Also r fusal to oboy orders and_Instructions from Cardinal Ledochowskl, Mgr. Satolli and Bishop Scannell A8 to inciting strife, the bishop 1s charged with going into the chwscfh at Palmyra in June, 1892, whére Father Corbett was In charge, and telling the congregation that Corbett had made no improvements in thoe parish, had paid off none of the debts of the church, and that the parish was under deeper debt than when Corbett took charge, know ing at the time the charges were false. In April, 1803, occurred the suspension of Cor. bett, which resuited In the trial o the bishop for libel at Lincoln. It is alleged that on this last occasion the bighop, “in a public hotel in Palmyra, in the presence of Catho- lics and Protestants, tried to procure and manufacture testimony against Father Cor- bett.” It Is » charged that the bishop visited the parish of Father Crowley Dave aking testimony against the although no charges were pendin ings he called a pub! and there spoke in ispicion on Father being present STRIFE AND DISSENSION, Specification 5 under this charge 18 to the effect that the bishop created strife in tho convent at Hastings, raising up a feoling against Father English. That he inter- cepted letters of the nuns, and dismissed two of them on account of what they had written, and upbraided others for making afMidavits to be submitted to Mgr. Satolli. He oncouraged malcontents to send him petitions asking for removal of pastor: He instituted suits against Hon. Patrick Egan and others to secure subscriptions pledged by them. He also compelled a con- tractor to sue for pay for labor and material furnished in the construction of a church at Lincoln. Father Mainville was commanded by the bishop to sue subscribers to a fund for the erection of the convent at Rulo. The convent has been built and stands ompty and useless. o also instituted ac- tion against Father Corbett and the Bank of Palmyra to prevent the priest from handling the funds of the parish. Under the eharge of libel and slander the case of Father Corbett, tried hefore a justice of the peace at Lincoln and decided in favor of the bishop, is first cited. The libel consists in the issuance of a dodger notify- Ing the congregation of the suspension of the priest. This was aggravated by the announcement through public prints of the excommunication of Father Corbett. In 1859, it i3 charged, the bishop called Father Crowley a “whisky barrel,” and forbade the priests assoclating with the priest for this reason. He is charged with repeating this language. At the trial of Father Corbett at Lincoln in 1891, in the presence of the court, the bishop cailed Rev. D. 8. Phelan of St. Louis a drunkard and opium eater and a libertine. Over his own signature in the Lincoln Journal he stated that six of his priests “are open and notori- ous criminals,” and that five of the priests who hiad signcd a certain document had been “disciplined by the bishop for their un- priestly conduct, and some of whom were adventurers and outcasts from other dio- cesos. In support cf the charge of arbitrary ex- ercise and abuse of power, the bishop is ac- cused of assuming the role of dictator at a1l the conferences of the priests and laity, refusing the right of free speech. At one meeting he called Father Corbett “an fm- pertinent fellow’ and ordered him to leave the hall. His institution of actions at law against several priests is in violation of “Bulls of the Apostolic See.”” Diocesan statutes were violated by the bishop In neglecting to make any statement of the financial eondition of affairs of his parish for six years and over; withholding the books from the inspection of the priests who were associated with him. He has collected money for the use of the diocese and has given no account of it. He has divided parishes arbitrarily without consent of consultors or pastors, HIS FINANCIAL MANEUVERS. Under the heading of ‘“Misappropria- tion,” in the eighth charge, there are two specifications, the first being subdivided into six paragraphs. In the first of these it is stated that in 1890 a large sum of money was raised for drouth sufferers in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska by the bishop, and no accounting has ever been made of it. In the second paragraph it is alleged that be- quests have been made and no Account ever given of them by the bishop. Other para- graphs specify sums of money ranging from $400 to $2,000, raised by lectures, bazaars, subscriptions, donations and other means, for specific purposes and turned over to the bishop, no account of which has ever been given. The second specification reads: “The financial statement recently published by the right reverend bishop, covering-a period of six years or so, is replete with errors, mis- statements, omissions and fraud, as will ap- pear by thie critical examination thereot on trial.” Eight specifications under charge