REV. LAVELLE'S STATEMENT
An Intimation From st. Paul That No
Appeal to Rome Has Been Made
or Is Needed.
Special to THE MoRNINe CALL

ST. PAUL Mimi. Jan. s.-Archbishop
Ireland would not talk to-day about the
story that he had forwarded charges to the
Pope to the effect that Arcn bishop Corri-
gan and others had organized conspiracy
for the overthrow of Monsignor Satolli and
himself He read the story, hut would say
nothing about it. However, Rev. DR.. John
Conway, editor OF the Northwestern Chron-
icle, who stands nearest Archbishop Ireland
of all eeclesiastics in the Northwest, gave
the following statement to the Associated
Press:
The news from Chicago regarding a con-
sriracy against Monsignor Satolli and Arch
bishop Ireland was received in St. Paul
with surprise. Journalists directly inter-
ested in church matters knew by journal
istic intuition that conspiracy was being
hatched. The people at large heard
rumbling noises, but never dreamed that
such plan was being concocted As to the
statement that Archbishop Ireland had
preferred charges at Rome. there is no ne
cessity for his doing so, because the Pope'S
representative is here in the person of Mon
sgnor Sstoili. Moreover lie had just
learned of the clear evidence Of the conspiT-
acy from the papers.
Further than this DR.. Conway would say
nothing, but there is good reason for be-
lieving that no such charges have been
formally preferred.
NEW YORK, Jan. S-Archbishop COrri-
gan refused to-day to discuss the published
statement that Archbishop Ireland had sent
charges to Rome accusing the New York
prelate OF conspiring with others to defeat
Satoilrs mission to this country and to in
jure Archbishop Ireland. The Archbishop
declined to discuss any such questions in
the newspapers, and said that if any charges
had been preferred against him it would be
time enouRht to consider them when he
received official notice of their existence.
Father Lavelle dictated the following
statement: with regard TO the article
l have only this to say on my part at
present: Archbishop Corrgan and the
bishops, priests and people who believe
nith him in this controversy yield TO no
men in The world in point of respect and
loyalty to the Holy See and Its accepted
representative Monsignor Satolli."
ROME Jan. S.-The Vatican has caused
an inquiry to be made into the motives and
object Of the opposition TO the Satolli
mission. The Pope holds absolutely 10 the
policy that ecclesiastical affairs in the
United States shall develop themselves
along moderate lines Ind in n spirit of har-
mony with the institutions of the United
States. From official sources your CORE
spondent learns that all the Archbishops
who took part in the New York conference
affirmed the fourteen scholastic proposals
which Monsignor Satoli placed before them
in the name of the Pope.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 8.-MonsignOr Satoll
remained in Washington to-day and did
not 60 to New York to take part in the
feast Of St. Agnes, nj which. it was stated,
both he and Archbishop Corrigan would
Ofieiate. Monsignor Satolli absolutely de-
clined to say anything ON the Corrigan pub.
LEGATION, holding that il would be improper
for him to do so.
