PLANS TO REMEDY
BANKRUPTCY ACT
Sherley Bill Provides For
Elimination of LoophOles
In Present Law.

The Sherley bankruptcy bill, framed
tn remedy certain Imperfections in eI-
listing bankruptcy legislation, which has
been favorably reported by the House
Judiciary Committee, is, according TO
its author. to close certain existing loop
holes in the statutes now governing
bankruptcy proceedings, some OF which
have Injured Improperly to the creditors
and others to the debtor.
The principa! corrective features OF
the Sherlcy bill are enumerated as fol-
lows:
Reducing 10 the commission basis. to
be computed upon moneys realized, the
compensation Of receivers and trustees
limiting the maximum amount that may
be allowed instead Of leaving the COM
pensation TO the unlimited discretion Of
the court, as is permitted under the
present law.
Permitting the voluntary bankruptcy
OF corporations so as 10 avoid the pres
ent roundabout way, by involuntary
bankruptcy, for corporations 20 80 into
bankruptcy when desirable for the
benefit Of creditors.
Regulating settlements between credi-
tors and debtors by permitting compO-
sitions before adjudication of bank
rUptcy, as well As afterward.
Providing ancillarv jurisdiction In all
Federal courts. so as TO protect the as
sets Of a bankrupt located in other
state.
Making it competent for trustees to
oppose discharge of a bankrupt at the
cXpenee of the estate where creditors
authO ne such opposition.
: provision clarifying the preference
provisions OF the bankruptcy law
Giving trustees the rights Of creditors
~hr~ = Do a Il f~Nr
sertinE their rights because OF the bank
Tuptcy court having custody Of the prop
erty.
Il is understood some Of the Demo-
cratic members Of the Judiciary Com
bittec will fla a minority report on the
Sherley bill, which report will provide
for the repeal Of al existing bankruptcy
Legislation.

PIECE OF FICTION
NETS HER MONEY
Robert Murphy and Sister Intend
to Press Case Against
Visitor.

have come from the claim department
Of a railroad, and in IL she was infOrme5
that her claim for S6.25J had been al
lowed, and the money was in the Office
at her disposal"
The other apistIs bore the letter head
OF a natiordl bank in Washington In
this Mrs Young was informed that
she had on deposit in that bank 1906.
ard would she please claim it
These were the straws that broke the
cameIs back. Then she began her
game, say her acCUsers. First a small
loan TO tide me over the present trouble
and until l can get some of the money
from the bank Then larger loan.
and so on ad initum. Finally she Of
fered 20 sell her claims for cash, and
accepted several offers for them. But
she did not deliver the goods.
This 'Get-rich-quick' plan together
with that little lisp was a winner. MIS-.
Young worked II until last Decem Ger
when suddenly the neighborhood woke
up. But Mrs. Young had iiown. Some,
through shame Of being made the dupes
Of the woman, kept their tongues,
others less nervous, told the story and
finally Mr.. Murphy swore out warrant
for the woman Then began the nunt
for her. Finally Sleuth Welt located
her at Arundel There also was found
Wagner who was working a farm on
shares for negro preacher Mrs.
Young took her arrest as calmly as n
she were not at all interested and even
in jail she does not seem 10 mind.
Confident Of Acquittal
They can't prove anything on me-
she said. IF they gave me any money.
there is nothing TO show H. ] just Dor
rowed a little now and then and II they
will give me a chance I will pay il back
But how can ! pay anything here IN
Jail like 7 am It's a shame. mister.
that's what IL Is.
Il amt got cent IN the world. and
now ! haven't any more friends. I
didn't do nothing wrong. but they done
put me in jail. and I don't know when
I am going 10 get out"
And that little lisp was plainly I'm
evidence as she spun her little plea 10
the reporter.
It satisfied Justice Anderson before
whom she was ARA iEned Immediately
after her arrest. When she told him In
her own inimitsble manner that she
didn't want 10 be tried before no JUS
tice." he was satisfied and remanded
her 10 jail under bail Of 81. 90. That's
where she is now-in the stone lookup
on the hill IN this place. And here she
will stay until the next term Of the
court in March. unless her friends
from Baltimore, whom she IS daily ex-
pecting" shows up
But Il was the little lisp turned the
trick.

MURDERS YOUNGLAD
Bill Stewart Shoots and Kills Gordon Laneston
at the Keller Ranch South Of Town..
Posse in Close Pursuit.

Mystery surrounds the real cause
of the terrible tragedy, no good rea-
son being advanced Gordon Lang
ston had been in charge of the crew
that was doing the lambing and had
a few words with Stewart about the
work, but nothing more was thought
of it at the time. Thursday evening
the men had more words that at first
looked serions, but the men retired
without it resulting seriously. The
climax came Friday morning at the
breakfast table. After heated words
Stewart left the table, changed his
clothes, took six shooter and went
to the barn. After Langston had
finished his breakfast he went to the
barn and was met at the door by Ste
Wart, who Shot him four times, kill
ing him instantly. Any one of the
shots would have resulted seriously.
Immediately after the shooting
Stewart armed himself with rifle,
in addition to the six shooter, and
forced Charlie Graham to give up his
horse and rode away. 1t is rumored
That Stewart said that he would never

be AIKEN alive, but would make his
getaway.
A posse was organized at once and
started in pursuit, tracing him at
first to the McGregor ranch and from
there to Lake Lebo, where from the
tracts it was evident that his horse
was giving out. The posse changed
horses and started out afresh and was
IN hopes to run him down before
dark. On account of Stewards threat
the posse are working with care, so as
not to be caught in ambush as it is
said that he is a dangerous man.
Stewart came from the east about
year ago and has been working in this
district since then. He has wife
and baby that are said to be at the
Duffy ranch and ignorant of the
tragedy
The description given of Stewart is
that he is about thirty years of age, a
blonde, medium height, weighs about
ITO pounds, and when last seen was
dressed in dark suit and wore
slouch hat and gum boots.