IX. ac- cuse the bishop of lying, first in misrepre- senting the importance of a migsion; second, in violating pledges made to a building com” mittee; third, in announcing the suspension and excommunication of priests contrary to facts; fourth, in making false statements to various persons to secure subscriptions; fifth, in accusing Father Corbett of entering the priesthood through deception and in- trigue; sixth, In publishing over his own ] ature a statement that he had not signed an agreement with Mgr. Satolll and the priests not to take any revenge on the priests, but to treat them kindly, when, in fact, he had signed such an agreement; seventh, in making contradictory state- ments to the members of Father Crowley's rish at the time he removed that priest; eighth, in making contradictory statements to the sisters at Hastings with reference to the erection of a convent at that place. One specification, under the charge of *'Spec- ulation,” reitorates the eighth specification of the first charge concerning the land deal. In 1890, in connection with James McCabe and James Henry, priests of St. Louis, the bishop purchased ‘eighty acres of land, the north half of the southwest quarter of sec- tion 6, township 9, range 7, in Lancaster county, paying for it $20,000. 'He aftorwards sold a ‘plece of it, six and one-twenty-ninth acres, to the diocese for §3,000. On this land the oplscopal palace was erected, for the purpose of increasing the value of the re- mainder thereof. Charles XII sets forth sevoral cases of what the complaining priests denominate un- Just favoritism. SOME SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS. What appears to be the most serious of the allegations dre contained in the remain- ing charges, which are given with the speci- fications in full, as follows: Charge XI, "Undue Influence—The said right reverend b'shop is hereby charged with the exercise of undue influence and pressure for the purpose of obtaining bequests. Specification 1—-One Mrs. Sinott of Milford, Neb., was tha owner of 220 acres of land near that town, of the value of about $10,000, Sho had promised to give the samo at her death to her atopted daughter, or a portion thereof. Mrs. Sinott falling sick and being weak and casily improsti-nable, was induced, persuaded and coerced by tho right reverend bishop to loave said land to him, contrary to national justice and right. That steps are been taken baforo the eivil tribunals of the state to recover sald lands for the benofit of thoe rightful helr, and to set aside and annul the said will of Mrs. Sinott Charge XII, “Scandal"—The right rever- end bishop is hereby charged with creating scandal among the clergy and the laity of the diocese. Specification 1-—In the month of January, 1891, he went to the jafl of the county of Lancastor, in Lincoln, Neb., with Rev. M. C. Walsh, and there and then disgraced and scandalized the said priest, for charges made against him by Mrs. Sheedy, a woman then confined in said jail upon the charge of murdering her husband, and who then had two husbands living, and said to sald Rev. Walsh: “Leave my house and diocese at | once, for it was like Caesar's wife, above suspicion, until you brought disgrace and shame upon it." Charge XIV, “Gambling”—The sald right roverend bishop 18 heroby charged with gam- ng. Specification 1—Before his consecration the right reverend bishop was a notorious gam- bler In St. Louls, and speit his nights and days at the gaming table. He gambled with Father Hoines, at Pierce City, Mo., to whom he still owes a large gambling debi The names of others with whom the right , the priest not THE OMAHA roverend bishop gambled are not hereln in- serted, in order to avoid seandal, but will be produced before the court at the proper time Charge XV, “Incitation to Perjury"—The sald right reverend bishop is hereby charged with rolicitation or incitation to perjury. Specification 1—In June, 1893, the right reverend bishop sollcited Father Loughran to make and sign an_affidavit and swear to the san that the books of the parish of St Theresa, containing a statement of the re ceipts and expenditures of ¢ald parish had been in possessfon of sald Father Loughran since he, the said Loughran, had been pastor, and that the said books of accounts, as weli as the books of the said diocese, were true and correct, when, In truth and in fact, the sald oks were inaccurate and untrue, as the said right reverend bishop well knew. That when the sald Father Loughran refused to slgn and certify the said books and to ke the afMdavit requested, the right r nd bishop replicd that he, the sail Lough- t to swear for the sake of friend hat upon the ontinued refusal of Loughran to so certify, sign and swear, Rt. Rev. Bishop Bonacum gave him his exeat’ and sald that the sooner the said Father Loughran left the house and diocese the better. s SOME WHO HAVE GONE.

