MOVES TO REPORT
BISHOP CANNON TO
SENATE LAUNCHED
Step to Ask Authority for
Political Inquiry Also
Is Initiated.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Moves to report Bishop Cannon to
the Senate for possible contempt pro-
ceedings and to ask for specific author
ity to Investigate political activities
were initiated today at the lobby COM
mittee session.
A vote was deferred until o'clock
this afternoon, when a special meeting
was called.
With the 65-year-old churchman on
the stand, Senator Blaine, Republican,
of Wisconsin called upon the committee
to cite him to the Senate because of
his refusal to answer questions on his
1928 campaign against the Alfred E
Smith presidential candidacy.
Walsh Substitutes Political Move.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana,
proposed as a substitute that the COM
mittee seek direct authorization TO go
into political work.
Earlier in the session the committee
formally advised Bishop Cannon that
he would not be compelled to answer
questions about his 1928 anti-Sm1th
activities.
Chairman Caraway said the vote was
to /.
Senator Blaine cast the dissenting
vote.
Besides Caraway, a Democrat from
Arkansas, other committeeman are Sen
ators Borah, Republican, Idaho; Rob-
inson, Republican, Indiana, and Walsh,
Democrat, Montana.
The committee decision was reached
a a
continued testimony on activities of the
Southern Methodist Board of Temper
ance, but had asserted his right to de-
cline to answer as to his political work.
Walsh Gives Stand.
He had walked out on the committee
last week and returned yesterday with
out being directed. Senator Walsh,
who said his action in leaving the COM
mittee room was in contempt of the
Senate, said today:
II concur in the ruling that the COM
mittee ought not to require Bishop Can
non to reply to those questions which
he has objected to answering, not be-
cause, in my judgment, the committee
has no power, nor because the ques-
tionS were improper.
MY view about the matter Is, how
ever, that inasmuch as there is division
among the committee as to the author
ity of the committee under the resolu-
ton by which 1t is operating, 1t would
be unwise to go farther"
The head of the 65year-old church.
man was bowed as he sat in the wit
ness chair listening to Walsh.
Senator Blaine then took the stand
that the committee had power to go
into political activities. He cited the
examination of Claudius Huston, chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, and said any question relating
to lobbying was pertinent
Lobbying has been regarded by the
committee" he went on, "as activity
which involves an attempt to influence
legislation by Congress"
Blaine said lobbying involved at
tempts to obtain appointments to Fed
eral Offices, and the committee had in
quired into such activities. The COM

HELEN is QUEEN,
KING CAROL TELLS
BROTHER NICHOLAS
Death of Father Before Di-
vorce Automatically EIe-
waited Both, He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, June H.
King Carol today was reported to have
declared the Princess Helen, his former
wife, to be already Queen of Rumania."
The King told his brother Nicholas
and his sister, Princess Elizabeth, that
when his father, King Ferdinand died,
he, Carol, automatically became King,
Helen became Queen.
Since then the divorce was pro-
nounced. But with the parliamentary
annulment on Sunday of all inter-
vening events since King Ferdinands
death and his own installation as King,
Helen, automatically became Queen.
King Carol begged Nicholas to give
this message to Helen, which he did,
when the mother of Crown Prince
Michael came to bring their child this
forenoon to play.
Helen was reported as having declared
herself satisfied.
Helen Believed to Love Him.
From palace circles today there was
gossip which some accepted as indica-
ton that convention and outraged pride
led Princess Helen to remain firm in
her refusal to return to King Carol, but
that her less mundane heart still be-
longed to the father of her child.
1t was told that Sunday afternoon
King Carol visited the Kisselhoff Pal
ace, where she is residing while he re-
mains at the Cotroceni Palace, and in
advertently ran into the princess-moth-
er at the head of a staircase. They
exchanged pleasantries and he passed
on.
Turning to one of her ladies-in-wait-
ing, Princess Helen exclaimed, her hand
on her heart: "Ah, but he is grown so
handsome!" She heaved a sigh and
her bosom swelled with emotion before
she turned and continued downstairs.
Michael May Bring Reunion.
There is other gossip that Michael,
their reunion. He divides his time be-
tween his mother and father.
He sleeps at the Cotroceni Palace,
but is taken to Kisselhof Palace at IL
o'clock every morning for visit with
his mother. He returns later to his
fathers knee for parental dos and
donts and then is taken back to Prin-
cess Helen's for light meal before re-
firing at Carols quarters.
The young grand voivode is said to
be most delighted at having his father
back again, and in his childish manner
to be eXerting himself to heal the rift
between the two parents. Desire to
have him near her already is said to
have motivated Helen's decision to re-
main in Bucharest.
Carol to Meet Marie.
When the queen mother, Marie,
returns today from a visit to the
Passion Play" at Oberammergau.
Bavaria, she will be met at the railway
station by King Carol who longs now,
it is said, to heal the wounds caused by
estrangement from his family. In
Vienna yesterday, Queen Marie said she
had no higher hope than to see Carol

GREEK ENVOY DEMANDS
APOLOGY FOR ARREST
Consul General in Chicago Is
Nabbed by Evanston officer
on Traffic Charge.

By the Associated Press,
EVANSTON, Ill, June 12.-George
Depasta, consul general for Greece in
Chicago, wants the chief of police to
apologize.
Depasta was arrested for driving past
a stop sign-no trif1ing matter in
Evanston. He told the arresting officer
that he was immune to arrest for such
a minor law infraction, but the officer,
unschooled in international amenities,
paid no attention.
At the police station, the desk
sergeant recognized the delicacy of the
situation and ordered DepaSta released.
The consul general, however, was not
satisfied. He demanded an apology
from Chief of Police Freeman, who, I'M
fortunately, was not present.
IT can't be arrested in this town for
anything less than a felony" Depasta
said. Three years ago was arrested
here for speeding, and the next day the
chief had to issue a formal apology"

The thought which seemed to possess
every soul on board the Inflated steamer
Fairfax crept, last Tuesday night, into
the minds of two Washington girls
chums who had embarked on a vaca-
ton cruise together and who, at that
moment, were huddled in a choking
passageway against the white, hot hull
of the passenger liner.
They must choose any time now, Iona
Browne and Sara Poynton assured each
other, between death by drowning and
death by fire. Though they crowded
the blistering wall to secure the better
air, the passageway grew hotter and
more suffocating every minute.
Through port holes they saw the red
glare of gasoline burning on the sea

has spent nearly a million dollars In
equipment for his brewery. has aroused
drys to a realization they must fight 10

Now Pabst Is disappointing the thirsty
by publicly admitting there is nothing
positive about beer coming back How
ever if l did not feel 1t would be legallzed
within a reasonable time, I would not
have spent 100000 for new equipment"
Pabst says he realizes nothing can be
done to legalize beer before congress
meets In December, and If the present
congress viii not listen TO the demand
for beer, then they will try TO secure it
when the new congress meets in Deem

placed on beer. he probably would sell
beer at ten cents pint bottle.
