CANNON'S REPORT
URGES lob RELIEF
Bishop Signs Methodist Plea
for U. S. Social Remedies
to Stem Distress.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FAYETTEVILLE Ark, August 49,
Immediate correction by the Govern
ment of "glaring inequalities and poign-
ant miseries" attending unemployment
was urged in the report of the chair
man of the Board of Temperance and
Social Welfare of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South, received here yes
terday for presentation to the board on
Monday
The report was signed by the COM
mittee chairman, Bishop James Can
non, IT., and embodies reports from Is
annual conferences in seven Southern
States.
I'm a social order based on Christian
principles" the report said, ut is I'M
endurable-indeed, unthinkable-tha q
part Of the country's population should
have sufficient food, clothing, shelter
and pleasure and that another part OF
the population, equally honest, equally
industrious and anxious to work, should
lack food, clothinn shelter and pleas
ures and be subject to anxiety, and ever
despair, because of inability to secure
employment and the necessities of life
for themselves and their families.
"Our Government must reach very
speedily solution of these pressing prob.
lens. so that there shall be a more
equal distribution Of the necessities and
the good things of life. No civilization
can be called Christian which permits
such glaring inequalities and poignant
miSeries."
The report urged better liquor Law
enforcement and reiterated the church's
stand that any effort by the liquor
traffic" to encourage violation of the
prohibition amendment would find the
Methodist Church batting against In
EQUITY on the side of personal and pub
lie Righteousness"

70 CANNON PROBE
WITNESSES CALLED
Hearing of New Testimony
Expected to End Campaign
Fund Inquiry.

More than 20 witnesses were sub
poenaed by the Senate Campaign Funds
Committee yesterday in move to con-
clude the long inquiry into what dis
position Bishop James Cannon, jr..
made of funds intrusted to him for use
in the 1928 presidential campaign in
Virginia.
Chairman Nye announced the hear
ings would be resumed on August II.
He expressed the view the witnesses
could be heard within a few days. and
he was confident their testimony would
bring the case to conclusion.
Cannon in Europe.
Bishop Cannon is in Europe, but
Senator Nye said his presence was not
necessary. He advised the Southern
Methodist churchman last May that
the hearings would be resumed in Au-
gust or early September.
Meanwhile Cannon's counsel here, in
response to a cable from the bishop,
appealed a decision of the District OF
to grant an Injunction hating the In
vestigation.
Vice President Curtis announced yes
terday that Senator Robinson, Re-
publican, Of Indiana, would succeed
Senator Patterson, Republican, of Mis-
souri,, as a committee member. Pat
terson sought to resign last Spring be-
cause of other business. With the
committee about to resume work, he
again asked to be relieved and Mr..
Curtis acted.
Results UndiscIosed.
Chairman Nye made no predictions
as to what the committee expected to
learn at its coming session, but he did
make it plain the committee intended
to conclude its inquiry before the
statute of limitations goes into effect
next month barring prosecutions.
The inquiry resulted from charges by
Representative Tinkham, Republican, of
Massachusetts,, that Bishop Cannon
failed to account, as required by law,
for all of the 800, which E. G..
Jameson, New York flnancier, has testi-
fed he gave to the churchman as chair
man of the Virginia Anti-Smith Com
mittee.

Artificial Scent Gives Garbage
Dumps and Ponds Sweet
Aroma.

Garbage dumps. swamps. stagnant
pools and other evil-smelling places
need no longer offend sensitive nostrils.
Such sources Of noxious odors are now
being nullifled by an application Of syn
thetic scents.
Recently q lake of considerable size at
the French Colonial Exposition at Paris
was perfumed with synthetic scents.
Unpleasant odors which arose from the
lake offended visitors to the exposition
until the entire body of water was scent
ed. The scent was applied with q ma
chine which looks like dust eater and
which Is driven by o gasoline pump.
Since the lake is artificial. and is
being constantly supplied with water. It
was easy to change the perfume daily at
its source. Occupants OF gondolas which
drift over the surface were able to enjoy
the fragrance OF rose one evening and
the perfume Of lilacs the next.

OBLIGATIONS HELD
SACRED BY YOUNG
Financial Expert Addresses
st. Lawrence U. Grad
yates on Performance.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CANTON, N. Y. August ls.-"The
sanctity Of obligations and the Inn
portance of punctual performance"
were emphasized by Owen D. Young,
industrialist and financial expert, in an
address here yesterday.
Gold is only a partial cover, less
than 10 per cent of the outstanding
currencies and credit, promises of men
being back of 30 per cent" he said.
Political parties throughout the world
have q more or less prevalent habit OF
treating lightly the obligations which
may have been entered into by their
government. Whether a person or
country should undertake obligations Is
debatable. Whether they should per-
form them, once undertaken. Is not.
If they are impossible of performance
they should be revised, but they should
never be defaulted"
He urged the Is Summer graduates
of st. Lawrence University, to whom
the address was delivered, to continue
study of what are obi. ations in this
modern world and how to perform
them. "No diploma should be granted
until men and women know something
more about the area of their obliga-
tions in life and something more shout

He pictured America as the great
creditor Nation of the world, trustee Of
40 per cent of the worlds gold supply
and with great reservoirs of credit.
How 1t shall be used for the benefit
of the people and so as to create and
maintain stability in the worlds ex-
changes, so this interdependent eco
nomic life of all nations shall go on
more prosperously, he said, is one Of
the problems graduates must answer.
The revival of the silver question Is
due, he asserted, but this time as an
international one.
To-day we are faced In this country
with larger number of vital problems
than has ever been presented to one
nation" said Mr.. Young. 1--WE have
serious domestic problems, we have I'M
portant foreign ones. Many of them
must be answered, and answered soon.
You must help. Are you prepared?

DISEASES OF FISH
TOLD OVER RADIO
Ailments in Many Cases Similar
to Those Found in Higher AMI
mails, Expert Declares.

With suitable notifications required
by their own peculiarities, fish are sub
ject to the diseases and troubles which
affect the higher animals, and even
humans. declared Milton c. James, as
sistant chief of the division Of fish cul-
ture of the United States Bureau Of
Fisheries, in his radio address Thursday
over station WMAL for Rod and Stream
Of The washington Star.
Mr.. James took as mis- subject why
DO Fish Die?" and told his audience
that trout and salmon are subject to a
form of blood poisoning which is highly
fatal. Kidney troubles akin to Brtght'S
disease affect bass and others. Worms
are particularly abundant, but not so
troublesome to fish. A reasonable esti-
mate would be that possibly rs per
cent of all fish caught are affected to
some degree with parasites, particularly
worms.
Parasites are merely guests, however,
IN most cases and do not harm their
host. Mr.. James said. Occasionally they
become particularly abundant, and the
Bureau of Fisheries or some State Con-
Servation Department receives notice OF
wagonloads of dead fish. The angler
need give himself no concern about the
presence Of any possible disease in fsh
which may fall victim to his skill. In
the first place, he said. fish which has
ambition and pep enough to bite on
some Of the bats dangied before it is
probably in first-ciass condition and ac-
tually looking for fight. In the sec
und place with one or two possible ex-
ceptions, IL appears entirely impossible
that afiy fish disease or ailment or par
asite can be transmitted to human be-
lngs or, in fact, any warm-blooded
animal.
