Rembert G. Smith, South- ern Methodist preacher here, today disclosed charges he had made against four bishopsof the church be- cause of “unwarranted political ac- tivities in 1928. He charged Bishop James Cannon, Jr., Edwin D. Mouzon and John M. Moore, with violation of a church rule laid down in Baltimore in 1784 providing equal political rights for Roman Catholic citizens in line with the Constitution of the United States.

He charged that Bishop Cannon during the 1928 presidential campaign worked on an expense account paid by “northern Republicans.” Used Prohibition Alibi His statement follows in part: “In 1928 Bishops Cannon, Mouzon, Moore and Dubose went into aggres- sive political activity in the interest party, alleging that this was required in order to defend prohibition. “If the general conference passes the official character of these four bishops with no comment or action as to their political campaign in 1928 in the interest of the Republican party this will be an endorsement by that body. of the Republican party. and particularly its. record since 1928 as to enforcement of the 18th amend- ment.

Was Church Innovation “This was an incendiary innovation and a nullification of the constitution of American Methodism which since the Christmas conference in Balti- more in 1784 has approved giving equal political rights to Roman Cath- olic citizens as provided in the consti- tution of the United States.” Smith cited news reports and claimed to haye had personal obser- vation of Bishop Cannon's actions at at least one meeting which he said tefuted the bishop's claim in Dallas where the general conference is be- ing held that his actions in 1928 were those of a private citizen and not as 18 PERGONG KILLED INPLANT NPLOO St. Joseph, Mo., May 10.—()—Res- cue workers today had deserted the ruins of a six-story building of the Armour Packing company, satisfied that 16 bodies taken from the debris and the death of two persons in a hos- pital comprised the death toll of @ terrific explosion that wrecked the structure Thursday.
