DENVER MAYOR FREE.
Contempt Proceedings Against Him
Dismissed; Rocky Mountain News
Suit Remanded.

DENVER, Colo. July 6-The
state supreme court today dismissed
the contempt proceedings against
Mayor R. R. Wright, Jr., and members
of the city council of Denver arising
from the passage Of an ordinance
granting street railway franchise in
disregard Of the injunction issued BY
bistrlet Judge Mullins. Another de.
cision sustains the right of the Denver
fire and police board TO hold over un-
der Rush home rule law until the new
charter is adopted and the election
held. A suit to test the legality Of the
general appropriation bill passed at
the late session of the legislature was
remanded to court Of errors and ap-
peals. The district court decided the
appropriation bill was not properly
enacted and appeal was taken to the
supreme court.

although not all on paper. The clos

three passed.
Thus Of the public school children not quite

Roman Catholic minority, chiefly French,
protested and carried the case to the Do
minion Parliament. Six years Of agita-

teddy an important factor in the cleo
ton of 1895. The matter was compro-
missed in 1897 by an arrangement which
provided religious teaching in the schools
of the province for the French Catholics
who desired it, The Pope issued an en-
cyclical advising acceptance Of this con-
cession, although asserting it's made
quacy and expressing hope for a
better arrangement later. Echoes Of this
have been heard within the last few
weeks in the shape of talk of reopening
the matter for political purposes at the
coming provincial election.
The difficulty of assimilating this ele-
ment into that which is now the major
force IN Canada, the sturdy English stock
inoculated with American energy and
progressiveness, is manifestly great. 1t
contains no shadow of menace to the
peace Of the country, though it will
