THE BANKRUPTCY LAW.
Changes Proposed in n Bill Introduce
ed nv MIR. RAY.

Changes Proposed in n Bill Introduce
ed by MIR. Ray.
Representative Ray of New York, chair
man of the House judiciary committee. has
introduced a bill to amend the bankruptcy
law and makes a statement about 1t in
which he says:
1.-The most important changes are six ad-
ditional objections to a discharge, viz: l..
Obtaining property on credit upon a ma
terially false statement in writing, and C2)
making a preference, though the bill makes
it necessary that the creditor relying upon
this objection shall prove that the prefer
ence was fraudulent.
"3 The making of a fraudulent transfer
of property.
IL That the bankruptcy was materially
contributed to or brought on by gambling.
"5 That a discharge shall be refused to
any one who has previously been discharg-
ed within six years; and.
any one who refuses tn the course Of the
proceeding to answer any questions approv-
ed by the court,
1.-The bill also provides that mercantile
corporations may be adjudged voluntary
bankrupts after receiving the consent there
to of a majority of their stockholders; also,
that a voluntary ;receiVership of an insolv-
ent corporation under the state laws shall
be an act of bankruptcy. 1t shortens the
time from twenty-five days to ten days
when default Is made and provides for a
short service by publication where the
debtor has absconded. The bill makes the
wife a competent witness, irrespective of
the laws of the state

bills providing for certain extensions of the
Capital Traction Company, the Metropoli-
tan Railway Company and the Anacostia
Railway Company. number of amend
ments to the District appropriation bill.
favoring street improvements, were also
favorably reported.
The committee reported a substitute for
House bill 2S26, authorizing certain extern
sions on the lines of the Capital Traction
Company. This substitute provides for an
extension of the company's lines on F and
G streets, south of Pennsylvania avenue
and west of the State War and Navy
building. This extension has been asked
for by property owners in the section of the
city in which the new lines are TO be run.
1t is proposed that certain cars on the
PENNSYLVANIA avenue line shall run to and
from Georgetown via T and q streets, thus
opening up this section.
The committee proposes two amendments
to the bill. The first extends the lines from
their present terminus at street and New
Jersey avenue along c street to Delaware
avenue, thence to B street north. to the
corner of the Capitol grounds and around
the block bounded by B. list and c streets
and Delaware avenue. This will allow the
passengers on the 14th street cars, instead
of being landed at the Baltimore and ONO
railroad station. at New Jersey avenue and
c street to ride to the Capitol grounds or
to within block of the Congressional
Library, and will carry them to the pro-
posed new station Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, at c street and
Delaware avenue. But one square of sim
gle-track road will be constructed to make
this extension. The road for the remainder
of the distance coinciding with that of the
Metropolitan railway and the one set Of
tracks will be used by the same company.
The second amendment provides for a
DETECTION of the Anacostia railway so as
to bring passengers on that line to the
Library and to the Capitol
In detail the changes of route provided
in this bill follow: Beginning at the inter-
section of 1st and c streets northwest. east
on c street to Delaware avenue and thence
by a loop around square CSC, bounded by
Delaware avenue. B. 1st and c streets
northeast; also. beginning at the intersec-
ton of Pennsylvania avenue and 18th street
northwest, south on 11th street by double
tracks to G street northwest. west on G
street by single track to 25th street. north
on 25th street by single track to Pennsyl-
vania avenue; also. beginning at the tracks
at the corner of 18th street and q street
northwest, south on 18th street by single
track to + street northwest. west on

other disagreeable matters. the merits or
dement's of which the committee does not
undertake to point out criticise or decide.
Relieving that the true remedy, so far as
Congress is concerned, Is to provide a COM
petent. well-organized board of education,
subject connected with the management of
the public schools, improve their methods
and make them efficient the committee,
therefore, does not recommend detailed leg
|
duficulty of securing an efficient board of
control. There are many able, public-spr-
tied citizens in the District of Columbia
from whom a most efficient board could be
selected. The only question is, How can
they be induced to serve? Large salaries
will not secure them. but would invite po-
Mtical aspirants to apply for the positions
Efficient service with no compensation has
seldom been procured in either public or
private station.
The committee has modelled its plan after
the practice Of business corporations. 1t is
almost universal practice for large busi-
ness establishments to pay the trustees or
directors - 80 or 10 for personal attend
ance at each meeting Of the board. Strange
as It may seem. such slight compensation
secures the attendance OF the busiest and
wealthiest men in the commercial centers
OF the country. Applying that principal to
the board OF education, 1t Is proposed to
give $M to each member for personal at
tendance at meetlng, provided he shall
not receive In any one year more than
