LOGUE GRILLS HIBERNIANS

Cardinal Prohibits Giving of Absolution to Offending Members. Dublin, May 14. —Cardinal Logue has issued a strong condemnation of certain practices of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. He says that in some places the Hibernian society practices cruel tyranny, its members indulging in drinking and dancing, and compelling people by force to join the organization by threats to boycott and even by personal violence. He forbids the priests from this time on to give absolution to those guilty of such practices.
