McGavick, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, has for­ warded his resignation to Rome. Al­ ready the names of Fathers Muldoon, Fitzsimmons and Gill have been men­ tioned in connection with the appoint­ ment as his successor. The report that Bishop McGavick has resigned is not denied. His brother, the Rev. James McGavick, who is at present acting for the Bishop as pastor of Holv Angel's church, refused to dis­ cuss the report, and other Catholic clergymen are reticent in regard to it. It has been known for some time that on account of illness Bishop McGavick was unable to preform bis duties as Bishop Auxiliary. Since his appoint­ ment as pastor of Holy Angel's church he has been almost constantly absent from his parish, having celebrated but' one high mass. During the greater part of the time he has been at tar's home at Libertyvijle.
