Bishop James Cannon, jr., is expected before the Senate lobby committee to- | morrow despite his statement question- ning the committee’s right to inquire into his expenditures in the Anti-Smith | campaign in 1928, “We have not hesitated to q\l'stlon other witnesses concerning political expenditures,” said Senator ~Waish, absence of Chairman in Arkansas. Asked if the committee had suthority | to compel Bishop Cannon to answer, Walsh sald: “We will cross that bridge when we come to it.” Bishop's Statement. Bishop Cannon of the Methodist Episcopal Church South yesterday ques- tioned the propriety of the eomrnmeeu inquiry into the 1928 campaign expendi- tures of the Virginia anti-Smith Dem- ocrats. Bishop Cannon defended his faflure to report the expenditures. He quoted from the record of the lobby committee | hearings & statement by Chairman| Caraway to Representative Tinkham Republican, lerhusfllfi that the committee was “not empowered to in- | quire into political expenditures: it is only those expenditures and activities that have to do with the influencing of‘ legislation or executive action tha are inquiring into, and not politi Cites Limit Set by Chairman. “In view of this correct definition of | the li mittee, uld Bishop Cannon, “l chairm: I was surprised when I learned, thlt Senator Caraway W campaign of 1925' The Virginia anti-Smith expendi- tures figured in testimony given the committee by E. C. Jameson of New York, a contributor. After Jameson testified Bishop Cannon sent from Dallas, Tex., where he was attending the conference of his church, a tele- am to Caraway saying he had han- led the funds personally, but had made no report on the Virginia disbursements, “as none was required by law.” Senator Caraway, the bishop recalled, eommenting on the telegnm, sald it was “difficult to interpret,” in the light of previous, testimony.

We have abundant evi- dence to the contrary. In many sec- tions, notably in the South and West, we now have practically full enforce- ment, with a large per cent of enforce- With only partial State aid, a small Federal establish- ment has demonstrated beyond doubt the enforceability of the prohibition laws. The wets deny this. They seek to becloud this by slandering the Pro- hibition Bureau. The average annual appropriations for | the prohibition unif d_bureau, Judge Britt said, has been $8,800,000, and the annual average number of fleld agents 2,000. There have been but an average of one agent to every 2,000 square miles of territory to police. Yet they have achieved the following marvelous accom- plishments: “They have made 602,000 arrests for ml itions of the prnhlhmnn laws. “They have located and destroyed 265,000 1llicit distilleries. my have seized and effected the condemnation and destruction of 10,- 000,000 gallons of uniawful liquors. “They have seized and reported for forfeiture 52,000 automobiles. “They have captured and secured the tnr{dmre of 1,400 boats. have seized and secured the forteiture of other lgmpenlel for viola- tion of the ition laws in the amount of $160,000,000. brought to a termination, 388,000 con- victions have been obtained, Mlm- 000 in fines have been imposed by t! courts, 43,000 years’ imprisonment hnve been imposed, 37,000 injunction cases have been instituted, 27,000 permanent injunctions have been obtained. “Taxes and penalties, forfeitures and other civil liabilities arising from these findings have been collected in the amount of $52,000,000.
