"THE WORST IS YET TO COME,"
DECLARES FATHER McDERMOTT
The Rev. Daniel I. McDermott, pastor of
St. Mary's Catholic Church, Fourth street
above Spruce, today returned to the charge
against tho Ancient Order of Hibernians,
In n statement Issued this afternoon, Father
McDermott explained that "his ammunition
Is by no means exhausted," nnd predicted
Hint "the worst Is yet to come."
Tho statement follows:
".My resignation was not tendered to em
barrass the Archbishop or to gain a coign
of vantage In any controversy that might
arise. On the contrary, my resignation was
tendered to deprive mo of any support my
position as pastor cuold give me, nnd to
leave me entirely nt tho Archbishop's dis
position or mercy, if ho felt constrained to
dlsclpllno me.
"The pastorship of St. Mary's would give
an cvll-dlsposed priest great advantage in
n contention with his ecclesiastical su
perior. This li a corporation which, accord
ing tu civil law, has the right to retain or
rcjtcl a pastor Independently of tho Arch
bishop's wishes.
"Any pastor who would fall to observe
tho commandments of his superior would, of
course, be deprived of nil ecclesiastical right
to hold tho pastorate nnd bo guilty of griev
ous sin If ho Bhould excrclRO tho ministry
In violation of Inhibition to do so. Just now
thero would bo no quorum without me, con-
Hecmtntly the trustees themselves could
neither approvo nor oppose the Archbishop's
action.
"I shall nlways be obedient to my su
perior unless the Justification of St. Peter,
'Wo must obey God rather than men,' calls
upon me to do something contrary to his
prohibition. Even In such a case, If
adjudged as nctlng from a mistaken notion
from duty, I shall unhesitatingly submit to
any punishment my superior may inflict. In
this controversy I need no adventitious sup
port, my position is founded upon truth nnd
facts.
"WORST IS YET TO COME."
"It Is true no canonical reason was given
for my resignation n week ago. but the
Archbishop has been given heretofore
canonical reasons to Justify him In accept
ing my resignation; the reasons nre both
personal and parochial. It Is an Illusion or
delusion to suppose that my ammunition
haa been exhausted. The funny cartoons
often have pictures of 'the worst Is yet
to come.'
"The newspapers have placed great stress
upon my relations with the prisoners con
fined In the Pottsvllle Jnll In the '70's
and have led people to tnfer that my op
position to the A. O. H. Is based upon the
Information obtained from tho condemned
men. On my first vlhlt to tho Jail, after
expressing my sympathy and regret that
they were In trouble, 1 Insisted upon two
things: that tho chargcH pending ngainst
them should not be discussed and that their
confessions would not bo heard until they
were acquitted or nil hope of pardon had
vanished. In the latter caso I assured them
that they could select their confessors, and
that I would bring them, no matter what
tho distance or expense might be.
LEARNED NOTHING FROM CONVICTS.
"As a matter of fact, I never learned
nnythlng from them, except In the case of
one who was not convicted and who sought
my advice through Captain Linden. Three
times I refused to see him In the Jail, tell
ing Captain Linden that, while It was com
mendable In the olllcers of the law to bring
FATHER McDERMOTT
BUT WRONG,
Luke Dillon, president of the Irish-American
Club, Spruce street near Eighth, who
spent seven weeks in Chicago Investigating
the murder of Dr. P. II. Cronln. whose
death Father Daniel I. McDermott, of St.
Mary's Roman Catholic Church, says was
plotted by a former president of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, believes Father Mc
Dermott Is "sincere and consistent."
"Father McDermott, I know," said Mr.
Dillon at his home, 1413 South Thirteenth
street, today, "could not do otherwise thnn
object to the opening of the A. O. II. con
vention In Pottsvllle with a mass. He has
alwajs been against the A. O. H. and every
other secret society within the church, and
in thli ho is only being consistent.
"I believe, of course, that Father Mc
Dermott Is wrong, but we must take into
consideration that he has good reason in
his own heart for the stand he has taken.
He heard the confessions of the men who
committed the crimes In the days of the
Molly Magulres and he muBt have been
deeply impressed. He probably never can
forget. .. ,, ,,
"Those days are gone. The Molly Ma
gulres are gone. The Ancient Order of
Hibernians. I believe, had nothing to do,
as an organization, with the crimes of the
Molly Magulres. Members of the Molly
Magulres might havo been members of the
A. O. H., but that cannot be held against
the A. O. II. any more than we can con
demn a church or any organization for the
misdeeds of a few of its members."
PRIEST BOWS TO ARCHBISHOP.
Father McDermott, when he learned
today that his resignation from the rector
ship of St Mary's Catholic Church will
not be accepted by Archbishop Prendergast,
said: , ,. ,
"Then I will have to remain. I can't In
sist upon It. I must obey the higher au
thority." Dillon's release from prison In May, 1914,
after 14 years' Incarceration at the hands
of tho Canadian authorities, for his alleged
complicity In the world-famous plot to blow
un the Welland Canal In 1900, is well re
membered. He does not like to refer to
that experience, but it furnished a sensa
tional revelation to his friends apd family
when the newa of his release was made
public. Dillon had been convicted under
an awumed name and never revealed his
Identity during the long period of hla lm-prlsonmeut-
He was believed to be dead,
and It was generally thought that he had
been done away with by antl-Irlsh sym
pathizers for his part in the Cronln murder
mystery.
DILLON DEFENDS A. O. H.
Mr. Dillon was prosecutor in the Clan-na-Qael,
when Doctor Cronln was mur
dered In Chicago early In May. 1889. The
clan was accused of plotting the murder,
and charges and counter-charges wre made
back and forth among various organizations.
"Doctor Cronln was a member of the Clan-na-Qael,"
said Mr. Dillon, "and there would

