Washington Feb l8.-Archhishop Saiolh rc1ea's
and emphatically declares that the decision In tho
Bayonnc case, precisely set forth In tn" statement
furnished bv him 20 the press must he cal rei out pv
Bishop WiCcer More than this the Apostolic Dee
gate declines TO say He will not divnlGe Ei' in'en-
lions II his order to the Bishop Of Newark Is not faith
fully compiled with I'm reasonable time The sub
ject Is also which the friends OF the ApoN'ohc
Delegate at The Catholic University will not discuss
But both the Delegate and his advisers at the uni
versty positively sly that the potrtS OF the order
gwen to Bishop wiggcr were correctly stated IN the
article published In The Tribune on February a.
In spite Of these authoritative afrmaiions BISHOP
Wiggcr still insists that his construction although ex-
2ty reversing the order Of Mosignor Satoli Is cor
rect. Father Ahe. ,he pastor OF st. llcnryS Church
Bsyonne who present when the original oroer
was made. says without reservation that tn state
ment printed ALLEGING what the decision required shop
wigg~r ia do wa, not correct. Father Anne is quoted
as saying
aOf course mean that MonsiSnor SlttlI's decision
was in favor OF Bishop NiPger. That statement puT-
porting to give the decision teleGraphcd from WASH
ingon February neither Mon-gnor satolli nor BISHOP
Keanc fathcred now bishop NGgcr comes out In
statement, to which he attaches bis name. and In
which H. say, the decision /, opposite TO what me
Washington dispatches had led every one to believe.
That will show that the Bishop has won Inc case
II there had not been 50 much cquvoca'ion the real
decision would have been known lon- brio !; WAS
II Is known here that the very night the decision
NJ NonsIcnor Sa0ni Wa made Father Alnc came from
the university 70 The residence OF Washington priest
and told him tina; Bishop Wlggcr had been sustained
which fact would be clearly established when the
Bishops order made public.
To-day The Church News the Catholic newspaper
printed in Washington, which has never referred TO the
Wisger case before, prints statement from the highest
authority at the university, which says:
"Monsignor >atoli has repeatedly and emphaticaliy
declared that the decision involves the reop'lling OF
nt1
SUNDAYS and holy days. and the use of tie English
language alone Now, this decision l. approved 10y
Bishop Wigger and Father Anne everybody has cause TO
rejoice al thc happy ending Of the controversy.
This declaration was made on tho supposiiion that
Bishop Miggcr would certainly carry out Inc orueT Vi
the Apostolic Delegate. When 1t was pointed ou' 'hat
his construction was not the same As The one Mon
siuor satoIi had put upon hi, own decision, the
rc,Sy of Archbishop SatOlli'S adviser was that 'hc
BISHOP OF Newark does Io understand what the apps

FORE surprising in view Of all these facts 'ha' .o
controversy between the Apostolic Delegate ana us
