A member of Chicago's Hammond -piano -manufacturing family, genteel, bespectacled Miss Tietjens was a World War I correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, wrote vers libre in the school and era of the late Amy Lowell.

Died. James Cannon Jr., 79, longtime Southern Methodist bishop, Anti-Saloon Leaguer, head of the World League against Alcoholism; of cerebral hemorrhage; in Chicago. An implacable crusader, the bishop waged a lifetime campaign against "Rome and rum." For a decade, Southern politicians trembled at his disapproval. His 1928 denunciations of Al Smith helped to turn the Solid South toward Herbert Hoover. When his own church accused him of dabbling in Wall Street bucket shops, he wept publicly and pleaded for Christian forgiveness. The church forgave him but his fame began to fade. His first wife, mother of his nine children, died in 1928. In 1930, in London, after a trip through the Holy Land, he married his secretary, Mrs. Helen McCallum.
