Laymen Jury Would
 Have Convicted Him

There were assertions by some witnesses and persons interested in seeing Cannon suspended from the Southern Methodist church to the effect that jury of laymen would have reached a different conclusion on the same evidence.
 The inquiry now seems to have been a more complete triumph for Cannon than had been anticipated. For there is no procedure in the Methodist Episcopal church South whereby the bishop could resign if he wanted to. Any move of this sort would have to come before the general conference, and since the general conference does not meet un- til 1884, there is no way the bishop could be separated from his church position until then except by suspen- sion or death.

Auburn was the outstanding performer reaching 191, new high for the year and an ad- vance of 16 1-2 points over yester- days close. Special issues made the widest advances but standard is- sues participated at strong tone.
 Railroad stocks swung into line to confirm the upward movement on the stock exchange in the industrial list to-day They advanced 1 to 19 points while the other issues were up 1 to nearly 17 points.
 Sales at 1880 p. m. had crossed the three million mark with indica- tions that the days volume would exceed 5,0O0,000 shares. For a time the market was rushing along at an 8,000,O0O share pace.

Washington, February 10 - (UP) - Much of the secrecy thrown about the church inquiry which re- suited in the exonoration of Bishop James Cannon, Jr, was dispelled to- day when it was established that the deciding influence was a belief that the bishop was being persecuted py his enemies.
 It also was learned that Cannon does not intend to resign.
 Cannon's militant defense against charges of irregularities in his per sonal life was an unnecessary effort on his part. The committee of 12 church elders, who considered the evidence, in all probability would have found no necessity for forma ] church trial even if the bishop had uttered not single word in his own behalf.
 Shrewd questioning of witnesses. both by Cannon and the elders. put them and their evidence in an un- favorable light,

 EXPL0RERs' WORDS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug.
 21. R)-One of history's great stories of adventure-the explora-
 tion and conquest of the American far west-is being written in the words of the explorers and con-
