Continued from First Page.

German people. 1t was furthermore an
act of disloyalty to himself, which would
III time be properly dealt with.
IL then lay between the Baltimore pub
fishing office and the papal delcgate's S house
hold here to determine how the speech had
failed To get into print in the book. Father
Slattery stated that he had never received
u copy of the address, or it certainly would
have been put in the publication.
DIR. ROCKER MADE RESPONSIBLE.
1t was then charged that DIR. Rocker was
responsible for the omission. His supposed
unfriendlincSS To the German church was
cited as additional reason for thinking him
responsible. So il was concluded that DIR.
Rocker was the man referred to by the
cardinal as diSloyal, in this case.
The disseminators of this gossip found
additional matter in the iinal relief of DR..
Feries as professor or canon law by the di-
reCtors of the university accepting his res
ignation last weei..
Dr. Per.cs was informed at the meeting
of the directors last April that his services
would not be needed longer. He had n
contract with the university, and he ap-
pealed to Cardinal Satolli to enforce it.
The cardinal promised, it is said, to give
the matter his attention, but for some rea-
Son never did. This failure of the cardinal,
il is alleged, was due to the Interference
OF Dr. Rocker. Cardinal SatOlli is reported
TO have said that he was deceived in regard
to the merits or Dr. Peries' complaint.
Since the gossip about DIR. Rockers re-
moyal has arisen again Father Slattery has
made fun statement as to the failure to
publish the Pottsville speech in Loyalty to
Church and State He has said clearly
that the addresses were collected at the re-
quest OF Cardinal Satolli that every ad
dress added in the second edition was re-
ceived personally from Cardinal Satolli, to
whom the proofs were submitted.
DIR. ROCKER TALKS OUT PLAINLY
Dr. Rocker was not present when Car
dinal Satolli was arranging the matter for
the second edition. nor hai he the handling
of any matter which went into the second
edition.
1t is said Mgr. Schroeder has intimated
that Or. Rocker was TO blame in both these
matters.
DR.. Rocker said at the time of Cardinal
Satolli'S leaving Washington, in reply to
question as To his own leaving the le-
CATION, that it was d time OF uncertainty
;is TO whose official head was safe He had
no intimation that he was to be trans
ferred.
When asked early this week about Car
dinal Satoilis attitude toward him, DR.
Rocker said he had reasonable grounds for
Counting the cardinals lntenuonto recon-
mend his removal Cardinal Satolli had

papers had hinted at his responsibility in the
two matters referred 10, but no charges
