ACQUIT CANNON FOR PART IN FIGHT ON AL Virginia Bishop Still Is Facing Church Charge on Stock Market. STATEMENT IS ISSUED Joseph Daniels Predicts Prelate Will Go to Trial for Shares Trading. By IRWIN D. FEMRITE United Pres* Staff Correspondent DALLAS, Tex., May 15. —Bishop James Cannon, Jr., storm center of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, because of his alleged Wall street and political activities, today stood acquitted of charges of “conduct unbecoming a bishop.” The charges, based on his participation in the 1928 presidential campaign, when he opposed the candidacy of A1 Smith, were dismissed Wednesday night by the episcopacy committee of the church at its twenty-first quadrennial session here. This xirtial vindication of Bishop Cannon left still pending against him the charge that he maintained a marginal account with a New York brokerage firm and engaged in stock market speculations. Announcement of the dismissal of the “unbecoming conduct” accusations, which likewise were directed against four other bishops, was made shortly before midnight after the episcopacy committee had been in session eight hours. Besides Bishop Cannon, four other clerics were cleared of the allegations and given votes of character. They are: Bishop E. D. Mouzon, Charlotte, N. C.; H. M. Dubose, Nashville, Tenn.; John M. Moore, Dallas, Tex., and Warren A. Chandler, Atlanta, Ga. In a formal statement explaining its action, the committee said: “In view of ire widespread publicity that has been given to charges against five of our bishops for their interest in the recent political campaign and because many of our people as well as ;ion-Methodists, are greatly concerned with the probable action of this committee, we deem it wise to issue a statement that all charges of this nature come to us and much valuable time has been devoted to their consideration, and that we do not find that the charges are such as to cause any action by the committee of the episcopacy.” One of the twenty persons who filed the stock exchange allegations against Bishop Cannon was Josephus Daniels, former secretary of navy and chairman of the church’s temperance and social service board. Daniels predicted the Virginia churchman would be censured by the committee and that he would be brought to trial. 100 DOGS ENTERED Boston Terrier Exhibit to Open Here Friday.

Foley resigned from the board of park commissioners of the city of Indianapolis, he tendered me his resignation as member of the board of trustees of the Indiana state prison, to become effective May 1, 1930. “Wednesday I had a conference with Mr. Foley and asked him to remain upon this board, and he indicated that he would abide by my wishes in this matter and remain on the board.” 2 GIVEN SENTENCES IN CRIMINAL COURT Lawrence De Bow to Serve Term on Charge of Burglary.

SPEAKER ‘NICK' UNDERARREST Longworth Sent to Work by Sergeant-at-Arms. Bv United Prrtx WASHINGTON, May 15.—Speaker Nicholas Longworth had an “arrest” on his record today. House Sergeant-at-Arms Rogers made the “arrest” among a group of others when it was necessary to gather house members quickly in connection with a filibuster. The unusual procedure brought Longworth today considerable chaffing from his colleagues. The speaker didn’t seem to mind, however, as he was only one of a large number of house members brought into the chamber by the sergeant-at-arms after the house found itself stymied because of a filibuster, unable even to vote adjournment. It was the first tilne in eight years such action had been taken by the house. The last time such procedure had been resorted to was during debate on the Dyer antilynching measure. The bill which caused all the h übbub was the Ketcham bill, a relatively unimportant measure, to establish a foreign service for the agricultural department.

SMOKE CIGARETS FOR HOURS IN CARS, WAITING TO MEET QUEEN

LONDON, May 15.—London’s social season was opened at Buckingham palace Wednesday night when King George and Queen Mary held the first of five royal courts scheduled for 1930. Eight American women were among the hundreds from all nations who were presented to the king and queen. With the others, they arrived at the palace gates hours before the presentation was scheduled to begin, and sat nervously in their automobiles while British common folk stood in groups about the sidewalks, gaping and admiring. Two of the American young women spent the waiting hours smoking cigarets, with white gloves on their* hands to avoid tobacco

