lis AT TER AN
AMBASSADOR
CATHOLIC PRIEST MAKES COM
PLANT TO PRESIDENT.
IN OLD CHURCH FIGHT
Claim to Have Been Removed for not
Voting as Desired in Matter OF
Rishopric and That American OFF,
ciai at Rome Was Also Not
Fair.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July S.-The first
official callers on President Roosevelt
since his arrival here was Rev. John
Hay Cushing, a Catholic priest of
Denver, who went there yesterday to
file complaint against Ambassador
Meyer at Rome. Gushing claims he
and % other priests were driven out
of the Denver diocese by Bishop Matz
for no other reason than their failure
to vote for him for the bishopric. He
said he was the fourth to go. Pro
tests were sent to Rome and later the
% priests as well as Bishop Matz,
went to state their case before the
vatican. The fight has continued
since 1888. In 1901 Bishop Matz is al
legged to have had Gushing arrested in
Rome for forcing himself into his
presence and it is said Cushing was
put in Jail by Italian authorities who
openly admitted it was in retaliation
for the lynching Of Italians in New
Orleans. He claimed he was treated
to great indignities and Ambassador
Meyer and Consul De Castro were neg
ligent in protecting him as an Ameri-
can citizen. Cushing claims further
that three New York men furnished
Bishop Matz with $4,000 with which
to fight priests in their claim to the
restoration to ecclesiastical functions. |
When Gushing called the president
was not at home but he left certain |
papers and will return here tomor-
row.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL HAS
EPIDEMIC OF DIPHTHERA

Waukesha, July 6.-There are at
present eight cases of diphtheria at
the isolation hospital at the industrial
school and Supt. Mercia and the other
officials are at loss as to the origin of
the disease at the institution Ollie
Heinemann died of the disease Satur-
day but the other patients are rapidly
convalescing. The educational depart
ment at the school has been closed for
some time and will continue so until
the disease is stamped out. The mem
bers of the different families are not
allowed to mingle and every precaution
is being taken to prevent an epidemic
There were a number of cases of liph-
iberia at the school in February and
one death, but Supt. Mercia believed
that the disease had been wiped out.
There have been ten cases since June 1.
City Health Commissioner DR.. Hugo
Philler and other physicians have ex-
amined the premises and found the
sanitary conditions excellent. 1t is be-
lieved that some inmate brought the
disease to the school which accounts
for the subsequent cases.
