Bishop James Cannon, jr., re-elected head of the board of temperance and social service of the Methodist Episco- pal Church Soth, will eppear before the Senate lobby investigating commit- tee on June 3 to explain his part in the @ry lobby maintained here. In addition to determining what dry Bctivities Bishop Cannon is engaged in at present, the committee wishes to ask him specifically to explain charges made against him in connection with the 1928 campaign, particularly those Baving to do with campaign funds. Will Be Asked Regarding Funds. The Southern Bishop, who led the dry pevolt in the South two years ago, wil be asked specifically whether it is true that he instructed Edwin C. Jameson. New York insurance company head and Jawyer. to report contributions totaling $172,800 in a manmer contrary to ac- tual facts. Testifying before the committee on May 6, Mr. Jameson said he had given Bishop Cannon $65,300 for use in the dry campaign in Virginia, that more than $7,000 of this was a personal gift to the churchman, but that he made his report to the Senate so that it ap- red as though the entire amount had n split between two Virginia cam- paign committees. ‘When the committee started to sub- %oenu assoclates of Bishop Cannon in irginia to ask them about the Jame- son contributions, the bithop wired Senator T. H. Caraway, the chairman, from Texas, where he was attending the general meeting of his church, stat- ing that he had received and admin- dstered the entire $65,300. . “We oertainly want him to explain, then, why he told Mr., Jameson,to re- port it differently to the Senate cam mn fund investigating committee,” ator Caraway said. Bishop Cannon was supposed to ap- pear before the lobby committee sev- eral weeks ago, but was excused tempo- rarily while he attended the general sessions of his church. Senator Cara- way received a telegram from him yes- terday announcing that he would be ready to appear on June 3.
