BANKRUPTCY LAW.
Senator Hoar Reviews the Measure
Just Enacted by Congress.
Cuts Down Fees of Clerks, Referees
and Trustees - VIII Enable
Many Bankrupts to Get
on Their Feet.

Senator Hoar, chairman of tie SEN
ate committee on judiciary, who has
been urging the enactment of a bank
ruptcy law for the past Is years, has
given out a statement apropos of the
senate's acceptance of the conference
report. Among other things he said:
The present bill is a comprt mise.
1t will undoubtedly be found that i'll
getting it through we have been
obliged to leave in it some crudities
and i~mperfections which must be rem
edied by subsequent Legislation 1t is
quite likely hat the fees of clerks,
referees and trustees will be found to
be too low. One of the great objec-
tions was that under the old law the
estates were eaten up by costs and
that the creditors got little or moth
ing. So we nave pared to the quick in
that particular. Instead of the long
list of crimes there are only two foI
which a bankrupt is to be punished
one, that of wilfully making 4 false
answer in the bankruptcy proceed
ings; the other, the embeZzlement OF
the property of the estate. The terms
of discharge, too, are exceedingly lib
eral; and it is provided that farmers
and -wage-earners will not be the sub
jects ofinvoluntary bankruptcy, which
extends in general to merchants. man
ufacturers, bankers, printers and pub
fishers, etc. There are some possible
cases of fraud which the law will not
prevent. But the objection to a strict
er one was SO great that il was not
thought best to risk the success of this
bill which, as il 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.
The bill seems TO me n great deal
better than that known as the Torrey
bill in two particulars-one, hat
the bill will enable from 10000 to
100000 b~ankrupts to get on their feet
again. 1t will enable manufacturers
and merchants to get a fair division of
their debtors property and will pre-
vent a great deal of fraud, embezzle-
ment and wasteful dealing with prop
erty."
