BISHOP CANNON LOSES INITIAL PARLEY FIGHT Forces of Josephus Daniels Win Out in Battle on Prohibition. BY IRWIN I. FEMRITE I'nited Prejs Staff Correpondent DALLAS, Tex., May 9.—Effect of Bishop Jame3 Cannons defeat by the forces of Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy, in the initial skirmish of the quadriennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was discussed widely in convention quarters here today. Churchmen for the most part agreed Thursday’s vote, on the question of referring to the conference committee on temperance resolutions dealing with prohibition, was not a personal reflection against the bishop, who introduced them. Neither did they see in the action any tleup between the vote and reported attempts of individuals to have Bishop Cannon censured for his activities in the presidential campaign of 1928 and his alleged speculations on the stock exchange. The resolutions which caused the convention to split asked that congress take immediate action to enact new and stricter prohibition laws and the supreme court be commended for its recent ruling that makers of paraphernalia for manufacturing illicit liquor were guilty of violating the prohibition laws. Both were defeated. BURGLAR CAUTIOUS Loosens Fuse Plugs Before Robbery of Home.
