DANIELS PROTESTS
CANNON ASSERTION
Letter Tells Senator Walsh
He Was Opposed to
M. {. Approval.
Rx the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, N. c., June 5.--Josephus
Daniels, Raleigh publisher and former
Secretary of the Navy, made public yes
terday a letter which he addressed to
United States Senator Thomas j.
Walsh, member of the Senate lobby
committee, protesting a statement OF
Bishop James Cannon, jr., before the
Mr.. Daniels letter to Senator Walsh
follows.
"The papers state that in his testi-
mony before your committee yesterday
Bishop Cannon read a report from the
temperance committee of the General
Conference of the Methodist Church
at Dallas which, he explained, was sub
mitted by its chairman, Hon. Josephus
Daniels
Opposition Well known.
Nobody knows better than Bishop
Cannon that in the committee on tenn
perance I opposed the Endorsement OF
that portion of the report approving his
actions before it was reported to the
conference When the report was pre-
sented by me, as chairman Of the COM
mittee, to the General Conference, /
stated to the conference that strongly
dissented from a portion of the report.
and it was we'll known that my dissent
was mainly to Bishop Cannons &C
tons.
Appointment Opposition.
HE also knows that, along with
about one-third of the members OF the
conference. I went on record against
his appointment on the temperance
board, on the ground that his engaging
in bucket shop gambling would be q
severe blow to the cause Of prohibition.
It Is also known that and others filed
charges against Bishop Cannon, on
bucket shop transactions and that the
committee on episcopacy ordered a trial
and that the trial was stayed only when
he admitted his wrong declared his re-
pentance and promised never to DO so
again and asked for pardon.
"If Bishop Cannon had not used my
name in his statements I would not feel
called upon to say anything about the
hearings before your committee. I can
not, however, permit the record, even
theoretically, to convey the impression
that approved the selection Of Bishop
Cannon or Of his actions"

The Graf made little excursion over
San Lucar Barrameda in order to pass
over the home of the Infanta Alfonso

The fact that the Graf Zeppelin
avoided Lisbon caused great disappoint'

The huge ship, however, passed ut q

then back home. The crossing Of the
Atlantic had taken the Graf q little
more than IS hours. The ship made
excellent time in the first half, but
struck rather unfavorable weather con.
ditions as she approached the coast Of
Europe.
While It was stormy and rainy yes

LIQUOR BUYERS ARE GUITIER
THAN MAKERS, SHEPPARD HOLDS
Ashurs Can't See How Vets Can Get Satisfaction Under
Supreme Court Decision.

Senator Sheppard called it 'grotesque
today to consider liquor buyers inno-
cent Of law violation.
The Supreme Court has held them
innocent under present law, and the
Texas Senator was advocating judiciary
committee approval of his bill to make
buyers as guilty as bootleggers.
Sheppard testified press comments on
the Supreme Court decision have been
to the affect that purchasers could now
feel a profound relief and proceed TO
buy Intoxicating liquor with impunity."
"The whole structure Of liquor law
lessness rests upon the buyer of Illicit
liquor" he continued Without him,

Although the committee may act,
there is little prospect of Senate &C.
ton on Sheppard's bill at this session.
Judiciary committee members who
heard the Texas dry, included Steiwer
of oregon, Waterman of Colorado and
AshurSt of Arizona.
Waterman commented: There is no
possibility of any question Of constitu-
tional power to prohibit the purchase of
liquor. The only thing is whether Con-
gress should legislate It."
Ashurst observed he could not see
how the vets could get any satisfac-
ton from the Supreme Court decision.
The only way any one could make q
purchase with IMMUNITY, under it" he
added, would be to sit in an ONCE and
nave some one he had never before talk
ed with, walk In and pour liquor down
his throat and then pay him for IT,"
