THE NAVY FRAUDs

The full investigation OF the charge
that rotten armor-plate has been put
into some of our warships by the Car
negie corporation is now promised at
the Navy Department. Attorney Wal
lace. of Pittsburg. who represents the
people claiming to be prepared to sun
ply the proof Of the charges. had long
and apparently satisfactory interview
with Secretary Herbert yesterday. and
has gone back to Pittsburg to complete
his case.
1t seems incredible that any red-tape-
ism or official tomfoolery should be al
lowed to interfere for an instant with
the vigorous prosecution Of this inquiry.
or that any question OF money should
stand in It's way. II the charges are
sustained. no more Infamous crime
could be committed than that laid to
the charge of the contractors. 1t is not
only a money swindle. but n reasonable
blow at the safety and honor of the
nation.
Naturally the troubles that have
arisen between the Carnegie people and
their employers ought to make the Gov
eminent careful in Its investigation OF
the serious charges now brought against
| the Company. But the proof Is easy
The Government has the evidence in It,
own possession. and there ought to b'
no delay In testing Its sufficiency ant
applying the remedy.

SUMMONED TO ROME.
Report that Archbishop Corrigan
Is Accused Of Conspiracy.
Charged with Trying to Destroy
Mgr. SatolIi's Influence.
Papers Said to he Drawn Up Ready
for the Pope.

Catholic society Is stirred to Its depths
to-day by the announcement that
specific charges have been preferred
against Archbishop Corrigan, and that
he has been summoned to Rome to
answer them.
The charge against the Archbishop is
said to be conspiracy. and is based on
the alleged efforts to destroy the infiu-
ence OF Mgr. Satolli. the Apostolic Dele
gate to the United States.
For long time 1t has been limited
that Mgr Satolli was in frame of
mind which augured no good for the
Archbishop OF New York. but the re-
ports did not go so far as to state that
specific charges had been made out.
Now 1t Is stateC, on what seems to be
unimpenchable authority. that the
papers are all In Washington and ready
TO be sent to Rome.
1t is also said that the "invita-
ton" to visit Rome. which Archbishop
Corrigan Is known to have received
is nothing less than an order to APP
pear there.
The present trouble Is, OF course, the
outgrowth OF the differences between
Mgr. Satollf and the Archbishop over
Rev. DR.. McGlynn's case.
IL mas been well known In Cathollc
circles for some months past, that the
feeling between the Apostolic Delegate
and Archbishop Corrigan was not less
ening. and the final eruption OF the
sumbering volcano has been looked for
anxiously.
The usual difficulty in obtairing a
statement from the Archbishop was ex-
perienced to-day.
At the archiepiscopal residence 1t
was said that the Archbishop. would
see no newspaper men and had, In fact,
gone out to avoid such contingency.
Father Lavelle. rector Of st. Patick's,
was also said to be cut.
Archbishop Ireland will be at the
Holland House late this afternoon. He
has been in Washington with Mgr.
Satolli for several weeks, and 1t is
| directly with the trouble between Arch
bishop Corrlgan and Mgr. Satolli.

Of adjoining ones home and having It neat

meat and groceries and by taking care In cooking
TO use II all up than to buy cheap stun that will
surely be wasted. Also. when they keep house
they accumulate many things they would not have
II boarding. My advice 10 to buy good. durable
articles that you pay for. Let them be In
good taste, and do not envy those who have more
money and make yourself miserable because they
have more expensive things than you. Be sure
and mako good bread. Have good butter. coffee
and at the end Of the year you will have money
