CANNON PROTESTS
 FILING OF CHARGES
Bishop Complains Of Church Action During His Absence


 New York, Sept: 25 Pl-Bishop James Cannon, jr, q the Metho- dist Episcopal church South, con- plained today in radio message of the action of elders of his own church filing charges against him while he was in Brazil on church work.
 The message was sent to the As sociated Press from the American Legion, on which he is coming from Brazil.
 These charges, while ttheir con- text has not been made public, are understood to involve Bishop Can mons stock speculation operations and political activities, as well as certain new charges
 They have been brought by Rev. Dr. Forrest J. Prettyman of Balti- more, Dr. J. T. Mastin and Dr. Cos ten J. Harrell of Richmond, Va, and Dr l. r. Partin of Abingdon, Va.
 Questions Legality
 After detailing circumstances of his notification, while he was spend ing a honeymoon in Brazil with his former secretary, that new charges were to be filed against him, Bish- op Cannon in his message said: 'I shall protest the legality of the hur- ried and premature action taken before my arrival, making impossi- ble conferences with me, which the provision to carefully inquire necessarily includes"
 According to the bishops mes sage he was notified briefly by the four clergymen on September that they were inquiring into his case.
 He cabled immediately offering to meet his accusers in Washington after October 2 and received an an- swer which refused his right to confer with them.
 Friends took up> the matter for him with the complaining elders but had no more success than he himself had, wherefore he boardal the first boat from Santos.

STUDENT EXPLAINS
 ATTACK ON PRINCE
Hatred Of FaSCism Caused Him
 to Try Assassination

Brussels, Sept 25 R-Fernando De Rose, young Italian student, to- day said that hatred of fascism and all that it implies led him to at tempt the assassination of Crown Prince Humbert Of Italy last Octo- Der in Brussels. The young Italian went on trial today for this offense
 After the selection of a jury, De Rosa was asked to explain why he had attempted to kill the crown prince. He launched into an impas- stoned discourse in fluent French, starting with an account of his en- listment as a young boy under the fascist banner and describing how he finally became convinced that fascism meant disregard of the pub lie liberties. This, he said, resulted in his becoming anti-fascist.
 Says He Is Patriot
 T am patriot resolved to defend my country's liberties" he said, and I became anti-fascist a1.er I had witnessed crime committed by 'hS le1oNioIS dSllllSt tliCil pollllCdi enemies without discrimination whether they were conservatives, so- cialists, Liberals, communists or Freemasons. Why did I want to kill the prince? Well, because he iden- tifies himself with the eneimes of the Italian peoples liberty and is prepared to govern Italy under fas- cist rule.
 You wonder why did not choose Italy to commit my deed. An at tempt to kill the prince at Turin would have meant exposing all my friends and relatives to the peril of being held responsible for my crime. this being the usual way for fascists to operate. I did not want to kill for the pleasure of killing but be- cause I am convinced it is neces- sary to show the world that Italians are not satisfied with the fascist policy and that Italy lost all the liberties it enjoyed previous to fas- cism.

Paris, Sept. 25 P>-Interruptson of negotiations between the French and Italians in Geneva concerning naval armaments is regarded in French circles as not amounting to a rupture.
 Talks between experts, 1t was said in official circles this morning, could not in any case have resulted in an agreement. The experts were expected merely to find basis on which the governments could nego- tiate.
 The experts, having failed to find such a basis during their discus sions at Geneva, the question will be taken up by the two governments. It was said that there had been lit- tie expectation in Paris that much would be done at Geneva. Both in Paris and Rome the situation was regarded as impossible for the mo- ment because France cannot con- sent to full parity while Premier Mussolinis prestige is so engaged that he cannot abandon his demand for it now.
 After the lapse of a little more time with possible changes in the general situation, it Is hoped here that compromise may be reached. It was indicated that the French were quite willing to consent to full parity for Italy in the Mediter- ranean, but the official feeling is that no government could consent to re- duction of the fleet so that the ItaI- ians could overwhelm any force the French could assemble in those wa terS

Senator James Reed of Missouri
 Asks Volstead Oct Be Repealed
 Forthwith, 18th Amendment Soon
Comes Forward With the Strongest Wet Platform Yet Offered by Possible Democratic Presidential Nominee.

