COMPLAINT AGAINST MEYER
Catholic Priest of Denver to See
President About Ambassador
to Rome.

OYSTER BAY, July THE first official
caller on the president since his arrival
here was Rev. John Hay Cushing, a Cath
Ollie priest Of Denver, Colo, who went
there today to nle a complaint against
Ambassador Meyer at Rome.
Mr.. Cushing claims that he and twenty
eight other priests were driven out of the
Denver diocese by Bishop Mstz for no
other reason than their failure to vote
for him for the bishopric. He said he
was the fourth to go. Protests were sent
to Rome and later the twenty nine priests.
as well as Bishop Matz, went there to state
their case before the vatican.
The fight has continued without success
ever since 1888. In 1901 Bishop Matz Is
alleged to have had Mr.. Gushing arrested
in Rome for forcing himself into his pres
ence and 1t is said Cushing was put in
Jail by the Italian authorities, who openly
admitted that 1t was in open retaliation
for the lynching Of Italians in New Or
leans.
He claims that he was treated to great
indlgnlties and Ambassador Meyer and Con-
sui de Castro were negligent in protecting
him as an American citizen. Mr.. Gushing
claims further that three New York men
furnished Bishop Matz with 100000 with
which to Tight the priests in their claim
to restoration to ecclesiastical functions.
When Mr.. Cushing called the president
was not at home, but he left certain
papers and will return here on Thursday.
