BULLETIN.

JACKSON, Miss, May R.-
Following sharp debate and a pro-
longed parliamentary tangle, the
Quadrennial General Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, today decided to vote to-
morrow on limiting of the bishops
and the question of retiring any
bishop who Is found to be 80 un-
acceptable, inefficient, or secular
as to be no longer useful in his
work"
BY the Associated Press.
JACKSON, Miss, May 2.-Bishop
James NJ Cannon, jr., is on trial
again today-fighting custer from his
churchly office-as his friends and
foes at the General Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South mapped battle plans.
The nationally known crusader
against liquor, acquitted less than a
week ago in Washington of charges
of conspiracy to violate the corrupt
practices act, maintained silence on
the effort to remove him from the
College of Bishops.
Friends rallied to his support as
soon as word spread that the Com
mittee on Episcopacy had recon-
mended, by vote OF 43 to %, that
he be superannuated
Vigorous Fight Mapped.
Saying they would battle with him
ito the last ditch" proponents of the
retirement move indicated that if the
bishop did not voluntarily retire they
would carry the fight to the confer
ence floor and demand a secret ballot
on the recommendation.
The bishop received news of the
committee action with an expression
of surprise.
I have no statement to make" he
said. Even though had been in
formed that the committee had
taken such action, ! still would have
no statement"
Asked if he would fight the recon-
mendation, the bishop sternly re-
piled: ~
DO you know what mo- means2 !
have no statement"
The bishop. in a personal statement
published April 13 In the Christian
Advocate, official organ of the church,
anticipated the custer attempt, and
announced his intention to fight it.
The action is based, churchmen
said, on the church's discipline, which
provides that bishop may be super
animated on account of age or in
trinity, at his own request, or on
recommendation Of the Committee on
Episcopacy."
The Episcopacy Committee today
asked the church conference to amend
the discipline to allow for the retiring
of bishops for unacceptability and
inefficiency."
At the same time the committee
urged non-concurrence in a memorial
seeking to limit terms of bishops to
four or eight years, instead of electing
them to serve until they reach 72.
The latter subject had already been
set for special order on the conference
floor for tomorrow, but the confer
ence refused, after protracted debate,
to take up both proposed amendments
to the discipline at the same time.

Round after round of applause
swept the conference chamber yester-
day when the 69-year-old bishop
chairman of the church's Board on
Temperance and Social Service, ap-
peared to resume his battle against
liquor.
