In Reputation Of a false and scurri
lousy expressed statement in the Salt
Lake Herald, to the effect that Bishop
Machebmuf. of De,.Ter, Col. and his
coadjutor, Bishop Lsajs, were unjust in
their treatment of the Irish priests of
their diocese. said Irish priests have
published protest. in which they de-
clare that the charges made by this
disreputable writer is like every other
sentence of this article, y texture of
lies and malice. The assure both
bishops of their profound respect and
esteem.
Rev. Father Clifford, of Dalton, Ga ).
is authority for the statement that a
new Southern diocese will soon be Gre
ated, that the Holy Father has ordered
q REIMBURSEMENT that will change the
present status and result in the forma-
ton OF an additional see. 1t is expect
ed that the new diocese will comprise
Northern Alabama, North Georgia,
and East and Middle Tennessee. 1t
will probably include the cities of Knox
vile, and Chattanooga in Tennessee,
Birmingham and Huntsville in Ala
bama and Atlanta in Georgia. 1t is
understood the REIMBURSEMENT will go
into effect at all early day and a bishop
be appointed. ~,
