ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 8.-Archbishop
Ireland would not talk today about the
story that he had forwarded charges to
the pope that Archbishop Corrigan and
others had organized conspiracy for
the overthrow of Monsignor Satolli and
himself. He read the story but would
say nothing about it. However, Rev.
John Conway, editor of the Northwest
ern Chronicle, who stands nearest to
Archbishop Ireland of all the ecclesiastcs
in the northwest, gave the following
statement to the Associated Press:
"The news from Chicago regarding a
conspiracy against Archbishops Satolli
and Ireland was received in St. Paul
with surprise. Journalists directly in
terested in church matters knew by
journalistic intuition that conspiracy
was being Matched. The people at large
heard rumbling noises but never dreamt
that such plan was being concocted.
As to the statement that Archbishop
Ireland has preferred charges in Rome,
there is no necessity for doing 30, be-
cause Rome has q representative here
in the person of Archbishop Satolii;
moreover, he has just learned clear evil
dence from papers upon which charges
could be based"
Further than this DIR. Conway would
say nothing, but there is good reaeon for
believing that no such charges have
been formally preferred.
THE ALLEGED CHARGES.
Archbishop Irsland's charges against
Archbishop Corrigan, according to a
Chicago dispatch, are as follows:
Formal charges of the gravest char
acter have been preferred against the
rigan, Roman Catholic archbishop of
New York, by brother prelate. His
grace of New York is accused by the
Most Reverend John Ireland, arch
bishop of St. Paul, of having engaged in
an unlawful conspiracy to weaken or
undo the effect of the pope's decisions
in respect to church matters in America,
and having had recourse to methods un-
becoming bishop, and designed to dis
credit and disgrace Archbishop Ireland
and Monsignor Satolli. These charges,
duly formulated, are now on the way to
IsOIuos WuoI4> bucy Will UC piCcOAtcu w
the highest tribunal in the Roman
Catholic church. That tribunal has
power to pass upon the accusations and
they be sustained.
If Archbishop Corrigan be found
guilty, as charged, his fate as well as
the future of the great province of New
York, over which he has so long presid-
nA ah. 49,
mise. Should the charges fail. the con-
sequences can scarcely be less serious to
Archbishop Ireland; nor will the conse-
provinces of New York and st. Paul.
The differences between Archbishop
Ireland and Archbishop Corrigan are OF
bishop Corrigan, in the conspiracy now
tourage, notably Father Michael Joseph
Lavelle, rector of st. Patrick's cathedral,
who is especially named by Archbishop
Father Gerardo Ferante, Archbishop
Corrigan's Italian secretary. 1t is said

Archbishop Corrigan's accusers, they
prove the existence of conspiracy OF
which the arch episcopal residence in
Madison avenue is the center, and
which extended in numerous ramifica-
tions throughout America, into France
and Italy, and even to the shadow OF St.
Peters itself.
ANTI-lRELAND PROPAGANDA.
q Continuing, the article says: Upon
the arrival of Monsignor Satolli it was for
q time supposed that the differences be-
tween Archbishops Ireland and Corri-
gan we're ended. The friends of Arch
bishop Ireland felt elated. Then came
rumblings of dissent from the Corrigan
faction. An anonymous letter, with dis
signor Satolli, was published in the
daily press. The storm of indignation
reached the climax when Father
McGiynn was restored, 1t was soon
learned, so the article says, that Arch
bishop Corrigan was sending anonymous
letters to be published in Chicago, criti-
cising Archbishop Ireland and his views.
The letters were dated Philadelphia. 1t
