WILL GET A RED. HAT
MONSIGNOR SATOLLI To BE MADE A
CARDINAL NEXT MONTH.
FIR. Papf, the AbIegate's Secretary,
Anxious to Leave the Vatican Staff
and Join the Jesuit Order.

ROME Oct. 1S-Information from sources
within the Vatican makes 1t possible to give
details concerning the cardinalate to be
conferred on Monsignor Satolli and the re-
tirement of Mgr Satollfs secretary, Father
Papi, from the Vatican staff in order to
join the Jesuit order. There have been de-
malls Of the report of Father Papfs move,
but the facts are now learned beyond any
question. About four months ago Father
Papi applied here for his exeat. The re-
quest was very broad. and contemplated
a retirement from his official connection
with the Vatican's foreign service and the
prospective honors it had in store for him.
1t was made known that he desired to re-
tire from the world and devote his life in
the Jesuit order to study and teaching. To
this end he applied to the provincial of the
Jesuit order at New York for admission,
and on the granting of the exeat here he
would have been transferred. The plans
were modified, however, by the premature
reports of Father Papis intention. 1t was
felt also by those having Jesuit interests
at heart, that the accession of Mgr. Sa-
TOLLS secretary to the Jesuits might arouse
criticism on the ground that the one best
Informed Of the confidential transactions
of the ablegate had Joined the order popu-
TOLL. While this criticism would be ground
less, it was deemed advisable to avoid the
possible charge of Jesuit trick" For
this reason IL is believed the New York
provincial will advise Father Papi TO wait
year or two before taking his exeat and
Joining the order. by which time Father
Papfs confidential relations with Mgr Sa-
TOLL will have terminated.
Concerning the cardinalate to be con-
ferred on Archbishop Satolli there appears
to be no ground for the reports that no
tice OF the appointment has been forwarded
to the ablegate. The consistory OF Cardi-
nails which advises with the Pope on the
next month, so that the actual determine
tion on his appointment will not be made
until then. In the meantime. there are
which number Ii Is considered certain that
five Cardinals will be named. Mgr. Satolli
Is among the hve- There are no further
American names among those under consid-
GRAFTON. 1t is expected that the comforting
of the red hat on Mgr. Satolli will be cele-
brated at Cardinal Gibbons's church in
high rank and distinguished prelates will
go from here the personal representa-
tives OF the Pope. There Is doubt yet as
carry jurisdiction over diocese or will be
purely honorary. Cardinal Gibbons is also
Archbishop OF the Baltimore diocese. in
Guiding Virginia, Maryland and District of
Columbia. which makes him powerful as
we'll as an honorary prelate. Whether a
nal is still Undetermined. It is probable.
however. that his jurisdiction over ques-
tions between bishops and priests and 9TH
er church conflicts will be regt rded as
equivalent TO q diocese. All OF the papers
In these trials are in Latin. and. as Mgr
Satolli Is perfect Latin scholar, as we'll
as a master of canon law, he is considered
better qualified for the work than for SUI
pervision over the active labors OF dio-
cese The title is likely. therefore, to be
honorary without the supplementary pow
er OF an archbishop. Yet. as the personal
representative OF the Pope In America,
the. new cardinal will occupy a station
higher than that which the powers of arch
bishop could bring TO him.
