DUCEY,S SUPPOSED CoNTUMACy.
Just How He Stands with the Archbishop
Now Is Not known.

Father Ducey's presence at the session Of the
Lexow yesterday caused much talk
among Catholic ecclesiastics. The general feel
ing was one of surprise. although 1t is not
known what communications have passed be-
tween the priest and the Archbishop since the
~latter's warning letter OF several weeks ago.
which was made public. 1t Is known
that a second letter was sent by Archbishop
Corrigan. and Father Duccy said yesterday that
he had notified his superior of his intention to
be present yesterday morning at the commit
tees session: but what these communication
contained could be learned from neither. Tho
assertion, therefore. that Father Ducey has
acted In open disobedience OF his superior's or
ders, however unreasonable he may consider
them. is not warranted by the known facts. The
Archbishop may have withdrawn or modified
his prohibition, or some compromise may have
been reached.
The Archbishop has denied himself to reporters
since the beginning of the controversy. Yester-
day It was said at his residence that he had gone
in the afternoon to Mount st. Vincent, and
wouid not be back until to-day. He makes reg
ular visits Of inspection TO the convent there.
Father Newey, who is acting secretary to the
said last night that he was confident that the
Archbishop. would not discuss the matter at
Of notification had been received he replied with
have no doubt If the letter was mailed it
has been received"
Father Ducey was equally communicative
last night.
81 have nothing whatever to say beyond what
I said in the court room this morning" was the
extent OF his remarks. What he said to n Sun
reporter there was: Monsieur OF Madison ave-
nue. will tell THE Sun"
A weli-known Catholic was asked last night
what would. be the probable outcome of Father
Ducey's action.
1T is impossible for me 10 say" he replied.
THE matter Is one entirely between Father
Ducey and the Archbishop, Outside OF those
two, none OF us knows any more about IL than
you do. II may be that Father Ducey sought
and obtained permission 10 be present at the
hearings. II lie has simply disregarded. the
Archbishop's commands, II Is not likely that the
isn't that Kind of man. IL Is impossible to say
what punishment might be meted out to Father
Ducey, because, unless all the correspondence Is
made public. we can't tell what the offence Is or
whether Father Ducey has committed any
offence at all"

Under Mr.. Grau's InstruetioA.


Nine. Nordica stepped right into a kettleful OF
hot water on her arrival here a few days ago

Of the most notable of the society's events.
Just who is TO blame for the breach is to be set

The Seidl Society arranged long before the ac-

Wagner concert next Monday night at the
Brooklyn Academy OF Music. Mime. Nordica
had been making a big success in Wagner roles
in Europe during the summer, and particularly
had scored several notable successes at the
very shrine OF Wagner music. Bayreuth, which
made her a desirable figure in a Wagner pro-
gramme. The Seidl Society opened negotiations
for her services for Dec. 10 early last September.
and on Sept. 81 received word of acceptance from
Nordica.
The engagement was made by Mrs. Laura c.
LAngiord, President OF the Seldl Society, with
Henry Wolfsohn. manager OF a musical agency
In this city. Mr.. Wolfsohn wrote to Mime.

vices for the Seidl Society on Dec. 10, and re-

LAnRfOrd, and the Seidl Society at once
went TO work and advertised in an es-
paclAlly extensive manner that Nordlca
would sing at its Wagner concert on Dec. 10. IL
has continued TO advertise the fact since. and
has. naturally, made IL OF especial prominence.

NORFOLK. Va, Dec. Judge Hughes OF the
United States Court to-day delivered an opinion
in the case of Day Clerk ID. b. Sayre OF the
United States receiving ship Franklin, who was
recently convicted by court martial OF en-
bezzling about $4,000 OF the funds of the navy.
The opinion is anticipatory of a decree setting
aside so much OF the court martial verdict as
sentenced Sayre to two years confinement in
the naval prison at Boston, but does not prevent
his dishonorable dismissal from the United
States naval service.
The Judge says he does not feel called upon to
interfere with the sentence OF the court martial.

petitioner To an Infamous punishment. such a
punishment CannOt, he SAYS, be inflicted upon
any citizen OF the United states in time OF
peace on land in close proximity to the civil
courts except through indictments OF a Grand
Jury. and upon a verdict Of his peers"
The decree RENTING the two years imprison-
ment will issue on Dec. l4th. TO which time the
case was continued, and sayre bailed for his APP
pearance at that time.
Counsel for the Government will nile eXcep-
