the head of a middle-class parish in
Denver. He was noted for his elo-

and managed to turn Democrat in
time to swing that party in behind
the church in suppressing the agita-
tion.
Father Malones fearlessness and in
dependence. however. brought him into
conflict with his bishop. The latter
prescribed severe disciplinary meas

Malone resisted. and the case was
brought to the Apostolic Delegate in
The bishop was partially
upheld and the priest was relieved of
the extreme discipline which his in
might have brought
down on him. A compromise was ef-
fected, as result of which Father
Malone gave up his church in Denver
and was granted a rowing commission.

travel. so he sold his paper to a Catholic
newspaper in Salt Lake City. AS far as
can be learned he has done little except
travel here and abroad since that time.

bring him to Washington when important
events are expected.
