the Papal ALLOCATE in this country. revived
yesterday by the publication in The World' OF
alleged copy OF charges which were said to
have been printed in the Italian language in Rome
and presented to the authorities at the Vatican.
The pamphlet as published deals with the reports
about Archbishop Corrgan's reputed attempts TO
cast discredt upon the Pope's Delegate by causing
hostile articles to be printed in the newspapers.
particularly in THE Catholic Herald 1t is de-
clared IN the pamphlet that the Archbishop was
intimate with Michael Walsh the editor of the
religious Journal. and wrote some of the articles
which appeared in the paper. Following is an ex-
tract from the pamphlet:
Sometimes he wrote letters Walsh praisnG
him for article which had appeared to him
more than usually biting But the spirit Of parti-
sanship carried him beyond ali bounds when it be-
came known that Monsgnor Satolli was coming TO
the United states Invested with the double char
acter of representative of the Pope at the Chicago
Worlds Fair and of his Ablegate for ecclesiastical
affairs
In the long run Monsienor Satol came TO be
ncknamed the Perugan Theoogian and once when
there had been assault of the most refined
kind the 'Perugian." Monsignor Corrigan wrote

of the statements In the published article as false
and malicious, particularly the following which
he declared were so lbelous to justify a suit
for damages:

MonsGnor Corrigan was so much influenced by

had been friendly. and he declared that the arti-

the charges against the Archbishop had been sent

pamphlet published in THE World probably was
