MANY WANT JOBS Denver, Col., June 4. The Episcopal diocese of Colorado is reported bank rupt. The urn of $32,000 supposed to havetaeenwiir the. treasury cannotH be accounted for. Bishop Charles F Olmstead, who is supposed to he paid 17,500 a year, cannot get his salary. Church officials sought in vain to find A. A.

The diocese of Colorado formerly owned property in Denver worth $500,- 000. The present shortage and the losses, it is asserted, resulted from a deal with an Investment company. An appraisal of the diocese's prop erty reported during the day accounted for only $129,000 worth of property. About $32,000 in rentals and other in come is unaccounted for. The investment company agreed to build a $2,000,000 building on the dio cese's property on three lots in the business district and to pay a rental of $25,000 a year for the use of the property. The bui'.ding has not been constructed, but for three years the company paid the rental. The com pany offered a $15,000 bonus to cancel the lease. It is declared this was ac cepted by Bowhay.