PAUL SCOTT, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Scott, 129 West Regent street, was hero of a fire which destroyed the residence this morning, rescuing his father, two of his three brothers and his two sisters from the blaze. The Scott family lost all of their possessions in the fire, which started from a kitchen stove after Mrs. Scoflt had left the house for a grocery. The son, believing her in the kitchen, was attempting to enter the flame-filled room when his mother returned home. He previously had awakened his father and two brothers and his sisters, dashing into the flames to reach his father’s bedroom. Paul was awakened when flames broke through a door separating the bedroom in which he and Ancen slept, from the kitchen. He rescued his sisters, Mabel and Elthie, through their bedroom window, being compelled to drag Mabel to the window, since she had been overcome by smoke and fumes. He then dashed through the flames, after breaking down a door, to reach his father and two younger brothers. farmefTimplicated IN AUTO THEFT CASE Possesses Two Stolen Cars, State Police Charge in Arrest.

MORROW WILL OPEN BATTLE FOR JENATE Ambassador to Make His Platform Declaration in Jersey Tonight. SEEN AS FOE OF DRYS Viewed Curtain Raiser of White House Drive as Wet Candidate. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 15.—Seldom have political leaders awaited an announcement by a senatorial candidate with the intensity aroused by the platform declaration Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow will make in New Jersey tonight. Some even regard it as a curtain raiser for the presidential contest of 1932. Morrow may deny he is looking beyond the primary June 17 and the November elections, but many politicians already have their spyglasses trained on him. This active little man in less than three years has leaped from a J. P. Morgan partnership, untangled the Mexican situation as ambassador, participated as an American delegate in the London naval conference and come back to wrestle in one of the knotiest primary fights of the year. Fort May Enter Race. Politicians expect him to declare wet tonight. If so, it is possible Representative Franklin Fort of New Jersey will enter the primary as a dry, hoping to win against split opposition because the other entry, former Senator Frelinghuysen, once dry, just has turned wet. Morrow is being assailed in New Jersey as a fair-haired son of the house of Morgan, which is described by Frelinghuysen as the dominating power of a gigantic power trust seeking to control congress. Washington, however, has not viewed Morrow’s political rise in terms of the financial interests with which he has been associated most of his life. Viewed Wets’ Hope Morrow is regarded here as the hope of the anti-prohibition forces. His prestige in other directions and his unquestioned ability enables him to be the spearhead of an advance which determined, but less able, wets have failed to make. First, however, Morrow has two bridges to cross in the New Jersey primary and election. But if he gets across, many politicians believe the Republican party may witness a titanic three-cornered tug between Mr. Hoover, Morrow and the “breaks” without which no man enters the White House.

LAWYER GUILTY IN FRAUD CASE Fleming to Be Sentenced by Federal Judge May 24. Verdict of guilty was returned by a federal court jury today against George E. Fleming, Shelbyville and New York attorney, charged with using mails to defraud, in a scheme to collect money from heirs to an alleged $5,000,000,000 estate left by Robert Edwards more than a century ago. Fleming will be sentenced by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell May 24. He said he would appeal the verdict. The case went to the jury Wednesday night. Testimony indicated that Fleming obtained $26,000 from heirs to the Edwards -estate, $25 from each, to be used in a fight to reclaim the property, one of the most valuable portions of Manhattan Island, New York.

AVIATION STOCK IS RAPPED BY WRIGHT

Bv United Prest RICHMOND, Ind., May 15.—Orville Wright, co-inventor of the airplane, believes aviation will enjoy steady progress in the years ahead “if Wall Street can be kept out.” He was here Wednesday to attend inaugural exercises for the new president of Earlham college, Dr. W. C. Dennis. Wright seemed worried over the number of aviation companies being organized, seemingly for manufacture of airplanes, but primarily for the sale of stock, he said. “Aviation is not benefiting from this sort of practice,” the inventor said. Wright said he “couldn’t recommend gliding” when the motive force came from an automobile ahead, because of the possible danger. “Gliding is a great sport, but sloping hills are far better than mechanical towing methods. Too many young persons are led to believe that by gliding they more easily will be able to pilot an airplane,” Wright said. Wright said he had not been in a glider since 1911, although at one

