This statement was made today

There was no record to show

The police were inclined to be.
lieve that the Capone lieutenant
had no direct connection with the
murder. The use OF the gun and
the care with which the silk.
gloved slayer placed it beside the
slain reporter have led to the the
ory that the assassin had an ul.

DARE5
CANNON
MISS WOLFE

The fight to force Bishop
James Cannon, jr., to make a
fun disclosure of his expenditures
in the anti-Smith campaign con-
tinued today.
Dissatisfied with the failure of
the Senate Lobby Committee to
obtain the bishops testimony,
Representative Schafer tR) of
Wisconsin said he is preparing
a resolution for appointment of
a special House investigating
committee.
Schafer, who denounced Can
non on the floor yesterday during
a prohibition tilt. said he would
demand the investigation If Repre-
sentative Tinkham (R.) of MaSSa-
chuSettS. arch foe of the bishop,
failed to do so.
Tinkham Dares Bishop
Tinkham was awaiting action
from Cannon after he accepted
the bishops challenge to subject
himself to a libel suit by throw
ing off the cloak of Congressional
immunity under which he made
a vigorous attack on the Virginia
Methodist.
The Massachusetts, Represen.
tative issued statement in which
he said:
Lest Bishop. Cannon shall
delude anyone into thinking the
charges I made against him in
in the House Of Representatives
were unfounded, and meeting
his challenge that I divest my
self Of my Congressional i'm.
munity, ! desire to restate over
my signature the charges /
made in the House Of Represen-
tativeS."
Tinkham. in his House speech,
asserted Cannon had violated the
corrupt practices act In failing to
report campaign contribution
that he received $65 800 from
E. c. Jameson, New York capi-
talist, and has not yet accounted
for $4,000.
Cannon Defended
The first defense of Cannon in
Congress was made by Represen-
tative Shaffer tR9 Of Virginia,
who said he held no brief for
him:
''Say what you win about
Bishop Cannon, he Is bold and
fearless and can take care Of
himself. G0 out in the omen.
meet him and strike him from
the 'front.'"
He condemned both Schafer
and Tinkharn for attacking Can
non from the House floor, and
asserted their efforts constituted
an attempt "t0 persecute q bishop,
to cripple the. great Southern
Methodist Church and to destroy
prohibition.