a. description of them. In 1874 I published
what the A. O. II. Journals sarcastically
called 'Tho Ten Commandments, signed by
nlno priests to show that an nrtlclo pub
lished In the Freeman's Journal In 1874 was
true In nil Its statements.
"Tho A. O. H. Journals fired broadsides
at the article, devoted pages to proving
'the Mollies were tho best peoplo In the
world,' etc. An avalanche of letters fol
lowed, only one of which was from a
friend. Ho wrote: 'i'ou will bo suspended,
you ought to be, not becauso you've done
wrong, but because you havo no fear of tho
"Frcemasonnry" among bishops, which leads
them nil to call for tho punishment of
tho priest who attacks one of them.' The
'attack' was n discussion of tho question,
Is It safer to follow tho bishop who dis
approves of tho A. O. II. than tho ono
who npproves of It?' In proving my con
tention, I paid my respects to two bishops
who had been betrayed by A. O. II arti
fices, the ono into tolerating, tho other
Into strongly approving of tho A. O. II.
DID NOT COURT SUSPENSION.
"I did not, of course, court suspension,
and waited the action of Bishop Wood with
no little anxiety. Wo had nover spoken
together of tho A. O. II., though I had
his pastoral letters condemning the order
nnd asking pastors (not, ns tho papor said,
to leave It), but to warn their people against
It, Notwithstanding tho 'Freemasonry' that
Is said to exist nmong bishops, my bishop
wrote Introductions to the 'Ten Command
ments,' and the article for publication In
the Catholic Standard, and sent copies of
that Issue of the paper to every priest and
bishop In the United States, Canada and
Australia. Without reflecting upon his
action, I am convinced that It will faro
better with me, so far ns my conscience la
concerned and with my fate In eternity, to
act under the npproval of Bishop (after
ward Archbishop) Wood."
SINCERE
SAYS LUKE DILLON
bo no reason why the clan should want him
done away with. Ho was a lino man, well
liked In the clan. It could never bo learned
who committed tho murder because the
police were mixed up In It. That was why
I went to Chicago. Wo wanted an Investiga
tion that would bring tho guilty to Justice.
But they were never found.
"The A. O. H., I think. Is a good organi
zation. I don't believe It was responsible
for the crimes In the coal regions, I am a
member of It, but I don't attend the meet
ings more than once a year. The trouble
with it Is that It never does anything. I
think It should not be accused of crimes or
of being a menace to the church. It la
very Inoffensive. It's better for the church
members to have organizations within tho
church than cut of it, for men must have
such things. It organizations are killed off
In the church, men will go to thoso with
out It.
THINKS PRIEST CONSISTENT.
"But Father McDermott has sincere rea
sons. He is consistent. He refused to bless
the Irish-American Club and he has re
fused to bless other organizations."
"If the A. O. II. was organized to do ven
geance, It would turn up the man, Mc
Farland, who gave out the oaths of the A.
O. H., who made it a business to Join so
cieties and reveal their secrets. He Is alive
and Is still at large. If the A. O, H, were
still doing things it would find McFnrland
There was the fellow, Morgan, who re
vealed secrets of the Masons. He disap
peared. His body was found In Lake
Michigan."

Un forte rcpnrto dl truppo nustrlache bat

Allora San Marco sara' completamente clr
