statement.
The chairman said he had ex-
pressed the opinion in Arkansas that
the committee had no authority to 60
into purely political activities. He
said the statement might have been

Cites Curran Examination
Referring to assertions he said had
been made to the effect that the COM

animation of Henry H. Curran. presi-

He said the association had been

LOBBY COMMITTEE
MOVES TO REPORT
BISHOP TO SENATE
Blaine Offers Resolution to Have
Solons Decide on Can.
mons Case

washington, June 12.-(R-Moves
TO report Bishop Cannon to the. SEN
ate for possible contempt proceedings
and to ask for specific authority to
investigate political activities were
initiated today at the lobby commit
tee session.
A vote was deferred until 3 o'clock
this afternoon when a special meet
ing will be held.
With the 65-year-old churchman
on the stand, Senator Blaine, Repub-
lican, Wisconsin. called upon the COM
1nittee to cite him to the senate be-
cause of his refusal to answer Ques-
tions on his 1928 campaign against
the Alfred E. Smith presidential
candidacy.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana,
proposed as a substitute that the
committee seek direct authorization
to go into political work.
The new moves against the bishop
came today after the committee had
formally advised him he would not
be compelled to answer questions
about his 1928 anti-Smith activities.
Vote Four to One
Chairman Caraway, Democrat, Ar
kansas, said the vote Of the commit
tee on this was four to one. Senator
Blaine, Republican, Wisconsin, cast
the dissenting vote and initiated his
move against the churchman during
a session of the committee today.
Bishop Cannon had walked out OF
the committee last week but returned
yesterday, without being directed, to
continue testimony on activities OF
the Southern Methodist board Of
temperance. He asserted, however.
his right to decline to answer as to
his own political work.
Senator Blaine contended the COM
mittee had power to 60 into political
activities. He cited the examination
of Claudis Huston, chairman Of the
Republican national committee, and
said any question relating to lobby
ing was pertinent.
Lobbying has been regarded by the
committee" he went on, "as activity
which involves an attempt to influ-
ence legislation by congress"
MY position" said Blaine, " Is the
committee has authority to go into
Bishop Cannon's financial records to
ascertain If any Of the money has
been used in lobbying activities.
Says Questions Pertinent
II maintain 1t is pertinent to ask
questions about accounts so the COM
mittee may obtain information to re-
quire the delivery of those accounts"

ferred dealt with SOS, 300 contributed
