Presbyterians Hiss Cannon At Assembly Session
Atlantic City May 25. Speaker Cannon was hissed at the Presbyterian General Assembly meeting over Bennet’s bill to create a federal commission to investigate liquor. The assembly endorsed the measure while opposing the Speaker’s influence on committee appointments. A resolution to punish white slave trafficking as murder earned strong support, and the Synod of New York heresy case continued. Bolton Hall criticized the church’s focus on prizefighting over pressing social issues.
