Mrs. Kennedy Declines to

: Mrs. McPhersori
(ABfloplutetr Press Leased W.M.)
LOS ANOKLBS, July 28. Aimee
Semplo McPhersou was asked to
tlav by J.v tiladwyn Nichols, nelf
oxiled leader o a largo group oC
jevoltera Irom Angelus Temple, to
reopen her famous kidnaping trial
and hold It thin time before a
court composed of members of the
temple. - "v
Nicholas stated that the'vonly
way the evangelist pastor of Ange
lus Temple could re-establish her
nelf in the public1 confidence would
be by a verdict of "jiot: guilty,"
rendered by sucli a court after a
full hearing of all evidence for and
against her., 'i ; t; . . . t
The former tempi q choir loader
suggested a trial: in ;Mrs. Mcpher
son's church by people there
sympathetic with her religious
Ideas. 11 i l ; , , ; "
''Aj. trial by others," he1 said,
"might bring a conflict of religions
-which, would affect the judgment
of the case. Her own -people, of
course, would not have this disad
vantage." ; ' - (, ;
.. 1 Even should. the Venlict of ' the
temple oourt be- "not guilty", Nich
ols said, -ho" and his ' tmntt " of
280 secessionists would not con
sider a return , to Angelus Temple
while the evangelist rules." He re
iterated his statement qf 'several
days ago that Airs. Mcpherson and'
her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy,
ousted business manager of the
church, had confessions 'to' make
regarding the kidnaping story find
again demanded they make them.''
- Mrs. Kennedy Obdurate
Lt)S ANGELE(3, July 28.Mrs.
Minnie Kennedy, mother and form
er business 'manager 'of Aimee
Semplo , McPherson, today had re
jected indignantly the proposals
of her daughter , and her Angelus
Temple committee to make her a
pensioner instead of a principal
figure in the' temple. She accom
panied her ' rejection with a
warning to the evangelist that a
"crisis was near," in their row
over teiiple funds. -
Four alternative futures for
"Mother" Kennedy ,w'ere held out
by the, committee appointed by
her daughter. They offered to per
mit Mrs. Kennedy to remain at the
temple "as the evangelist's moth
er,", or to permit her to tour the
world or visit the Holy Land at
the church's expense. They sug
gested that she might carry on
religious work in other fields, if
she liked. In conclusion, committee
suggested that Mrs. Kennedy re
turn to her "wealthy husband," W.
Whittebrck, who is a well to do
engineer on a big Hudson river
liner. '
This last, like the three other
proposals, struck no favorable note
with Mrs. Kennedy. Although there
have been reports from- time to
time that Mrs. Kennedy had mar
ried since her first husband died,
yesterday's statement released by
her daughter's committee was the
first public announcement that
had been made regarding it. Mrs.
Kennedy said she was not divorc

of her Jewels and other possessions

(about, 33,800,000); will beappor--!tioned
among the king's five chll
Idren, including Prince; Carol" who
will receive about $400,000. The
queen, however, ' receives nothing
beyond the use for life ot certain
of the king's properties and palaces.
, The government now proposes
toVsplit up the 30,000,000 lei civil
list which , Ferdinand received,
among Queen Marie, King Michael,
the princess mother Helen, Prince
Nicholas and members ot the re
gency. .
This would allow the queen only
about S30.000 annually for the up
keep of her palaces, the salaries
of her staff) . entertainment pur
poses and other expenditure. This
sum is i very small compared with
the : salaries .and allowances of
other royal figures. King Alexan
der of Jugo-Slavia, Marie's son-in-law,
for instance, receiving more
than a million dollars annually.
Queen Marie Is. said to feel keen
distress, over her financial situa
tion and efforts were started today
by friends to induce the cabinet
to recommend to parliament a lib
eral allowance in order to enable
her, as dowager queen, to maintain
the former dignity and liberality of
her court! ,
. It is trtie, friends said, that the
queen will receive a fraction of the
income from Ferdinand's property,
but as the total, annual revenue
from the king's holdings are less
than $200,000, Mario's share Is al
most negligible.
The queen's remuneration for
her American writings was insig
nificant as compared with the cost
of her American trip.-

on ea,chcount. Joh Langenberg,
charged with sale , was fined $lfiO
and Bert. SPi'iugHtead was lfinni1
$150 on a similar charge. Ingram
Harralson, also accused ' of sale,
was fined $300. Evidence wns
placed before the court that Har
ralson has been engaged in the
sale of liquor fur considerable
time and that his case was one de
serving of heavier sentence than
the others.. . Tho city ; holds a
charge of possession against Har
ralson, 11 bottles of liquor having
been found in his car at the time
of his arrest, according to Chief
of Police Vaughn. The city ofti
cora, however, have been unable to
locate the man and It is though)
he has left town.
In the case of Col. Heed, chftrg
ed with sale, sentence has been
postponed. The court in this case
has no alternative and is required
by law to impose a, sentence of
two years in the county jail. Be
cause of the condition of Mr.
Reed's health such imprisonment
would probably take his life. The
court has no power -of parole and
no authority to impose a lesser
sentence. Relatives have agreed
that ho will leave town and will go
to another city to reside. In view
of this promise tho court is sus
pending passing of sentence but
should he return to Hoseburg it
will probably become necessary to
cause him, w be . confined for two
years. '' i :
