ITALIANS PROTESTED.
Did Not Like the Recent Action of
DIR. BOuchet.

Washington Aug. ga protest has
been sent TO the papal legation here by
the leading Italians of Louisville, KY,
against the recent action of Very Rev
DR.. Bouchet, vicar general of that do
cese, in refusing 20 conduct solemn NOR
trary service in honor of King Humbert' s
memory.
1t appears that Father Bouchet had con-
scented to offer a simple low mass for
this purpose, but declined to hold any
more elaborate service. Archbishop Mar
tineHi has the right in this country of
disciplining any priest or prelate for
breach of duty, but since the present &C
ton of Very Rev. DR.. Bouchet, is no
infraction of the moral law, it is evident
that neither himself nor his local SUI
perior, Bishop McClosky, will incur any
severe penalty.
