tContlnueo From F1rSJ FaBel
Cannon, jr bearing the signatures of
four Methodist ministers and calling
for another investigation into the &C
tivities of the church official, has been
forwarded TO Bishop william N. Aims
worth of Birmingham, Ala, chairman
OF the College of Methodist Bishops.
The complaint announced today
would bring Bishop Cannon second
time before an investigation committee.
The first investigation, concerning al
legged bucket-shop transactions, was
dropped at the Methodist Conference
at Dallas last May when Bishop Can
non appeared before general session
Of delegates and expressed himself as
being contTite.
Letters Revealed Since.
Since the General Conference at
Dallas the so-called Goldhurst letters,
eaid TO have been written by Bishop
Cannon to H Goldhurst of Kable q
Co. have been revealed. Kable & Co.
was the concern Cannon was alleged TO
have dealt with. 1t was indicated from
these letters that this company did not
transact business like the ordinary
brokerage houses and that Bishop Can
non was familiar with this matter
The letters, said to have been written
in several instances upon stationery Of
the Anti-Saloon League Of Virginia,
were spread upon the pages OF the Con-
rressionsl Record OF July 3, 1880. The
Congressional Record quotes long
hand letter to Goldhurst, dated April
Il. 1929, as follows:
."I can get some additional advances
when my friend is satisfied that sales
are made, as ! agreed, but he cannot
understand failure to send regular
statement of sales as is done by other
houses. Send at once to Richmond re-
port Of all sales
-"Sincerely yours, James Cannon, ir.
Up. S Tell AIS friends not to count
their chickens before they are Matched"
Now in New Light.
AT the Dallas conference the bearing
On charges against Bishop Cannon
dealt for the most part with evidence
Of gambling in stocks through Kable
q Co. In his appearance before the
Assembly of Delegates to express his
sorrow over the matter, the bishop
sought to show that II he had violated
the Conference law against gambling
lie had done so in ignorance under the
belief that his transactions were purely
investment ventures. The Goldhurst
lstters are believed TO have placed the
transactions now In another light.

OFFICIAL ADMITS SALE

NEW YORK. September 20 (A9.-The
statement of Secretary HYDE or the
Department of Agriculture that the
All-Russian Textile Syndicate sold wheat
on the Chicago futures market at the
order of the Soviet government was DE-
clared today to be correct by Z. v.
BeIitzky vice president and treasurer
Of the syndicate.
THE sales were made, Belitzky said,
Gas the usual hedging operation, were
OF a purely business nature" ana were
not intended, as was charged, to drive
down the price of wheat and dlscomnt
SIT is evident he said, chat the sale
of A small quantity of wheat by the
textile syndicate through the Chicago
Board of Trade could not appreciahiy

the fact that the turnover On the
Chicago Board of Trade Is from 90
to so million bushels day" Belitzky
said.
did not know exactly the amount OF
wheat 1t sold, but that Mr., Hyde's
estimate of 100000 bushels was "a
little exaggerated" The operations
were carried on over a period of sew
eral months. all, however, during this
wear, he asserted. The orders were
executed through an unnamed Ameri-
can grain broker described by BeutzSy
as zone of the best and biggest in
the trade"
He expressed surprise at the action
of Secretary Hyde.
"There was no investigation when
we bought $3.50, 200, 900 worth OF Ameri-
can goods" Mr. Belitzky said, but we
sell a little wheat, and"
He shrugged and left the sentence
unfinished,
said that the syndicate was an "inde-
pendent organization and not SUBJ
sidiary of the Amtorg Trading Corpora
ton" but when questioned as to the
directories Of the two organizations he
said that Peter A. Eogdanou, chairman
of the board of Amtorg, also was a
director of All-Russian Textile Syndi-
cate.
The syndicate was organized in De-
cember, 1928, to act as buying agent in
this country for various Russian trusts
Official government agencies). 1t deals
only in commodities like textiles, grains,
sugar and other products. 1t does not
infringe in any way on Amtorg's activi-
ties, which are those of purchasing
agent for industrial products.
E. v. Kadik is vice president in gen.
eral charge of All-RuSsian Textile Syn
dicate in the United States. The presi-
dent is G, NJ. Melintshansky, who is In
Moscow.
The corporation. Belitzky said, buys
only in the United States and has not
been purchasing wheat in Canada.
Exports of Russian wheat to Europe
during the month of July, according to
figures supplied by the American-Rus-
sian Chamber of Commerce, totaled
.905 ,286 bushels. Total of all grain
exports was 5,404,172 bushels.
Great Britain and Germany are the
two greatest buyers Of Russian grain.
No Russian grain is exported to the
United States because OF the high
tariff, which is ~ per cent on wheat.
1t was one of the points of Secretary
Hyde's protest to the Chicago Board of
Trade that the All-Russian Textile
Syndicate could not hope to cover its

Of Board of Trade market facilities for

late in the day when informed of a
second message from the Agricultural
Secretary challenging the board to con-
slider its position as an open market in
view of the "manipulations' by the
Russian government.
