ed for Clients and UnprOfes-
sional Conduct.

Montpelier, Feb. 1.-The charges Of

tain Brattleboro men through Attorney

General Clarke 9. Fits Of Brattleboro,
and the answer to the allegations, have
both been filed with the Vermont SUI
preme court The charges allege that

lected for his clients. These charges
the attorney general denies absolutely.
The petition for disbarment covers FIVE
typewriter pages, and the answer is Of
about the same length.
Attorney General Fits arrived in
town last night and at eight o'clock was
shown the disbarnlent petition. From
that time, oil night long and up TO
this afternoon, he was busy preparing
his answer, There are three charges in
the petition:
That Mr.. Fits collected S130 for
George Z. Richards Of Brattleboro and
that he never turned the amount over
to his client. To this charge Mr.. Fits
replies that on December 27, 1898, he
turned over part of the money and
that in June, 1894, he RENTED the bal
ance Of the amount, which was S102.
That in 1898 he collected money for
r. A. Smith, that the matter was not
closed and that he did not turn the
money over. This charge the answer
declares to be false. Mr.. Fits declares
that he paid the money over to F. Z.

sci.

Young Mems Club Defeated
Crescent Five
LIN LOCAL GYMNASIUM
The Visitors Were Little But Livery.
and the Home Team Won Out
Easily in the Last
Period. g ss.A

The X. M. G. basket ball team defeat-
ed the Crescent Five Of Burlington last
evening by the score Of 24 to IL. The
game was the best seen il this city for
b long time, the Young Mems club team
being made up OF last years star men.
They apparently have not forgotten how
to play basket ball. The passing Of
both teams was superb, the \. NJ. G.
being a trine better at this kind Of
play than were the Burlingtonians. A
very satisfactory number Of rooters were
present at the game, both sides Of the
hall being lined, and the gallery filed.
The game was decidedly well refereed,
that official being Captain Holeomb OF
the Edmunds high school team. Gau-
thier was the Barre official.
When the two teams came on the floor
the difference In weight would have in
dicated that the home team would walk
away with the visitors, but even though
they were very light the Crescent Five
put up such good exhibition of team
work that they held the Barre boys
down very well, the score being tied ut
the end of the FIRST period. At the end
OF the second period it was IA to 10
iii favor OF the home team, and during
the last period the Young Mems club
secured five baskets to their opponents
two, thus giving them considerable of
lead.
Captain Holcomb Of Burlington threw
the ball up between the opposing cen.
ters, Knapp and Roby, at s;15, and from
that to the end of the game it was fast
basket ball.
Kenpter of the visitors secured the
first basket before the whistle had been
blown more than minute. Knapp shot
the next one in short order. The case
with which the visitors secured the frat
basket set the home team at work hard
er, and changed the spectators views
as to the probability Of an easy victory
for the 7. n G.
Kempter shot another about a. mir
ute after Knapp's rasket. johnson Of
the visitors got a sree throw from the
foul line and succeeded In dropping the
ball through the net. Rust also got one
from The foul line, followed by Sum
mers with another basket from The
aoor. Kempter and Rust each secured
one point from free throws on additional
fouls. This ended the scoring for the
first period, the score being 6 to Q.
In the second period Roby Of the Cres-
cents led of with basket, which plac-
ed the Burlingtonites two points ahead.
Rust then secured four baskets before
the visitors scored again. Just as the
period closed Kempter shot the last bas-
ket of the period, adding two points to
the Crescent's score. The standing was
then IA to 10, in favor OF the Y.
M @.
In the third period the Y. NJ. G. ont
played their opponents and secured five
baskets. The visitors shot two baskets
from the foul line and also two from
the floor. Knapp was the player who
found the basket best in this period,
dropping the ball through FIVE times.
Rust also added two points to his rec
ord in this period. For Burlington Ruby
scored five points and johnson one.