Washington, Sept. 25 (UP)-For- mer Senator James A. Reed of Mis- souri stood sponsor today for one of the strongest prohibition platforms thus far proposed. His program calls for;
 Imms sdiate repeal of the Volstead act. =
 Repeal of the eighteenth amend ment as soon as possible.
 State control of liquor without federal assistance but with eaoa state having authority to seize liquor imported for distribution within its boundaries in interstate commerce.
 Ths declaration by Reed places him ahead of other possible demo- cratic presidential nominees on the prohibition repeal program.
 Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York has declared for re- peal of the eighteenth amendment, but for substitution of an amend ment to protect state enforcement Of prohibition. Senator Joseph T. Rob- inson of Arkansas, vice presidential nominee in 1928, is prohibition supporter.
 Asks Immediate Repeal
 'The volstead act should be re- pea]ed immediately" Reed declared in announcing his program. "Iu should have been written in blood by Draco and not by a modern leg islature It was drawn by fanatics who crowded into it all of the atro- cities from all of the state laws.'
 Reed said he expected action to come from President HooVr's law enforcement commission.
 "Noble Experiment. Failure
 Tt is obvious now that the peo- pie of the United States have given this noble experiment. a thorough trial and that it has been the most ghastly failure of the century," he said. Ut has created more crime than anysother law in the last 100 years.
 T unhesitatingly say the. time has come when prohibition is bound to be the issue and every person run ming for office should state his views.
 The present director of prohib:- ton has certified to. the absolute failure of prohibition by saying t cannot be enforced without the ac- tive cooperation of state constabu- laries.
 That means 1t cannot be en-s forced unless the people of a state want it enforced and that we will have prohibition limited to certain districts"

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 25 P)-The sands of candles held aloft in the darkness of Creighton university stadium today glowed for the pill grims of the sixth national Eucharis- tic congress.
 The tapers lighted last night dur ing recital of the Holy Name pledge by an audience of 10000 atThe Eu- charistic mass meeting symbolized the climax of the colorful religious ceremony which brought addresses from George Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago and Judge Martin A. Man ton of New York. Thousands more of Catholic faith over the country participated in the devotionals through a broadcast of the cere- monies.
 The example of "our Catholic men in frequent attendance at con- munion" was praised by Cardinal Mundelein as a powerful influence for good on those about them" The two great commands of Pope Plus x -early communion for little children and frequent communion for older Christians-were recalled by the American prince of the church. His Eminence also read message of greeting to the congress from Presi- dent Hoover.
 Judge Manton said that every day 'life brings us into contact with na- lures incomprehensible and said that the mysteries of the Eucharist could not be expected to be any less difficult of penetration.
 Attacks Modern Dress
 Even "ordinarily good Catholic women and young ladies" have been rendered unconscious of the ''inde- cency of modern dress" by contact with life in an overwhelmingly neo- pagan population" the Rev. Athu- anasius Steck of Humphrey, Neb., said in a discussion of modesty in dress by the clery in.the afternoon business session.
 The congress was to conclude this afternoon with the solemn process sion of the most blessed sacranient.

BOND PRICES DROP
IN HEAVY SELLING
High-Grade Group ResistS
Pressure, but List
Sells OFF.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 10.-Depressed by
a heavy flow of forced liquidation con-
sequent on the decline in stocks and
faced with a total of 100000 of
new capital offerings, together with
the $500, 100000 Of German repara-
lions bonds as an immediate prospect,
today's bond market gave way and
prices declined in the most active
session since March.
The only bullish point for bonds was
the oversubScription of the Govern
ment financing The surplus capital
turned back from the allotments re-
suited in heavy buying Of outstanding
long-term Government obligations
such as the Liberty 3l2S, fourth 4H4s
and Treasury 33ss.
High-grade rails, such as Atchtson
General As and Baltimore g. Ohio first
IS and other high-class securities like
American Telephone 5AS and Stand
ard Oil of New York 41as were also in
demand and managed to make frac-
tional Roadway against the trend. But
the rest of the prime group, together
with the convertibles, junior rails and
industrials lost ground, many issues
touching new lows for the current
movement.
Examples of the force of the selling
were Philadelphia g. Reading Coal &
Iron IS, over 612 points below their re-
cent high, and Warner Brothers Pic
lures, 5 points off from their recent
best price National Dairy Products
54s, still influenced by heavy reselling
of bonds issued in the Kraphene Cor
poration purchase, led industrials in
point of volume, dropping fractionally
in price Rubber company credits were
weak. Second-grade rails were thrown
onto the market in large blocks.
While there were isolated points of
strength in the foreign department the
liquidation had emphatic effect here as
we'll German reparations rs sold a
point below their high of last week.
German Central Bank IS were of over
" point and Belgian, Japanese and
Central European obligations lost
ground.
The new issues included $4,000 900
Canadian National Railways 4%s, priced
at SO to yield about 485 per cent; 100,-
600 shares of Electric Power & Light
6 per cent preferred at 1001a, to yield
SOS per cent, and $4,000 shares New
England Public Service per cent prior
lien preferred, priced at 91la to yield
SIS per cent.
