Presbyterian church was made interest,"
ing by report on the money it costs
to convert sinner and bring him into
the church. The report was. made by
the Rev. DR.. Donald Morrison, who

large churches is greatest. He found
that the average ranges from 1927 in

churches the cost is greatly increased.
DR.. Morrison showed that the cost to a
church for each sinner brought within

There was no adverse comment on
these figures. The Indianapolis sinner
is supposed to be worth the time, effort

Speaking of Cuba, he said the United

matter in the eyes of the entire world,

when asked for, he said that tremend-

This being the case, he thought all

THE CHARGES AGAINST C. C. Fits.
Afidavts Filed with the Supreme COurMr Fits Answer
mission Of Three Members Appointed to Hear and Report

The petition for the disbarment of At
torney General Clarke c. Fits of Brat
tleboro, which was presented to the su-
preme court last week by Lawyer John
ID. Spellman Of Rutland and was returned
to him as being not properly sworn to,
was returned to the court at Montpelier
Wednesday, with the affidavits as re-
quired, and the court notified Mr.
Spellman that It would be entertained.
Mr.. Fits and Judge e. L. Waterman
went to Montpelier Wednesday and in
the evening they examined the petition
and the afiidavits filed with It.
The charges against Mr.. Fits involve
the three matters mentioned in The Phoe-
nix last week, a collection on a judgment
against S. A. Smith & Co. in 1898 in favor
Of Glen Bailey and others of North
Carolina, check for $3.50 given by Mr..
Fits in 1895 to George Richards, then
proprietor of the American House, and
the Prescott Bartlett case, in which Mr..
Fits was counsel for d. p. Prescott
who was defeated. The specific accusa-
tion against Mr. Fits is that he was
guilty of fraudulent and deceitful prac-
tice In each of these matters. The
charges are signed by NJ. l. Reed, ]. c.
Allen, +. w. Stoddard, Charles jackson
and Eugene II. Akley OF Vernon, and
f. w. Putnam, s.. A. Smith, F. L. Hunt
and ]. ]. Eckels OF Brattleboro. Mr.. Put
colt matter.
Mr. Fitts's answer to these charges was
filed with the court yesterday This,
Friday. morning the court appointed a
commission of three members, lawyers of
high standing. who are to investigate
these charges and report their finding to
the court The members of the commits
sion are: A. A. Hall of St. Aibans
Frank l. Fish OF Vergennes, and John w.
Redmond OF Newport. Colonel Hall and
Mr. Fish are both well known in Wind
ham county. and in point of fact are
both natives OF this county Mr. Red
mond is the supreme court reporter.
Mr. Fits will use every effort to have
the hearing held at once. 1t is hoped
that II may be proceeded with next week.
BY Mr.. Fitts's personal friends here at
home, and. we think. by a very strong
majority OF the people of Brattleboro. IL
Is confidently believed that Mr. Fits will
sustain himself fully. and that his vindi-
cation will be complete
