In tho eyes of his church. Bishop
James Cannon Jr., of Washington,
i. C, today stood vindicated of all
charges of gambling in stocks and
of undue political activities In the
presidential campaign.
His campaign against Alfred K.
Smith, democratic nominee for
president, was vindicated several
days ago. Last night tho commit
tee on episcopacy ot the quadren
nial general conference, Methodist

his name of blame in the stock
market charges. ' -

tee, headed by l P. Culver of Cis
co and comprised of the leading
delegates from each conference in
the church, overruled tuo accusa

Daniels of Italeighl, N. c, and a
score of other laymen whose num.
ber included nt least two state su
preme court judges. '
Tho three leading figures In th
controversy Cannon, I inniels. and
Klt.hugh today promised lo have
muro to say on the matter. ;
Cannon said ho would make a
statement, perhaps, when thu com
mittee action was formally re
ported to thu conference. I hiiilels
expressing ""surprise and astonish
ment" last night, was expected to
day to amplify that statement.
KiUhugh was preparing a state
ment which ho said would include
a list of the accusations against
Cannon, as well as later evidence
which the committee, had not con.
sidered because it was not avail
able when the first accusations
were filed.
