along moderate lines and in a spirit of
harmony with institutions Of the United
States From official sources your corre-
spondent learns that all Archbishops who
took part in the New York conference
affirmed fourteen scholastic proposals

the name of the Pope.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Monsignor Sa-
TOLL remained in Washington TODAY and
did not go to New York to take part in
the feast Of st. Agnes, at which it was
stated that both he and Archbishop Cor
rigan would officiate. Mgr. Satolli alb
soIutely declined to say anything on the
Corrlgan publication, holding that it
would be improper for him to do So.
NO CHARGES YET PREFERRED.
ST. PAUL (Minn.), Jan. S.-Archbisbop
Ireland would not talk to-day about the
story that he forwarded charges to the
Pope against Archbishop Corrigan and
others for an organized conspiracy for the
overthrow of Mgr. Satolli and himself.
He read the story, but would say nothing
about it. However, Rev. Dr. John Con-
way, editor of the Northwestern Chronicle,
who stands nearest Archbishop Ireland
Of all ecclesiastics in the Northwest. gave
the following statement to the Associated
Press:
1.-The news from Chicago regarding the
conspiracy against Monsignor Satolli and
Archbishop Ireland was received in st.
Paul with surprise. Journalists directly
interested in church matters knew by
Journalistic intuition that conspiracy
was being Matched. The people at large
heard the rumbIing noises, but never
dreamed that such plan was concocted.
As to the statement that Archbishop Ire
land has preferred charges at Rome. there
| is no necessity for doing so, because the
Vatican has representative here in the
person of Monsignor Satolli. Moreover.
he has just learned clear evidence from
papers upon which charges could be
| based"
Further than this DR.. Conway would
| say nothing, but there is good reason for
believing that no such charges have been
| formally prepared.
ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN REFUSES TO TALK
New YORK, Jan. S.-Archbishop Cor
rigan refused to-day to discuss the pub
lished statement that Archbishop Ireland
had sent charges to Rome accusing the
New York prelate of conspiring with
others to defeat Satollis mission 70 this
country and injure Archbishop Ireland.
The Archbishop said he declined to discuss
any such questions in the newspapers,
and that ii any charges had been pre-
ferred against him it would be time
enough to consider them when he re-
ceived official notice of their existence.
Father LayeIIe dictated the following
statement
with regard to the article, 1 have Only
this to say on my part at present: Arch
bishop Corrigan and the Bishops, priests
and people who believe with 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.
Mgr. SatolIi."
The matter referred to above was in
relation to an article published in the
Chicago Sun that formal charges Of the
gravest character have been preferred
against the Most Rev. Michael Augustine
Corrigan, Roman Catholic Archbishop of
New York, by a brother prelate. His
Grace of New York is accused bv the
Most Rev. John Ireland, Archbishop of
st. Paul, OF having engaged in an unlaw-
full conspiracy to weaken or undo the
effect OF the Pope's decisions in respect to
church matters in America, and of
having had recourse to methods un-
becoming a Bishop and designed
to discredit and disgrace Arch
bishop Ireland and Monsignor Satolli.
The partners of Archbishop Corrigan in
he conspiracy are alleged to be the priests
in his immediate encourage, notably
Father Michael Joseph LavelIe, rector of
st. Patrick's Cathedral, who is especially
named by Archbishop Ireland as con-
spirator, and possibly Father Cerardo
Frante, Archbishop Corrigan's Italian
Secretary. 1t is said also that other priests
| are involved. As regards Archbishop
Corrigan, there is said to be documentary
evidence which will be produced against
the distinguished prelate. II the docu-
ments are interpreted Alright by Arch
| bishop Corrigan's accusers, they provo
the existence ofa conspiracy Of which the
Archiepiscopal residence on Madison
avenue was the center, and which ex-
tended in numerous ramilcations
| throughout America, into France aud
Italy, and even to the shadow Of St.
Peters itselfl
