
present than eyer during her nus-
bands reign.
Prominent Rumanians aver that
she completely dominates her son
Prince Nicolas who is one of the
three members of the regency. The
Patriarch Miron Cristea, another
member of the regency, has been {
devoted friend of the queen for many
years and a great admirer OF wha
he feels is her sound Judgment ir
affairs of state and in her coolnes
in a crisis. AS far as Supreme Court
Justice Buzdugan, the other mem.
ber of the regency, is, concerned, nj
indication has yet been giver
whether he will line up with friends
or foes of the queen.
Meanwhile Premier Bratinao, VIII
controls all the finances of Rumania
including the bank of issue. is al
avowed political enemy of Carol ant
looked upon here as great frienC
of Marie.
