COMPLETE THEIR WORK.
Catholic ArchbishOps AdjOurn-COm-
mittee in Session Today.

The Catholic archbishops completed their
work al the afternoon session yesterday at
the Catholic University and adjourned, al
though a committee was in session today
and apportioned funds for Indian schools
to the several archdioceses in which the
Indian work is carried on.

The pope's appointment of Archbishop
Chappelle apostolic delegate to Cuba,
announced in The Star of yesterday, con-
the prelates. 1t developed late in the day
that the archbishop had left Rome and
was now at Paris, where the peace com
mission is In session. While it was the ac-
cepted view here that Archbishop Chap
pelle would remain at the head of the New
Orleans archdiocese, yet it was felt that it
might become necessary to appoint a CO.
adjutor archbishop to assist him during his
special mission. The understanding here
is that he will go to Havana and Santiago,
and conduct his work in Cuba. There he
will be the personal representative of the
pope, just Cardinal Satolli and Mon
signor Martinelll have represented the pope
in the United States
1t was a source of some satisfaction
among the prelates that the Vatican had
on this occasion chosen an American priest
for distinctly American enterprise thus
varying the usual rule of selecting apostolic
delegates from the Italian clergy near the
pope
