In the Case of Monsignore
Schroeder
POSITIVE DENIAL IS MADE
OF STATEMENTS CONCERNING
RESIGNATION
Archbishops Decide to Continue the
Catholic Indian Bureau With
Mgr. Stefani in Charge

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The cardi.
nal. archbishops and bishops consti-
tuting the board of directors of the Cath
Ollie University Of America today de-
cided to refer the case of Monsignore
Schroeder, professor of dogmatic theol-
ogy at the university, to Pope Leo for
final determination. This conclusion
was reached late this afternoon, and was
formally announced in an official state
ment issued by the board
The case Is one, of the most notable in
the recent history of the church, and
besides agitating the hierarchy to the
center and engaging public attention in
this country, it has been considered at
the vatican and has been the subject of
cable communications between Rome
and the papsl delegate at Washington.
Statements that Mgr. Schroeder had
resigned as preliminary to the refer
ence of the case to the pope were posi-
lively and authoritatively denied.
After the board had adjourned, rep
resentative of the Associated Press
asked the monsignor for an authorized
statement. He. expressed regret at the
prominence given to his name before the
public, and said he most earnestly want
ed to resign as professor during his
last vacation; that he had been suffer-
ing very much from neuralgia while
in Germany, and the physicians advised
him to resign on account of the great
md tn fo1 ant
nected with his position; that he came
back to the university because the holy
father told him to do so; that therefore
he could not resign without the consent
of the holy father; that as TO the per-
sonal attacks made. upon him, his an
swer was only contempt. and that he
was glad to hear that the board did not
take the charges into consideration.
At meeting Of the archbishops to
consider general affairs relating to the
church it was decided to continue the
Catholic Indian bureau, with Mgr.
Stefani in charge, and to distribute
about $4,000 for Indian schools.
The executive committee was author
lied to secure such notifications in the
charter as may be necessary. The COM
mittee on organization reported favor
ably on the conditions under which SEM
inaries might be affiliated with the fac
ulty Of theology of the university, and
a conference of the rector with the presi-
dents of the different Summaries was
recommend. The board accepted the
report upon the relations Of the univer-
sity with the Sulpitian fathers and
adopted the plan proposed. The divin-
ity college, both as to the. spiritual d.
rection OF the students and the domestic
economy, is henceforth to be in the hands
of the Sulpitian fathers subject to the
general consultations. The free schol-
arships which had been offered to the
Catholic colleges for the purpose of en-
couraging good relations between the
colleges and the university, were ap-
proved by the board.
The committee on studies reported
their approval of the course of studies
and expressed their qualification at the
present condition of the work and dis
cipline in the university.