ADMIRAL SLAPS NAVALTREATY Jones Bitter in Attack on London Accord. Bv Prrs* WASHINGTON, May 15.—Bitter and vigorous condemnation of the London naval treaty was expressed before the senate foreign relations committee by Admiral Hilary P. Jones, veteran naval officer, who participated in the London negotiations. Jones severely criticised the limitation of eight-inch cruisers and the division into six and eight-inch vessels of this type, declaring this was contrary to this country’s previous naval policy. He revealed that he had fought a losing battle behind the scenes at London for more large cruisers. He argued the treaty not only gave Great Brtain an advantage over the United States, but also that Japan’s 70 per cent ratio actually means 100 per cent under present conditions. Jones followed Secreatry of Navy Adams, who admitted the United States would not achieve parity under the treaty until after 1936 and revealed that he, like Jones, had sought more eight-inch gun cruisers. Admiral William V. Pratt, com-mander-in-chief of the United States fleet, appeared before the senate naval affairs committee today and indorsed the London naval treaty as establishing combat parity between the United States and Great Britain.

MOSLEM HATE OF HINDU AIDS BRITISH RULE Two Factions Are Unable to Forget Differences and Join Hands. BEGIN TRADE BOYCOTT Strife in India Reacts to Benefit of American Export Goods. This is one of a series of articles on India by Webb Miller, European news manager of the United Press, who flew from London to Karachi to write at first hand his observations of the Independence campaign. BY WEBB MILLER Vj? l j, ed PreM Staff Correspondent (World Copyright. 1930. by United Press) KARACHI, India, May 15.—The ingrown enmity between Hindus and Moslems has worked in a large way against the passive resistance campaign for Indian independence. Although the majority of leaders of both religions have striven in every way possible to reconcile differences and alllow both to work together against British rule, they have met with little success so far. These leaders are convinced that while racial antagonisms remain, India’s forces will continue to be divided. The business life of India is feeling the effects of the Swaraj campaign. Some responsible quarters estimate it has affected the foreign cloth Industry 40 per cent and in certain sections large numbers of contracts with foreign firms have been canceled and orders broken. Unittd States Is Beneficiary The United States is benefiting to a certain extent in some lines. For instance, dealers in this region have boycotted British motor tires and rushed to purchase American—stipulating there must be none from Canadian factories. All must be marked “Made in America.” Some British residents are coun-ter-boycotting Indians and making every effort to make personal purchases from British firms. The Indian Insurance Company, Lakshmi, announced that inasmuch as a large number of policy holders are nationalists, the company has arranged to keep policies alive for those arrested for political offenses. Frequent hartals—religoius strikes —have caused shops and banks to close and have tended to disorganize business. Joined Hands Twice Only twice in history have the Hindus and Mohammedans buried hatreds and worked together against British rule. The first instance was during the great mutiny of 1857. The second was after the great war, when they joined hands In agitation in behalf of the Turkish caliphate against harsh treatment by the allies of the head of the Moslem faith. At that time the Moslems joined the nonco-operation movement of Mahatma Gandhi, recently imprisoned, as pressure against the government. In both instances the co-opera-tion was brief. It was for specific purposes, after which the age-old antangoisms arose again. In conversations with Mohammedan spokesmen here, they have emphasized that the Hindus would have about a 70 per cent majority in any democratic form of government. The Mohammedans would have to demand guarantees for security and protection of their culture, religion and language. And as a result, in the main, they prefer British rule to Hindu rule.

Further aid from the American Legion for disabled war veterans was seen today with presentation of a check for $30,886.25 from the Legion auxiliary to the national executive committee at the opening session of its semi-annual meeting here. The check was presented by Mrs. Donald Macrae Jr., auxiliary president. The gift was in response to a request from the Legion for $25,000 to meet increased demands for veteran aid. Watson B. Miller, rehabilitation committee chairman, said the work is growing heavier each month and is expected to continue so until 1947. BRIDGE CONTRACTS LET Evansville Man Successful Bidder on State Road 61 Projects. Contract for two bridges on State Road 61, in Pike county, was let by the state highway commission today to Henry B.