ADVANCE IN TRANSCONTIN[NTAL CHARGES Discrimination in'Favbr of New York Is Over and Chicago and the West Wil Now Have n Show at the Call- fornia’ Business. CHICAGO, April 12,—(Speclal Telegram to The Bee)—On May 1 transcontinental froight rates between Atlantic and Pacific coast points will be advanced to practically the figures in effect two years ago. This ad- vance marks the collapse of the traffic asso- clation of California, the organization of shippers which forced the reduction in rates by subsidizing ocean competition. Almost the entire benefit of advance will accrue to Chicago. For two years rates from Chl- cago to California have been based on $2.48, first class, while all large eastern cities had a basis of $1.50, first class. During this whole time it has been cheaper for Chicago merchants to ship via New York all their goods in the numbered classes to California. The discrimination against Chicago was brought about solely by the ocean competition be- tween Atlantic and Pacific coast points. They forced a losing basls of rates between terminal points and one which was really never used as an all rall basis. The Southern Pacific took the traffic to New Or- leans in steamships and thence to Callfornia over its Sunset route. By establishing the $1.50 basis from Chicago western lines would have been compelied to use that basis as a maximum for intermediate hauls. This meant certain bankruptey, and they conse- quently maintained a $2.48 basis from Chi- cago. Commodity rates will be equalized on April 15 rates as follows will also -be the same to California fromi the Atlantic and Chicago on-and after May 1 2 3 4 5 A ) : L ] D E $2.40 $215 $2.00 §1.°0 $165 | $1.6) $110 $1.00 $1.0) 9ic During the last two years the following rates have been in effect from New York and eastern puinN Taey 5 el Sael ) a1'50 8170 $1%9 3120 81°10 | $110 s100 150 310 8100 The following rates have been in effect from Chicago: 2 4 A REioL D 8 $2 19 $2.00 £1.76 $1.70 | $1.60 $1.14 $1.10 $1.00 96> The effect of the equalization will be to practically open up brand new territory to western merchants. Bastern merchants have had the whip hand for two years, and now Chicago can compete on even terms. In addition to these changes the Great Northern will on April 16 do exactly a like service for north Pacific const points. It {ssued a notice today that on the date men- tioned it will adopt from Chicago to northern Pacific_points the same commodily rates as are published from New York to the Pacific coast by the Sunset route, subject to a mini- mum_rate of 50 cents. This will permit the Chicago-merchants to enter into competi- tion with the merchants of the east, which was_ heretofore practically impossible, owing to the discrimination in) fayor of rates from New York to the Paclfic coast. SETTLING PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBTS, Commissioner Hampton Discusses the Methods ¥roposed. WASHINGTON, April 12.—General Wade Hampton, the commissioner of railways, has submitted to the house committee hav- ing supervision of.the matter sundry mem- oranda on the various pending bills for a settlement of the idebti of the Pacific rall- roads to the United States. From his mem- oranda it appears-that the commissioner is opposed to the foréslosire of the lien on the roads and the management thereof by con- gress, as proposed hy one bill, but is favor- ably 'disposed to Ehe maintenance of the sinking fund and the payment into it of a larger proportion of the net earnings. He says that on the maturity of the debts of these ronds three forms of settlement with the companies will be presented, from which a choice must be made, viz: Fore- closure, maintalning the sinking fund and requiring that a larger percentage of net earnings be pald into it, or refund the debt. Discussing the question of foreclosure, he says: “A foreclosure of the lien, it is ad- mitted, wilk ot satisty the debt, as a sale of the subsidized roads under 'decree of court would not realizé more than enough to cancel the amount of the first mortgage bonds, in_ which case the United States would' be required either to lose the claim or buy in the lines and pay off the first mortgage indebtedness. Rallway manage- ment, aside from being opposed to the se tled policy of the government, would be not only a doubtful but a dangerous experiment, It could not well be divorced from politics, with the attendant danger of a corruption of the civil service. This alternative, there- fore, should be refected.” Under the second form of settlement he says the sinking fund may be maintained and a larger proportion of net earnings be required to be paid Into it, o not only cur- rent interest may be met,'but the principal of the bonds gradually’ diminished. This proposition, he says, he heartily recom- mends for adoption in the form of a pro- posed bill which was submitted to the sec- retary of the interlor for transmission to the committee. Concerning the question of re- funding the debt the commissioner points out that the Frye bill, introduced in Decern- ber, 1891, I8 the same'as the Brown bill, in- troduced in the house at this session of congress, and which provides for the re- funding of the debt. TROUBLE AMONG THE RAILROADS. Charges of Rate Cutting and Improper Methods of Securlng Business. CHICAGO, Aprit 12.—Vice Chairman Don- ald of the Central Traffic association is pre- paring to lay before Chairman Caldwell of the Western Passenger association, upon the latter's return from the east, charges agalnst several of the western passenger lines who are placing tickets in many cities of the east. The roads accused of placing these orders are the Rock Island, Alton and Milwaukee & St. Paul. The Atchison has also placed orders wherever the Western Passenger association lines have put them. Mr. Donald today called upon the Atchison to call in Its orders, but it refused, saying it would only withdraw its orders after all the others had taken back theirs. If the western lines do not agree to withdraw their orders the Central ‘Traflic assoclation lines will probably Invade the territory be- tween Chicago and Denver and Chicago and 8t. Paul and keep after business there until the western lines have agreed to cease so- liciting, business in the territory not thefr own. The Rock Island has preferred charges agalnst the Burlington for alleged cutting of the rates between Reck Island, 1ll, and the Pacifid coast. The regular raté {8 $19.75, and advegtiements have app fssued by the liggzton, offering to sell m‘“'s T tickets for he Burlington claims the reduction is'“merely a typographical error. The Rock Island, however, has is- notice that it ihtends to meet the rate tised. The o Great Western today charged the B. & M.dine, which is part of the Burlington system, with cutting rates between Rhinebegk,, Iy, and Chicago.
