ST. PAUL, Jan 9. 9.-Archbishop Ireland
will not talk about the story that he had
foryarded charges to the Pops that
Archbishop Corrgan and others had or
gauizsd a conspiracy for the overthrow Of
Mgr. Satolli and hinselE However, Rev
DR.. John Conway, editor Of the North
western Chronicle" who stands nearest
Archbishop Ireland of all ecclesiastics 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;
''As TO the statement that Archbishop
Ireland has preferred charges in Rome,
there is no necessity for his doing so, be-
cause Rome's representative is here in the
person Of Archbishop Satolli. Moreover
he has just learned the clear evidence
upon which charges could be based "
New YoRk, Jan, 0-Ths story pri nted
in Chicago morning paper asserting 9
that Archbishop Ireland had preferred
charges against Archbishop Corrigan,
and that the charges, duly formulated,
were now on their way 20 Rome, ere
ated considerable excitement in Catholic
circles in this city.
Archbishop Corrigau 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
ters in America, and Of having had re-
course to methods unbacoming a Bishop
designed to discredit and disgrace Arch
bishop Ireland and Mgr SatOlli, the Papal
delegate to America.
These charges, the report says, will be
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 in the American hierarchy.
Their differences of opinion have been
matters of public rumor for years. Each
has very generally been considered as an
object Of the Popes favorable regard in
respect to the new American Cardinalate,
which it is said will be conferred at the
approaching jubilee. If Archbishop Corri-
gan be found guilty as charged, his fate
as we'll as the future of the great province
of New York, over which he has SO long
presided will become the object of eager
surmise. Should the charges fail the
consequences can scarcely be less serious
to Archbishop Ireland
Several priests in Archbishop Corrigan's S
diocese are also accused of aiding their
superior in the matter. Father Lavelle
is said to have written letters calling on
Catholics to join in a crusade ''tO warn
the Pope and force him to recall Mgr
SatolH."
