 CRITICS IN PRESS
Bishop Authorizes Attorney to Scan Newspaper Attacks
PLANS VIGOROUS ACTION
Claims Buffalo Catholic Paper Pub ltshed Matter That Was Clearly Ltbelous Comments on Senate Statements.

Washington, June 16 CUP) - Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the Southern Methodist church an- nounced today that his attorney is scanning newspaper articles and edi- torials about him with a view to prosecuting the publishers of those he believes libelous. He said the newspaper published libelous matter.
 At the same time Cannon united in an appeal to the senate with Eugene L. Crawford, secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance and Social service, of which Cannon is chairman, asking that the entire Wickersham law enforcement pro- gram be passed before adjournment.
 Text of Statement
 His statement said:
 Bishop James Cannon, Jr., issued a statement that he had consulted counsel with reference to the vari- ous cartoons. editorials and alleged news articles published concerning him in various wet and Roman Cath ollie publications during the past two years, and had requested counsel to make a careful examination of all of those publications with view to determining which, if any, of them may be the basis of action for libel, either criminal or civil.
 His counsel already has reached the decision that the Catholic Union and Times. of Buffalo. New York, has published clearly libelous matter. This paper has been the most abu- sivc of all the Roman Catholic papers which have been attacking Bishop Cannon for the past two years.
 The bishop further announced that it would be his purpose to meet all further publications, as well as those. which have already been made, as far as counsel may consider them proper grounds for action, with the processes Of the law,
 }lelous, cowardly attacks made in the sena' nd the house of repre- sentatives a immune from such prosecution"
 The bishops declaration of war fare on his newspaper critics fol- lowed only few days after his | victory over the senate lobby com~I mittee, which finally ruled he did not have to tell of his work in Virginia | against former Governor Alfred E. ! Smith.
 Asks Prompt Action
 The Cannon-Crawford statement i appealed, in the name of the con- stituency we represent" for prompt l action on the entire Wickersham law i enforcement legislative program. | Thus far. the senate has passed only | one bill, that transferring prohibition enforcement from the treasury to ! the justice department.
 Four others have been passed by . the house and are before the senate | judiciary committee. The house plans | to pass still another one this week. 1
 In view Of the crowded calendar . and the imminence of adjournment, | senate leaders have not planned to | act on any more prohibition bills at | this session, despite President Hoov- | CTS appeal that the entire Wicker i sham program be made law,

PREMIER PRESENTED
WOMEN'S ARMS PLEA
Representatives of Four Nations
Urge Actual Reduction at
London Farley.
BY MARTHA DALRYMPLE,
Associated Press Stan Writer.


LONDON, February 6.-Representa-
tiveS of the women of four nations
the United States, Great Britain, France
and Japan-today presented to Ramsay
Macdonald, chairman of the Five-Power
Naval Conference, petitions asking the
conference to achieve actual armament
reduction which would aid in bringing
about a lasting peace.
Premier Macdonald, Col. Henry l.
Stimson, Retire Wakatsuki of Japan
and M. Matthew of France received the
women in the conference room at St
James Palace and accepted from them
large brief cases full Of signatures to
their petitions.
After speeches by the women, par
ticularly Mrs. Edgerton Parsons, repre-
senting the Conference of Cause and
Cure of War, and by representatives OF
the other three petitioning countries
Mr.. Macdonald spoke. He thanked the
women for taking the trouble to show
the members of the conference how
strong public opinion is in the countries
they represent.
Mr.. Macdonald pointed out to his Wis
itors that one of the greatest problems
facing the conference was not only of
reducing the number of ships afloat,
but of reducing the programs and con-
templated projects, which he character
lied as most important"
Scrapping Of superfluous ships and
superfiuouS programs, he said, would
render superfluouS ain the minds of the
peoples of the nations portion of what
Is retained" and also serve to make the
feeling Of national security more gen.
eral.
. "The great problem is that Of peace
with security" he said.

