CONFERENCE ACTION
ON CANNON SCORED
Pastor Declares It Will Go Down
in History as withdrawing
Gambling Bishop"
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAVANNAH, Ga, May 26.-The
Savannah Morning News today publish
ed a sermon by Or. John e. White,
president of the Georgia Baptist con-
vention, in which DR.. White criticized
the disposal of charges of stock specu-
lation brought against Bishop James
Cannon, IT,, at the recent conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South.
In the prepared sermon which Dr.
White delivered at the First Baptist
Church here last night he said, in part:
This Is not matter for Methodists
only-it upsets us all. 1t Is wound
keenly felt by all Evangelical Christian
ity. It Is especially a heavy blow to
the cause of prohibition for which Bap-
lists and Methodist in the South stand
together in close sympathy.
There should have been some way
for great church conference to indi-
cate its support of Bishop Cannon's
prohibition activities and. at the same
lime, to repudiate his gambling activities.
The conference passed resolutions con-
demning all sorts of gambling, but 1t
whitewashed the gambler. It pro-
nounced against public evil in the
abstract, but condoned 1t in the con-
crete
Many great and good things are
doubtless being done by the conference,
but 1t will go down in history as the
general conference of the Southern
Methodist Church which whitewashed
gambling bishop"

BIG NAVY FOES

Ranking Officers to Block

BY the Associated Press.
With ratification of the London naval
treaty at an early date virtually assured,
a fight Is looming in the Senate on the
question of whether legislation to au-

sitlon to ratification.
Admiral after admiral has commended
that America has no need for all of the
slx-lnch-gun cruisers allotted to the
United States by the treaty. Rear Ad-

Oratory Judges
Hard Pressed to
Determine Victor
CulliOn, Third in First
Ballot, Named Winner
ON Fourth Vote.

The difficulty Of selecting the win
ner of a National Orat6rical Contest
when the quality of the oratory Is as
consistently high as that displayed In
the finals Saturday night is manifest in
the voting of the eight judges.
On the first ballot, Edmund A. Gull
lion, The Stars champion, who finally
was chosen winner, was rated third,
with Seymour Peyser of New York City
first and Vernon Lawrence Withuhn of
Seattle, Wash, second. None received
the flve first places necessary to create
national champion and a consultation
Of judges was held to determine the
ranking Of the best three speakers.
Fourth Ballot Is Necessary.
Another ballot was taken. Gullion
and Peyser each were given three firsts
and Withuhn two, eliminating the
Seattle boy. A third vote was taken,
with four judges for Gullion and four
for Peyser. After a lengthy discussion
OF the merits of the two boys, one of
the arbiters swung over to Gullion, CIV
ing him the contest.
This years contest is the first in
which the East has furnished national
champion.
The contest began seven years ago
and since that time the Pacific Coast
has had two champions, the South
two and the Midwest two.
Strong Bid in 1924.
In 1924, the first year the contest
assumed national proportions, Don Ty-
Ter, 10 years old, of Los Angeles, Calf.
was chossn winner. That year, how
ever, Washington made a determined
bid for the championship through Miss
Ruth Newburn, 10 years old, of Eastern
High School, who was tied with Tyler
on the first ballot.
The next year the champion was
Robert Sessions, Is years old, of Birm-
ingham, Ala, the youngest orator to
emerge victorious from the national
finals. Herbert Wenig, 10 years old,
Of Hollywood, Calf, won in 1926, and
Miss Dorothy Carlson, also 1s, of Salt
Lake City, Utah, In 1927.

test this year, sent champion to

NAME NEW PLANET PLUTO
Lowell Observatory Officials Present Selection to American
Royal Astronomical Societies and Approval Expected
Minerva and Cronus Other Titles Considered.

Roman dieties most fittingly described
the new planet. Since its discovery was
SO pre-eminently triumph of reason
ing, Minerva, the goddess of wisdom,
would have been our choice had not
her name for so many years been borne
by an asteroid.
"Cronus," the son Of Uranus and the
father of Neptune, also would have
been appropriate, but we finally agreed
on Pluto, god of the regions of dark
ness, as most symbolical of the distant
unknown region where planet K holds
sway. Jupiter and Neptune already
are in the heavens. and it seems APP
propriate that Pluto, the third brother,
also should have q place.
"All planets have symbols which
frequently are used instead of their
whole name, and Pluto lends itself
easily to the monogram p. L. the
initials of Percival Lowell and will be
a fitting memorial to him"
