...Dallas meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Bishop James Cannon Jr. confounded his critics and won his church's forgiveness by confessing and emotionally repenting his stock gambling with a Manhattan "bucket shop" since exterminated by the law (TIME, June 16 et ante).

Naturally in Bucharest last week Ion's brother Vintila voted against proclamation of Carol as King (see above), but paradoxically Ion's son George Bratianu sided with Carol.
