Al SMITH SCORED
BY BISHOP CANNON

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-R-
Bishop James Cannon Jr., chairman
of the commission on temperance and
social service of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. South, last night issued
a statement pointing out that his COM
mission had no connection with the
board of temperance, prohibition and
public morals OF the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, which recently attacked
the proposed candidacy Of Governor
Smith of New York for the presi.
dency.
From editorial statements in the
circular-press and form letters and
kilograms which have come to me,
he said, 1T is evident that there is a
failure on the part OF many persons
TO discriminate between the commission
of the Southern Church and the. board
of the Northern branch"
Bishop Cannon, however, criticized
Governor Smith for his stand against
prohibition. He declared it was "un-
thinkable- that a Southern Democrat
approving the national prohibition
law. could. support Mr.. Smith for
President.
"The breakdown in law enforce
ment in New York is directly at
tributable 10 the opposition of Cover
nor Smith TO the prohibition law" be
said.

LIMIT ON BUSES
STOPPING TIME UP
Regulation to Bar Parking on
Downtown Streets
Is Planned.

A regulation which would prohibit
all motor buSSeS from standing on
downtown streets except long enough
tc take on and let off passengers will
be considered by the District Commits
sioners at the next board session.
Under the proposed rules the spaces
now used by various bus lines as ter
minals in the congested area would
remain "no-parking areas so that
the busses could stop there, but the
buSSes also would be required to move
after discharging passengers.
This plan was worked out at a
meeting of the Utilities Commission
yesterday afternoon, but must be put
in effect by the Board of Commission
ers, since it involves parking re-
Striction.
About 10 days ago the Utilities
Board announced that no more inter
state bus lines would be permitted to
terminate In the congested area pend
ing a careful study of the problem of
SO many large buSSes occupying spe-
cial parking places on busy downtown
streets.
The rules now proposed, following
an inquiry by Maj. w. +. r. Covell
and Col. l. {. Moller, will enable the
bus lines to continue to enter the
downtown section, but will prevent
them from parking.
The commission also considered
yesterday the advisability of placing
sirens on the lampposts at about 20
street car intersections in various
parts of the city to warn motormen
and other traffic of the approach of
fire apparatus. There are already
several such sirens in the congested
zone.
This suggestion was made while the
commission was considering the
recommendation of Fire Chief George
Watson that street cars be required to
make fire safety stops at l6o intersec-
tions in various part of the city. The
commission decided TO reduce the
chiefs recommendation to include
only % corners.