CRIME
HELD mot 50 BAD
Police Commissioner Cites
Lack of Adequate Force
and Salaries.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, February 6.-Police Com
missioner William Russell does not re-
gard Chicago's present crime situation
as bad, when it is considered that the
police are not being paid and 5000
more men are needed to properly pro-
tect the community"
The commissioner commented last
night in connection with the seven
gang slayings and two gang attacks
within the last week.
BIames Prohibition.
He blamed lawlessness in Chicago,
"as in the Nation" on prohibition, ex-
planning that bootleggers and racketeers,
having no recourse to the established
law. settle their differences with guns
and bombs"
IT haven't heard of any decent per-
sons being killed." he said. LAS for
bombings, there have been two convic-
tions and IA arrests under States At
torney Swanson. and that's more than
there were for 20 years previous to his
incumbency.
I'VE can't stop bombings because the
victims refuse to cooperate with us.
Most of those people know, just as do
the hoodlum and gangster who IS shot
down, why they got it, but they won't
tell police"
Business Men Move.
Business men today were taking an
active interest in the effort to halt the
latest crime outbreak. The Lands
Award Employers Association an
nounced it had employed a law firm in
an attempt to bring to justice the men
who shot down Phillip H. Meagher,
a superintendent of construction, yes
terday while he was directing work in
the new lying-in hospital.
The shooting, done on land owned
by the University of Chicago, was at
tributed to labor troubles.
Samuel Madonna, who operated a
fruit store in a West Side building that
was bombed early this week, has been
booked on charges of murder and arson,
The body of Vito Russo was found in
the wreckage of the building. Police
believe Russo was hired by Madonna to
bomb the building and that he was the
victim of premature explosion. Ma
donia carried insurance on his stock,
police said.

he will contend, it is most necessary
for the defense Of the French coast
line.
The French position is that coast
defense guns are immobile and of short
range and therefore mobile submarines
are vitality necessary to protect ports
from attack. Another French arRl-
ment is that submarines are essential
to guard conveys and are more val
liable even than cruisers in this re-
Spect.
With this issue before it, next Tues
days plenary session promised to be
one of the outstanding sessions of the
conference. The nations will be
aligned about as follows: America and
Great Britain for total abolition of the
craft, France and Japan insistent upon
retention, while Italy probably will
adopt a rather non-committal attitude.
Italy is willing to abolish submarines
If France will do so, but insists that
Italians must have submersibleS II her
northern neighbors have them. Thus
the Italian action will be governed by
the French attitude.
The conference, sitting as q COM
mittee of the whole. went into session
this afternoon and continued the dis
cussion of the cruiser situation as out
lined in the French and British COM
promise proposal. A. ". Alexander.

COMPROMISE SEEN
ON JAPAN'S DEMAND
Cruiser Settlement on 66 2-3
Per Cent Ratio May Be
Made With U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 6.-Compromise
| settlement of Japan's demand for a
cruiser strength 70 per cent of that OF
Great Britain and the United States was
believed in usually well informed Ma
val Conference quarters today to be
| imminent.
1t was understood that the japanese
government might be willing to accept
at Sc % per cent ratio instead OF
10-10-7 demanded and that these fig
ureS now are being studied by delega-
tons from the three countries with like
lihood that there will be a final agree
ment at that level or thereabout.
simultaneously the submarine phase
of the naval limitation negotiations has
been brought sharply to the fore with
announcement that the five powers Will
, be given an. opportunity to state their
positions with regard to that class OF
craft at a plenary session Of the con-
ference at st. James Palace next Tues
day.
Almost over night it seemed that the
conference had traverSel the distances
from the general to the specific and that
the theory of disarmament and limita-
ton was being replaced with discussion
of putting the theory into practice.
Developments Heartening.
Tentative figures on three classes OF
warships, battleships, cruisers and sub
marines, have been advanced. They un-
doubtedly will be subject to revision, but
the appearance of the concrete in the
discussions has been heartening IN some
quarters.
In discussions of the Anglo-American
heavy-cruiser problem it was understood
today that the following tonnage fgureS
were being considered.
America-180,000 tons.
Great Britain-150, 900 tons.
Japan-120, 900 tons.
AT present Japan has cruiser ton
mage OF 108,4 400, comprising 10 heaXy
cruisers with two more under conStruc-
ton. or these four are 7,100.ton craft,
each mounted with six 8-inch guns.
These are the lightest heavy cruisers in
the World-unless the new German craft
be 1ncluded-and are considered real
feat of naval engineering.
II the suggested compromise per-
centage Is adopted Japan would have
the right to $4,000 tons additional IN
the cruiser category. 1t was expected,
however, that she would heed the coun-
try's economic program and would agree
not to build, or would not build to the
allowable limit unless necessary.
win Aid Adjustment.
1t was felt in the source from which
this information was obtained that this
prospective settlement, II effected,
would do much toward adjustment of
other conference problems. The total
cruiser tonnage of the five powers may
be reduced below the foregoing figures
with the Italian and French ratio be-'
