The 18th annual banquet oil the YER
mont veterans association OF Boston
and vicinity was held Thursday night at
Young's hotel Boston, and was most
ENJOYABLE event. Gov. Chal les J. Bell Of
Vermont was one of the guests.
After Pres. L. A. Lamson had delivered
an address OF welcome, Gov. Bell made a
elcitous speech. He spoke of the
work of the veterans and gave a de-
scrption OF his first experience in the war
il a manner that caused much amuse-
ment.
He sad that the men who had left Yer
mont and sought homes elsewhere were
ust as loyal to their native state today
as they were on the day they left. They
had reason to be proud, as today YER
mont stands at the head OF the states for
right and justice as she did in 1861.
Pres. William F. Dean of the Massa-
chusetts senate made a very interesting
speech. He said that while be was not a
native OF Vermont he was proud that be
was son ola Vermonter. Massachu-
sets, be said, was proud OF the sons and
daughters OF Vermont who live within
her borders.

Glory" and received loud applause.

Charges Not Sustained.
The commissioners before whom the
evidence in the disbarment case against
Attorney General c. c. Fits of Brattle.
ooro was heard, filed their report last
week Tuesday. They find the charges
are not sustained and that there has
been no wilul wrong-doing on the part
OF that gentleman, no unprofessional
conduct in the Richards case out of
which the charges grew. The report
says;
Except for the grave mistake in his
Fnen financial condition, OF mixing his
'nents money with his own, the mistake
winch furnished the occasion, and the
only excuse in his own mind tor the
second lapse, the April letter. now about
y years old, the hearing developed
nothing to the discredit of Mr.. Fits. In
al TINS we lind as hereinbeiore stated
mat SAID Fits had no intention OF in
uting or defrauding his client and it had
no such effect.
Inc testimony was Overwhelmingly
ana practically without dispute) that
salo Fits is an able lawyer, aggressive,
persistent and efficient as practitioner;
lra'ous and faithful to the interests OF his
.nenlS, and with high sense OF PROBES
Sonal honor"
ne report is no surprise to Mr.. Fits
.Itnas' and they are naturally very
!uuch grati6ed at the outcome of the
lInvestigation.
