DAYS ago matters reached climax and
the most unreServed criticisms APP
peared. Letters expressing the same
sentiments appeared simultaneously In
widely separated cities with
Remarkable Coincidence.
and it became apparent that Archbishop
Ireland and Mgr. Satolli were the tar
gets of a skIllful and far reaching propa-
ganda. A few days ago a Roman
Catholic layman of Chicago received the
following letter from Archbishop Corri-
gan:
1852 Madison Avenue, New York
[Private] My Dear Sir: A friend OF
mine wishes to publish i'll the West an
article on the school question. L have
suggested a good medium OF public
ity, and would thank you TO see
that the article is published, as | am
sure in advance that the writer's views
are worth listening to. A friend OF
mine, bishop, has called my attention
to an article on the Saltwater affair
which appeared in the Church Herald
last October or September. Can you
hunt it up for me? With best Christmas
wishes, l am very faithfully yours,
IN. A. CoRRIGAN."
BY mail few days later the layman
received under cover OF envelope post
marked New York the article referred
to in Archbishop Corrigan's note. The
article was dated at Philadelphia,
and purported to be an interview
with an ecclesiastic OF that city. The
article is made up chiefly of excerpts
from the famous memorial OF Arch
bishop Ireland, which has never been
published, the authority for which

delphia ecclesiastlc is represented as
saying, THAT the English Catholics may
have been driven to accept treacher-
Gus anti-Catholic unrepublican system,
of which the English may have been

will accept no such system, and Arch
bishop ireland cannot force it Oh us.

Other letters have been received by
Chicago Iaymen from priests belonging
to Archbishop Corrigan's immediate
encourage, some of them being signed by
Father Michael Joseph Layelle, rector
of st. Patrick's cathedral. New York.
They appeal to the various persons ad-
dressed to use their influence to secure
the publication of articles protesting
against Archbishop Ireland's influence
at Rome and Mgr. Satolli's interference
in American affairs. The purpose con-
veyed in all these letters is thus con-
Veyed in one of them:
Battle cry of No force bill; no negro
domination" won the late election. we
must have such cry to alarm the pope,
and force him to recall Mgr. Satolli."
The Evidence
against Archbishop Corrigan is copy
of propaganda which discredits Arch
bishop Ireland and Mgr. Satolli, which
is summed up as:
l. Archbishop Corrigan's Philadel-
phia article.
2. Letters from priests in Archbishop
Corrigan's household to various lay men
who have access to the secular press,
appealing for help in all anti-Ireland
crusade.
8. The publication of an anti-Ireland
pamphlet written by Father Gerardo
Ferranti, Archbishop Corrlgan's Italian
secretary, and translated by Mgr. Con-
cillio, of Jersey City.
4. The publication of similar PAM
phlet ostensibly by an ecclesiastic at
Greenoble, France. but whose author
ship had been traced to New York.
5. The extraordinary activity of Miss
Ides, now resident in Rome, and said to
be an agent of Archbishop Corrigan.
She is said to have been instrumental in
sending numerous cables, which ap'
