The former is I'n'of interest to the deeply religious fll rjjt, while the latter subject is ; le v.hi' h has excited or rather made I pBf.rn'aT;t every enthusiastic Catholic. v,ecl;s asro. when Bishop Matz rvered l;is address on "Socialism," t pointed out in what manner the 'ons et' today may be likened to an-i an-i "nWtie "bodies the world over.

"rScp It was not long, however, when o.jiv 'hei:ies throughout the state took "'j question, and. through the pub-u.' pub-u.' aired their views on the vjcfcop. Ist Sunday came forth an .'jip i v the secretary of the "West-'Federation "West-'Federation of Miners, in which in-finuat:;.- remarks are made as to the nrsiuoh of the funds of the Catholic .'tiurdi l eld in trust by Bishop Matz a'-pr the demise of Bishop Machbeuf, '' .vmn ihrr were first deeded An vas ruade by the labor organization organiza-tion that, if a correct account of the funds could be made public, $1,000 vouid be donated to the building fund of the new church. Bishop Matz was not in Denver on Sunday, but it is likely that he would not have heeded the stories had he been here The indignation in-dignation of the Catholics of Denver, however, was aroused, and discussions were heard on all sides. John K. Mullen, Mul-len, who has for thirty ears been connected con-nected with the church in this city, volunteered an explanation in defense of the bishop's position. He stated ihat all the property in question had passed from the hands of the church, j antedating the accession of Bishop Matz. to the bishopric, and that at no time since his consecration had be handled the church finances. Every rcemher of the church in the city is familiar fa-miliar with these facts, and it was for this reason that the implied calumnies arainst the bishop brought forth a storm of protest. In his statement Mr. Mullen followed fol-lowed the transfer of the property mentioned and gave clear proof that every cent realized had been account ed for to the people. Bishop Matz is still in Kansas City, and it is not yet known whether he will make any reply. re-ply.
