IGN0REs
CANNON REPLY
ON CHARGES
Accused Bishop Radios Attack
on Probe Procedure, But
Complainant Is Undeterred

Technical objections" raised by
Bishop James Cannon, Jrp, TO the
charges recently filed against him
by four travelling elders Of his
church will not deter pressing OF
the Investigation into the acttyi-
ties of the political parson." the
Rev. DR.. Forest j. Prettymal1, OF
Baltimore, declared here today.
DR.. Prettyman, former chap
lain Of the United States Senate
and one Of the four elders who
signed the charges made against
Bishop Cannon. was In Washing
ton attending the Baltimore Con-
ference Of the Methodist Church
South. His statement was in re-
ply to charges made by Bishop
Cannon In a radiogram.
Church Laws Met
The Baltimore minister said
every precaution had been taken
by him and his colleagues to com.
ply rigidly with the law Of the
church in presenting the charges
and that the complaint was flied
only after the most careful con
sideration and matured thought"
Bishop Cannon, In q radiogram
sent from the steamship Ameri'
can Legion. on which the bishop
and his wife were returning to
New York from Brazil, said he
would contest "the legality Of the
procedure" because he had not
been given an opportunity to dis
cuSs the. charges with the four
elders before they were presented
to Bishop w. N. Ainsworth.
The churchman described the
action Of the four elders as
hurried" and premature" add
ing that 1t had been taken before
his arrival in this country and
thus making impossible a con
ference with me which the dis
ciplinary provision to carefully
inquire necessarily means"
But DR.. Prettyman said:
I'VE have NO intention 10 be
deferred from pressing our com
pIatnt against Bishop Cannon
to = successful conclusion BY
his protest that the procedure
is Illegal under the rules Of
the church or by any other
technical objections which he
may see fit to raise.
In taking the action We
did against Bishop Cannon. i
realize fully, as I am sure my
three associates did, the gravity
and seriousness Of the steps
We were considering. Il was
only after the most matuFed
thought and serious reflection
that we decided to proceed be.
cause we believed the welfare
Of our church required such
action"
