satolll Declines to Make Public a Let
ter From Rome on the subject.
WASHINGTON, Dec 2O.-Monsignor Sa-
TOLL. the apostolic delegate, says any in
formation concerning the recent letter to
Bishop Mcdonnell affecting secret socie-
ties must come from The Bishop. The
delegate says his only office in the matter
was to transmit the communication ex-
actly as it came from Rome, and that it
involved no action or ruling on his part.
de was asked II the ban of the church
was to be placed on other secret societjes
than the Knights OF Pythias, odd Fellows
and Sons OF temperance, buthe declined
TO give any information as to how specific
societies were affected, or what punlsh-
pent would be visited upon their indi-
vidual members III case they continued
their membership. A high ecclesiastical
authority outside Of the delegation stated
that 1t was his understanding that the
action OF the church as against secret So
cletles Is general, rather than specific
society being designated. This. how
ever, could not be verified from the dele
gate. He insisted that as he was merely
channel OF communication in this case
he had no concern In the subject and The
proprieties required that the Bishop who
received the communication should be
the one to judge how far it should be
made public.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20 Archbishop Cor
rigan denied himself to reporters TODAY
who sought to obtain his views regarding
the encyclical interdict of secret societies
promulgated by Bishop Mcdonnell of
brooklyn to conference of priests of
his diocese this week. Vicar General
Farley admitted the truth of the state
ment that such an order had been pro-
mulgated. 1.-The Odd Fellows, Sons of
Temperance and the Knights of Pythias
have been interdicted,' he said. The de-
cree of condemnation will be at once pro-
mulgated throughout the church, both
from tie pulpits and by the press. As to
the reasons tor this action, il is sufficient
to say that they were condemned because
the Archbishops evidently held that they
were antagOnistic to the church.
