The vote was 269 for reassign ment and 170 agdinst, or a ma jority of 99 votes for Bishop Can non, giving the bishop a pronoun ced victory over his opponents. Bishop Cannon’s face wreathed in smiles over the decision of the conference to, retain him as an active member of the college of bishops. ’ After the vote was announced he said he had no statement to make, that the conference had spoken and it was “their busi ness.” He occupied his accustom ed seat on the rostrum among his fellow bishops during the debate over his proposed superannuation which came up suddenly and de ferred the regular order of busi ness. The Cannon issue burst sudden ly into convention debate when the Episcopacy committee, headed by Dr. J. W. Perry, of Chatta nooga, Tenn, reported that it had passed favorably on the character of all bishops, including Bishop Cannon, but had left Bishop Can non off their list of Fecommenda tions for eontinuance of bishops in their present assignments.

At the same time, however, a force of detectives and secret po lice were investigating the activi ties at this fortified town near the Franco-German frontier of Captaie Forge of the French army, accus ed of having been Krauss’' accom plice. The army officer’'s lawyers de manded an immediate hearing for Forge. They declared it was “sus picous” that a new witness had been aligned against him just when French operatives were on the point of concluding he was not involved in the asserted plot. In anno%ncing the arrest of the officer Wednesday after they said Krauss had comnfessed Captain Forge sold him $6,500 worth of military seérets for Germany, poO lice revealed they had been ready to exonerate Forge of charges previously lodged against ~him the accusations were raised.

Special Squad of Ace Agents Mass Strength In Search for Qutlaw CHICAGO — (#) — The govern ment’'s ace man hunterg and police marksmen massed foreces in the Chicago area Thursday in a new drive to get John Dillinger, “dead or alive.” The discovery of a blood stain ed automobile—one of two or more cars the Dillinger mobsters appar ently used in their dash to liber ty from the Little Bohemia resort near Mercer, Wis., April 22, spur red the concentration. Police <Captain John Stege’s special “Dillinger squad,” compris ing the best marksmen of the po lice force, was under orders to comb all of the city’s underworld haunts for the elusive Indiana bad man. There are forty men in the squad. Blood Stains Found The blood - stained automobile was found late Wednesday; aband oned in a street on the north side. The stains gave rise again to 'the belief that one of the Dillinger bang had been badly hurt at one time or another after their flight from the resort near where a fed eral agent and a civilian were shot to death. 2 The car was stolen from Roy Francis of South St. Paul, Minn, on April 23—the day after the bat tle of Little Bohemia, after three men riding in a coupe and believed to bhe Dillinger gangsters, were gighted by deputy sheriffy at Hastings, Minn.

HEFLIN GOMES LAST IN THREE MIAN RAGE Fiery Alabaman Slips on Comeback Trail, "“Will Investigate” BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —(#)— The slippery comeback trail, off which many a celebrity hag said to ob scurity, apparently has tripped another victim -— “Cotton Tom" Heflin, the fiery Alabaman who stormed through the halls of con gress for an unbroken span of 26 vears. Striving to unseat Representa tive Miles B, Allgood of the fifth Alabama distriet in a return to politics, the former senator Thurs day had only -an outside chance even to enter a run-off for the Democratic nomination, On the face of nearly complete returns, he was lagt in a three man race, With only five boxes missing, the count stood 13,2056 for Allgood; 11,035 for Major Joe Starneg of Guntergyille, and 10,398 for Hef lin. It was some two score years ago that Heflin began hig political career as mayor of his home town, LaFayette. Then from the state Jegislature and state offices he stepped into congress to serve tor‘ twenty-six congsecutive years, | Frequent Denounce There his voice was raised fre quently in denunciation of the “Wolves of Wall street,” Tammany hall, the liquor interests and the Roman Catholic church. : He won a large following and it was not until 1930 that he got his first major political setback. He opposed Alfred E. Smith for pres ident in 1928 and as a consequence was barred from the Democratic primary party in 1930 as a “bolter.” He campaigned as an independ ent only to be defeated by Sena tor John H. Bankhead. He#lin declared he had been “counted out” and flung charges of *“ballot thievery,” carrying his case to the genate where he was allowed the privilege of the floor and spoke for four hours. But it was to no avail He lost the fight. Ever since, however, thére have been echoes of Heflin's political battles and his entry in the con ressional race drew wide atten tion. Even as the late votes were counted, he refused to accept de feat, however. He announced Wed nesday that he would “Investigate” Tuesday’s election and that he was convinced he would be the candi date to face Allgood in the run off. Former Governor Bibb Graves was leading in the gubernatorial race in returns from 1,930 boxes out of 2,186 but he must enter a run-off primary with Frank Dixon, Birmingham attorney, who was second. Graves had 110,711 votes; Dixon 82,486 and Judge Leon Mc- Cord of Montgomery 64.798. Wed nesday night the total stood at 258,000, the heaviest vote, by 35,000 ever cast in a primary in Alabama.

Overruling the adjutant-general, the chief executive said: “There are no guards around the mansion and there won't be any.” The adjutant genera] was forced to yield. There were no guards at the mansion Wednesday night. “If I get a few minutes notice before anyone starts shooting,” the governor said, “I'll outrun any of them in spite of my game leg."
