I ATELY, while attempting to collect

GERMAN BRIDE

BUCHAREST UN.S0.-
Bucharest is hearing reports
about King Carols intentions to
break his long relationship with
red-haired Nine. Lupescu and get
respectfully married to q princess
Of royal blood.
It is also reported that he ap-
preached his divorced wife,
Helena, with a view to effecting a
reconciliation, but that she de-
clined the offer and the King is
consequently looking for a suit
able bride.
It is q fact that for the first
time in ten years Carol spent his
summer holidays without Lupescu.
It is also true that Prince Fried
rich of Hohenzollern-Sigmarin'
gen, the kings uncle and the
head of the Hohenzollern branch
to which belong the kings of Ru
mania, has been in Rumania on
an important family mission at
the court of his nephew.
Queen Marie, Prince Nicholas
and ex-Queen Elizabeth of Greece
are in constant communication
with Carol. The greatest secrecy
surrounds these family councils.
Rumor has it that Prince
Friedrich of Hohenzollern-Sig-
maringen will be intruSted with
the mission of finding Carol a
wife of German royal blood.
Lupescu leads a retired life in
a villa on the outskirts OF
Bucharest. She seldom appears
in public and devotes now most

NEW YORK, Nov. IA G.N.S0.
It was jealousy that caused
blonde Vera Stretz to fire four
bullets into the body Of DR..
Fritz Gebhardt, German econ
omist, in his fashionable apart
ment early Tuesday, police de-
clared today.
A city-wide search was under
way by detectives for another
woman, unidentified, who is said
10 have held a secret rendezvous
with DR.. Gebhardt Sunday night,
two days after his return from
q visit to his wife and children
in Germany.
Miss Stretz, according to the
newest police theory, knew Of
this rendezvous and trailed DR..
Gebhardt and the other woman
to a midtown hotel, then waited
for hours in the lobby for them
to come down from an upper
floor.
Early Tuesday, the police now
believe, Miss Stretz confronted
DR.. Gebhardt with the hotel cpl
sode and killed him in a jealous
frenzy. She was found near her
own apartment, two floors below
that occupied by DR.. Gebhardt, a
short time after the shooting, with
q pistol and four cartridge shells
in her purse.
Meanwhile, Miss Stretz, in her
cell in the women's detention
home, continued to maintain the
tightlipped silence that has been
hers ever since she was arrested
and remarked to detectives, Sure,
I shot him." At the district attor-
ney's office it was said first

be sought against the New York
University graduate and former

Roper's presence has not been re-
queSted.
Omission Of the Secretary's
name on the invitation list is puz-

recommendations.
Failing to be included in Mr..
Berry's plans, Mr.. Roper dis

MERCY DEATH
PLEADEN|ED

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 13
Q.N.SO.-Anna Becker, "a, who
reputedly has appealed for a
physician TO put her to death,
has every reason to live.
Her condition, according to her
physician, is not hopeless.
There is reason to believe that
Miss Becker, who is reported to
have requested the Erie County
Medical Society to aid her in
having physician end her life
to save her endless suffering"
may be restored to health. DR.,
F.. w. Burkhardt, who has been
attending her, said today.
Miss Becker, DR.. Elrkhardt
said, has been in a Semi-invalid
condition for sometime as the re-
suit Of a traumatic injury Of the
bladder, apparently suffered in
a motor collision two years ago.
AS a result Of the injury, she is
subject to irregula:' spaSmodic
convulsionS and intermittent, ex-
treme pain.
"I do not consider her neceS-
sarily incurable," DR.. Burkhardt
said.
Naturally, in her condition,
she is subject to considerable pain
and is at times invalided.
However, I do not think her
condition is such as to induce
her to despair of ever recovering
her health.

death is concerned, I knew moth
ing Of it until a local newspaper
published such a statement pur-
porting to be written by her"
