NEEDS AMENDING.
Some Objections to the Bankrupt Law
Discovered.

Chicago, July 25.-Referees and ex-
perts on bankruptcy law assembled
here today to dissect the newly estab-
lished bankruptcy act, show its defects
and draw up a memorial to congress
for action. The delegates represent all
parts of the country and the law will
be thoroughly discussed. About thirty
delegates attended the opening session
which was devoted to organization of
the convention. Charles A. Hawley,
bankruptcy referee of the northern dis
trict of New York was made permanent
chairman and committees were formed
and rules adopted for the guidance of
the speakers. over 100 delegates are
expected to be here for tonight's ses-
sion.
In speaking of the operation of the
law in the eastern states, W. NJ. Com
stock, delegate from Utica, N Y, said:
We think that the fundamental prin-
ciples of the law are all right. There
are several sections of the act how
ever that should be amended. The sec
ton of the act most urgently in need
of amendment is that provision relating
to involuntary bankruptcy. The
language of this section is vague and
offers all kinds of opportunities for I'M
scrupulous attorneys to get around the
spirit of the law Then again some ma
chinery should be provided whereby
trustees of insOlvent estates can collect
the amounts due from debtors"

The decision Of Judge Hazen in the
city hau injunction case makes it plain
that what Is most needed by the cities
OF Kansas is more rights in the way of
self government. As long as cities must
ask the permission of the state Iegisla-
ture to do what is of no interest to any
body outside of the municipality, that
long will the injunctionist hnd work to
do. There is too much state interfer-
ence in purely local affairs. What do the
people OF Kansas at large their repre-
sentatives know or care about the mum
IcipaI affairs Of the city Of Topeka ?
What is needed is a. law broad enough
TO permit cities to do what they like so
long as it does not affect the people of
other localities
