Is Nothing In Them.
INVESTIGATION is TAKEN.
Standing Committee of the Diocese OF
Mississippi In Regard to Charges
Preferred by Rev. Frank HalIum
Against Bishop Bratton.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 1.-THE stand
ing committee of the diocese of Mis-.
sissippi met last night The charges
preferred against Bishop Theodore
Bratton by Rev Frank HaIlum were
presented and returned without ac.
tion by the committee
An investigation. of the charges
proves that there is nothing in them.
Dr. Hallum, the man who made them,
was formerly rector of St Andrews
church of this city, but was dismissed
for unclerical conduct This was dur.
ing the lifetime of the late Bishop
Thompson, after he preferred charges
against Bishop Thompson, which were
dismissed.
No one in the church of Mississippi
is taking seriously the charges pre-
ferred against Bishop Bratton.
