Vatican Denies Receiving Protest.


Female Choir Voices Have Not Been Forbidden.

(Associated Press Cablegram)

ROME, May 11.—The Vatican authorities deny having received objections from American archbishops regardin  gthe (sic) impossibility of enforcing the papal decree providing for the restoration of the Gregorian chant and the banishment of women from church choirs.  It is pointed out in this connection that the decree did not call for the exclusive use of the Gregorian chant, nor did it forbid congregational singing, including, naturally, female voices.
