Archbishop Corrigan Charged With
Conspiracy.
Archbishop Ireiand's Near Friend Talks
Very PoinfedIy-The Vatican Said
to Have Ordered an In
quiry.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. Archbishop
Ireland would not talk about the story
that he had forwarded charges to the
pope that Arch bishop Corrigan and
others had organized conspiracy for
the overthrow of Monsignor Satoli and
himself He had read the story but
would say nothing about it However,
Rev. DIR. John Conway, editor of the
Northwestern Chronicle, who stands
nearest Archbishop Ireland of ali eccle-
siasts in the northwest had been unable
to get away on his trip to England in
the interest of the new Hill Catholic
college here and last evening he gave
the following to the Associated press:
s'The news from Chicago regarding
conspiracy against Archbishops Satolli
and Ireland has been received in St.
Paul with much surprise. Many will
doubtless be astonished at it Most
people will be except the conspirators
themselves and those who follow eccle-
siastical questions very closely. Jour
nalists who are directly interested in
church matters knew by journalistic in
tuition that a conspiracy was being
Matched. The people at large heard
umbling noises, but they never dreamed
such q plot was concocted. The libelous
pamphlet, written by Archbishop Corri-
gan's Italian secretary: the illusions OF
Miss Fades. garrulous old maid, who
is Roman correspondent of the New
York Catholic News; the dispatches pur-
porting to have come from Boston and
other cities outside of New York, yet
all having the same purpose: the pleth-
ora of anonymous letters published in
the New York Sun and other papers,
pointed clearly to the existence of
conspiracy against the representa- ives
of the holy father.
Mgr. Satolli is here for more pur-
poses than the settlement of ecclesias-
teal questions He is the represen ia
tive of Pope Leo at the Column bian
exposition. As such the most cordial
courtesies were extended to him on his
arrival III the United States. America
was naturally grateful to the pope for
his practical interest in the Columbian
exposition, and her gratitude was
naturally deepened by the holy fathers
unprecedented act of sending over a
Vatican exhibit. Now, the United
States does not mean to allow any
body to insult her guests and
this country resents the gratui-
touS announcement offered by
anonymous conspirators to one who is
at present the recipient of her hospital
ity. It is not pleasant to have to speak
strongly against anyone; it is decidedly
disagreeable to be plain spoken against
few individuals who happen to be
mem berS of ones own church. If these
! few conspirators do not keep quiet l see
! nothing left except a choice between
| locking them up in a lunatic asylum or
suppressing them as a public nuisance.
| Il have just seen the Chicago Post.
! AS to the statement that rchbishop
Ireland has preferred charges in Rome,
| there is no necessity for his doing SO,
| because Rome's represen tative is here,
in the person of Archbishop Satolli.
Moreover. he has just learned the clear
| evidence from the Post upon which
charges could be based
Further than this statement from DIR.
| Conway, nothing could be had. but
| there is good reason for believing that
no such charges have been formally
| preferred.
| AN INQUIRY ORDERED.
| ROME. JAN 9-The vatican has
caused an inquiry to be made into the
entente of the opposition to the Satolli
mission. The pope holds absolutely to
| his policy that ecclesiastical affairs in
selves along moderate lines and in
! spirit of harmony with the institutions
of the United States From official
sources the correspondent learns that
all the archbishops who took part in
the New York conference have affirmed
the fourteen scholastic proposals which
Mgr. SatoIli placed before them in the
name of the pope.
| MGIYNN Will. GO TO ROME.
New YORK, Jan. 9.-Dr. Edward Nc
Glynn will go to Rome. This state
ment is authoritative and bears out the
announcement made at the time his
suspension was removed by Mgr. Sa-
TOLL This visit will be made within a
few weeks. This means that the res
| toration of his priestly functions by the
papal ALLOCATE was in the nature OF a
compromise.
