Committee Takes Action To Retire Bishop Cannon o Conference Episcopal Body Votes 43 to 28 to Recom mend Superannuation BISHOP QHEERED AS HE SUBMITS REPORTS Jackson, Miss., May 1.?Hie long reported move In the Methodist EJpiscopal Church, South, to retire militant Bishop James Cannon, Jr., at this time, tour years ahead ol his automatic retirement under the, age-limit rule, came to a head today.! Almost simultaneously with a thunderous ovation accorded the veteran dry crusader on the floor of' the church's general conference, in drennlal session here, members Muadr ?t the committee on episcopacy dis IRosed that the committee had re commended his superannuation by a vote of 43 to 28. --T The bishop received the news JOt j the committee action with an ex pression of surprise. "I" have no statement to make," he said. "Even though I had been informed that the committee had taken such action, I still wuold have no statement." Asked if he would fight the re commendation. the bishop sternly replied: "Do you know what 'no' means? I have no statement." Word Spreads. Word^of the vote spread among the delegates fast on the heels of Bishop Cannon's first appearance on the speaking stand, where, head of the important church board on temperance and social service, he called on Methodism to fall in behind a campaign for a new fed eral prohibition law and challenged the church to make the wet and dry issue a test for every candidate seeking election to the national congress. Round after round of sustained applause "swept the conference hall as he came forward and explained that his appearance at the confer ence had been "unavoidably delay ed." He otherwise made no refer ence to his trial in Washington, which was under way when the conference opened and which re sulted in his acquittal on charge of conspiracy to violate the corrupt practices ? act in connection with anti-Smith activities in 1928. '^Pl Speaking with characteristic vigor, the 69-year-old bishop told the con ference in his temperance report today that he blamed "the down fall of prohibition on the shocking failure of the Federal Government to enforce the prohibition law, lack of State cooperation, the Catholic helrarchy and the wet press."

Beam at Bethel Hill was destroyed by fire on last Thursday morning, also prac tically all ,of the furniture and household effects. The origin of the fire is undetermined, as the roof was ablaze when first discovered. Mrs. Beam makes her home in Roxbero but each summer she opens her home at Bethel Hill and her children make it a gathering place for the summer months. Just the day of the fire Mrs. Beam had mov ed some of her things and was mak ing preparations for the gathering of her children. We have not heard what insurance was carried on the building and contents, but certain ly nothing like the value, for there were many things in the nature of keepsakes which cannot be valued in dollars and cents.

IS FACING Ambassador To Mexico, Re turning Home For Vacation, Says Trio of Courses Open Atlanta, April 28.?Josephus Dan iels, ambassador to Mexico return ing home for a vacation, says the United States today has the choice of only three possible economic courses "We must either stick by the new deal, or go back to the old deal that -put us in the depression or accept a raw deal at the hands of the opponents of the new deal," he said. The ambassador and Mrs. Daniels passed through Atlanta last night on their way to Raleigh, N. C., for a five-weeks rest. Daniels referred to a conversation with a fellow passenger on the train, a hardware merchant who was criticizing the new deal. "I asked him how his business compared with the same period a year ago," Daniels 3$id, "and he admitted it had increased 88 per cent. I told him that anything that would increase my business 8a per cent was all right with me, ev?n though there were a few minor points I didn't agree with." The ambassador was secretary oi the navy during the Wilson admin istration and President Roosevelt was then assistant secretary of the navy. Asked whether the President was showing results of the training he received while his assistant in the navy department, Daniels said, "that young man had plenty of training of his own. He didn't need any from me." President Roosevelt is extremely popular in Mexico and all over South America Daniels said. "They liked his phrase 'good neighbor' in stead of 'big brother' and the Pres ident's action in consulting with the Latin-American nations before act ing in the Cuban situation also pleased them a lot."

The speaker of the occasion was Dr. Brown, of Raleigh, who spoke tor about thirty minutes. His speech was full of good advice to the teachers, especially dwelling on the fact the most important thing for the teacher, as well as the.pupil, was to discover what the pupil was "1 t>est fitted to do in life, and the I thing said pupil was most interested in. It was a fine speech and was Snjoyed by every one present. It was the first time we had had the pleasure of attending, one of, these meetings, for the same reason ( that Dr. Brown said he had not attended one before?had not been invited.

SCHOOL SALARIES WILL BE DELAYED EOR LAST MONTH Detail Work Necessary For Relief Records To Defer Teachers' Pay SALARIES ALREADY DUE IN SOME LOCAL UNITS Payment of teachers' salaries for the eighth month will be late, it was disclosed recently. Time necessary for the unravell ing of red tape in the federal re lief oganizatlon in this State is the reason for the delay. Eventual pay ment is assured, however, since the , government made North Carolina a grant of $500,000 for that purpose. Some Already Overdue. Some schools already have closed and last-month salaries for those teachers already are overdue. All schools of the State will be closed on or before June 1. Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, State Relief administrator, said yesterday that while salaries in some counties I would be paid before June 1, sal : aries In most counties would not be paid until after that date. The federal money will be used only to pay teachers who have no income other than their salaries. The State will pay the remainder of the teachers, the total for the State being approximately $1,000,000. But", the State cannot pay out its share until it is known which teachers have been paid from fed eral funds. That will hold up pay ment to all teachers. Process of Selection The process for selection of teach ers to be paid with federal funds is: Each school superintendent in the State is to make up a list of teach ers who have no income other than their salaries. That list will be submitted to the local relief administrator for ap proval. ! TBS local administrator is to send it to the State Department of Edu cation. The list goes from there to the office of State relief administrator for final approval. Checks are to be sent out following that final ap proval. LeRoy Martin, executive secre tary to the State School Commis sion, said he had received numerous letters from teachers in schools al ready closed asking explanations for the delay in payment of the last month's salaires.
