Makes a Statement.
ST. PAUL Jan. 9.-Archbishop Ireland
will not talk about the story that he had
forwarded charges to the Pope that
Archbishop Corrigan and others had Or
ganized conspiracy for the overthrow of
Mgr Satolli and himself However, Rev
DR.. John Conway, editor of the North
western Chronicle who stands nearest
Archbishop Ireland of all ecclesiastcs in
the Northwest, stated that such a con-
spiracy existed and severely scored the
persons and news papers alleged to be en-
gagged in it. He further said:
LAS to the statement that Archbishop
Ireland has preferred charges in Rome,
| there is no necessity for his doing So be-
| cause Rome's repre- sentative is here in the
person of Archbishop Satolli. Moreover
he has just learned the clear evidence
npon which charges could be based! "
New York, Jan. 9.-The story prl nted
| in a Chicago morning paper asserting
that Archbishop Ireland had preferred
charges against Archbishop Corrigan,
and that the charges, duly formulated,
were now on their way to Rome, Gre
ated considerable excitement in Catholic
| circles in this city.
| Archbishop Corrigan absolutely refuses
| to say anything regarding the matter,
except that if the charges have been made
he will wait until he receives official
| notice and then it will be time enough to
| speak.
| The New York Archbishop, it is said,
| is accused by Archbishop Ireland of hay
| ing engaged in an unlawful conspiracy
| to weaken or undo the effect of the
| Pope's decisions in respect to Church mat
| tiers in America, and of having had re-
| course to methods unbecoming a Bishop,
| designed to discredit and disgrace Arch
bishop Ireland and Mgr. Satolh, the Papal
| delegate to America.
These charges, the report says, will b.
presented to the highest tribunal in the
Roman Catholic Church. The tribunal
has power to pass upon the accusations
and to fix the punishment of the accused
if they be sustained. The whole world
will eagerly await the decision, for both
prelates, the accuSer and the accused,
have long filled the most conspicuous
positions i'll the American hierarchy.
Their differences of opinion have beer
matters of public rumor for years. EacE
has very generally been considered as al
object of the Pope's favorable regard il
, respect to the new American Cardinalate
which it is said. will be conferred at the
approaching jubilee. If Archbishop CORR
gan be found guilty as charged, his fate
as well as the future of the great province
of New York, over which he has so long
presided, will become the object of cage
surmise. Should the charges fail, tn
consequences can scarcely be less seriou.
to Archbishop Ireland
Several priests in Archbishop Corrigan'
diocese are also accused of aiding thei
superior in the matter. Father Lavell
is said to have written letters calling OF
Catholics to join in crusade ''to war;
the Pope and force him to recall Mgr
Satolli."
