THE BANKRUPTCY BILL
Senator Hoar Discusses the Provisions
of the Law


WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Hoar,
chairman of the Senate Committee on Ju-
dietary, who has been urging the enact
ment of bankruptcy law for the past fif-
teen years, has given out statement apro-
pos of the Senate's acceptance of the con-
ference report Among other things lie
says:
1.-THE present bill is a compromise. 1t will
undoubtedly be found that in getting 1t
through we have been obliged to leave in it
some crudities and imperfections which
must be remedied by subsequent legisla-
ton. 1t is quite likely that the fees OF
clerks, referees and trustees will be found
to be low. One of the great objections was
that under the old law the estates were
eaten up by the costs and that the creditors
got little or nothing. So we have pared
to the quick in that particular. Instead of
long list of crimes there are only two
for which a bankrupt Is to be punished
one that of willfully making false answer
In the bankruptcy proceedings; the other
the embezzlement of the property of the
estate. The terms of discharge, too, are
exceedingly liberal and it is provided that
farmers and wage earners will not be the
subjects of involuntary bankruptcy which
extends in general to merchants. manufac
turers, banking, printers and publishers,
etc. There are some possible cases of
fraud which the law will not prevent, but
the objection to a stricter one was so great
that it was not thought best to risk the
success of this bill which, as it was, has
been saved as by fire, by standing out for
a perfect rule to be applied to cases which
would not occur once in a thousand times
1.-THE bill seems to me great deal bet
ter than that known as the Torrey bill,
in two particulars-one, that the settle
ment cannot be delayed by appeals to the
Supreme Court of the United States, eX-
cept in two cases; first, where a Federal
question is involved. and second, where
decision of the Supreme Court is needed
out the country-and next, in the provi-
sion for a summary application to court
of appeals in an interlocutory way to cor
rect mistakes as the proceedings go on, in
stead of waiting until the final determina-
tion in the court below and then keeping
the whole estate tied up until after final
decision in the higher court.
1.-THE bill will enable from $50 900 to 2O0,.
900 bankrupts to get on their feet again.
1t will enable manufacturers and mer-
chants to get a fair division of their debt
ors' property and will prevent a great deal
of fraud, embezzlement and wasteful deal
ing with property"
