Archbishop Corrigan Refuses to
Reply to Rumors.
THE VATICAN WATCHING AFFAIRS
A st. Paul Editor Doubts the Story Of
Charges Against Corrigan-Father
McGlynn's Disclaimer.

NEW YORK. Jan. s.-Archbishop Corrigan
refused today to discuss the published
statements that Archbishop Ireland had
sent charges 10 Rome accusing the New
York preiate of cons piring with others to
defeat Satollis mission and injure Arch
bishop Ireland. The archbishop said he
declined TO discuss any such questions in
the newspapers and that if any charges had
been preferred against him it would be
time enough to consider them when
he received official notice of their exist
ence. Father Lavelie dictated the follow
ing statement: with regard to the arti-
Gle, have this to say on my part at pres
ent: Archbishop Corrigan and the bish-
ops, 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 represent
ative, Mgr. Satoii.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. S.-Mgr. Satolli
remained in Washington City today, and
did not go to New York to take part in the
feast of st. Agnes at which, it is stated.
both he and Archbishop Corrigan would
ofliciate. Mgr. Satolli absolutely declined
TO say anything on the Corrigan-IreIand
publication, holding it would be improper
for him to do so.
ST. PAUL. Jan. s.-Archbishop Ireland
would not talk about the story that he
forwarded charges to the pope that Arch
bishop Corrigan and others had organized
q conspiracy for the overthrow of Mgr.
Satolll and himself. He read the story,
but would say nothing about it. How
ever Rev. DR.. John Conway, editor Of the
IL 90 l..
Archbishop Ireland of all ecclesiastics in
the Northwest. gave the following state
ment to the Associated Press:
The news from Chicago regarding the con-
spiracy against Archbishops Satolli and Ireland
was received in ST. Paul with surprise. Journal.
lists directly interested in church matters knew
by journalistic intuition that a conspiracy was
being Matched. The people at large heard rum
bling noises. but never dreamt that such plan
had been eoncocted. AS to the statement tina.
Archbishop Ireland had preferred charges in
Rome, there was no necessity for doing so, be-
cause Rome's representative is here in the per-
son of Archbishop Satolli. Moreover, he had
just learned that there was no clear evidence
from the papers upon which the charges could
be based.
Further than this DR.. Conway would
say nothing, but there is good reason for
believing that no such charges were form
ally preferred.
PORTLAND, Jan. s.-TSpecial. l-Arch-
bishop Gross preached a sermon today in
st. Mary's cathedral about the Ireland
Corrigan controversy. He said he had no
quarrel with Archbishop Ireland. He
simply disagreed with his plan for the
education of children.
ROME, Jan. S.-The Vatican has caused
inquiry to be made into the motives and
extent of the opposition to Satoli's mis-
sion. The pope holds absolutely to the
policy that ecclesiastical affairs in the
United States shall develop themselves
along moderate lines and in the spirit of
harmony with the institutions of the
United States. From official sources your
correspondent learns that all the arch
bishops who took part in the New York
conference affirmed the fourteen scholas-
tic proposals which Mgr. Satolli placed be-
fore them in the name of the pope.
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Cooper Union was
crowded tonight with people anxious to
hear DR.. McGlynn's Sunday address. Be-
fore beginning his remarks he defined his
own position with regard to the Union
Labor party and Anti-Poverty society,
and then said: at was kindly
and gracious act OF Archbishop Satolli
to rebuke the raking up of the old contro-
versy on the day of peace and good will.
l am very much touched by his charity
and am thankful for it, but justice re-
quires that / should state that the things
attributed to me by Archbishop Satolli
were never said by me. For instance, /
never called the pope can old woman"
nor IAN old lady" nor did / ever call him
poor old bag Of bones" swear it.
