BANKRUPTCY LAW IN EFFECT
Not Mach Business VIII he Done he
fore November.

Washington, Aug. This is the date
set for the new bankruptcy law to 90
into effect, but on account of an over.
sight on the part of the trainers of the
law it is not expected that there will be
any important business under the new
law before November l.
The law provides that the United
States supreme court shall frame rules
for proceedings in bankruptcy, but as the
supreme court had already adjourned
when the measure was passed and does
not reassemble until October, no rules,
forms and orders for procedure can be
issued by the court until it reconvenes.
The law also provides that petitions for
voluntary bankruptcy shall not be filed
until after the expiration of 80 days, and
petitions for involuntary bankruptcy un.
til the expiration of four months, so that
there will be little business done under
the new law until November.
The district courts, however, have been
empowered in case the necessity arises
before October, to make their own forms
and rules of procedure, which will have
a binding force and effect until the SUI
preme court meets. II is not anticipated
though, that the district courts will ia Ike
such a course to any great extent, owing
to the future complications likely to
arise.
